Overtime

Workin' overtime Why won't they notice me Dollars on the hour Not a penny for my poetry When yall go to sleep I'm at it Bagging groceries Wishing I could give you all The most of me Am I gifted? Is this really how it's supposed to be? Blowing O's As a way to cope And keep it orderly There's more to me Than what the eye can see Why? I rarely share too much of me If I choose to muse you With my music Feel my hunger See? I'm older than these younger G's Hunting dreams Hustling quicker than Russel Simmons From a chunk of meat Sucker free circle I be proud to call my family Ain't no famine boutta happen When they all watchin' ya Back for free Back to me They got me running on fumes Fire for my fuel When I'm riding with the crew Too toxic Gotta toss the bottle of brew Keep it green With blue dream Cause reality is cruel So I keep my head in my hood low Bad days got me looking for good tho Gotta wonder Where'd the hood go? Everywhere I look mo' Homies in they shook mode And I can barely blame em' They all hit the hustle And only a couple came up Still I stay up Gotta step my game up When I make it Just remember that I came from nothing The day I learned to walk Same day I learned I can't stop runnin' Can't stop Chasing all this money Used to never Treat it like it's something I came from nothing The day I learned to walk Same day I learned I can't stop runnin' Can't stop Chasing all this money Used to never Treat it like it's something And it's hard to let it go Why you think I'm burning trees And call it medical? Why you think I'm busy? Tryna occupy my schedule I'm set to blow But my soul been feelin' temporal Still My mind and body stay inseparable Except for when I travel in my sleep Strange things happening to me That's how its gotta be Tryna live merrily When life is but a dream Why am I stressin' for? Raised a christian But I'm questioning Who lead the lord? Never had it in my head before But now I'm feeling like The son of many metaphors Hard to argue with the fact I feel he set his course Before the carnivors Omnivors and herbivors The first to roar Before we gave the world to war And so now it happens Every sabbath I be working more What you working for? What you working for? I've been working overtime For the overlord What you working for? What you working for? I've been working overtime What you working for? Try these overnights bruh I swear to God I barley feel like I'm alive bruh And I ain't doin' Half of what these others do Stuck in the motherboard Tryna run the troubleshoot But we Running out of options We clock in Talk shit And get to stocking Bottom of the bottle survivors We try to find the beauty In the struggle around us Life be like a movie I ain't even look back Life's good When you get to be bad I ain't even get a chance to look back Life's good When you get to be bad I came from nothing The day I learned to walk Same day I learned I cant stop runnin' Can't stop Chasing all this money Used to never Treat it like it's something I came from nothing The day I learned to walk Same day I learned I can't stop runnin' Can't stop Chasing all this money Used to never Treat it like it's something I need it now
