Fleeced (Ft. Deluscious)

from Shaving the Sheep by Ngajuana

lyrics

You work yourself to the bone, for a car and a home,
A cell phone, and all the other things you could own,
But all you really get is stress, til the day you’re deceased,
You’re just sheep, following the flock to be fleeced.

Yo, William is a hard worker, he’s never late,
So we found it weird, when he wasn’t there in his place,
He’s been sick twice in five years, he’s motivated,
He’s dedicated; he keeps work and home life separated,
You bet he’ll make it, he keeps himself focused,
Even though, they low-blowed him on that last promotion,
He’s a soldier; he really wants this company to win,
Maybe we should let him know, we appreciate him,
They don’t appreciate me, but I break my back for them,
For what, no raise, well, today’s payback for them,
They had the wool over my eyes, wolves in disguise,
This world disgusts me, but I’ve got a little surprise,
I’m gonna light ‘em up, nice and rough,
And show em I won’t take it anymore, uh-uh enough’s enough,
I worked my whole life to earn my spot, fair and square,
And now it kinda looks like I’ll never get there.

You work yourself to the bone, for a car and a home,
A cell phone, and all the other things you could own,
But all you really get is stress, til the day you’re deceased,
You’re just sheep, following the flock to be fleeced.
You work yourself to the bone, for a car and a home,
A cell phone, and all the other things you could own,
But all you really get is stress, til the day you’re deceased,
You’re just sheep, following the flock to be fleeced.

I was living by the rules, and working by the book,
And look at where it got me, I been overlooked,
That promotion should have been mine, I put in the time,
Lost my wife to my work, dollars cost me my dime,
Now they’re all gonna die, say my nine and my four five,
Extra clips, and enough rounds for every floor twice,
Kick in the door, yelling GET ON THE GROUND,
Waste one round, to show I’m not fucking around,
Then I’ll line em up like circus seals, and start offing cats,
Make my way up to the top floor where the boss is at,
But first I’m stopping at the dude who stole the job and brrapp,
I got a special bullet, saved to lay his bitch-ass flat,
On to the boss, making-a-racket with the ratchet,
Shooting anything that moves, trying to bury the hatchet,
Catch him, drag him to the window, streets in the distance,
Jump out the window, him gripped up, and die with him.
You work yourself to the bone, for a car and a home,
A cell phone, and all the other things you could own,
But all you really get is stress, til the day you’re deceased,
You’re just sheep, following the flock to be fleeced.
You work yourself to the bone, for a car and a home,
A cell phone, and all the other things you could own,
But all you really get is stress, til the day you’re deceased,
You’re just sheep, following the flock to be fleeced.
