Lyrics
(Intro)
Yeah
Look…
Late nights made the mindset different
⸻
(Verse 1)
I had cold nights, no heat in the flat
Now it’s chauffeured rides and my seat in the back
Funny how they love you when the team’s intact
But when you needed help, they was keeping it back
I seen jealousy hide behind praise
Real talk, I can see it in faces
Man switched up for the smallest of stages
Now they’re online talking loyalty daily
That’s funny to me
‘Cause I remember who was there when there was nothing to see
Now girls wanna roll ‘cause the buzz in the scene
But back then I couldn’t even cover the fee
Ironic
Now my phone ring global, my problems exotic
Still got pain I ain’t put in a project
Still got friends doing time in the process
⸻
(Hook)
It’s the nightshift
Everybody grinding through the silence
Young boys tryna turn pain into diamonds
Nobody really cares till you shining
It’s the nightshift
Late drives with my thoughts and a siren
Tryna keep calm but the world moving violent
So I move low-key and stylish
⸻
(Verse 2)
I don’t glorify nothing I seen
But I know what survival can mean
Mum stressed, bills stacked in the kitchen
Now it’s top floor views when I’m living
Still I got anxiety hidden
Success don’t erase how you’re feeling
That’s why I stay distant with women
Can’t tell if it’s love or the image
And fame’s weird
Man wanna smile in your face then hate near
Same people didn’t care when I stayed there
Now they wanna ask what my rate is
Nah
I built this brick by brick
Now the same man throwing indirects online
Can’t sit at the table I sit
⸻
(Hook)
It’s the nightshift
Everybody grinding through the silence
Young boys tryna turn pain into diamonds
Nobody really cares till you shining
It’s the nightshift
Late drives with my thoughts and a siren
Tryna keep calm but the world moving violent
So I move low-key and stylish
⸻
(Outro)
Look…
Success changes the room
Not the truth…
Yeah
Look…
