Intro 1

Verse 1
Bm 
 (B minor) I work
Em 
my fingers to  (E minor) the bone
My elbow grease heaps
C 
 (C major) Benefits get reaped,
Bm 
I keep  (B minor) talk to a minimum
Em 
Props  (E minor) are never rendered on my own
C 
I'm my master,  (C major) sellin' tapes for cash
Bm 
Fuck  (B minor) the middle- man bastards,
Em 
though  (E minor) 
It've been faster to take that route
C 
I'm ob (C major) servant, those who didn't
Bm 
Thats un (B minor) fortunate how it
Em 
turned out (E minor) 
I learned early that beatin'
C 
fools is a worldly  (C major) trade
Bm 
Man how you gonna  (B minor) profit off
Em 
the music that I  (E minor) make
C'mon now,
I'll trade you for somthin' equal
C 
But  (C major) robbing artists blind isn't
Bm 
 (B minor) the way to be treatin' people
Em 
An (E minor) d,  I can see that its
gonna take some sweat
C 
 (C major) But perseverance plus the
Bm 
 (B minor) talent forms a weapon,
Em 
And,  (E minor) we steppin' in fresher this year
Objects in the rear view are closer
than they appear
C 
 (C major)

Verse 2

[Chorus:]

It's a give and take

What you're given's what

they take

There's no leftovers

Only scraps on the plate [x2]

Give me a break, what

Verse 3
Em 
 (E minor) 
do they have to pay for?
C 
 (C major) The energies from earth, what
Bm 
do  (B minor) they own that to?
Em 
 (E minor) A slew of bills fill my mailbox on the month
C 
Bm 
 (C major) The numbers stump me like  (B minor) math
Em 
I gotta  (E minor) pay to take a bath, what?
Pay to see my ass
C 
Bm 
And  (C major) pay for them to  (B minor) haul away
Em 
the  (E minor) trash when it's full
Pay to heat my food
Bm 
Em 
And  (B minor) pay to watch  (E minor) the tube,
And if I don't have cable there's
no channels for me to flip
And that's more grip,
and if you're poor, shit
C 
Bm 
 (C major) They only give a few ex (B minor) tensions
Em 
Di (E minor) mensions of the plot run thick
C 
Pretty  (C major) soon we'll pay for air when
Bm 
they  (B minor) figure out how to sell it
Em 
 (E minor) Tell it like you know it and everybody
wants to laugh
C 
Probably  (C major) never hear the truth
