Already Know ft. Mikal kHill & int eighty Lyrics

Receiving a paycheck, not worth checking it

Working to the bone all coverage no benefits

Three jobs part time, all days, all grind

Hit me with a contract I'll ask where to sign

Economic downturn got me in a spot

Loading up on schemes, already had a plot

Calculated value from employers that my time see

Return on investment's better with a crime spree

Salary freeze means nothing to me

Already living by the skin of my teeth

And I bust my ass 8 days a week

Gotta buy the boss's kid a new ATV

While MY kids wonder what we gonna eat

And it cuts me. Right down to the meat

And it guts me. To have to see

These Twitter happy vampires feed on the weak

You already know. What this is and how it's gonna go

You already see. Just how it's laid out and how it's gonna be.

Already been struggling, prices all doubling, oh so troubling

You already know. You already know.

Fact of the matter, gotta stack them ends

While labor related stress stays stacking our friends

And you ain't worth the paper that they print your check on

Use you up then say to get the fuck on

Paid less than my worst show, and that was at a church though

Treated like a charity, but they call it furlow

Bills on the third no-tice when the first go

Wanna decorate, relegated to the earth tones

One day they'll bury me under the dirt

Name tag hanging from the front of my shirt

A life only lived as a rich man's cattle

Survival is an uphill battle

And so we use our bootstraps to pull ourselves up

"We have it so good" but not good enough

Sleep when we're dead, work through our prime

Throw your hands up for Generation 1099

You already know. What this is and how it's gonna go

You already see. Just how it's laid out and how it's gonna be.

Already been struggling, prices all doubling, oh so troubling

You already know. You already know.
