In the dark dusty quarter

She's about to surrender

Eight hours seems like forever

Praying that she can carry it further.

Do this, do that, and everything

As if she's a robot not hurting

Can't blab that after all, it's tiring

'coz they pay her to do everything.

Her life is indeed in deep shit

She washed your tainted sheets

Cleaned up your mess

Yet you treated her less.

Striped with all her pride

Striped with all her pride

Broom and mop on her side

By her own, she can't decide

On their mandates, she politely abide.

Hands are as rough as unpainted wall

Bags hanging on her eyes are ready fall

Sweat continuously fall

She'll stand, on one call.

She hate it when you utter command

She hate it when you utter command

Do you have an amputated hand?

You can't do it for yourself

Even your own food you want to spoon-feed.

A lady wearing an old and rancid apron

Looking at her own reflection,

For her family, she can carry it on

With her decreasing strength as her weapon.
