the herd - salary cap lyrics
[hook 1]
if you don’t have an education – then your salary’s capped
if you were born in the wrong nation – your salary’s capped
if you don’t speak english – then your salary’s capped
if colour is an issue – than your salary’s capped
[verse 1 ozi batla]
and that’s that, you got the wrong name
like let’s say mohammed or hussain
you sent your resume but never heard back again
can’t say why for certain, they’re hiring other people
man, it seems to me this mix ain’t equal, but be cool
it looks bad if you act mad, and play into the stereotype of that man
black, white, green or whatever, you gotta know brother
they’ve got their clique together, and want to rule forever
[hook 2]
if you won’t be a pretender – then your salary’s capped
if you’re not the right gender – then your salary’s capped
[verse 2 jane tyrrell]
matter of fact, how bout we move past that
how does ability relate to my marital stat
everytime i move forward, you keep pushing me back
isn’t it time we addressed the gap
long time in the game, thought i’d paid my dues
so why my feet so sticky, i can hardly move
tough enough to find work then made more scarce
by your -ssumptions of the load i bare
you want the skirt and blouse, not the brains and the clout
i choose the ladder to the top, not two and a half mouths
god forbid, ha ha, i try for both
jump of the wheel only to find i’m broke
[hook 3]
if you blow the whistle – then your salary’s capped
take the road less travelled – then your salary’s capped
pull them up on their behaviour – then your salary’s capped
your decision to keep singing the tune
[verse 3 urthboy]
you bundled him up in the back of a van
a private security firm, one man on remand
god d-mned by the justice of the peace said he’s
too drunk for bail, put him in a cell drive him through h-ll
so they did: he died, never saw the other side
never tried and n0body guilty of any homicide
stats do not lie, innocence does not apply
with deaths in custody a fact of life, why?
[hook 3]
if you try to defend that – then your salary’s capped
if the law won’t bring a result – the salary’s capped
we know the law won’t bring a result – just salt in the wound
sign the pet-tion by singing the tune
[verse 4 ozi batla]
austerity package, and you’re back in the club
until then, well, the imf is cutting you off
on a long list of creditors and no-one’s taking haircuts
you’ll eat a sh-t sandwich until you’re f-cking squared up
fair? – nup, they’re dragging you down and not their share’s up again
muscling your leaders, pinstripe hustling
rich men with hand outs, belly up, sales down
loving small government until they need to be bailed out
[hook 1]
[verse 5 urthboy]
palestinian in palestine, they know who they’re dealing with
with a foot in their neck, treating like second cl-ss citizens
or foreign armies in afghanistan: “we will prevail!”
we’ll win the battle but surrender holding up our hand
is it cynical if it’s fact you give it that
are you another that find it difficult to live with that?
we’ll shake the sand out your hair as you come back up for air
we’ll give you a cap to wear, f-cker
[hook 4] x2
if you don’t know your rights – then your salary’s capped
if no-one’s got your back – then your salary’s capped
if you pick the wrong fight – then your salary’s capped
sign the pet-tion by singing the track
