I've been workin' this graveshift   And I ain't made shit   I wish I could   Buy me a spaceship and fly, past the sky      I've been workin' this graveshift   And I ain't made shit   I wish I could   Buy me a spaceship and fly, past the sky      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 got 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      Y'all don't know my struggle   Y'all can't match my hustle   You can't catch my hustle   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   Deserves that Maybach   So many records in my basement   I'm just waitin' on my spaceship      I've been workin' this graveshift   And I ain't made shit   I wish I could   Buy me a spaceship and fly, past the sky      I've been workin' this graveshift   And I ain't made shit   I wish I could   Buy me a spaceship and fly, past the sky      Man, I'm talkin' way past the sky let's go, yeah   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      Life, my love that's not mine   Why you ain't signed? Wasn't my time   Leave me alone, work for y'all   Half of it's yours, 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 till twelve   When my schedule wore headset nine   Puttin' those pants on shelves   Waitin' paitently 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 I'm the same old G, same goatee stayin' low key, nope   Holler at God, "Man 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 and count my G's      Got a lot of people countin' on me   And I'm just tryin' to find my peace   Should of finished school like my niece   Then I wouldn't finally wouldn't use my piece   Aw man, this pressure      I've been workin' this graveshift   And I ain't made shit   I wish I could   Buy me a spaceship and fly, past the sky      I've been workin' this graveshift   And I ain't made shit   I wish I could   Buy me a spaceship and fly, past the sky      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' one of my co-workers   Say, "Yo you look just like   This kid I seen in the old Busta Rhymes   Video the other night"      Well easy come, easy   Go how that sayin' goes   No more broad service   Cars, and them TV shows      And I all had that snatched from me   And all the faculties   All turn their back on me   And didn't wanna hear a rap from me      So naturally, actually   Had to face things factually   Had to be a catastrophe   With the fridgest starin' back at me      'Coz nothing's there, nothing's fair   I don't wanna ever go back there   So I won't be takin' no days off   Until my spaceship takes off      I've been workin' this graveshift   And I ain't made shit   I wish I could   Buy me a spaceship and fly, past the sky      I've been workin' this graveshift   And I ain't made shit   I wish I could   Buy me a spaceship and fly, past the sky      I wanna fly, I wanna fly   I said, "I want my chariot   To pick me up and take a brother for a ride"
