NIGHT SHIFT Lyrics by ​shy

shy files, vol. 1

2016

[Intro]
I despise rap, I think life is too short to listen to that fucking horse shit
And I especially hate white rappers
And this ain't being racist, but god damn
I don't act Chinese or Mexican or fucking Filipino or whatever
These god damn schizophrenic pants that are too long to be short and too short to be long
And this fucking backwards baseball cap and I just wanna slap these motherfuckers
They should be thrown screaming from helicopters in front of their fucking families

[Verse 1]
I'm just her boy-toy and I sing like Roy
She don't like me then she cheat on her boy
She doesn't see me 'cause I'm in a decoy
And she doesn't like me when I'm coming so coy
I just wanna smoke on the roof like its 2015
She wanna throw a fit, she don't wanna smoke weed
Tell her, baby-girl lay out all you need, all you need
Wow, how, look at me now
Teen Ambrose in front of the crowd
Recorded in my room, neighbors said, "It's too loud"
But shit, I can't really turn that shit down
Yea, no way, no how
If I said, "ting", would they have a cow?
Imma just give a shrug, 'cause they all so smug
Why can't I just be proud?

[Chorus]
I'm wide awake on the night shift, yea
Yea, when I come through baby
I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I'm wide awake on the night shift
Yea, when I come through baby
I know you like it

[Post-Chorus]
When I clock-in for the night shift everything change
Everything change when I clock-in for the night shift
Everything change, everything change
When I clock-in to the night shift, I'm taking yo thing
Taking yo dame, taking yo name
When I clock-in to the night shift
When I clock-in to the night shift (I know you like it)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Wanna be her boyfriend, that's to the end
Keep it a hundred like 10 times 10
She don't wanna be no more than friends
I just wanna see my ass in a Benz
Singing through the hills like
To the window, to the wall, the wall, yea
We bring the album to a crescendo
And then we fall, we fall, yea
Yea, well all the miscommunication gets me nowhere (Nowhere)
She wants to go and fuck, but I don't know where
Damn, I could feel the pace of my heart rate
I could feel the bed squeaking under our weight
When you leave me, girl, it's gonna be a heartbreak
Be a heartbreak, yea

[Chorus]
I'm wide awake on the night shift, yea
Yea, when I come through baby
I know you like it
I know you like it, I know you like it
I'm wide awake on the night shift
Yea, when I come through baby
I know you like it

[Post-Chorus]
When I clock-in for the night shift everything change
Everything change when I clock-in for the night shift
Everything change, everything change
When I clock-in to the night shift, I'm taking yo thing
Taking yo dame, taking yo dame
When I clock-in to the night shift
When I clock-in to the night shift (I know you like it)

[Outro]
Girl, I'm gonna take you down on the night shift
Girl, I'm gonna take you down and you gon' like it
Girl, I'm gonna take you down on the night shift
Yuh, I know you like it

Girl, I'm gonna take you down on the night shift
Girl, I'm gonna take you down and you gon' like it
I'm gonna take you down on the night shift
Yuh, yuh, I know you like it
