The Lyrics

One of the most important skills one can have is knowing who has the best skills for which job...
Oh, I know how to delegate, just watch and see
I've memorised who here is great at whatever you need
It's okay if skills are just "swell", I know how to delegate so they'll have all the help
How to delegate so they'll have all the help

Run down, run down
Ev'rybody that I know is here today and will stay through the week for you
Won't show up, show up?
I know the perfect person to round up the lazy bastards still asleep right now, man
Run down, run down
Ev'rybody willin' to stay here real late to get this done with speed for you
They'll show up, show up
And no, it doesn't matter if "no overtime"'s okay, we'll pay that fee hands down, man

Ev'ry damn employee has a role to play
From the boss to stockholders to the intern Dave
Even that tool who shoulda be sacked yesterday
It's a job that I call "Guess who's day off's been okayed?"
Know that it's weird because he hasn't earned it but
You'd rather have him muck the whole thing up? I think not
No, no, we do not need his greedy fingers here today
And I can't wait for the call to tell him "Sorry but you've been replaced"
I've got one person locked on to come for this hot job in two days
Her interview was top-notch, she's gettin' folded in, no delays
I know what she can do and ev'ryone else too
When you've worked here a few years, you learn all this stuff
Can cover ev'ryone's weakness, we don't need that now
'Cause that's green that's lost, dropped people, stock careenin' down
And the image of our bus'ness will be ripped in half, that's not great
Worst way to be trendin', hate to flop
Gotta work, gotta work, my plan'll be great, wait
Can see that you have a perked eyebrow, I can explain
My explanation for why I'm not showin' up on the plan papers? Cinch, dude
My role is all done, all my efforts are in place

'Cause I know how to delegate, just watch and see
It's like a program made to play chess and win instantly
Looks like I slack off after? Well, I know how to delegate so they won't need my help
How to delegate so they won't need my help

Where's my paycheck?

...for some, that's their only skill. Why else is DJ Khaled a thing?
