Frustrations dealing with those who,
in that office space
can't stand my place
who can't stand for me
just to be free,
think freely or act like me.
internet access restricted
supervisors all vendictive
When I first came here,
thought I was clear,
that I wanted to work here,
now what's the deal,
gonna leave son
cause I gotta keep it real
The company can't stand the idea
for them it ain't pretty
of all of us
in freedom and and unity.

Good way of tellin what its like to work in Corporate America. But dont worry bout it, just keep a cool head, and it'll all be fine. Good job writing.

Thanks guys I'm glad you liked it. This is a rap that I wrote about a corporate job I had. When I wrote this on my lunch break, I planned to quit in two weeks. Unfortunately I was fired three days after I first wrote this poem.
