[Chorus: G.L.C.]
I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit,
I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly, (heavens knows) past the sky (every night, every night),
I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit,
I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly, (heavens knows) past the sky (every night, every night)
[Kanye West]
Man, man, man
If my manager insults me again I will be assaulting him,
After I fuck the manager up then I'm gonna shorten the register up,
Let's go back, back to the Gap,
Look at my check, wasn't no scratch,
So if I stole, wasn't my fault,
Yeah I stole, never get caught,
They take me to the back and pat me,
Askin' me about some khakis,
But let some black people walk in,
I bet they show off their token blackie,
Oh now they love Kanye, let's put him all in the front of the store,
Saw him on break next to the 'No Smoking' sign with a blunt and a Marl',
Takin' my hits, writin' my hits,
Writin' my rhymes, playin' my mind,
This fuckin' job can't help him,
So I quit, y'all welcome,
(heavens knows)
Y'all don't know my struggle,
Y'all can't match my hustle,
(every night)
You can't catch my hustle,
(every night)
You can't fathom my love dude,
Lock yourself in a room doin' five beats a day for three summers,
That's a different world like Cree summers,
I deserve to do these numbers,
The kid that made that, (heavens knows)
Deserves that Maybach,
So many records in my basement (every night),
I'm just waitin' on my spaceship (every night),
[Chorus]
[Consequence]
Man, I'm talkin' way past the sky,
Let's go, oh,
And I didn't even try to work a job,
Represent the mob,
At the same time thirsty on the grind,
Chi state of mind,
Lost my momma, lost my mind,
My life, my love (heavens knows) that's not mine,
Why you ain't signed?,
Wasn't my time,
Leave me alone, (every night) work for y'all,
Half of it's yours, (every night) half of it's mine,
Only one to ball,
Never one to fall,
Gotta get mine,
Gotta take mine,
Got a tech nine,
Reach my prime,
Gotta make these haters respect mine,
In the mall (heavens knows) 'til 12 when my schedule, wore headset nine,
(every night) Puttin' known ass on shelves,
Waitin' paitently (every night) I ask myself,
Where I wanna go, where I wanna be,
Life is much more than runnin' in the streets,
Holla at 'ye, hit me with the beat,
Put me on my feet,
Sound so sweet,
Yes (heavens knows) I'm the same ol' G, same goatee,
Stayin' low key, nope (every night),
Holla at God Man (every night) why'd you had to take my folks?,
Hope to see Freddy G., Yusef G,
Love my G, Rolly G,
Police watch me smoke my weed, count my G's,
Got a lot of people countin' on me (heavens knows),
And I'm just tryin' to find my peace,
(every night) Should of finished school like my niece,
Then I wouldn't (every night) finally wouldn't use my, piece, blaow,
Aw man, all this pressure,
[Chorus]
[Consequence]
I remember havin' to take the dollar cab,
Comin' home real late at night,
Standin' on my feet all damn day,
Tryin' to make this thing right,
And havin' (heavens knows) one of my co-workers say, Yo you look just like,
(every night) This kid I seen in the old Busta Rhymes, video (every night) the other night,
Well easy come, easy go,
How that sayin' goes,
No more broad service, cars, and them TV shows,
I all had that snatched from me (heavens knows),
And all the faculties all turn their back on me (every night),
And didn't wanna hear a rap from me (every night),
So naturally actually had to face things factually,
Had to be a catastrophe empty fridge starin' back at me,
Cuz nothing's there, (heaven knows) nothing's fair,
I don't wanna ever go back there,
So I won't be takin' (every night) no days off 'til my, spaceship takes off (every night),
Blaow,
[Chorus]
[G.L.C.]
I wanna fly, I wanna fly,
I said I want my chariot to pick me up,
And take me brother for a ride,
(heavens knows)
(every night)
(every night)
