You come from a noble background

But you are ordered around by ex-cons.

Just because you are black and he is white

You take everything he says as right

Your brothers you treat like crap

Snitching just to kiss some ass.

The white insults you to your face,

But you smile cos the money has the final say.

Rig worker, rig worker

I may tell you this but you are not bothered

How would you when the money feeds your father, mother and brother.

You think you have won the rat race

But you are still a rat

Cos only rats win the rat race
