In the Office

Less than 8 percent get the job
And out of that
3 percent of 'em sort of look like me
2 percent from the same class as me
Met 1 of 'em that could rap like me
But outside of that
It really don't feel all of that inclusive
Don't see the numbers but I hear excuses
Black plight due to micro abuses
They swept up well, huh?

Hmmm
Seems like I'm the only black person that's in this room again (wow)
John to the right, nah he not my friend (nah)
Tried to call me bro but he's not my kin
I state my ideas 'cause I know my worth (yea)
He says the same thing like I ain't spoke that first (what?)
I repeat myself yea it's petty but it's works
I rather that then someone gettin' credit for my work
Katie tries too hard, she wants us to connect
She my manager, so I do respond outta respect (yea)
She wanna know my goals and what do I expect
But I'm a simple man I'm just workin' for this check
I ain't tell her that tho that's just you-me on the low
Instead I said that I want opportunities for growth
She put me on a project that was boring at best
When I was done with it they was more than impressed
Stakeholders virtually congratulating me
I ain't lookin' for no praises but that's the way it be
Will all of my efforts get equated with exceeds
Or the highest ranking they got? We have to wait and see
I ain't gon' fret tho this the life of A-C-E
Life ain't fair you could see that blatantly
Man don't get me started, all of this gets exhausting
Fortunately after today, I'm out of office
I'm out of office
After today, I'm out of office
I'm out of office
Yea

High Grade
You with me?
Aight let's go
