It's all about that base. Pay more = Staff stay more.

Because you know, I’m all about that base ‘bout that base, no struggle.

I’m all about that base ‘bout that base, no struggle. I’m all about that base ‘bout that base, no struggle.

I’m all about that base ‘bout that base.

Yeah, it’s pretty clear, I’m talking retailers here. You know the ones I mean, the minimum wage paying scene.

You want the job done right, but your just too darn tight, to pay your workers right, and stop employee flight.

You say you can’t keep staff, well now that’s just a laugh, go ahead and do the math.

If you paid staff well, then most would stay a spell, and more product sell.

Think about your training costs, and all that’s lost, cause you’re a low paying boss.

You talk about sunshine tax, with other BS quacks; you say it’s a price staff pay, if they want to stay.

Well I can tell you this; it’s them you’ll miss, when they leave your town for greener ground.

Because you know I’m all about that base ‘bout that base, no struggle.

I’m all about that base ‘bout that base, no struggle. I’m all about that base ‘bout that base, no struggle. I’m all about that base ‘bout that base.

I’m here to say, the past, is not today. I’m bringing hope and change, so you may rearrange. You see, it takes two, to make your business work; you need the customer, and the clerk.

Buck-up now and pay some more, you’ll build key staff, to run the store.

On-line sales, there growing fast, its key staff, that’ll help make your last.

Because you know, I’m all about that base ‘bout that base, no struggle

I’m all about that base ‘bout the base, no struggle. I’m all about that base ‘bout that base, no struggle.

I’m all about that base ‘bout that base.
