Lyrics
9 Dead end job Working hard... Busting your butt Doing your job, They don't give you a second to yourself, You been chillin' in your room, Working on your thang, Trying to draw something or doodle, Maybe just writing some words To another tale, Maybe just smoking, inhale, exhale, Let me just get this lil somethin, Let me just get a lil time, I ain't tryin to be rude but It's a little past nine, Hey…and yes I need to let you know, it ain't nobody else, It ain't got nothing to do with you, I just need some time to myself... To myself… to myself. You know I love you to death, But I need some time to myself... To myself… to myself. You know I love you to death, But I need some time to myself... To catch my breath, Look at every step I'm taking, Along the way, uh…feel the pebbles They're breaking up under my feet, Yeah I'm still here but I wanna be leaving, Wanna be sleeping right now But I gotta wake up and take up my time, And I'm bout to go shake up the mufuckin town, I put one, I put two, I put three down, There's another hour, under my belt But is it something that I'm proud of, I shower, I'ma clean myself up, I'ma sweep all of the dust up, I'ma do me little dance and then I'ma pull my pants up! I need a little space iny heart, I need a little place to get lost, Find a little piece of the pie It ain't got nothing to do with you, But I need some time. I need some time, I need some time... With nobody else. It ain't really got nothing to do with you, But I need some time to myself... To myself… to myself. You know I love you to death, But I need some time to myself... To myself… to myself. You know I love you to death, But I need some mufuckin time to myself... Pooh aaaooh Oh no, I love you but I gotta have some time, I gotta release my mind From all these things that been going on Trying to decrease my time, I'ma speak these til I find air, I need some time to myself... To myself… to myself. To myself, I need some time to myself... No it ain't got nothing to do with you or nobody else, I just need some time, Some time to myself... Ben Hameen (v, g); RKeys (el-p); Joey Strings (b); Max (d)
Lyrics
(We on that Kurt Kurt Vonnegut...) Late night, can’t sleep, Sweating in the heat, tried counting sheep, Maybe I should sit and read, Open up the window and feel the breeze, Hoping I can find peace, Let my mind dive deep into some poetry, Meditative music, slow breathing, Stop listening to every little thing, Every single heartbeat, every word that they say, Every note that they play I’ll be trying to find it, The melodies are running up my spine it’s better if I have the room silent, Or I could just listen to some soft ambiance on the screen, Turn the lights off and be calm and serene, There’s only one way for me to be, on that Vonnegut, Waiting for the dawn to hit, waking from a dream, Day job, work away my life in vain, See my dreams just fade away, Same old thing every day, every day... Every day… work away my life in vain. Time to be working on myself, Try to be the best me I can be and then some... ‘cause I’m still young and handsome, Been through the storm, but I still stand strong, Leave me alone, that’s my new anthem, When I come home to the land I’m from, Thumb and two fingers up, Hold it down, ATL, make you wanna say wassup, All my life, Stay alive, On the grind, Day and night, All the while, Tryin’ to strive, Working on that dead-end job... (2x) Working on that dead end... on that dead-end job… dead-end job... (2x) On that dead-end job... | |||||||||||
