Check 2 Check

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
 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
 motherfuckers sayin' they need a shot
 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 kill right?)
 And I murder shit,
 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
