lirik lagu bumps inf - the waitress (interlude)
[verse]
i act like i don’t hear it, but i do
it’s my alarm ringin’, all i’m thinkin’ is “hit snooze”
but i can’t afford to, ’cause the minute that i do
time is money and it’s not an extra shift that i can lose
yesterday i closed, went in in the afternoon
and got another shift this mornin’, so i’m goin’ back in soon
no energy, i just grit my t~~th and power through
livin’ isn’t cheap, and in a week, the rent is probably due
so i jump up in a panic ’cause of things i got to do
drop the babies off at daycare, get the kids up off to school
this ain’t the type of life i mean that i would choose
but as a single mom, i’m just tryna do what i can do (what i can do)
i’m sure there’s others in conditions that are worse
but bеfore i leave, man, i grab my apr~n and my shirt (apr~n and my shirt)
i’m ’bout to catch thе bus, just to make it into work
at this cafe and diner where i waitress at and serve
on my way in, yeah, i see a lot of things
but you know, it’s kind of hard to find a decent job that pays
even though the area that we in not is safe
just last week, a girl that works with me had gotten raped
uh, to make it worse, i heard the creep had got away
ayo, just hearin’ that makes me uneasy, by the way (by the way)
huh, ’cause as a waitress, at least fifty times a day
i get people hittin’ on me, yo, but we cannot display
how it makes us feel, ’cause, yo, they leave it out our pay
and those tips is the one thing i got to lean on now to make
uh, so excuse me if you see a smile that’s fake
just add it to the list of all the things i tolerate (that i tolerate)
like even now, this guy, i see him every morning
this rude homeless dude who always thinks that i ignore him
just ’cause he don’t leave a tip, nah, that ain’t even it
and i don’t want to come across as mean, but yo, the thing is this:
the way he smells, yeah, regardless of where he’d sits
other customers immediately grab their things and dip
half the time, they don’t even finish eatin’
and they don’t say it, but i know the reason that they leavin’
he be holdin’ up the restroom for hours at a time
when n0body else can use it, ’cause he locks it from beyond
it’s a lot of things, i know you could probably combine
but if i’m honest, yo, the thing that most bothers me is i’m
not positive, but his face, a lot of it reminds
me of that composite sketch that they got up on the sign
the one the cops had did, you know, the monster from the crime
who had raped my co~worker, the one cops still tryna find? (tryna find)
yeah, i’m not confident, but i would just be lyin’
if i said that wasn’t somethin’ that i don’t think about at times
and i know that pretty soon, that you’ll be out my hair
at least till tomorrow, but we can figure it out from there (figure it out from there)
