Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got a language barrier
& a roof to do
Ecuadorian say they understand,
don’t do what I said
I point at the ridge
I point at the nail line
They nod so hard
like the whole job fine
I get “yes boss,
but no one is doing what I said”
I waste words
try to re-explain
Same sun, same ladder,
same dust on my shoes
I keep talking clear
still lose, still lose
[Pre-Chorus]
I say it slow
I say it plain
They say “okay”
then do it again
I’m out here
spinning my mouth
while the clock
drips down south
[Chorus]
Yes boss, yes boss
where did it go?
Yes boss, yes boss
same old show
I get “yes boss,”
then nothing gets done
Next time boss
and the day is gone
Yes boss, yes boss
I hear that sound
Yes boss, yes boss
but the roof stays down
[Verse 2]
I mark the board
with my finger and chalk
I show them twice
then I watch them walk
One guy smiles
like we’re all set
but the corners wrong
and the pitch ain’t met
I climb back up
in the hot white air
Sweat in my eyes
and a gap right there
I get “next time boss”
like that fixes me
But next time means
more rework for free
[Chorus]
Yes boss, yes boss
where did it go?
Yes boss, yes boss
same old show
I get “yes boss,”
then nothing gets done
Next time boss
and the day is gone
Yes boss, yes boss
I hear that sound
Yes boss, yes boss
but the roof stays down
[Bridge]
Maybe my hands
say more than my tongue
Maybe their nod
is where the joke begun
I’m tired of words
that land like smoke
I need clean lines
not another joke
[Final Chorus]
Yes boss, yes boss
where did it go?
Yes boss, yes boss
same old show
I get “yes boss,”
then nothing gets done
Next time boss
and the day is gone
Yes boss, yes boss
I hear that sound
Yes boss, yes boss
but the roof stays down

Style
Trap with Latin percussion swing and a clipped 92 BPM bounce; verse rides sparse kick, hat rolls, and a minor-key guitar lick, pre-chorus strips to bass and handclaps, chorus hits with stacked gang vocals on the complaint line. Close-mic lead with doubled ends, quick ad-lib replies, tape-stop turns, and short delay throws. Dry, punchy, tight-front mix.
