Mos Def (yasiin Bey) - Workers Comp. lyrics

Ground rules I'll give you all the diamonds and money But you can't break my heart Cause that'll just get you fired and everybody needs a job Work is scarce, competition is fierce Fonzi fronting in the new leather like they don't care Word? Let's get you an award for that performance Winner in the category for the best boring Uh, tell the tough guys we tougher than tough times and needles in the nerves to make the tighten up unwind One time, for locking out the light in your eyes You're searching for your perfect one Broken down from getting it all To take it however it comes Plain day, you the specialest one, oh me oh my! I'll give you all the milk and the honey but you can't break my heart Cause that'll just get you fired Sloppy worker get your pay grade bust Work is scarce, sk**ed working is rare Fonzi fronting at the job site, primping up they hair Word? Well tell them only staff could drink they coffee Walking papers at the office, sleep late tomorrow morning Tell the tough guys we tougher than tough times and nerves don't snap when the clock touch crunch time That's right we tougher than tough times From been narrowing, to the clock just unwind For sure we tougher than tough times My proof don't need to lie, my tighten up don't unwind Sunshine, lifting up the light in your eyes You're gazing at your perfect one Broken down from never at all to better than you could ever want Great day I know that you had to come, oh me oh my! I'll give you all the diamonds and money But you can't break my heart Cause that'll just get you fired and you're doing such a beautiful job
