[chorus: vic vega]
The more i realize everything becomes clear
Cause all i ever got was mean mugs and cold stares
They don't care i've been wailing for years
Not earning the respect for my work is unfair
The more i realize everything becomes clear
Cause all i ever got was mean mugs and cold stares
They don't care i've been waiting for years
Not earning the respect for my work is unfair
[verse 1: vic vega]
Here we go now
Watching other people win while i was suffering in silence
Fake love at this job my pain game is violent
Not winning feels like i'm being left out
Jealousy and envy said i pulling my pen out
Waiting for the right opportunity didn't come as planned
All these failures in my life, i took it like a man
Sitting comfortably on the restaurant chair
Realized nobody voted for me everything is clear
Tall poppy syndrome is a disease
People always want to see me fail, i smell jealousy
Too many co workers always keep complaining
Even when i won, everybody starts hating
People hate on me because i didn't socialize
Foreshadowing events getting tired of everybody's lies
Somehow i couldn't let it slide is devastating
Witnessing discrimination and segregation
Working here feels like i'm coming to high school
Always taking me as a vulnerable fool
Cause ain't nobody was here to help
Thinking about employee of the month keeps ruining my mental health
Having hopes wanted to win and get the recognition
Now ain't nobody wants to see me me winning
It really gets on my nerves
How the hardest co-worker does not get the credit that he deserves being aware of fake promises let's focus clear
Cuz all i ever got was being mugs and cold steers
Everybody just keeps giving me bad energy
But right now i'm not looking for sympathy
Because i do not understand
How i get no support from everyone they don't take my word for granted
It needs to be the other way around
Because my hard work let the whole fucking team down
[outro: vic vega/lennox's monologue]
On my days off i stayed in my room every day staring at the ceiling with my headphones on listening to music.i was constantly listening to a lot of music all the time to help cope with my depression. i couldn't let go of the pain inside of me and so i went to sleep. every now and then i started having flashbacks of my childhood
