Murs - Night Shift lyrics

[Intro] Ayy, for real, though, I love my job We work, we work the night shift We work, we work the night shift We work, we work the night shift I'm up from like 6 in the morning to like We work, we work the night shift 3 in the morning We work, we work the night shift Y'all ni**as wanna take a lot of pictures and sh*t We work, we work the night shift [Verse 1] Engaged to the stage at an early age And it was years before I started getting paid For the love of the culture, the culture of love I was killing that stage, I was building my buzz I wasn't making sh*t that they would feel in the club 'Cause I wouldn't talk about all the killing and drugs Yeah, I grew up with the crips and the bloods And while they was busy screamin' out, "b*tch, I'm a thug" I was really thuggin', I was sleepin' on floors and sh*t I was sellin' dope just so I could record my sh*t Turning dirty money into studio time My family told me I was crazy, I was losing my mind, but I Stuck to the script, I was glued to the grind If I didn't know sh*t, b*tch, I knew what could rhyme Serve the su*ka MC's standin' on the street corner Kill a cold instrumental and I make the beat warmer A former introvert until I put the pen to work Until my verses started turning heads like a tennis skirt Until the minimum was ten a show or ten a verse Now I fly on planes worldwide just to get to work [Chorus] We work, we work the night shift Clock in for my shift soon as the lights hit Guaranteed to keep the mics lit One-two check and spit that hype sh*t Atmosphere, they work the night shift Rapsody, she work the night shift Graveyard shift, break of dawn Guaranteed to keep a party rockin' all night long [Verse 2] Expensive whiskey, chase it with a local beer A toast to y'all jokes, y'all just smoke and mirrors We don't rap over our vocals here Y'all ni**as can't do karaoke for y'all whole career It appears to be popular The pantomime poetry just to fill your pockets up Probably why they ain't invite me to them Summer Jams I don't take it personal, fam, I understand That's hydro next to aregeno One hit of this sh*t and they already know That Mayweather versus McGregor sh*t This a whole different sport, y'all ni**as better quit Sayin' what you do is emcee and rap Just because the words rhyme and the beat slap And it ain't generational, believe that 'Cause ni**as spit from Jaden Smith to G Rap Every era has a Ja Rule or Little Boat There's the sh*t you listen to and the sh*t you quote I don't divide the lanes, I just stay in mine And you can hear it when I hit the stage and say a rhyme [Chorus] We work, we work the night shift Clock in for my shift soon as the lights hit Guaranteed to keep the mics lit One-two check and spit that hype sh*t Tech N9ne, he work the night shift Run The Jewels, they work the night shift Graveyard shift, break of dawn Guaranteed to keep a party rockin' all night long
