[In] (Spoken Sassy:) Oh, excuse me? (Adlib:) Sorry to interrupt your conversation... (Adlib:) But I’m actually working over here. (Adlib:) Yeah. 14 years deep. Watch and learn. [V1] I sat in the classroom, fourteen years ago Learning the Pharmacology, watching the debt grow. I took the Medical Coding, I mastered the art I learned the SOAP notes, I learned every part. I got the loans hanging over my head like a cloud I got the certification, yeah, I made my mama proud. But the system is broken, the logic is loose And I’m about to cut myself out of this noose. (Adlib:) Here we go... [Ch] She ain't the boss of me, but she’s higher on the rung? She’s got the "Expert" title rolling off of her tongue. She walked in the door in 2020 With no student loans and pockets of plenty. Straight from the streets, no school in her past But she’s the one climbing the ladder so fast. I’m asking For What? Did I pay all the fines? If an "Expert" is someone who stands there and whines? (Adlib:) Make it make sense! [Hook] (Stomp - Clap - Stomp - Clap) Expert at the Talk! (Novice at the Walk!) Expert at the Talk! (Novice at the Walk!) I got the receipts! (She got the seat!) Expert at the Talk! (Novice at the Walk!) (Adlib:) Yeah, she sure can talk! [V2] I’m stocking the rooms, I’m scrubbing the steel Taking care of instruments, keeping it real. I’m creating the schedules, mapping the day While she’s chit-chatting half of the morning away. She’s leaning on counters, talking 'bout clothes While I’m wiping the germs right under her nose. I’m holding the practice up with my two hands While she’s checking her phone and making her plans. (Adlib:) Put the phone down! [V3] And here is the kicker, the joke of the year I’m training the "Expert" on how to shift gears! I’m showing the "Boss" how to open the file And she looks at me blank with a plastic smile. How am I the student if I’m teaching the class? How is she the leader if she’s sitting on her... (Pause) Asset? If I gotta show you how to do your own job Then take off the badge, 'cause you’re looking like a slob! (Adlib:) I said what I said! [Ch] She ain't the boss of me, but she’s higher on the rung? She’s got the "Expert" title rolling off of her tongue. She walked in the door in 2020 With no student loans and pockets of plenty. Straight from the streets, no school in her past But she’s the one climbing the ladder so fast. I’m asking For What? Did I pay all the fines? If an "Expert" is someone who stands there and whines? [Guitar Solo] (Adlib:) Get back to work! (Adlib:) I don't see you moving! (Adlib:) Check the SOAP note! Oh wait, you can't! [Out] (Adlib:) 14 years vs. 2020. (Adlib:) Do the math. You can keep the title. I’ll keep the competence. (Spoken:) "Can you show me how to do this?" (Spoken:) No. Ask the Expert. (Sound of a heavy door slamming)

The "Expert" (For What?)
