Cuff your chick

I see you, yeah, I see you over there
And you got my attention like you sick so over there
I swear, your body is so priceless
Girl, I could work you, will you let me get the night shift
The night shift, I'ma clock in
Then hit it like I'm trynna get employee of the year
I said I'll never quit, but girl you so fire
Just tell me what I gotta do to get me hired

Uhh, and I'ma take you higher
You need a background check, I got some priors
But I could work you all night
I hope you ready girl 'cause I'ma need some overtime
All right, start on the call right
Full shift, I'm never on strike
We could get the bed rockin'
You ain't seen nothin' yet, baby I just clocked in

I see you, yeah, I see you over there
And you got my attention like you sick so over there
I swear, your body is so priceless
Girl, I could work you, will you let me get the night shift
The night shift, I'ma clock in
Then it hit like I'm trynna get employee of the year
I said I'll never quit, but girl you so fire
Just tell me what I gotta do to get me hired

I'm down, for anything you into
Bring a friend, we can have a group interview
Take it off, don't worry bout' the dress code
Give you the business girl, just be professional
Uhh, just let me know
I work you out real late like a twenty-four
Yeah, no resume necessary
I'm on my job baby, you could be the secretary

I see you, yeah, I see you over there
And you got my attention like you sick so over there
I swear, your body is so priceless
Girl, I could work you, will you let me get the night shift
The night shift, I'ma clock in
Then it hit like I'm trynna get employee of the year
I said I'll never quit, but girl you so fire
Just tell me what I gotta do to get me hired

Call me, twenty-four hours girl I'm open
And I'ma get in it like I'm trynna get a bonus
Ah, I'm trynna get up on it
All night, you gon' call off in the morning
In the morning...
You gon' have to call off in the morning
'Cause I'ma have you so tired
Clean the desk like you just got fired

I see you, yeah, I see you over there
And you got my attention like you sick so over there
I swear, your body is so priceless
Girl, I could work you, will you let me get the night shift
The night shift, I'ma clock in
Then it hit like I'm trynna get employee of the year




I said I'll never quit, but girl you so fire
Just tell me what I gotta do to get me hired

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kid Ink's "Nightshift" portray a man being seduced by a woman with an irresistible body, compared to a valuable and priceless asset. The man is willing to put in the work, comparing his sexual performance to a night shift job, promising to do his best to earn the "employee of the year" title. He suggests that he has prior experience but doesn't really care how professional the interaction is as long as he can satisfy her. The line "Clean the desk like you just got fired" suggests that the experience will leave her exhausted and unable to work.


The song portrays a common theme in Kid Ink's music - relationships and sexual encounters with women. The lyrics are explicit and suggestive, with references to sexual positions and the idea of working to please a partner. The central metaphor of comparing sexual pleasure to a night shift job adds a unique spin to the typical relationship song, but the objectification of women in the lyrics is still concerning.
