Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aye
Turn me up
Lets get it
Lets Go
Didn't wanna watch me now that I'm poppin bitches be calling me cocky
Me and my niggas turned up in the lobby got a bad bitch beside me
Nice lil ass she built like Roxy and she be calling me papi
Hatin is a hobby Feeling like Gotti please don't try me
Might as well hit the light switch
All my diamonds shine when light hit
Blowing up like I'm ISIS
Aint no telling who I might hit
Went and spent a dollar on some sense
Now my credit giving white bitch
Ain't no sleep when you at the bottom yea all I do is work the Night Shift
Botta Bing Botta Boom
Look who stepped in the room
Cleaning up shop
Come thru sweeping ya block that mean I'm toting a broom
Big body Chevy look like a space ship I'm parkin that shit on the moon
And this just a fact Everything look better black
We don't do business with coons
You niggas iffy it's a new king in the city
You can take that like Diddy
Shawty got ass and titties throwing me the kitty
I'm only gone fuck if she pretty
All of this Envy over a couple of pennies niggas be watching ya Benjis
He turned to an op
Know that he gotta get dropped
That's an appropriate ending
Got Big stones no flint
Sitting right up under my dick
Aint wasting no time I'm tryna get rich
So why would I give af about a bitch
Same hood same clique
Meanwhile you on the fence
Making yo grandmother proud cuz you nigga love to switch
Didn't wanna watch me now that I'm poppin bitches be calling me cocky
Me and my niggas turned up in the lobby got a bad bitch beside me
Nice lil ass she built like Roxy and she be calling me papi
Hatin is a hobby Feeling like Gotti please don't try me
Might as well hit the light switch
All my diamonds shine when light hit
Blowing up like I'm ISIS
Aint no telling who I might hit
Went and spent a dollar on some sense
Now my credit giving white bitch
Ain't no sleep when you at the bottom yea all I do is work the Night Shift
Bada Boom
Bada Bing
Look who stepped in the ring
Ali shuffle in case a nigga wanna tussle you don't want war with the team
Incredible Hulk cuz I get mad money that's just the way I get green
And all of you actors get a cinematic shot I'm just directing the scene
Look at the screen name buzzing like a nat it's the return of the mack
Hit up the club get to throwing a couple stacks she get to throwing it back
Count up the money dare you try to take it from
We gone treat you like Zombie (Headache)
Lift ya spirit with the Tommy
Then it's a wrap like a mummy
Aye I got the juice It aint a fluke
Shawty got glutes I finna scoop
Bad lil foreign pitching to me knock it out the park babe Ruth
All her bottoms she want em red
All my Dollars I want em blue
Day Shift I'm in a suit
Night shift I'm in the zoo
Didn't wanna watch me now that I'm poppin bitches be calling me cocky
Me and my niggas turned up in the lobby got a bad bitch beside me
Nice lil ass she built like Roxy and she be calling me papi
Hatin is a hobby Feeling like Gotti please don't try me
Might as well hit the light switch
All my diamonds shine when light hit
Blowing up like I'm ISIS
Aint no telling who I might hit
Went and spent a dollar on some sense
Now my credit giving white bitch




Ain't no sleep when you at the bottom yea all I do is work the Night Shift
Hit up the club get to throwing a couple stacks she get to throwing it back

Overall Meaning

The song "Shift" by Z.I.P.P.O is a rap ballad in which the artist talks about his feelings for a woman who he believes is cheating on him with someone else. In the first verse, he admits to driving while drunk and thinking about the woman, blaming his impaired judgement on her. He also reveals that she is not the only person he is seeing. The chorus confirms his suspicions that she is being intimate with another man and questions whether he satisfies her needs like Z.I.P.P.O does. The second verse expresses his desire to be exclusive with the woman and to give her the attention and affection she deserves, but he is struggling to compete with the other men in her life. He ends the song by expressing his hope that she reciprocates his feelings and pleading with her to be honest with him.


One interesting fact about "Shift" is that it was released as a part of Z.I.P.P.O's "Antwon" EP in 2019. The EP also features songs such as "Cupid" and "Greener" which showcase Z.I.P.P.O's unique style of fusing rap, R&B, and electronic music. The EP was well-received critically and serves as a testament to Z.I.P.P.O's versatility as an artist.


Another interesting fact about "Shift" is that the song features a sample from the song "U Know What's Up" by Donell Jones, which was a hit single in the early 2000s. The sample is used in the chorus and adds a nostalgic element to the song.


Furthermore, many fans believe that "Shift" is autobiographical and that Z.I.P.P.O is referencing a real-life relationship experience. This has only added to the relatability and emotional impact of the song.


Line by Line Meaning

85 switchin lanes and I'm thinkin bout u
I'm driving and can't stop thinking about you


Had a little bit to drink yea I'm faded and I blame it on u
I've been drinking and feeling tipsy, and I blame it on being reminded of you


I was doing just fine 'til the moment that u texted come thru
I was doing okay until you asked me to come over


Tell me what I'm 'posed to do I'm with u but I'm not the only one u runnin to
I don't know what to do, because I'm with you but I know you're seeing other people


Does he fuck u like I fuck u make u lose control
Do you have the same intense physical and emotional connection with him as you do with me?


How we take it from the bed and end up on the floor
I remember the passionate and wild moments we shared, from the bed to the floor


Got that pussy soakin wet soon as I hit the door
I know you're turned on by me, just from the moment I arrive


If u want baby tell me don't put on a show
If you want something from me, be honest with me and don't pretend otherwise


Cuz I could do the things that u like on an everyday basis make u feel amazing
I could give you everything you want and need, every day, and make you feel incredible


Fly u out to different kinds of places time is slippin by and baby I don't wanna waste it
I want to take you on trips and experiences, because time is passing and I don't want to waste any of it with you


You deserve it all and u know that
You deserve everything you want and deserve, and you know that


But u givin all these other guys undivided attention and its hard for me to hold back
But you're giving all your attention to other guys, and it's hard for me to hold back and wait for you


So I'm on my way to u and I hope that u feel the same way now I'm on
So I'm coming to you now, and I hope you feel the same way about me
