Night Time by Daveed Diggs
Work all day ‘till my feet get sore
Keep on working ‘till the whistle blow
Oh, when the night time come
It’s on when the night time come
Wear this mask on my face all day
Smiling like I’m loving doing what you say
Oh, but ‘till the night time come
It’s on when the night time come
So pops drives a bus for fifteen years, right
It’s at the very least the obvious cause of his tendinitis
The thinning of the hair, allergies to common fare
Contribute to the development of his cold stare
(Gangsta) Gentlemen, (listen up)
Ladies and transgressors
I appreciate the offers of all your subversive efforts
But to alleviate the scoffers and haters and other jesters
I'mma relegate myself to the more obvious F-words
Fuck this job, fuck my boss, fuck your finance
I give a fuck about these motherfuckers when I dance, so
Friday night I cut a rug like I’m weaving it
Staring at the clock waiting for five in the evening, shit
I’m leaving it immediately till Monday comes
Errybody meet me I see ya fiending to feel bass drums
We can unleash all these beasts building from biting they tongues
Take to the streets twerking on freedom and a little bit drunk
And singing…
[Hook]
Work all day ‘till my feet get sore

It’s on when the night time come
Suit it up (yup)
Who the flyest (you?)
Me I’m biased (true)
But really ain’t nobody stepping out fresh as I is (okay)
Call me Osiris (yup)
King of the living dead (right)
I been a ghost for five days now I’m reanimated (come on)
And it’s a shame
To waste so much of myself on the game
With no clear winner or empirical reason to play
Me, I’m a player
Who doesn’t have a prayer
Shielding my eyes occasionally to escape the glare
Cause that man in the mirror look filthy
I don’t really know him but I know he tryna kill me
I am not his skin so he always tryna peel me
But having him in my heart makes my warm blood chilly, feel me?
Fuck it, I’m American working class split persona
Party like a rockstar, introverted loner
Cubicle complacent but wait 'till I get on
You gon’ see a monster walking out the front door of his home
Singing…
[Hook]
Work all day ‘till my feet get sore (feet get sore)
Keep on working ‘till the whistle blow ('till that whistle blow)
Oh, when the night time come (when it coming)
It’s on when the night time come
Wear this mask on my face all day
Smiling like I’m loving doing what you say
Oh, but till the night time come
It’s on when the night time come
Ain’t really over it has just begun
We gonna be alright when the night time come
I don’t wanna think about where you from
I just wanna see your face when the night time come
Tired of tryna figure out what I might become
I just wanna sing my song when the night time come
Please don’t ask me 'bout all the songs I’ve sung
I’m just trying to get by till the night time come
[Outro: Frank from Men In Black]
You humans, when are you gonna learn that size doesn’t matter? Just cause something’s important doesn’t mean it’s not very very small
How small?
Tiny. Like the size of a marble or a jewel

Fresh From the Hood- By Daveed Diggs
Breath of fresh air from a fairly fresh place
Fresh jeans, fresh kicks, and a fresh face
Old school to these freshmen and it tastes fresh squeezed to these morning streets I be OJ
On BART listening to MP3’s of these other MC’s trying to figure how I’m different than
Better than, Flip it then
Let me be explicit and say “fuck you” anybody that ain’t Get Back specific
Not to be a hater but I feel like something greater than
Aligator face away from the game that I’m playing in
Bass-hits for these base-wits in the basement I’m basically based in this base from the bay shit
And they wanna say
That the bottoms is the bottom but I’m calling it the top
If they feel me then I got em on that Morrison
Music for this Tony I’m pursuing act a fool for your amusement and you don’t know why I do it
I do it for my town, I do it for my gouda
I do it for my favorite artists so pardon my Sula
I do it for my pupils dilated in they schools who learn to cooly talk their shit cause they been treated like manure
My family for sure, who taught me to maneuver
And said embrace your contradictions cause nothing is truer
I’d let you be the juror but you lack all the facts
Cause I’m under-represented cept for my voice on these tracks
I’m picking up the slack of a bunch of lazy ears
Thinking I’m just making noise, blood I’ve been around for years
Shaking spears, kissing babies, making peers listen lately
They say “Diggs, you on some other shit” I tell ‘em,“Maybe”
Other than what?
Other than Pac, other than Jay?
Other than B.I.G, other than Jeezy, Weezy, or Drake?
Other than say, a 40 Water although I keep my collar popped too?
Other than Keak although that is often what I rock to?
Is there anybody else you’d say this other shit too?
Am I gon be “other” whatever other shit I do?
Maybe I’m just other than famous
Maybe I just have to accept that that’s where I’ll remain
But if that’s true
It won’t be due to lack of noise making I’m a hammer these lyrics till the songs break pavement
I’m a cook these bars till the streets smell bacon
I’m a pig eating everything that’s there for the taking
I’m making these statements just to get it on the record
If you should hear it hold me to it this is not a lecture
This is more a call to anybody within earshot
That from now on like it or not this nigga Diggs is here I got
A squad that a mob
On the game at the drop
Of a dime and its time
That you all know the name
This the Get Back behind me now watch how we game
“Hi I’m Daveed Diggs and I’ve got something to say”
I’m tired of worrying whether or not you will like it
I’m tired of tripping off whether somebody gon’ buy it
I got a lot to holler, some bad, some good
Keep listening you’ll witness something (fresh from the hood)
