Mic Flo - The Nightshift Revisited Lyrics

They spit it wrong & so they get it wrong
So when I spit it right, you won’t forget my song
Ya’nawhati’msaying
Ya’nawhati’msaying
My rhymes priceless so I don’t really care who’s the nicest
See me in the lab on the nightshift
Thank God who I am isn’t who I was
I remember college, chilling being super buzzed
So I didn’t go through stress man I flew above
Cuz I didn’t mind my mind trudging through the mud
The altered experience is what I grew to love
Left that behind and then I’m going to the pub
With the triple fives hearing bass blaring through the subs
Now I calmed down I done put myself through enough
The fact that I was so weak’s hella troubling
I felt stressed so I just ran to another thing
That’s puzzling cuz everything came readily
Just like the words I displayed on the melody
But they kept telling me, “That’s something that you can’t do”
Then “You can achieve anything you plan to?”
See my dreams they’d attempt to dismantle
I got mad too so I flew off the handle
It’s disrespect to think that I can’t see the disconnect
It’s only success if I don’t insurrect
Should’ve been a hellion bent on rebellion
So many things that I dreamed I would tell them
But I always did as they promised
But the price is we can never be honest
So now I sit astonished at all i’ve accomplished
In the midst of all this hypocritical nonsense
The beat is my accomplice
All my feats they doubting like Thomas
But you can’t repudiate what I do to tape when my mind’s in the fluent state
I do it to escape all the foolish hate of those tryna rule my fate
While I’m in the coolest state sipping on a pool of grapes
You do say that you drink D’usse
But I’m sipping on something with a nice bouquet
Cuz stress hits hard like Bobby Boucher
And leaves you upside down like maklube
So I’ma live life to the fullest today
Sipping that cabernet and spitting that brûlée, hot
When my mind shift on the night shift, I flip
Then my mind shift on the night shift, mic rip
When my mind shift on the night shift, wine sip
Then my mind shift on the night shift, mic rip
When my mind shift on the night shift, I flip
Then my mind shift on the night shift, mic rip
When my mind shift on the night shift, wine sip
Then my mind shift on the night shift, mic rip
They spit it wrong & so they get it wrong
But when we spit it right, you won’t forget our song
Ya’nawhati’msaying
Ya’nawhati’msaying
My rhymes priceless so I don’t really care who’s the nicest
See me in the lab on the nightshift
As I light spliffs trying to write this
And Nick tries to find the right riffs
Talking about why we’re quite pissed
Cuz ain’t much in the game like this
Real
So I use my mic like fists
Cuz you gotta swing even though you might miss
And holding a mic to me feels like bliss
It’s like a first date with a good night kiss
Ain’t much out that’s really good like this
Without hip-hop man I stood lifeless
Questioning everything but you know how life gets
When it’s not precise it’s
Real hard like moving with arthritis
So as the night lifts while birds are flightless
I write this to stay sharp as a knife gets
Cuz to me rap’s not all about how to write hits
And it’s not all about describing life’s glitz
It’s about describing life’s ups and life’s pits
& how you react when you fall off life’s cliffs
Ya’nawhati’msaying
Ya’nawhati’msaying
My rhymes priceless so I don’t really care who’s the nicest
See me in the lab on the nightshift

They spit it wrong & so they get it wrong
So when I spit it right, you won’t forget my song
Ya’nawhati’msaying
Ya’nawhati’msaying
My rhymes priceless so I don’t really care who’s the nicest
See me in the lab on the nightshift
Thank God who I am isn’t who I was
