brandon carter - shifter lyrics

[intro]
i’ve been pushed around for too long
held my own, you would surrender (surrender now)
sanctioned to forgo as they watched me get stepped on against my will
and stand still
i let them do it (do it), i’m used to it (to it)
here’s where you gonna catch my drift:
you gon’ relieve me of my duties
or you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see
you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see (hey!)

[verse 1]
cast me out into the open without a rain check; that put me out of my misery
i had to let the gauge slip
old yeller (yella’, ayy)
treated like a dog and now i’m fed up
i got a bone to pick, you throw a stick, there must be a catch to it
’cause i never caught a break (naw), yet i’ve stayed a pacifist (fist)
they slap my wrist, so i kneel (kneel), feel like pullin’ a kaepernick
no one’s ever come back from this
a fork’s in the road that’s my pitch; prompted to take a stab at it
skeletons, kept ’em inside a closet
not a person that i can bond with, it’s chronicle, big fella, debt’s been let up? keep conking
dane dehaan, somber, knew death was better than bondage
all marrow, but claim i’m soft then how ’bout you do me a solid ’cause—

[pre-chorus]
these shifts, these shifts
forced me into doin’ night shifts, night shifts
’til i finally switched to day shifts, day shifts
you can’t sit on the job when you are

[chorus]
takin’ care of grave shifts (hey!)
i’m deceased, i’m burying who’s taken shape
they’re dead to me
once i get my shovel, you goin’ under
it all falls down
seems, i’m cleaning up the mess that you want me to cover up
always doin’ dirty work for shapeshifters, it’s a gut-wrenching position
when you’re a “shifter” (oh no)

[verse 2]
thrashed by a stint without notice, lost a couple brain cells, peeped through a barrel, jitters-free;
i was not labeled, shaken well, but i’ll take blame, i’ve raised some h-ll
don’t make it personal, i’m personnel, for hire
i am your equalizer
robert mccall on call, y’all spread a disease that i have no vaccine for
thought i’d have you covered as if you had seen gore
difficult to conform, your igor, encrypting codes you can’t decipher, not here to give false hope; figures, i am a piece of work, wizard
creases in my shoes, on the move, collectin’ coins in a wearin’ suitcase, retrograde
this wild-goose chase for something left to prove, the mood’s range
i’m at your disposal
i had a proposal you turned down, well, touché, but it’s a done deal
i’ll be the one sweepin up your remains, expert in my field, i’ve turned heel
are you not entertained yet?
remember, i only do this all for a paycheck and—

[bridge]
i don’t owe you anything (i had one job? you had one job)
and you don’t own me (you’ll see)
you’ll see (hey, hey, hey, hey!)
i don’t owe you anything
and you don’t own me (you’ll see)
you’ll see (hey, hey, hey, hey!)

[verse 3]
dragged out, beseeching promotion, reaching the heat of the moment, worked out no kinks, but the focus is that i’m leavin’, i quit
believe, con artist
only a messenger, after all, i clarify that it’s sent
you’ll receive my incentive which under, lies an imprint
i’ve laid the foundation
being chased by a pack of hyenas that traced my scent
since insubordination, who’s been a factor for you, bends over backwards; is your benefactor, for use?
’cause those were happy times
that is not my job
you’ll be that meme i abuse ’til it’s died
i am sleep deprived, but on the flip side, this is my beeline, i resign
unlike shia labeouf, i’m diggin’ holes out of fury
i look up to no one
not your caregiver, honcho, i am staring ya’ in the face, daring ya’ to grow a pair!

[pre-chorus]
you can’t stand this job when you are—

[outro]
or you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see (day shift)
you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see, hey! (night shift)
or you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see (grave shift)
you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see, you’ll see, hey! (shifter)
so make way, my twist of fate fell on a conveyor belt, it’s payday
or you’ll see (oh), you’ll see (oh), you’ll see (oh), you’ll see
or you’ll see (oh), you’ll see (oh), you’ll see, you’ll see (oh)
