Workers Comp Lyrics - The Ecstatic - Mos Def

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 frontin' 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 

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 at all 

To take it however it comes 

Plain day you the specialist 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 skilled working is rare 

Fonzi fronting at the job site 

Primpping up they hair 

Word? Well tell them only staff could drink they coffee 

Walking papers hit the office 

Sleep late tomorrow morning 

Tell the tough guys we're tougher than tough times 

And nerves don't snap when the clock touch crunch time 

That's right we're tougher than tough times 

From been narrow wind 

To the clock just unwind 

Fa sho' 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
