(Verse 1)
Overnight shift, back’s getting quite stiff
12 hours standing day dreamin’ bout the mic grip
Might flip out on a customer with a bitch slap
Eavesdropping stalling by the water cooler chit chat
Forced laughs, stupid jokes, poorly acted movie quotes
Anything to serve as a distraction cause we’re losing hope
Same radio playlist on repeat
Thanksgiving break flew by, Christmas vacation was brief
Feels like I never left this delusional time warp
Deja Vu’s all I’m finding it’s confusing my mind more
As most employees grow emotionally cold
And could care less if a product’s getting stolen or sold
So I gotta take a break cause I’m in need of it heavy
Only 10 minutes to go, can feel the freedom already
So I grab the paper, sign my name in haste and aggressive nature
I’m leaving dead on the dot and never a second later
(Chorus)
I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs
Like the second my shift ends, my real life starts
So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse
Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work
I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs
It’s like the second my shift ends, my real life starts
So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse
Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work
(Verse 2)
Ayo it’s lunch break, 30 minutes off the time card
Time starts, power walk in-between and behind cars
Mind sparks lines from a verse as I rhyme bars
Find car, engine starts, revving tryna drive parked
Overanxious for the fatty that’s waiting
Acting impatient for a drag man I can practically taste it
So for now I got this dutch I’m bout to gut for my therapy
Pack the Bresey with some Sheesh and rip the blunt while it’s cherry
Observant and very conservative puffin’ the ganj'
Below par roller, I ain’t got the touch to refine
So I’m conscious of all of the falling nug out the side
Scanning the floor for any remanence of crumbs I can find
Searching for a lighter and that’s when I stumble upon
A Matty Beats instrumental CD then I vibe
Eager to rhyme, blasting beats leaning back in my ride
As Zoo hops in with some matches from the passenger’s side
(Chorus)
I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs
It’s like the second my shift ends, my real life starts
So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse
Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work
I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs
It’s like the second my shift ends, my real life starts
So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse
Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work
(Zoo’s Verse)
Sittin’ leaned back, shotty in the Cadillac
Rat-a-tat-Tat on the dash with a Dutch Master pack
On my lap, nugs of kush broken up on Illmatic
Throw it all in the dutch with the precision of Greg Maddox
Smokin’ that stash that I hid in my addict
Now I’m on a magic carpet ride with Aladdin and Static
Left depression and stress on the ground right next to dramatics
There is no room for reality in scenes so cinematic
Inhale the medicinal, all plants are Biblical
If God created weed how does smoking make me a criminal?
It doesn’t make much sense to live check to check
Only to be a broke emotional wreck that’s in debt
Jay-Z said a 9 to 5 is how to survive
Me? I’m not tryna survive, I’m striving to thrive
While I’m on this Earth and still alive
I’m grind till the exact second that the reaper arrives
(Chorus)
I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs
It’s like the second my shift ends, my real life starts
So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse
Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work
I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs
It’s like the second my shift ends, my real life starts
So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse
Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work
