Hamster Wheel

[Intro (Spoken)] I see ya, yeah, I see ya See, I'm lookin' right at you, with eye-contact you See me, and I'ma be me, uh First, I'm sayin' "Hi", then I'm wavin' Bye-bye We get in, we get in Girl, you're so fly, you're so fly [Verse 1] Yo, these swallows is horny as Charlie Parker Be cutting 'em 'cause I'm studying these birds like ornithology Follow 'em when they tweeting, holler instead of speaking Give it a name, she played the wicked games every weekend Broke up with a dude for almost ending her life Came over for the closure, ended up spending the night Got cozy in this apartment, wine bottles started popping Put scratches up on his back, they questioning where he got them Forgot it was her, she Freddy, her fingers was like machetes The fucking was so steady, she shredded him like confetti Confronted him 'bout every single chick, she's like "enough already I need to be with someone else, this stuff is so petty" She was reacting to things he did in the past This nigga was no saint, he couldn't say no to ass Her behavior so rash, she gave up all her power He put her out on the street, nowhere to live, nowhere to shower How she gonna make it through the night? How she's so accepting of her station in life? [Hook] She always carrying a baby with her Her spitting image just like looking at her baby pictures Her fate is sealed 'cause she dependent on a man, for real How she running these streets but always standing still? She need to get up off the hamster wheel She need to get up off the hamster wheel How she running the streets but still standing still? She need to get up off the hamster wheel She need to get up off the hamster wheel [Verse 2] Battery in the back, popping up with the coppertop Popular with the ass of the Hottentot Niggas whooping and hollering at Andromeda when she passing the barber shop Only job that's an option: McDonalds or telemarketer Hard for her making ends come together, this ain't the Beatles She needing some anesthesia like she going under needles She doing so much cutting, it's a wonder she bleeding The money was so seductive, no wonder she ain't leaving First time she felt like a woman was when a dude screamed "Nice ass!" out the car window driving past Nobody showed her how to live so all she do is dream They call her Rocky 'cause her makeup is like a mask Find scars permanently lodged on her frontal lobe Behind bars for credit card schemes she pulled a month ago First she getting high, now we waving bye-bye She's waiting out her station just the same As she's waiting at the station late at night for a train that never came [Hook]
