LYRICS
This one is for the ladies on the nine to five grind... Corporate bullshit, nod and smile real wide... Swallowing our deep pride, dying on the inside
Open office seating, so defeating, got nowhere to hide nowhere to hide
nowhere to hide
Aside from the bathroom down the hall with the three stalls Gotta poop or cry? Keep it quiet, it’s got thin walls.
Suck it up and sit tall, lock it like a bank vault.
Never show emotion in the open or admit fault.
Then when our work lurks up into fat stacks
Pulse perking up like we gonna get a heart attack Freakin’ and we thinkin’ that we never gonna finish that Breathe a minute, relax, say the magic words:
“You need to take a beat, and then you’ll circle back.”
All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back Take a beat
Take a beat
Take a beat
Take a beat
Take a beat and circle back
Run it up the flagpole, jamming fast and furious Disrupt, update, pick it up and run with it
Loop me in, win-win, please advise, ASAP Move the needle, drill-down, amplifying impact
All the bitches talkin’ in the jargon of that work trap.
Hard fact: I’m all up on the free snacks.
Apple, Nature Valley Bar, M&M and Tic Tacs Huffing caffeine like a fiend druggin’ on crack Chugging La Croix like a frat with a twelve-pack
Sugar withdrawal make me crash and I delve back to the sad fact that I’m mad trapped
But I could never quit because I’m cash strapped.
“Where’d you get that? Love the fabric, It’s super soft.” “Oh my god, you like it? it's half off at Ann Taylor Loft”
All the workin’ bitches get our get-up at Ann Taylor Loft.
All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back Take a beat
Take a beat Take a beat Take a-
“Hey, can you sign this card real quick?” “Oh- uh, yeah....”
It’s a card for Wendy, it’s her birthday
She still came in early ‘cause it’s Thursday Later we’ll surprise her with a sheet cake Maybe that’ll placate the sinking empty feeling That she’ll deal with when she works late.
yaaaaaaaaay!
Time for a meeting. None of us are reading
the same old Powerpoint, everybody’s waiting for Dave up in this joint been like twenty minutes of small-talk till this point
“Should we loop in Carol in Miami? She might wanna listen in.” It’s another twenty minutes till Carol gets dialed in...
...Dave arrives, we begin.
“Carol, can you hear us? We lost Carol.”
“Hey I’m here! But everything is static, I’m not hearing anybody clear.”
“Maybe we should get IT?”
No one hears her, except Ben sitting near her.
“Maybe we should get IT?”
“Smart idea, Ben! Always thinking. That’s the problem-solving attitude we all should be bringing. Katie, can you ping IT?”
“But I just said- sure.”
Great! While we wait, I just want to say, let’s set a group check-in at the end of the day.
What the fuck, Dave? So we’re sitting in a pre-meeting for another meeting? Are you insane?!
But I don’t say that.
I smile and I nod and I nibble on the free snacks. Time is a flat circle and my purpose is to circle back.
All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back All the workin’ bitches take a beat and circle back Take a beat
Take a beat
Take a beat
Take a beat
Take a beat and circle back
Finally I’m home, safe from the bullshit
Brain feel like dough, mushy from the work shit Knocking out my show, pinning on my Pinterest Braless, candle lit, bean dip, wine sip--
What the fuck is all this?...
“Reply asap and include Liz.
Looping in Luke when I get this.
Take a little look and approve this.
Integrate, innovate, cultivate, ideate, bandwidth.” Fuck this shit, I can’t escape it!!
Hold up, wait a minute.
When I feel that rage, take a page from my workin’ bitches Relax, breathe a minute.
Stick ‘em with that life hack.
Write those little magic words:
“I need to take a beat and then I’ll circle back.”
“Circle Back”

Where has this anthem been for the last 13 years of my working life?!
50-something here, and I keep coming back to this week after week. This is pure genius. It triggers something deep in my brain that I can't explain, and can only satisfy it by watching it over and over. The music is addictive, and the lyrics phenomenal. Bravo Samantha Jayne, Bravo! And all you working bitches, you have an ally right here!
newly 50 here, and yup. I'm right with you
:)
Just turned 60 and I'm with all of ya. An amazing talent she is...
I don't interpret "working bitches" as gendered. Male here, and I've been a working bitch my whole life.
It's a life hack, a nice one, and it applies to anyone and everyone.
@@ShakmeteMalik Working bitches of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains!
Had to come hit the thumbs up after watching Cake
At first i thought this was satirical... But its not, its actually QUITE empowering!!!! My girlfriend works a job where she has to take people's shit all day... So i play this song for her before she leaves for work 💕
Jen Psaki brought me here........
me too ;-)
Me as well
Metoo
I just saw this. love that it’s not only true in all of its words, but the video is so complementary, too. The cinematography, everybody in dark hues, I love when she does the men’s voices, and the “ahhhhh” part of the song when she’s holding up her glass of wine before drinking. This is all around brilliant! Thank you!
Equality!!!!!!!!!! (aka special treatmenttttttt)
That MASSIVE glass of whiny bitch alcoholic who cant handle finishing work on time and makes the world wait for her whiny ass? SO BRILLIANT hahahahaha
Is this Jen Psaki theme song now?
Absolutely amazing and ON POINT. Shared with all my working ladies and we've found our new mantra, which I use almost daily....... "Take a beat and circle backkkkk!"
SORRY PAL... NOT HOW THE REAL WORLD WORKS... Quick way to get fired if your a man but as a women? hahahahaha
Equality!!!!!!!!!! (aka special treatmenttttttt)
wtf is "take a beat"?? we remixing run dmc songs and then scratch it back?!
Absolutely love this show!!! This is my favorite Quarter Century Poetry. The end @ 4:51 when Samantha pours AN ENTIRE BOTTLE OF WINE into her glass!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥 Genius!!! Pure genius!!!
Literally amazing and so beautiful!😢❤ a masterpiece
The end of this song ALWAYS gives me goosebumps... Im not sure if thats the INTENDED reaction but... It does lol
4:56 lol Loving the flavour of this Cake
this is so talented and well played. 🙏 you showed it in way like no one could. i’m blowed up. thank you for this. my mantra now
i thought this chic would have tens of thousands of subscribers by now! she's amazing!
Holy shit this is good. On so many levels. Congrats Sam and Art. You peeps are killing it!
Awesome! Just missing subtitles.. kinda hard to understand parts of it
Lyrics are now in the description :)
...i turn on Closed Captains on my Cable Box
Agreed. Thats why I watched it thrice... We used to do that back in the day when we liked something
beautiful!! Fuck yeah this what women be making!!!!!
Even though she refers to it as poetry, I think this "song" is truly awesome. I mean girl can rap. Let's call it what it is. :) And that beat is the jam and the music is beautiful and uplifting. Plus, Samantha is high-larious! Love, love, love this!
muzikluvah72 it’s spoken word! A very under appreciated genre of poetry
amazing...everything
Awesome!
adding U to my playlist too
Masterful. The new Laurie Anderson.

Have LOVED LOVED LOVED this since I 1st saw it on "Cake'.
I honestly think it's genius, Samantha Jayne!
You keep at it & GO GIRL!
Adore your creations, brain, & you!😍🤩
Anyone else repeat this on the really rough days? Today is one of those for me.
Love this! Thank you! Sharing with my "working bitches"! 😃
This so so fucking comedically underrated it's sad. I am 33 and this made me laugh about shit I actually sincerely have to keep from crying about
This is pretty great.
this video is awesome
been a while, but i keep coming back. so cool
A "retail" version of this would be so rad.
this is sick👌
This poetry is interesting but I will circle back on that.
thanks for this
I'm a fan for life
There's something addictively robotic about her performance.
As a poet she is inspiring me!
So, this isn’t Psaki related?
Women in the workplace: “I can’t do that right now, I need to take a break first.”
We need a post COVID version... Take a beat and shut off your wifi ???
yep
yeee
I love this so much
ayyyyy
GOAT
I’ll have to circle back with you on that one.
Spitting mad bars sis
fire

🤩
Keep up the great work...
😍😍😍😍

why is this on my trending list?
I love that shit like this is starting to become more mainstream. God knows it's been inappropriate to talk about for years
This song reminds me of something I heard on SYTYCD but I can't think of the name, anyone know what I'm talking about?
why on my friend playlist?
CAKE is sooo fun :)
🤧
This got COVID, it's just so sickkkk 🤧

Predictive programming? Or just programming us straight to our faces. No coincidences

ZOMG office life in your late 20s is so hard. Right ladies?
Lol you could be a in a third world country working 12 hours a day in a sweatshop for $2 a month but yeah sedentary mind numbing corporate bs is the epitome of suffering. Least youre paid a decent wage
Who is this?!!!
Who's Here From Cake?
It’s fun riiiight?
Lock your work station when you walk away from it...
Please say you are not real but only a working bitches algorithm or surveillance bot, please?
@@easyflowenergy what ever makes you feel better.
@@4mp3d that is very kind of you, but sort of ... too nice! Please, are you a real man?
@@4mp3d Yes, you are a real man, with a beard and a very deep sexy voice! So, why are you worried about an unlocked work station? Did you not see all these very sad and lonly women - just waiting to be saved from their own delusional and lonliness producing decisions! Why? Why are you worried about the data on the work station? These beautiful ladies are wasted into the wind, because nobody cares aboiut but only for data!!! Save them - please!
@@easyflowenergy wtf are you talking about? Cyber security is a thing and I don't care what chromosomes you have you should lock your workstation when you leave it. Common sense.
😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵
🙃
dude wuhh
Women in the workforce. Shouldn't need a dividing statement or canned answer to handle stress. And the answer is definitely NOT a bottle of wine.
The answer is not a bottle of wine - BUT IT IS, STAY HONEST - IT SUCKS AND IS NOT LIFE, ONLY CORPORATE IDENTITY AND SOME DOLLARS WHICH AIN'T ENOUGH
Eminem better watch out there’s a new rap QUEEN in town
Some random number texted me the link to this video. What the fuck???
🤑
hmmmm, interesting 🧐
🤷♂️
