Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a tuesday
Wine glass full of whiskey, it get risky
Dip in my spaceship
We can face lift
Take this, novacane it
Numb my pain it
Take a night out
Feelin' numb now
Called out, don't call my phone now
I'm on the night shift
Lights out, we hunnid proof now
We bring the house down, down, down
Who let them demons out
It's been a minute since I seen yo face
Flashbacks when i'm on the night shift
One more hour and i'm done
Interstate feel like a raceway
Tank on E hit the raceway
Can I put 10 on pump 10
20 away from my friends
Got enough in just to make it
Phone buzzin' through my pockets
The night went up like a rocket
Anything you do i'm beside it
If we die at the end of the night and
To live or to die by the night shift
My ride or die by my side and
Made the whole night worth riding
Doze off to chanel number 9
Choosing, I been choosing
On a tuesday
Wine glass full of whiskey, it get risky
Dip in my spaceship
We can face lift
Take this, novacane it
Numb my pain it
We gon' ride out
Take a night out
Feelin' numb now
Called out, don't call my phone now
I'm on the night shift
Lights out, we hunnid proof now
We bring the house down, down, down
Who let them demons out
Ayo can you pass me the E&J
Ayo boris what's yo ETA
Pray tonight that I don't see my grave
But if I do it's cool don't gotta work today
Hit a thickum with a stick and dip
And she was trippin' cause I didn't wanna stay
I'm just here for a good time
Not a long time had a long day
Low riding with a couple partners
Ain't no role models in the whip
Rubber burning with the tables turning
With a goddess sitting on my hip
Top down with surround sound
So you know I gotta let it thump
Phone ringing, either God or my job calling
But I ain't pickin' up
Choosing, I been choosing
On a tuesday
Wine glass full of whiskey, it get risky
Dip in my spaceship
We can face lift
Take this, novacane it
Numb my pain it
We gon' ride out
Take a night out
Feelin' numb now
Called out, don't call my phone now
I'm on the night shift
Lights out, we hunnid proof now
We bring the house down, down, down
Who let them demons out
Night fall, might call one of the homies
To see what we on
Night crawl, might fall in love with a body
It's leading me on
Stuck on my mind
I give her all of my time
Night shift, I been stuck on my grind
And that's all for the dough though
Might just be better off dolo
Eyes steady piercing my soul though, aye
(Run!)
Running from all of my problems
Hoping that somebody solve 'em
(Son!)
Sonning these rappers like carlton
Ooo boy i'm feeling myself
I've been looking for life
Searching the bottom of bottles
I'm blitzed but i'm moving with stealth
No i'm looking for you
Mind is racing, i'm off topic
This love just ain't good for my health, look
Boris swerving to the function
Liquor out the window
I've been going mental
Rob been tripping, he can't function
Accidental, might just crash and get a rental, renovated
Aye, sorry the bottle talking
Don't worry we off it often
But tell 'em proceed with caution
Getting caught up ain't a option
On 95 and yeah we cruisin'
Getting blurry and confusing
Top down it's amusing
Know it's tuesday and we choosin'
The lyrics to IIIDAZE's song Night Shift tell a story about a night out with friends. The singer chooses to indulge in alcohol and drugs to numb their pain and escape their problems for a night. They reminisce about past memories with their friends, flirt with women, and have a good time, hoping to forget their stress and responsibilities. However, amidst the fun, the singer is haunted by thoughts of their problems and mortality. They contemplate the choices they have made and wonder if they are living life to the fullest, or if they are wasting it on trivial pleasures. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, as the singer acknowledges the dangers of their lifestyle, but continues to choose it regardless.
The lyrics to Night Shift explore themes of escapism, mortality, and self-reflection. The song portrays the allure of reckless behavior as a means of temporary relief from the stresses of life. The lyrics convey a sense of ambivalence towards this lifestyle, acknowledging its dangers while still indulging in it. The references to car racing and drug use further emphasize the theme of risk-taking and thrill-seeking.
Line by Line Meaning
Choosing, I been choosing
I have been making choices
On a tuesday
It is a Tuesday
Wine glass full of whiskey, it get risky
Drinking whiskey out of a wine glass can be dangerous
Dip in my spaceship
Getting into my car
We can face lift
We can overcome our challenges
Take this, novacane it
Take this painkiller
Numb my pain it
Make my pain go away
We gon' ride out
We are going to drive around
Take a night out
Spend the night outside
Feelin' numb now
Feeling emotionally detached
Called out, don't call my phone now
Do not try to contact me now
I'm on the night shift
I am working at night
Lights out, we hunnid proof now
Intoxicated
We bring the house down, down, down
We are having a great time
Who let them demons out
We are behaving recklessly
Ayo can you pass me the E&J
Can you give me the E&J
Ayo boris what's yo ETA
Boris, what is your estimated time of arrival
Pray tonight that I don't see my grave
Hoping to stay alive
But if I do it's cool don't gotta work today
If I die, I do not have to go to work
Hit a thickum with a stick and dip
Having sex and leaving
And she was trippin' cause I didn't wanna stay
Her expectations were not aligned with mine
I'm just here for a good time
I am living for the moment
Not a long time had a long day
I have had a long day, and I need to relax
Low riding with a couple partners
Driving around with friends
Ain't no role models in the whip
We do not have any good influences around us
Rubber burning with the tables turning
We are driving recklessly
With a goddess sitting on my hip
A beautiful woman is with me
Top down with surround sound
Convertible with loud music
So you know I gotta let it thump
Turn up the bass
Phone ringing, either God or my job calling
Receiving an important phone call
But I ain't pickin' up
I am not answering
Night fall, might call one of the homies
Darkness has fallen, might call one of my friends
To see what we on
To find out what we are doing
Night crawl, might fall in love with a body
Looking for love
It's leading me on
It is causing me to become more interested
Stuck on my mind
I am thinking about it a lot
I give her all of my time
I am investing lots of time in her
Night shift, I been stuck on my grind
Working hard at night
And that's all for the dough though
Doing this for money
Might just be better off dolo
Might be better off alone
Eyes steady piercing my soul though, aye
Someone is staring at me intensely
(Run!)
Someone is telling me to run
Running from all of my problems
Avoiding my issues
Hoping that somebody solve 'em
Hoping someone helps me solve my problems
(Son!)
Someone is addressing me
Sonning these rappers like carlton
Dominating other rappers
Ooo boy i'm feeling myself
I am feeling really good
I've been looking for life
I am searching for meaning in life
Searching the bottom of bottles
Drinking to cope with my problems
I'm blitzed but i'm moving with stealth
I am drunk but not showing it
No i'm looking for you
I am looking for someone
Mind is racing, i'm off topic
My thoughts are scattered
This love just ain't good for my health, look
This relationship is not good for me
Boris swerving to the function
Boris is driving erratically to the party
Liquor out the window
Throwing out the alcohol
I've been going mental
I have been going crazy
Rob been tripping, he can't function
Rob is having trouble functioning
Accidental, might just crash and get a rental, renovated
Might accidentally crash my car and need to get a new one
Aye, sorry the bottle talking
I am speaking under the influence
Don't worry we off it often
We usually drink like this
But tell 'em proceed with caution
Warn others to be careful
Getting caught up ain't a option
Cannot get caught up in trouble
On 95 and yeah we cruisin'
Driving on the highway
Getting blurry and confusing
Vision is becoming blurry
Top down it's amusing
It is fun to have the top down
Know it's tuesday and we choosin'
We are making choices on a Tuesday
