Living In the City

We take care of the tenants in the buildings where we work everyday but the owners can't seem to comprehend that we don't make enough pay as porters, handymen, supers and those who man the front doors we're just trying to survive in a city which we can no longer afford We mop their floors, walk their dogs and taxis for them we procure we fix their sinks, deal with their trash and do so much more we're not asking for a lot but what they want to give us is a crime we're just trying to live in the city of which we devote our time Born and bred New Yorkers or Immigrants from every country we work hard at our jobs and deserve decent salaries we came with a contract proposal that was justified and fair they then came back with some bull s*#t with figures from out of the air Living in the city in the midst of the struggle and strife living in the city we're just trying to build a life doing the best we can with what little we have got it's now time for the RAB Board to get up off the money pot Living in the city just raising our families living in the city with sub par salaries to the RAB Board we don't want to hear any more of your hype do the right thing or 32BJ will definitely call a strike
