Maccabees - Office Politics

They're used to dealing with cats that move through feeling
Especially fear majority white especially there ostensibly where
The backbone should be empty as air that's disgraceful
That's not a model I relate to I'm grateful
I know my roots so I know the truth
But I faked you you assuming what I equate to
Thats your fault thought you had a whipping boy some play dough
Throw your weight around and control thats ok though
I'm aware the superiority complex
I'm beyond next take the power thats the context
Too much self esteem to lower myself for cream
Playing the game just to maintain the other team
I'm just trying to work and leave 8 hours and breeze
We're not family miss me with that please aggrieved
By the rat trying to lower my defense so I confide
And he'll slide to management on the side cuz he's a spy

Office politics if you give them an inch they'll take a mile
Office politics curse your back then ask why don't you smile
Office politics write you up for petty stuff to leave a trail
Office politics x or y they're both the same female or male

It's disrespect tell me what do they expect
To be treasonous and side with a knee on my brothers neck?
Never standing no waves point never landing
Never demanding just going with the flow
Uncomfortable bruised integrity but going with it though
To gain a check for fleeting money that's going with the soul
Every year we risk it be considered very vicious
Cuz I don't bear thee wishes even a simple merry christmas
But I don't celebrate and that's the cost
I make up something else to say I'm an oratory boss
Of course it's worth noting I'm devoted to empowerment I'm doting
I despise the goading it can't penetrate my coating
They're so arrogant they're floating self interest is exploding
If it's not for my benefit it's irrelevant I skip the voting
How I move is lawful whose to trust dudes is awful
I'm in with my kin I'm selective with who I choose to talk to

Office politics if you give them an inch they'll take a mile
Office politics curse your back then ask why don't you smile
Office politics write you up for petty stuff to leave a trail
Office politics x or y they're both the same female or male
