MC the FURT

Even when I’m right, it leaves a bitter aftertaste
Moving through these aisles, trying not to let my effort waste
I don’t wanna bite the bait, I don’t wanna start a scene
But I’m reaching for the limit, if you know just what I mean
I try to let it slide, try to keep my spirit high
But you keep me at a distance like a stranger passing by
No "hello," no "good morning," just a silence in the air
Treating me like shadows, acting like I’m never there
I know the score, I know I’m not the one you want to see
But do I really deserve this much hostility?
I’m not a criminal, I get that you despise my very sight
But you don’t know that your coldness packs more force than any pistol's bite

I’m not looking for a fight, just some fairness in the light
Keep it professional, keep the peace within our sight
You’re pushing way too hard, crossing every single line
I’m just trying to do my job and keep my dignity in line
Don’t provoke the fire, don’t trigger the pain
Let’s just walk the middle ground and stop this cold rain
Just be fair, just be real
Stop breaking down the heart that you don't want to heal

I see you want me gone, want me vanished from the floor
Like I’m a ghost drifting through the pharmacy door
I hold my ethics high, I follow every single rule
While you treat our workspace like a battleground, so cruel
You listen to the whispers, you believe the campaign
Of every negative word that’s attached to my name
Does your heart ever ache? Does it ever feel the sting?
When you trample on my pride like it’s a worthless thing?
You think you’re in the right, you think it’s all okay
To throw these heavy stones across my working day
But every cold shoulder and every silent stare
Is a weight on my soul that’s getting hard to bear

I’m not looking for a fight, just some fairness in the light
Keep it professional, keep the peace within our sight
You’re pushing way too hard, crossing every single line
I’m just trying to do my job and keep my dignity in line
Don’t provoke the fire, don’t trigger the pain
Let’s just walk the middle ground and stop this cold rain
Just be fair, just be real
Stop breaking down the heart that you don't want to heal

I don’t want to argue, I don’t need us to be friends
I’m not asking for the moon or for us to make amends
But please, just be just, please, just be fair
Don’t act like I’m a virus or a poison in the air
I don’t want to get angry, I don’t want to lose my cool
I’m just playing by the book, staying loyal to the school
So stop the provocation, keep your distance, keep it calm
We don’t need to trade the damage, we don’t need to trade the harm
I’m not coming for you, I’m not playing any game
So stop setting all these matches to my reputation’s name

I’m not looking for a fight, just some fairness in the light
Keep it professional, keep the peace within our sight
You’re pushing way too hard, crossing every single line
I’m just trying to do my job and keep my dignity in line
Don’t provoke the fire, don’t trigger the pain
Let’s just walk the middle ground and stop this cold rain
Just be fair, just be real
Stop breaking down the heart that you don't want to heal
