Driving Material v2

E-40
“Revenue Retrievin’: Overtime and Graveyard Shift”

Check out this free tune, My Lil Grimey N_gga!

E-40 drops his 13th and 14th albums  “Revenue Retrievin’ Day Shift” and “Revenue Retrievin’ Night Shift.” That very effort spun the Bay Area’s famed Ambassador as one of the hottest commodities in Hip-Hop with the smash hit record “Bitch” featuring  50 Cent.  Empowering a familiar cliché that states, “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it” E-40 returns with yet another two albums March 29, 2011.
Check out this evil scraper tune, "Grimey Little N_gga"

Over 5 million records sold, nationwide sold out shows, loved and respected by both seasoned rap veterans such as Snoop Dogg to entry level giants such as YG; without question E-40 continues to reign supreme.  From his unique vocabulary to his impressionable trendsetting habits, E-40 has proven to the masses he can redirect music traffic upon the release of his albums.  Exactly 20 years ago, E-40 began to generate his first fan base as a member of “The Click,” the group released an album in 1991 entitled “Down and Dirty.” The domino-effect of that album inspired major record label Jive Records to sign E-40 where they soon introduced his first solo effort “In A Major Way.”  During the course of the multi-album deal, he produced three gold albums and one platinum album while on Jive Records. 

Then In 2005, the music macgyver partnered with the everlasting King of Crunk aka Lil Jon and signed with Warner Brothers/BME. In 2006 not only did E-40 reposition himself, the Northern California music scene struck gold with the release of E-40’s “My Ghetto Report Card” which also certified Gold via the RIAA. A swift two years later, he released his last album on Warner Brothers entitled the “Ball Street Journal.” With proven successes while absorbing a wealth of knowledge over the years, E-40 simultaneously motivated his immediate offspring.

B-Legit - What We Been Doin (feat. E-40 & Ted Digtl)

Thizzle Dance Mac Dre.

This one came from the part of me that keeps smiling while doing math that does not add up. The part that knows how to pretend I am steady even when the ground feels rented by the hour. I wrote this with the same energy I use to make impossible decisions look normal. There is a strange courage in that, the quiet kind that grows in people nobody checks on.

The words circle around the pressure we carry without ever calling it by its name. The cost of existing. The way you can be strong, tired, angry and hopeful at the same time. The truth is simple: ordinary people hold this country up, and the country avoids eye contact.


Another day, another deficit.
Fine. Let’s dance through it.

Rent takes the paycheck before my hand even warms it.
Boss says “be grateful,” strange sermon from someone unsworn to hunger.
Fridge light glows on nothing, a spotlight for an empty script.
I say “we’re fine” in the tone you use when you don’t believe it.

Gas gauge hits E with a knowing little smirk.
Bank app loads slow, like even it’s tired of the math.
Bills arrive early; hope arrives late.
If this is a game, someone changed the rules mid match.

Hold your breath.
This is the place where denial used to help.
Not today.

Punch in, punch out, does the world even flinch?
Clock spins heavy, loaded like a wheel we never win.
Capital shuffle, patience in the red,
Trading tomorrow for groceries on credit.

Punch in, punch out, burnout keeps the beat.
Dancing through layoffs like it’s sacred routine.
Call it a system; I call it a threat.
Still buying hope with groceries on credit.
On credit, on credit.

Kids skip the doctor, healing’s a luxury tier now.
Breakfast becomes a game, creative cooking challenge,
hiding the truth behind my best Sunday morning voice.
Some lies are mercies; some mercies are cruel.

Meanwhile they’re mining asteroids
while I’m mining couch cushions for quarters.
One car repair away from choosing heat or food.
One sick day from the edge, tell me again how this is normal.

Dental is optional, vision is debatable,
pain is something you budget for.
I’ve earned a degree in making do.
Strange how the country leans on us,
but never leans near us.

Quiet doesn’t mean safe.
Quiet means tired.
Quiet means adapting.
They call it resilience;
I call it captivity with better lighting.

Sirens sing harmony with overdue notices.
City lights flicker like nerves about to snap.
Work till you break, that’s the hymn they hum at the top.

But I’ve broken before
and rebuilt with spite and borrowed screws,
stitched myself together from scraps they wrote off.
Stronger, cheaper, harder to erase.
Their entire margin fears that.

Punch in, punch out, does the world even flinch?
Clock spins heavy, loaded like a wheel we never win.
Capital shuffle, patience in the red,
Trading tomorrow for groceries on credit.

Punch in, punch out, burnout keeps the beat.
Dancing through layoffs like it’s sacred routine.
Call it a system; I call it a threat.
Still buying hope with groceries on credit.
On credit.
On credit.
On—

Call it the economy.
I call it theft with paperwork.
