Last Tango

VERSE 1

See sometimes, you gotta just speak your mind
Whether it falls in line
With what the rest say or do
Stay true to what motivates you
In lieu of taking the shaft with no lube
Say my piece with warrant
Even if you interpret it as crude
Gotta a gift
And I'm a pass it through the Groove Tube or SM-7
Or whichever mic calls for projection
If I've got to take the shaft, then I'd like protection
Learned that from a sex ed lesson when I was nine
Everyone was tripping
Giggling from the mentioning
But i was tuning in
Insuring that you'd never catch me slipping
Tipping the odds in my favor
Steer clear of manipulators whispering sweet nothings
Alpha female so we're always headbutting
Tell them "there's nothing for you here"
Steer them back out into the field hunting
What you have, somebody's out there wanting...
It just ain't me!
Come harder with a better strategy
Cuz we're acting out Greek comedy & tragedy
Here I'm smiling
And you're frowning, mad at me
It's a shame your insecurities pose a conflict with my confidence
Hence, I know where I stand
And never straddle the fence
Didn't ask you for your two cents
I make enough change towards and investment in me
Personal stock like the S&P
Minus the hypocrisy, parachutes, or crash
I spot the trend ahead
And pull out my cash fast-
Familiar with the Tango?
This just might be the last...

HOOK (x 2)

Step in close
And walk with me like it's our last tango
Cuz I'm about to dip
And put an end to this show
Grandiose finale
They can see from the back row
Stay in tempo
I know it hurts to see me go

VERSE 2

I clocked in and clocked out
'til i was ready to clock a fool
From retail to the office pool
Then right on back to school
Found my niche in the midst of transition
So i put in work
In the field of education
Specifically those deviating
Like i did from under stimulation
See out here, it's a messed up situation
You have those who believe they were destined to bully & boss
Got a company handbook
But without it they're lost
Somehow common sense and ignorance gets crossed
Worker bees excelling in mediocrity
Frowning when you show some personality
Or ingenuity
Don't let them learn it's temporary
And you're inclined creatively
They'll just use their energy
To make the workplace sticky with their honey
Power plays
Protecting boss man's money
Acting funny style
Tryna cloud your day that's sunny
Misery needs company
A hot pot of coffee, and some flattery
Not defiance in an artist
Who will bring the anarchy
Push the boundaries of a routine
While work ethic supreme
I give my all
But NEVER marry to the team
No assimilating for the green
Or putting up with things
Highly frustrating...
Here's my 2 weeks notice, before I make a scene

HOOK (x 2)

Step in close
And walk with me like it's our last tango
Cuz I'm about to dip
And put an end to this show
Grandiose finale
They can see from the back row
Stay in tempo
I know it hurts to see me go
