I was
Not yet 30
Broke and hungry
Unemployed
During the recession
Found a position
Willing to fill the void
With my foot in the door
As I took my seat
I answered everything that was asked of me
Then he asked me
Would you rather be a rock or a vegetable?
I thought he was messing with me 
But given slight pause and without missing a beat 
I said

I'd rather be a rock and not a vegetable
Someone reliable
A strong foundation
People say you're my rock

I thought my answer was right or would suffice
But to my surprise, I never heard back
Til I was sitting by the tracks
Waiting to watch the trains
And I heard the people that he hired that day
As they opened their mouths 
And started to complain saying
Massa said this, massa said that
Wouldn't even let a bitch go to the potty
And when I knew
That's who got the job instead of me I thought

I'd rather be a rock and not a vegetable 
Someone reliable
A strong foundation
People say you're my rock

Found a job, years on, I survived the recession
Held down, screwed over, never offered a promotion
And not for our betterment, or our detriment
But one of those who came and went
Was a supervisor formerly
In the company that wouldn't hire me
She couldn't be on time, claimed anxiety
And when she finally quit I knew

I'd rather be a rock and not a vegetable
Someone reliable
A strong foundation
People say you're my rock
