No Money, No Monday
Monday Blues: A Working Man's Anthem
Lyrics
And just a simple self employed man
Describing oneself as a simple self-employed individual.
Brains not good, so I use my hands
Emphasizing reliance on physical work due to perceived lack of intellectual prowess.
Up at the break of dawn
Starting the day early, at dawn.
I beat the local rooster to an early yawn
Being industrious, beating a rooster to waking up early.
A cup of tea to smooth the rough
Drinking tea to calm the challenges of the day.
No sugar as I'm sweet enough
Expressing self-sufficiency, claiming not to need additional sweetness.
It's alright, it pays a decent amounts
Content with the job, considering it pays well.
But that's what I thought until I checked my account
Realizing the financial reality when checking the bank account.
And I don't work for free
Asserting the need for fair compensation for work.
I don't do things for a little bit of XP
Refusing to work for minimal rewards or recognition.
We ain't shaking hands with each other
Rejecting superficial social gestures like handshakes.
We ain't shouting: Nice one, brother!
Rejecting insincere camaraderie or praise.
You think I'm joking but I'm not being funny
Emphasizing seriousness, denying humor in the situation.
I won't be turning up if you ain't got my money
Stating the refusal to work without proper payment.
No money, no Monday
Highlighting the importance of money for motivation on Mondays.
No money, no Monday
Reiterating the connection between money and the start of the week.
I didn't sign as a debt collector
Rejecting the role of a debt collector.
Through your books like an account inspector
Examining financial records with scrutiny.
I don't mean to break your neck I
Clarifying the intent is not harm but to receive what is owed.
Just want what I'm owed and expect
Expressing the expectation of fulfilling the agreed-upon obligations.
I see you taking all the payments through
Observing the reception of payments and expecting reciprocity.
I just want your end of the bargain to hold true
Insisting on the other party keeping their end of the deal.
I put my invoice into your inbox
Submitting an invoice for payment.
So I want my money no more, no less
Demanding the exact amount owed, not more or less.
Put the transfer into your outbox
Requesting the transfer of money promptly.
Make it rain in my account instead.
Expecting financial compensation for services rendered.
