Golden Handcuffs

Falling, fading
Down, down, down I go
Falling, fading
Down, down, down, down I go

They say pressure over time forms a diamond
The Oilfied's only worth it while you climbing
Got me with my head up, chest out, everyday grinding
Big Check helped me see the silver lining
Huh, I would have been better off mining
Doyon could give a fuck about your time in
Laying down pipe like I'm doing the Heisman
Sent the neighbors hand over, now I'm behind him
Working stacked out seen a couple hands sobbing
Put me on a new crew, started at the bottom
Around that time my brother passed
With him it's like my whole world crashed
Oil price dropped, another rig stacked
Landed on 142 with a target on my back
Excuse me if I sound a little jaded
Golden handcuffs that lining faded

Falling, fading
Down, down, down I go
Falling, fading
Down, down, down, down I go

Uh, let me tell you what that pressure do
If they're only looking for flaws, they'll find a lesser you
I had just bought a house, I was happy to see the crew
Then relief showed me a note saying "save it all for Dru"
I needed the money, couldn't get side tracked
Pounded a monster, like a Kyle I attacked
Had a long list time to work on it
Then halfway through the hitch they said "pack your shit"
I called the office like: "please, I'll take what I can get"
Made a native beg double burger with cheese type of shit
For that Doyon gold I let my heart bleed
My lowest of low's is higher than your peak
I work to feed my family you work to feed your addiction
That's why y'all go missing every time we start tripping
Fuck it spend the whole check on what you sniffing
I'll just shut up cleaning the same pits you piss in

Falling, fading
Down, down, down I go
Falling, fading
Down, down, down, down I go

Y'all lit a fire that lives on now
Shareholder hire is from the pits on down
You want to go higher, then you can't act brown
I mean, my light skins might survive another round
Career going up and down like a rack and pinion
Most rigs won't even let you have an opinion
Do as your told a bunch of Ron Wilson minions
Paint it white because white is right are you fucking kidding
Whoa, I made it out that prison
Took that target off my back and aimed it at the system
Made it out the piss remix to ignition
Bought some real state Tyrone Biggums
They outsource the jobs instead of promoting from within and
Doyon is cool Wu Tang is for the children
Y'all can believe in shareholder hire
But what color is every Rig Supervisor

Falling, fading (the answer is white)
Down, down, down I go
Falling, fading
Down, down, down, down I go
