Inspired by: Daydreaming during your shitty food service/retail jobs.
This is one of the oldest songs on the EP. I made this beat when I first got Logic. I was just fucking around, and I found a synthline that reminding me of some fucked up, gritty El-P shit. At the time, I was working in a shitty food service job, and this song is about romanticizing about doing some cooler shit before waking up and having to go back to work. I reached out to Top $ Raz through the FTRSNDMTRX crew. He dug the concept and had a dope verse in my inbox like a week later. He killed his verse. He sounds like Redman on this track, and that's dope as fuck to me.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
A dirty breeze from the north, the cold weather is here
Ash the square off the porch, I’ll do better this year
Cuz if I do this any worse, they gon take me in a hearse
Well before any friends or family will hear
About my demise, lets work a compromise
It’s time, put that yes sir and humility behind
All the problems I’ve accosted, way too many losses
Way too much nonsense from way too many bosses
Waking up nauseous, motherfuck I lost it
Pack my bags in the autumn now I’m ready the fall hit
Did doubles in July, was exhausted in August
Workin harder than all of yall, why I still ain’t got shit
I’m about to flip it over, colder in October
These wages ain’t gonna make old girl wish she never left you
I’m campin in a vestibule, halls you went through
Chapped lips, callused fingers, man all this shit I been due
Approaching a door, wipe the feet on floor
Enter with the confidence, like yeah I been here before
Time to extort, I ain’t afraid to use force, of course
Mask on my face, they got nothing to report
Made a dash, got away, fled the building in silence
Grab the bag, peep inside, walked away smiling
And that’s just where my mind went, sitting in this cursed room
Finish up this day dream, cuz I gotta get back to work soon
