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]
