Letra

Cheque by cheque
Just over broke
Just over broke
Just over broke
Working that night shift
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
Working till 4 in the morning
Shift work has got me exhausted
Deprived of my sleep and I'm yawning
I shouldn't have drank all those monsters
All of this paper I'm earning
The years of my life that I forfeit
The toll on my body's enormous
Quit but I just can't afford it
Circadian rhythm is off
Slur all my words when I talk
Drunk off fatigue I should stop
But I signed up for this job
Barely got time to see family
Special moments that I can't see
Why my loved ones never ask me
Bout things that I do so they're happy
My body wants sleep but it can't win
Missing my bed this is madness
Far from productive I average
Less than the quotas they're asking
Lord I need change
I need balance for now
I'll take pillows and blankets
I feel like I owe them like Candace
But they do fine in my absence
Working that night shift
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
Working that night shift
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
Workin til four in mornin'
Took the show over from Arlo
Wasn't comin from as far though
Gave me the keys to the car
Feelin' exhausted
Half way in for a west engine
That feelin' I lost it
Driven way back to my way back bin kin
Wasn't this supposed to be a win win?
Where do I even begin-gin now
Let me take your whip for the spin spin
Great great great grand mama lookin down like wow
I ain't working more than she did did
Ain't that the way to end a tale? Pipe down
Pipe dream got me working check to check
Check never thought the oil check
Check might bounce
Where do checks go when they bounce bounce anyways
Where do checks go when they bounce bounce anyways
Anyways
Gears I'm late night shiftin'
Ain't no breaks suspension
On unpaid suspension
Should'a paid attention
Stocks that crash rear ended
Broken glass rear dented
Gas light on weird checked it
I thought this wasn't supposed to be a race track though?
Where do checks go when they bounce bounce anyways
Where do checks go when they bounce bounce anyways
Working that night shift
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
Working that night shift
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
My **** I'm tired, chewing through the wires
Couldn't get flyer, tryna make fire
Not talking bout bars, referencing shelter
All that I fell thru, working on Northside
Living on south side taking the bus
Last eight on the page, with a bag of the reefer
Cuz Friday you know we get paid
But damn am I hungry
Not trying to fumble, reach the stars like Mutombo
Cooking up like some gumbo
Cuz I work too hard to spend it all on a five-piece combo
And damn **** the price at the chicken shop went up, uh
I was just working for minimum, always given out da maximum
I put respect on the axiom, that's when my blossoms start happening
My **** da struggle is beautiful, take a break from the cubicle
Love in new ways that's unusual, and prove to you that it's doable, uh
Working that night shift
Uh, ay, oh
Working that night shift every night, every night
Working that night shift
