Spaceship

I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit (yeah, yeah)

I wish I could (me too) buy me a spaceship and fly

Past the sky (I swear I do, GLC feel you, 'Ye, I feel you, man, uh)

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, oh, oh, oh, 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 you they show off their token blackie

Oh, now they love Kanye?

Let's put him all in the front of the store

So I'm on break next to the "No Smoking" sign

Wit a blunt in the mall

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 Summer's

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, blaow

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, oh

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, oh, oh (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 (woo)

Thirsty on the grind, Chi' state of mind

Lost my mama, 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 wanna ball, never wanna fall (ugh)

Gotta get mine, gotta take mine (ugh)

Got a Tec-9, reach my prime (ugh)

Gotta make these haters respect mine (yeah)

In the mall 'til 12:00

When my schedule had said 9:00

Putting them pants on shelves

Waiting patiently, I ask myself

Where I wanna go? Where I wanna be?

Life is much more than running in the streets

Holler at 'Ye, hit me with the beat

Put me on my feet, sounds so sweet

Yes, I'm the same ol' G, same goatee, stayin' low-key, nope

Holler at God, "Man, why'd you have to take my folks?"

Hope to see Freddie G., Yusef G, love my G, Rolly G, police watch me

Smoke my weed and count my Gs

Got a lot of people counting on me (that's right)

And I'm just tryin' to find my peace (that's right)

Should've finished school like my niece

Then I finally wouldn't use my piece, blaow

I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit (aw, man, this pressure)

I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly

Past the sky, oh

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, oh (oh, man, we gon' go through it)

I 'member having to take the dollar cab, coming home real late at night

Standing on my feet all damn day, tryna make this thing right

And havin' one of my coworkers say, "Yo, you look just like

This kid I seen in a old Busta Rhymes video the other night"

Well, easy come, easy go, how that saying goes?

No more broad service, cars and them TV shows

That all had got snatched from me, A&Rs and they faculties

All turn they back on me and didn't wanna hear a rap from me

So naturally, actually, had to face things factually (ooh)

Had to be a catastrophe, empty fridge is staring back at me

'Cause nothing's there, nothing's fair, I don't wanna ever go back there

So I won't be taking no days off 'til my spaceship takes off, bow

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, oh

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, oh, oh

I wanna fly, I wanna fly

I said I want my chariot to pick me up

And take a brother for a ride

(Heaven knows, Heaven knows)
