Speech Debelle

Lyrics to Working Weak



The screams from my alarm scares the sleep from me

It’s my sleep thief it steals dreams from me

It’s an invention invented with the intention of

compelling

The most innocent of women to start swearing

I got a word with four letters to describe all the

bullshit I heard on these four days of work

Jackie from HR is soon to give birth so there backed up

like brick wall or black boys on a curb

Or at least that’s why I heard anyway outside in the

smokers haunt earlier today

Until light rain landing right on my b&h the water that

wetted it made it hard to inhale

Four minutes more life is what a smoker would say like

Jackie in admin who drinks 2 litres a day

I know this because a little game I like to play

I waste time and gaze at the water cooler but today is

my bestest day of the week so far

It starts with f and ends with liquor

For tonight we laugh we joke and play hard



CHORUS

Every day it is the same show my boss is an a hole but

I’m on the pay role so I guess I’ll just stay



Can I tell time is what he know wants to know

I’m suppose to start at nine but its nine two 0

But it’s not my fault it’s the fault of Blair cause I

went to the bus stop and there weren’t no bus there

So I went to the train station and guess what I saw

People doing kung fu just to get through the doors

Started fighting cussing and pulling hair and you know

that I’m farse so I was staying there

But now he’s looking at me like I’m a liar but if he

calls me that then I will get fired

Cause even though it’s true I won’t except that no name

calling that was in my contract

But I’m a good worker file all my files on time

Don’t get my files mixed up with files that’s not mine

Printed on both sides are the correct codes

And if he act like he don’t know the I’ll make him know

But today is my bestest day of the week by far

It starts with an f and ends with liquor for tonight we

laugh we joke and play hard
