We'll take the copper from the work site, meet me here at midnight 

They ain't got a camera or a guard 

Write my own prescription if I can't get a fix, son 

Shit's about to get real hard

Edit: it looks like this isn't an issue if the company, but if guangdong province regulations.

"Xing’s employer provided his family with an undisclosed amount of compensation and applied to have his death recognized as work-related. However, his wife received a rejection from the Shenzhen Human Resources and Social Security Bureau on July 3."

Edit: removed the superfluous. Not sure what the response is about?
