[Intro]
Night shift, day shift, watch me switch up quick
Factory lights dim, that's when we begin to slip
[Verse 1]
Clock out at six, shed this workin' skin
Blue collar blues turn to gold when night kicks in
Graveyard grind got me livin' double lives
Factory floor to underground, yeah, that's my dive
Punch cards and time stamps, that's just my disguise
When darkness hits, watch this snake start to rise
Oil-stained hands turn to diamonds in the dark
From assembly line to front line after dark
[Chorus]
Snake shift, watch me shed this skin
Day job dead, new life begin
Snake shift, metamorphosis
From factory rat to midnight bliss
(Snake shift, snake shift)
[Verse 2]
Nine to five got me trapped in their machine
But after dark, I'm the king of this scene
Steel-toed boots kick off when stars appear
Different language, different walk, different gear
Boss man think he know me, nah, he blind
Can't see the venom that I keep inside
Assembly line tempo got me programmed tight
But these beats break loose when I prowl at night
[Bridge]
Conveyor belt life, but I ain't what you see
Factory lights dim, that's when I break free
(Break free, break free)
[Verse 3]
Mama worried 'bout the hours that I keep
Don't know her son's got fangs when she asleep
System trying to box me, label me right
But I'm too slick, slip through, disappear in the night
Young blood running wild through abandoned halls
Where machines once roared, now my music calls
From the bottom, watch me rise, no apologies
Factory snake turned king of these concrete streets
[Outro]
Day shift, night shift, watch me switch up quick
Snake in the system, that's how we live this shit
(Snake shift, forever)
