[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, we dread, ayy
Working for your bread, uh
While the bosses sitting on asses
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, ayy
I got to work so hard for my just reward (Woah, yeah)
They put me through a test
And when I have done my best
The only thing I've got is praise, no raise (Woah-oy)

[Chorus]
A so the system work, if you nuh check it up
You bound to get adjured
A so the system work, if you nuh check it up
You will drop out of earth

[Verse 2]
I told them of my responsibility
And how I don't want to cut my credibility
Then they give me some assurety
And then I arguе about the security
Them pat mе on the shoulder (Pat me on the shoulder)
Saying everything is alright (Alright, alright)
When the Friday comes and I got my pay
Tomorrow mi a borrow (Woah-oy)
