Kanye West — Spaceship

[Chorus: John Legend] I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky [Verse 1: Kanye West] If my manager insults me again I will be assaulting him After I fuck the manager up Then I'm gonna shorten the register up Let's go back, back to the Gap Look at my check, wasn't no scratch So if I stole, wasn't my fault Yeah I stole, never got caught They take me to the back and pat me Askin' me about some khakis But let some black people walk in I bet you they show off their token blackie Oh now they love Kanye Let's put him all in the front of the store So I'm on break, next to the "No Smoking" sign With a blunt in the mall Takin' my hits, writing my hits Writin' my rhymes, playin' my mind This fuckin' job can't help him So I quit, y'all welcome Y'all don't know my struggle Y'all can't match my hustle, you can't catch my hustle You can't fathom my love, dude, lock yourself in a room Doing 5 beats a day for 3 summers That's A Different World like Cree Summer's I deserve to do these numbers "The kid that made that deserves that Maybach!" So many records in my basement I'm just waiting on my spaceship [Chorus: John Legend] I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky [Verse 2: GLC] And I didn't even try to work a job Represent the mob, at the same time Thirsty on the grind, Chi state of mind Lost my momma, lost my mind Life my love, that's not mine "Why you ain't signed?" Wasn't my time Leave me alone, work for y'all Half of it's yours, half of it's mine Only one to ball, never one to fall Got to get mine, got to take mine Got a Tec-9, reach my prime Got to make these haters respect mine In the mall until 12 when my schedule had said 9 Putting them pants on shelves, waiting patiently I ask myself Where I want to go, where I want to be Life is much more than running in the streets Holla at 'Ye, hit me with the beat Put me on my feet, sound so sweet Yes I'm the same ol' G, same goatee, staying low key, nope Holler at God, "Man why'd you have to take my folks?" Hope to see Freddie G., Yusef G, love my G Rolly G, police watch me smoke my weed, count my G's Got a lot of people counting on me And I'm just trying to find my peace Should've finished school like my niece Then I finally wouldn't use my piece, blaow! (Aww, man, this pressure) [Chorus: John Legend] I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky [Verse 3: Consequence] I remember having to take the dollar cab Coming home real late at night Standing on my feet all damn day Trying to make this thing right And having one of my co-workers say "Yo, you look just like This kid I seen in an old Busta Rhymes video the other night" Well easy come, easy go, how that saying goes No more broad service, cars, and them TV shows I had all that snatched from me A&Rs and they faculties all turn their back on me And didn't want to hear a rap from me So naturally actually had to face things factually Had to be a catastrophe with the fridges staring back at me Cause nothing's there, nothing's fair I don't want to ever go back there So I won't be taking no days off 'til my spaceship takes off [Chorus: John Legend] I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky [Outro: Tony Williams] I want to fly, I want to fly I said I want my chariot to pick me up And take me, brother, for a ride
