about

And there I was living a completely new life. I was a wife and now, a new mother. I'd previously worked labor-intensive jobs and even overnight before, but nothing like this. As I navigated through the 4th trimester, I'd awaken in the still of the night to tend to my young. That's when I knew that I was on The Night Shift.

lyrics

Said my totem pole got an owl on it.
That's how I know I got the night shift.

Every hour. Every other hour.
Filling orders. I'm a 5 star.
Heavy lids. Sleepwalking.
Cat naps on the radar.
B12 is my only homie.
Caffeine keeps me happy.
Milky way. All we deal is white.
Zapped strength. Call it Kryptonite.

I think I'm going to lose it.
Got me some DHA. I better use it.
I ain't a zombie but when I wake up in the night, I'm dreading the things I must do.
Losing the time. It's an abduction.
Of the 4th kind. In the night sky.
Open my eyes. Lucid dreaming got me so confused, I'm awakened abruptly.

Ever since I left the scenery
I been feanin for the greenery.
Pop a pill. Called it beanie baby.
Left it all behind the mini-me.
Bigger me on to better things.
Bezel bigger. Have you checked the ring.
I ain't changed. I ain't play them games.
Still ain't jangling with the pocket change.

We on a hunt to be housing a hundred or more.
Settling down.
We building these doors.
If we don't make it, the journey was blessed in our favor
just to inspire our neighbors.
Only thing that's gonna make the community greater.
Paying forward all this knowledge and paper.
Give em-power-meant to thrive in this nation.

Solid is as it does.
If you the sh** well I'm bringing the gloves.
I'm cleaning up like I'm slugging a pub.
Injecting this disinfectant in your jug.
Foreal.
Rolling through with the carpet crew.
Hog pin like the farmers do.
Alligators in the Everglades.
Spick & span like I'm paying maids.
Taping waists like a seamstress.
Man, it stinks like the meanest.
Cinderellie, call me Cinderellie
Rags to marriage. Carriage on Pirelli's.
Filling bellies. Filling jellies. Finest of the pick in delis.
Delicacy in the kitchen steady.
Better than me. Little gifts from Heaven.
Lineage of brethren.
Wield the fist of legend.

Yea, that's how I know I got the night shift.
I said my totem pole got an owl on it.
That's how I know I got the night shift.

Where am I? Who have I become?
Faint voices on my ear drums.
Paint choices for my dear young.
Aint boisterous so my years hum.
All that. Can't stick with the past facts when you have resources.
All that. Fast track make you double back, have you changing courses.

Solid is as it does.
If you the sh** well I'm bringing the gloves.
I'm cleaning up like I'm slugging a pub.
Injecting this disinfectant in your jug.
Foreal.
Rolling through with the carpet crew.
Hog pin like the farmers do.
Alligators in the Everglades.
Spick & span like I'm paying maids.
Taping waists like a seamstress.
Man, it stinks like the meanest.
Cinderellie, call me Cinderellie
Rags to marriage. Carriage on Pirelli's.
Filling bellies. Filling jellies. Finest of the pick in delis.
