[Verse]

Bruv, when you been skint
Back against the rope
And tryna hang onto hope
This the last ounce of it
Two steps back
Ain't the way to go
What frustration feel like
UK Emmy
White Chris don't know

When you overqualified
Talkin' KPIs
Got the business tryna grow
And they tryna stunt you
Fam, they used to hunt you
Now they playin' with ya dough
Tryna tell me 'bout myself
Strengths and weaknesses
Got me soundin' like a joke
Stealin' ideas
Using ebonics
When they present
Their slideshows
Product ripped from culture
Leave a boardroom
Full of vultures tryna call me bro
No

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Maybe if I code-switched
They'd promote man
To CMO and some more shit
Maybe if I ass-kissed
And unclenched my fist
I just might be more rich
Make ya business cool
Bring the profits through
Then them layoffs come and hit
Targetin' the Black folks
And the brown folks
As the kink in the ship

They lie 'bout decisions and data
'Scuse my grammar
Fuck you krackas
Who stay ignorant to systemic
Glass ceilings
And wanna repeat the chapters
Funny how the corporate life
Is like corpse life
How can a man really live life
When they either gon
Dead ya life
Or idea
The only way to make shit right

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Hustler, entrepreneur
Businessman
Show you what the difference is
Hustlas survive
By any means
Whether nine to five
He gotta feed his kids
He might slang a bean
He might've did a bid
But his life he might give
Secure his rib

Entrepreneur
Might've found a window
To exploit
Work for himself instead
Businessman
Might've found a team
With a room full of people
That he sold on that dream

People gonna follow
If you know how to lead
Shit, me I been all three
Them employee days
I just can't sustain
I'd rather take checks
In my business name
Experience and know-how is IP
None of this shit gon come for free

[Chorus]

Boss up, bruv

Pay up, fam
