[Intro]
Graveyard shift, still wide awake
Ten-star fire, no room for breaks
[Verse 1]
Clock on the wall say quarter past two
But the whole block know what we came to do
Boots by the doorway, keys in my hand
I move with a code that they understand
No borrowed crown, no borrowed name
Built this rank through the dust and flame
If you step to the line, better know your place
I carry the night with a straight-set face
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell them lock the gate, we are coming through
Every hard-earned stripe got a story too
When the low drum knocks, let the ground reply
We don't lose sleep, we multiply
[Chorus]
Graveyard shift, we run it till morning
Ten-star general, hear the warning
Raise one hand if you came from pressure
Move with the crew, make the whole room measure
Graveyard shift, no rest for the ready
Dembow heavy, keep your feet steady
From the back-room door to the front-row rail
We turn long nights into victory tales
[Verse 2]
Rain on the zinc but the plan stay dry
Small team sharp with a hawk-eye
One for the family, two for the bread
Three for the promises we never left dead
I know each corner, I know each turn
I know what it costs when the bridges burn
Still walk clean with the dust on my shoe
If I say I'm there, then I'm coming through
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell them lock the gate, we are coming through
Every hard-earned stripe got a story too
When the low drum knocks, let the ground reply
We don't lose sleep, we multiply
[Chorus]
Graveyard shift, we run it till morning
Ten-star general, hear the warning
Raise one hand if you came from pressure
Move with the crew, make the whole room measure
Graveyard shift, no rest for the ready
Dembow heavy, keep your feet steady
From the back-room door to the front-row rail
We turn long nights into victory tales
[Bridge]
Quiet now, hear the tires roll
One deep breath, keep control
No bright promise, just work we show
Plant one seed, watch the whole field grow
[Dancehall Break]
Pull up, pull up, make the bassline bend
Left side answer, right side send
Hands in the air, but your heart stay true
If the night chose us, then we follow through
[Final Chorus]
Graveyard shift, we run it till morning
Ten-star general, hear the warning
Raise one hand if you came from pressure
Move with the crew, make the whole room measure
Graveyard shift, no rest for the ready
Dembow heavy, keep your feet steady
From the back-room door to the front-row rail
We turn long nights into victory tales
[Outro]
Quarter past four, still holding the line
Graveyard shift, but the future is mine
