Shift

Lyrics

[Intro] Three, four [Verse 1] Nobody would've ever thought Nobody would've ever guessed That I would open my mouth And fire would breathe from my chest "Now isn't she the girl that's all daisy and clover? She's so easy to work with, she's so easy to push over" And I will open up my mouth and you can whore me out 'Cause the yin, the yin is what it's about You say "art" in this business And you might as well be flogged "Justice" in this business You can look for another job But you say "money" in this business And the suited worms will craw They will take all your sweat And make another strip mall [Chorus] And it's gonna be, gonna be, gonna be tit for tat And ooh, and it's gonna be, gonna be, gonna be just fine And ooh, and it's gonna be, gonna be "How do you, how do you like that?" And ooh, look out 'cause I'm about to shift your paradigm [Verse 2] Guess I should have known Guess I should have expected You'd abuse your own family At best I'd be neglected Wasn't I baptized by fire to be brave? Or cut my teeth on the devil, didn't need you as savior And I did open up my heart and you did play me out 'Cause the yin, the yin was what it's about You said art was your business You believe in what I do Justice was as long As I made four times less than you And money was "so scarce" and your family "would starve" And we watched you drive away in fifty thousand dollar cars [Chorus] And it's gonna be, gonna be, gonna be tit for tat And ooh, and it's gonna be, gonna be, gonna be just fine Ooh, and it's gonna be, gonna be "How do you, how do you like that?" And ooh, look out 'cause I'm about to shift your paradigm [Bridge] I will keep my mouth shut and I won't say a word I will keep my mouth shut and I won't say a word I will keep my mouth shut and I won't say a word I will keep my mouth shut and I won't say a word I will keep my mouth shut and I won't say a word I will keep my mouth shut and I won't say a word I will keep my mouth shut and I won't say a word I will keep my mouth shut and I won't say a word Oh, ha ha ha ha Kick it [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Buy him a drink, little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl Buy him a drink Look out, look out, look out, look out, look out Buy him a drink, little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl Buy him a drink Look out, look out, look out, look out, look out, look out, oh Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah Look out, look out, look out, look out, look out Buy him a drink, little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl Buy him a drink Look out, look out, look out!
