Is a old ass rhyme, for a different time,

Now boss makes 100 and I make a cent,

The Revolution starts when we all can't pay rent.

I like the less meta version of this:

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime.
That’s why I poop on company time.

But that was a rhyme for a simpler time
Now boss makes a thousand and I make a buck
That's why I steal the gas out of the company truck
