A job for two years
A mistake for two days,
Deppression for life,
Fired by a boss who's two faced.
While I worked hard,
I watched others sit back and watch,
While I did not only my job,
but my partners too.
But because he's a guy,
And the biggest a$$ kisser to the boss,
With her around,
The losers job will never be lost.
He slacks everyday.
I slacked for two,
Because life was bearing down on me,
I did the best I could do.
Now just to make things clear,
I'm not mad that I got fired for doing things wrong,
I'm just mad that out of everyone,
I'm the only one gone.
