And That’s How I Roll

I’m up with the sun

At work on time

Giving more than I get

I’ll hold that line

I’m no better than anyone else

I’ve made my share of mistakes

But mistakes teach you to try harder

For success you do whatever it takes

Only one way to earn your keep

Prove your worth to the boss

At week’s end

The finish line you’ll cross

Play your cards right

A surprise in your paycheck

Rewarded with a pay raise

Your smile has a deserved outlet

To a needing coworker

I’ll gladly lend a helping hand

Together we’ll get the job done

A commitment we understand

Life isn’t free

I’ll pay that toll

I’m driven by inner pride

And that’s how I roll
