MayDay!
featuring Cee-Lo & DJ Craze
It’s just the same shit different day
We pretend to work while they pretend to pay.
Daydreamin’ all day after day,
Every minute, every hour, that I’m spending awake.
Same old. Same old.
(Repeat)
Big city bright lights
Every night roll the dice.
Alley cat, walk the strip, lookin for some dynamite.
Dirty streets, heroin chic, knuckleheaded types.
See the beast tryin to get fed on gangster look-alikes.
Moons full wonderful,
The way the city glows,
Walkin past wannabees frontin like they ain’t really broke.
Out of towners spending their cash trying to forget their homes,
Imitating some lifestyle seen on a video.
Living the dream’s getting harder as I sleep
So I stay awake blunted pounding the concrete.
1-2, you with me?
Cuz radio don’t get me yo my demographics are graphic and labeled risky.
Week nights, I notice carry certain kind of vibes,
Locals and connections get connected wined and dined.
Weekends, the scene continues but the crowd’ll change,
9-5ers blowin they’re checks, washing the week away.
Make it crunk, make it bump, cause im in a rut
Get me drunk, Monday come hopefully I’m numb.
Getting funds never as fun as when your spending em’
Hopefully I’m broke as hell when the grim reaper come.
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
It’s just the same shit different day
We pretend to work while they pretend to pay.
Daydreamin’ all day after day,
Every minute, every hour, that I’m spending awake.
Same old. Same old.
Let’s get buck, raise em’ up before the night is up.
Speakers blast, people dance, time to have some fun.
Get some ass, have a laugh, watch the sun come up.
Make it last cause tommorow’s back to offices.
Huh…That’s right, that’s right, that’s right,
All I wanna do is take a load off tonight get high. 2x
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
It’s just the same shit different day
We pretend to work while they pretend to pay.
Daydreamin’ all day after day,
Every minute, every hour, that I’m spending awake.
Same old. Same old.
I used to wake up in the morning and hop on the express.
Yellow line Q, headed towards a job with a desk,
Workin for cheques, walkin asleep, dreaming concepts.
Zombie rushin to get a seat before the train jets.
Pack em in’,
Nice and tight headed downtown to fight,
Any and everyone that step in front of my 9-5.
Get it right, clock em’ in homie yo that’s what happenin’.
Maybe I’m just a robot functioning off of oxygen.
My daddy told me it’s routine
Feelin a little stuck when you ain’t livin your dreams,
Right now it seems there’s no escape
Feelin so outta place
Got caught in the system on some matrix database.
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
It’s just the same shit different day
We pretend to work while they pretend to pay.
Daydreamin’ all day after day,
Every minute, every hour, that I’m spending awake.
