Shifter Video (MV)

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!)
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" (Yeller, 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 conkin'
Dane DeHaan, somber
Knew death was better than bondage (Ayy)
All marrow, but claim I'm soft
Then how 'bout you do me a solid 'cause
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
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)
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 hell
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
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!)
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 backward, 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 starin' ya in the face, darin' ya to grow a pair
You can't stand this job when you are
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)
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)
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)
(Oh!)
