I've been pushed around for too long Held my own, you would surrender (Surrender now) Sanctioned to forgo as they watched me get stepped on, against my will And stand still I let them do it (Do it) I'm used to it (To it) Here's where you gonna catch my drift: You gon' relieve me of my duties Or you'll see, you'll see, you'll see, you'll see You'll see, you'll see, you'll see, you'll see (Hey!) Cast me out into the open without a rain check; that put me out of my misery I had to let the gauge slip "Old Yeller" (Yeller, ayy) Treated like a dog and now I'm fed up I got a bone to pick, you throw a stick, there must be a catch to it 'Cause I never caught a break (Naw) Yet I've stayed a pacifist (Fist) They slap my wrist, so I kneel (Kneel) Feel like pullin' a Kaepernick No one's ever come back from this A fork's in the road that's my pitch; prompted to take a stab at it Skeletons, kept 'em inside a closet Not a person that I can bond with, it's Chronicle, big fella Debt's been let up? Keep conkin' Dane DeHaan, somber, knew death was better than bondage (Ayy) All marrow, but claim I'm soft, then how 'bout you do me a solid 'cause These shifts, these shifts Forced me into doin' night shifts, night shifts 'Til I finally switched to day shifts, day shifts You can't sit on the job when you are Takin' care of grave shifts (Hey!) I'm deceased, I'm burying who's taken shape They're dead to me Once I get my shovel, you goin' under It all falls down Seems I'm cleaning up the mess that you want me to cover up Always doin' dirty work for shapeshifters, it's a gut-wrenching position When you're a "shifter" (Oh, no) [Verse 2] Thrashed by a stint without notice, lost a couple brain cells, peeped through a barrel, jitters-free I was not labeled, shaken well But I'll take blame, I've raised some hell Don't make it personal, I'm personnel, for hire I am your equalizer Robert McCall on call, y'all spread a disease that I have no vaccine for Thought I'd have you covered as if you had seen gore Difficult to conform, your Igor, encrypting codes you can't decipher Not here to give false hope; figures I am a piece of work, Wizard Creases in my shoes, on the move, collectin' coins in a wearin' suitcase Retrograde This wild-goose chase for something left to prove, the mood's range I'm at your disposal I had a proposal you turned down, well, touché But it's a done deal I'll be the one sweepin up your remains, expert in my field I've turned heel Are you not entertained yet Remember, I only do this all for a paycheck and I don't owe you anything (I had one job? You had one job) And you don't own me (You'll see) You'll see (Hey, hey, hey, hey!) I don't owe you anything And you don't own me (You'll see) You'll see (Hey, hey, hey, hey!) Dragged out, beseeching promotion, reaching the heat of the moment Worked out no kinks, but the focus is that I'm leavin', I quit Believe, con artist Only a messenger, after all, I clarify that it's sent You'll receive my incentive which under, lies an imprint I've laid the foundation Being chased by a pack of hyenas that traced my scent Since insubordination, who's been a factor for you, bends over backwards, is your benefactor, for use 'Cause those were happy times That is not my job You'll be that meme I abuse 'til it's died I am sleep deprived, but on the flip side, this is my beeline I resign Unlike Shia LaBeouf, I'm diggin' holes out of fury I look up to no one Not your caregiver, honcho, I am starin' ya in the face, darin' ya to grow a pair You can't stand this job when you are Takin' care of grave shifts (Hey!) I'm deceased, I'm burying who's taken shape They're dead to me Once I get my shovel, you goin' under It all falls down Seems I'm cleaning up the mess that you want me to cover up Always doin' dirty work for shapeshifters, it's a gut-wrenching position When you're a "shifter" (Oh, no) Or you'll see, you'll see, you'll see, you'll see (Day shift) You'll see, you'll see, you'll see, you'll see, hey! (Night shift) You'll see, you'll see, you'll see, you'll see (Grave shift) You'll see, you'll see, you'll see, you'll see, hey! (Shifter) So, make way My twist of fate fell on a conveyor belt It's payday Or you'll see (Oh), you'll see (Oh), you'll see (Oh), you'll see Or you'll see (Oh), you'll see (Oh), you'll see, you'll see (Oh) (Oh!)
