Spaceship

Lyrics

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)
