The Shift Lyrics by Sub-Lo

2013

Intro:
This is not what we determined (aye)
This is far from how we planned it (aye)
Trust me this was not on purpose
This is just how things had happened
Aye, aye let’s get it
Verse 1:
Welcome to my life, it’s nothing like CSI
You gonna need more than a warrant to see inside there
Uh, see all my secrets, my fears
Told me she loved me, but I read between the lines
You gonna need really good lenses to see if I care
No, that won’t make me leap out my chair
Iz from the east side
No edit, no gimmick, no revise
Didn’t grow around the everyday beast life
Coming here at 14 put me in a weird vibe
Got a full time gig up at Starbucks
Yea, but that’s only what I’m doing in the meantime
When I’m finally making money off of these songs
Only thing I’m making is a peace sign, moving on
Something about being a good thing, doesn’t automatically make it a bad thing
You know, Izzy I don’t think you’ll making it rapping
Think I give a fuck what your negative ass thinks
This right here’s like a DeJa’Vu
Cause what I’m dealing with now is like the same as the last week
Had a lot of plans, didn’t think I’d be canceling
Stayed up way to early in the am I can’t sleep, no wonder why (Ah)
Chrous:
I’m taking all this in
And it’s taking me some time
I’m witnessing the shift
From grape juice to wine
I’m taking all this in
And its taking me some time
I’m witnessing the shift
From grape juice to wine
Verse 2:
Yesterday I got a text from my sister, she told me that soon she’ll be having a baby
I thought by the time she’d be having a baby I’d already be as established as Jay-Z
The plans rearranging (aye)
What has been happening lately
We grew up different way back in the day, at our grandma’s estate when she had a few acres
And now you a victim, and planning to marry and starting your own little family in Salem
Like damn that shit crazy (damn that shit crazy)
Aye, damn that shit crazy
And I don’t want to make it about me, but I’m trying to wrap my brain around things
And try to think my way around this, feels like trying to attempt to scale a mountain
I will not complain about shit
Moving state to state on couches
Heard I’m about to be an uncle soon and I still ain’t upgrade the mattress
Pardon my delayed reaction
Time to switch the pace to fast sprint
I’m just trying to paint the canvas and be true with everything that’s happening like (aye)
Chorus:
I’m taking all this in
And it’s taking me some time
I’m witnessing the shift
From grape juice to wine
I’m taking all this in
And its taking me some time
I’m witnessing the shift
From grape juice to wine
End:
This is not what we determined (aye)
This is far from how we planned it (aye)
Trust me this was not on purpose
This is just how things had happened
Aye, aye lets get it
