Penny Pinching

How many times I got to go to work?

Always stuck on high alert, penny-pinching is absurd (no, no, no)

This company is full of shady soul

Locking in to play your role, they don't care about you know (no, no, no)

I used to think I had some value in this world

But now it's obvious I'm just another name (no)

I just can't play by all the rules, they lay out for you

And I'm not going to be a victim in this game

I'm about to be fired, my boss is a liar

I hate all these people, wish I could retire, man

I hate this building and the people in it

Got so used to losing, wish I could be winning

Man, I don't feel hurt, and I'm hurting and I feel so certain

It's permanent, and I feel so worthless and lost with no purpose

My car get declined when I'm making a purchase

After all these hours of working, these people they treat me like trash

Just 'cause they making a little more cash

But they making enough at the tax

Taking like half, I know I'll get the last laugh

People pretend, just I'm sick of pretending and holding my breath

And when I get distressed and can't get out of bed, man I drown in depression

They act like they better treat me like I'm NASA

Tomorrow I may do something I regret

And just stand on the desk of my boss and start kicking his head in

But I'll lose my passion and know that I mentioned that I'll be arrested

But maybe I'll test it, 'cause anything better than how I've been dealing

And I've been so pissed with the life that I'm living, man

I'm barely home with my wife and my children

But I'm gonna make it, I know it, I feel it

And I'm not gon' be a victim in this game

I'm taking home a check, but it don't give me many dollars

Especially when you consider I did 40 hours

The bottom of the pyramid, superiors above me

They don't show me love, they only show they like to judge me

You ain't got the right man for the job, though

So stressed, I'ma get me a bottle

I don't really wanna work all my life

Or I ain't never gonna get my mind right

'Cause I've been working hard all of my life doing this music thing

Why would I invest my time if that time ain't improving me?

Ain't getting two weeks notice

'Cause I don't really got time for that

I'ma throw away my resume

I don't really got a need for finding that (finding that)

I'm gonna be good, I'm gonna get paid

Making this music, I'm gonna get through it, it's obvious that it's fate
