Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
Clock hits six, I drag my boots,
Another day payin’ someone else’s dues.
Boss man smilin’, never says a thing,
While I'm breakin' backs for his golden ring.
I see 'em stand while I sweat and strain,
They talk like kings while I bear the pain.
If this is teamwork, then I’ve been played—
I'm done being quiet, I ain’t afraid.
[Chorus]
I won’t carry what ain’t mine to hold,
I’m burnin’ out while they strike gold.
No more silence, no more shame,
If I go down, I'm naming names.
Yeah, I’ll work with pride, but not for free,
Ain’t my weight to carry, let 'em see.
[Verse 2]
They clock in late, and leave real soon,
While I’m mopin' sweat in the heat of noon.
I gave my all, they gave their shrug,
I got calloused hands, they got cushy rugs.
Ain’t no justice in this steel and dirt,
When slackers laugh while I drown in work.
If rising up makes me the fool,
Then I’ll be the rebel who rewrites the rules.
[Chorus]
I won’t carry what ain’t mine to hold,
I’m burnin’ out while they strike gold.
No more silence, no more shame,
If I go down, I'm naming names.
Yeah, I’ll work with pride, but not for free,
Ain’t my weight to carry, let 'em see.
[Bridge]
Let the lazy feel the load for once,
Let ‘em sweat, let ‘em taste the punch.
I ain’t your mule, I ain’t your pawn,
The game's been rigged for way too long.
[Final Chorus]
I won’t carry what ain’t mine to hold,
You want a hero? Hire one bold.
This ain't rebellion, it’s what’s fair—
I’ll leave your burden in your chair.
Yeah, I’ll walk with pride, and finally free,
Ain’t my weight to carry—
Let it be.
