[Verse 1]
Give me the longest shift
So I can benefit
Lord knows, I need the chips
Pray I don't lose my grip
Always down on my luck
But I do try my best
Working to get ahead
Before I end up dead
[Chorus]
I need that time and a half
I need that time and a half (Lord knows I need it)
Lord knows I need it
I need that time and a half
I need that time and a half (Lord knows I need it)
Lord knows I need it
[Verse 2]
Can barely provide for myself
Let alone somebody else
I'm always struggling
Prime example why I hate money
Can't live without it but
There is never enough
Somebody clock me in
Before I self destruct again
[Chorus]
I need that time and a half
I need that time and a half (Lord knows I need it)
Lord knows I need it
I need that time and a half (you know)
I need that time and a half (you know I need it)
Lord knows I need it
[Bridge]
And I've been praying for a raise in my future
So I can finally take a breather
Lord knows I've been praying for a raise in my future (in my future)
So I can finally take a breather, breather
I, I, I, I
Give me the longest shift
So I can benefit
Lord knows, I need the chips
Pray I don't lose my grip
Always down on my luck
But I do try my best
Working to get ahead
Before I end up dead
[Chorus]
I need that time and a half (oh, oh)
I need that time and a half (Lord knows I need it)
Lord knows I need it (I need, I need)
I need that time and a half (that time)
I need that time and a half
Lord knows I need it
Wait
I need that time and a half (oh, oh)
I need that time and a half
Lord knows I need it
I need that time and a half
I need, I need, I need, I need, need, need, need, need, need
Lord knows I need it
It
