You said no to the cup

Well, Monday morning came, the boss called your name,

Said “We’re doing random tests, just routine, not to fear.”

You gave a little chuckle, then you walked on out,

Left your hard hat hangin’ and your lunch on the ground.

Now it's been three weeks, you ain't punched no clock,

Phone blowin' up but you ain't talkin' to the shop.

Then I hear you sayin' like it's some kinda crime:

"They fired me, man, like I wasn’t on time!"

You said no to the cup, then you ran like hell,

Now you’re cryin' on Facebook, got a story to sell.

You ghosted the crew, left your steel toes behind,

Now you’re actin’ surprised they ain't treatin’ you kind.

Ain’t how it works when you’re gone with no sign…

You said no to the cup — and now you’re outta time.

Now you're talkin’ big, like they did you wrong,

Claimin’ it’s politics — same tired song.

But when they gave you a shot to come clean and stay,

You lit up a blunt and just walked away.

We all got bills, we all got rules,

But you played yourself, man, don’t blame the tools.

Now you’re on Snap sayin' "Work’s so unfair,"

While we’re sweatin' it out and breathin’ that air.

You said no to the cup, then you hit the road,

Left your shift high and dry in the overload.

Now you're whinin’ loud like you did not choose,

But walkin' out’s walkin' out, ain’t no excuse.

You burned your bridge, now you're beggin' for signs…

But you said no to the cup — and now you're outta time.

We ain’t mad, we just movin' on,

Found a new guy showin’ up at dawn.

He don't fake coughs or play the game,

He just clocks in and does the same.

You said no to the cup, now you're cryin' foul,

Actin’ like the victim with your head in a cloud.

But actions speak louder than your online posts,

And jobs don’t wait for no half-baked ghosts.

You had your shot — now the job ain’t mine…

You said no to the cup — and now you're outta time.
