Late Night Shift

(album: Apply Pressure - 2020)

C-Lance

Gotta work another late night shift, yeah
I been going hard with my brothers
Mama told me there'd be days like this, yeah
I been putting work in all summer
And I won't slow down, no
Gotta put on for my town, yeah
I gotta go out and get it

I swear to God I spent a long time putting work in
Witnessed the success but still remain the same person
I get so high that all these large crowds make me nervous
The shit I write is deep, you need to look beneath the surface
Yeah, I just wanna make that feelgood shit
Like when you get a bag of weed and know it's real good shit
Watch me get a hole in one, I'm Happy Gilmore, bitch
Now every album that I drop is on the Billboard, shit
They try to tell me hard work beats talent
But when you got both, there's nothing they can say, keep at it
Back then I used to think I was a young B. Rabbit
Now I'm the team captain, I can see your whole team capping
I'm on a roll, take a hit, many flavors, they're so exotic
It's crazy what I've accomplished, I'm saying I'm playing offense
I'm at the table with bosses, debating, making an offer (How much?)
You gotta love yourself, that's the only way that you'll prosper, preach

Gotta work another late night shift, yeah (Late night shift)
I been going hard with my brothers
Mama told me there'd be days like this, yeah (Days like this)
I been putting work in all summer
And I won't slow down, no
Gotta put on for my town, yeah (My town)
I gotta go out and get it

So if you wanna smoke, put your lighters in the air
If you wanna party, there's a party right here
If you wanna drink, put your cups in the sky
Now exhale slow if you in love with your life
If you wanna smoke, put your lighters in the air
If you wanna party, there's a party right here
If you wanna drink, put your cups in the sky
Now exhale slow if you in love with your life

It's like I finally found a combination to the safe
I gotta wait to board the plane, I'm on vacation to LA
I'm still the same me, what can I say? I'll never change
Tell these rappers they can't see me, so stop playing with my name
I'm saying, I just wanna make that smooth-ass shit
Like, "Holy fuck, this shit is dope, yo, how'd you do that shit?"
I drop a song and get a plaque, like, "How'd it move that quick?"
I just pulled up at the party and I'm too damn lit, shit
The sun is shining, it's something 'bout it that feels right
I'm drunk by 2 p.m., I told myself I'd have a chill night
When dreams become reality you question if it's real life
I'm just getting started, every song you hear is still light
I'll keep getting high and writing music just to kill time
Break it down, apply it into science, I'm like Bill Nye
I'm chilling by the ocean tryna get this shit in motion
Stopped looking at the past and started living in the moment, preach

Gotta work another late night shift, yeah (Late night shift)
I been going hard with my brothers
Mama told me there'd be days like this, yeah (Days like this)
I been putting work in all summer
And I won't slow down, no
Gotta put on for my town, yeah (My town)
I gotta go out and get it
