Prompt / Lyrics
Title: The Bottom of the Bay [Intro] (Slow, heavy electric guitar with a lot of grit. A steady, thumping kick drum.) [Verse 1] Three days missed in sixty—yeah, they called it "attendance" But we all know the truth, it was budget dependence Clocked four-seven-nine, almost hit the mark Then they cut me loose and left me in the dark. Move to the next one, fifteen an hour Watching a veteran’s spirit go sour Doing the paperwork wrong for twenty years straight But I'm the one "unengaged"? Yeah, that’s a heavy weight. [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m at Vertifi, eighteen on the check Got a broom in my hand and a pain in my neck They called it "Lumber," but let's be real clear I’m the only one cleaning while the rest shift gear. [Chorus] I’m pulling every pallet just to sweep the floor While the world keeps moving past the warehouse door Taking off the plastic, picking up the trash Trading my pride for a little bit of cash. You wanted a janitor? You shoulda just said Instead of feeding me lies and messing with my head Yeah, I’m at the bottom, but I’m built for the climb Just a Masterpiece waiting on a different time. [Verse 2] Sweep the whole bay, then put it all back Watching the forklift fly down the track I don’t have the license, I don’t have the hours But I got the vision and I got the powers To see through the game and the corporate greed I’m more than a broom, I’m a different breed. [Bridge] (Music gets louder—heavy drums and distorted guitar) Go ahead, give me the trash, give me the dust I’ll do the job 'cause a living’s a must But don’t think for a second that this is the end I’m just gathering strength around the next bend. [Outro] (Guitar feedback fades out) Yeah... keep the broom. I’m just passing through. (Sound of a warehouse door slamming shut)
