Homage the Lion Killer - Overworked and Underpaid Lyrics
Official




I'm the powerless slave working for an hourly wage
As soon as I'm paid it's gone, ain't no salary saved
I battle with rage, a rat in a maze, trapped and restrained
Person made to work until his battery drains
What's our purpose on earth? How is happiness gained?
Most would rather complain than try and actually change
Instead of basking in pain I'm gonna master the game
By rapping insane and stack a lot of cash in the bank
But I'm chained to a job that I hate and despise
We never really did away with slavery times
A sign of my grief is how I'm heated and grinding my teeth
Need to find relief but all I'm feeding my mind is defeat
I'd like to leave but need employment to live
Wouldn't even be so bad if I enjoyed what I did
As a kid thought getting older would be awesome great
Now I'm grown and noticed that it's going the opposite way
Overworked and underpaid, go to work another day
Learn to numb the pain, hopefully we earn enough to gain
Something made by other slaves overworked and underpaid
But the difference is they only earn a buck a day
Overworked and underpaid, go to work another day
Learn to numb the pain, hopefully we earn enough to gain
Something made by other slaves overworked and underpaid
But the difference is they only earn a buck a day
It's hard to wake up and wanna start a day that just sucks
I'm angry as f*ck, slaving just to make me a buck
I'm hating this stuff, don't wanna die but need a big change
And it's true I'm losing my mind inside this sick game
I'm a bit ashamed of myself, thought I'd be gaining some wealth
But all that's multiplied is the amount of pain that I've felt
Who can help? No one I know, except me
World's full of prisoners somebody's gotta set free
I won't let it be, I want it better right now
Drown employers with the water from the sweat of my brow
I don't want the crowd to go and think I'm wrongly confessing
A job is a blessing, but one that can be hard and depressing
Money isn't real but it has all of us stressing
Any struggle we encounter is all part of progressing
And I'm guessing next time you're stuck at work in the day
You'll start to wonder if that shit is even worth what you're paid
Overworked and underpaid, go to work another day
Learn to numb the pain, hopefully we earn enough to gain
Something made by other slaves overworked and underpaid
But the difference is they only earn a buck a day
Overworked and underpaid, go to work another day
Learn to numb the pain, hopefully we earn enough to gain
Something made by other slaves overworked and underpaid
But the difference is they only earn a buck a day
I know I'm destined for more, recording sessions and tours
Impressive awards, undressing all the sexiest whores
Buy a brand new Lamborghini park it next to my Porsche
Sip tequila with my feet up on the Mexican shores
Need a bunker full of guns and other weapons of war
And of course I'd have to buy a private jet to explore
Pay a maid to do my laundry and the rest of my chores
Her dress would be short, I like it when she bends to the floor
Every night inside my life be like an excellent porn
Girls squirt and they get wet like they were drenched in a storm
Be adored instead of always being left and ignored
Entertained instead of feeling all depressed when I'm bored
There would never be too great of an expense to afford
Feed the homeless with the money that I spent at the store
I was born to start rapping I'm the best and I'm sure
But none of this has really happened cuz I guess that I'm poor
