Year of the Ox - Check 2 Check lyrics

[Verse: Lyricks] I'm always tired now cause I'm barely sleepin' It's either late studio sessions or shows over the weekend My boy and I we always shut it down like another achievement But I ask myself after every gig, like Rick, what's the meanin'? We still dreamin' while gettin' respect But still work for a check for the rent, I don't want fame I just wanna be set Jumpin' off the one-train on a Monday workin' for chump change, and see John behind the bar already like 'damn what's up J?' I see it's some rough day, he's already getting grilled Two of the nicest rappers but we know the reality's ill I dap him up like let's work harder this year, I'm stuck But it makes me feel better, my partner is here [Verse: JL] I clocked in and got the boss already all in my ear Go mop the floor, put all the empty boxes all over here It's got me nauseous cause it's better than constant stocking of shots Should be rockin' concerts a lot, and hearin' all of the cheers And I'd really hate to trip, but I'm about to go geronimo Run out the door, and stop livin' my life out so methodical But I know I can't 'cause I gotta put up the rent And the problem is my long list of problems just doesn't end And pun intended when I say that I just need a shot But I'm here dealing with these drunk motherf**ers sayin' they need a shot [Verse: Lyricks & JL] Now you see the plot, this 9 to 5 is eating me alive I realise that in real life I really need a job I'm drinkin' Sobe's doin' shoulder pops, workin' overtime SOB's know me as Mr. Adobe Photoshop I need this photo cropped, that's what I was hired for When I'm nicer than half these rappers that I'm designing fliers for You act like you bang, you write like a fighter Decided to act up, got smacked up, by a graphic designer What? You disrespected, asked if there's rapping in China Cut me some slack, that smack's a reminder You think that we can't rap? That's why we have to remind 'em, bringin' tsunami waves flow crash with the wrath of Poseidon (You know I k** right?) And I murder sh**, well let's just combine 'em, you get what I'm sayin'? (Yeah like Super Saiyan) Watch the levels get higher I got the trap set, scratch the match head, so we can start a fire Now that's lit, nah, that's it for the other side Look I'm done cuttin' limes And I don't want to make another flier, another sign I'm tired of being overlooked I just wanna shine
