Night Shift

I have been workin at night
Keepin the music alive while you sleep
I call it overtime
It could work overtime
Just wait and see
This is the night shift
Lights turn on when the night hits
I don't matter how this life hits
Ima hit back on the night shift

I always get my best ideas in the middle of the night
Layin down like half a beat and then I gotta write
On another level i don't care about the hype
If it's not the best that I can do
then they will never hear it alright
Is never what I shoot for I am aimin' out of sight
But for me just cause it's out of sight don't mean it's out of mind
Yeah walk by faith
but that doesn't mean I'm living my blind
I don't mind if they don't see me
I work in the dark to serve the light
They may call crazy
Or corny
I might be tamed
When I'm forty
But for now I'm goin for broke
And they can't pay to afford me
they couldn't try to buy me
I'm sorry not sorry
I'm workin overtime tonight
Even if you think
the sound is alarming
The night shift

I have been workin at night
Keepin the music alive while you sleep
I call it overtime
It could work overtime
Just wait and see
This is the night shift
Lights turn on when the night hits
I don't matter how this life hits
Ima hit back on the night shift

I write and rewrite
Kill the song
Make it right
Play it back
Feel the vibe
So alive
When it's right
In the night
We ignite
In the dark
See the light
Over time
It'll work
Just sit back
And relax
And enjoy the flight
Look at my speakers
Look at my mic
Feelin that freedom
Feelin that hype
I don't need drugs
Feelin this high
Workin all day
Workin all night
Workin this moment
Feelin all right
It is all good
Even the bad
Bring in the light
This is my diary
Write all down
Hearin this side of me
How does it sound
It can be tiring
Trying to slow it all down
Have my bed set and ready
But I'm wide awake
Stretch and bend my limits
In the end I either win or break
From spring to winter break
The story's always stayed the same
This music always had a way
of getting out
And that won't change
Through the things I make
Or all the people that I meet
The night is where the work
Has turned to play
On the night shift

I have been workin at night
Keepin the music alive while you sleep
I call it overtime
It could work overtime
Just wait and see
This is the night shift
Lights turn on when the night hits
I don't matter how this life hits
Ima hit back on the night shift
