m.a.t. - who do i work for? lyrics

[intro: treday]
uh
let me take y’all back to 1999
ha

[verse 1: treday]
when i was fifteen just started flipping them burgers
all i wanted was a car and to get be a quarter
scoop a girl up tell her meet me right at the corner
thought we knew what we was doing
we just do what we wanna
now the cookie company was the next step to it all
robert, coco went
thought we was running the mall
new owners came, didn’t like the way that we balled
gave the peace sign, told him he can handle it all
went from college to the vet
to the sub express
to a mom and pop shop that i love to death
but i was never moving up
maybe some myself
it’s always hard when you seeing that there’s something else
but deep down always knew i had a p-ssion for rapping
when my son came real life started to happen
i’m a man of many talents but the one that i know
is the farthest one away
running all out of hope
but i’m working

[hook]
[treday]
who do i work for?
[matthew]
i don’t make much
[treday]
who do i work for?
[matthew]
they don’t give a what
[treday]
who do i work for?
who do i work for?
[matthew]
uh
[treday]
i wanna quit cause

[verse 2: matthew]
i go to work, to make enough money
to pay these bills, my days ain’t sunny
cause i’m sitting in a cubical waiting on my funeral
but when it’s night time, i be working on this music yo
and right now my plan a is plan b
i don’t got a plan c cause i plan to be
the man next year, so y’all what wait
as i put my heart and soul on these tape
and there’s a reason why mcdonalds doesn’t pay much
you shouldn’t wanna stay there when you grow up
that’s a job, go get a career
and it’s never too late for you to face your fears
cause some of the world’s greatest talent is unknown
probably cause they stopped, didn’t keep going on
but homie stay strong and i’ma get this
hold up, another customer just walked through the door
got me feeling like tinashe, who do i work for?

[hook]

[verse 3: treday]
had a purpose with the changes
now i’m feeling the fire
time to switch it up being a delivery driver
big corporations lay you off whenever they want
it’s a part of the game i might be better alone
never got me a chain, i rather cop me a home
never wanted the fame, but this music i own
now it’s on, yeah this last job started off cool
still making music cause we got something to prove
made a promise to myself when it all got heated
i would treat people same way i wanted to be treated
long story short wrong people came in position
might as well have the wicked witch paying commission
all the sudden everybody start to feel the division
man i see it coming i don’t need no premonition
and so you already know how it came to an ending
got the same question that i asked myself in the beginning
man who am i work for?

[hook]

[verse 4: matthew]
i went to my boss, said i needed a raise
he told me this is how it is, all i’m willing to pay
is a hundred more, which i knew was bull
cause i made him thousands but i kept my cool
then my coworker left, he found a better job
i said good for him, though it put me in a tight spot
doing his job and mine at the same for the same pay
and to top it off as he went on his way
the boss had him give me a bad review
and that’s when i knew, he’s not my friend
because he tucked his tail between his legs and ran
instead of standing up to him and being a man
i’m in tip top shape, working on this hip hop tape
started my own business called the print shop
and it’s doing great
so tell me why should i work so hard for somebody else?
when i know what i’m worth and i can work for myself

[hook]
