Lyrics Long Overdue - John Anthony

Yeah, aye

Yeah
I gave you lyrics that nobody ever could've wrote
And fed 'em in your mind so you only had a dose
It's like an antidote, y'all thought it was really dope
Then criticize sayin' I took someone else's flow
I told you once, this is how my life is gonna go
I'm steppin' on your turf knowin' you will never grow
'Cause I don't fold on the mic when I study my notes
I'm at the top of my class, I guess I'm on a roll, (Honor roll)
So if you try and provoke me, I won't let it go
I'll go right for the throat, someone just hand me the rope
You gettin' choked so you better step up on 'em toes
'Cause when I'm soaked in cold water, I stay afloat
This all I know, words connect like they part of my bones
I won't fall to the low of death so just lend me a rose
Like a remote, I can't switch, I guess I'm broke
But you searchin' at home for remote work 'cause you fuckin' are broke

I'm tellin' you, (You)
That this how I'm gonna be, (Be)
I don't need no controllin' nothin',
I'm only doin' this for me, (This for me)
But this shit's long overdue, ('due)
At some point y'all gonna see, (See)
So lemme turn me into somethin' now
It don't matter if you wanna agree
'Cause you gonna see that this is long overdue

Fuck lookin' back at my good year, my head is spinnin', I am tired
This shit took years for me to finally be admired
Spent an entire decade only just bein' inspired
Constantly bitchin' and quittin', every year I would retire
Yeah, goin' back to them days in the past
Relationship was a drag, always pullin' her back
Arguin' everyday, look at the way we act
Our fights would burst into flames, how the fuck did we match?
My lyrics are revolvin' the way that my rhymin' starts
You keep on talkin' but know you couldn't write me a card
I'll be evolvin' 'til my forty's so line up the shots
I'll just be a rappin' alcoholic relyin' on bars
Yeah
So lemme try to be real for you though
If Hollywood does except me, then where do I go?
'Cause God only would know how I be feelin'
If I don't get a deal in this mother fucker, my head is gonna blow

I'm tellin' you, (You)
That this how I'm gonna be, (Be)
I don't need no controllin' nothin',
I'm only doin' this for me, (This for me)
But this shit's long overdue, ('due)
At some point y'all gonna see, (See)
So lemme turn me into somethin' now
It don't matter if you wanna agree
'Cause you gonna see that this is long overdue

I ain't no beggar but fuck it, I don't mind if I let up
I'll do whatever to set up my whole career to get better
'Cause I have centered my life around showin' you all my effort
'Cause all this pressure would get to me like a
Web and instead of lettin' it go and just kill me
I'm a try and rebuild me
And fill me with the pills and lean,
'Cause the real me can still see exactly what I need to see
I be feelin' guilty 'cause I would still be the mother fuckin' problem
When I come inside of the game bitch, you feel me?
My shit would still be raw if you try and grill me
You just need to chill with thinkin' my shit filthy, I'm still clean
Killin' these mother fuckers with a guillotine
It's just the little things in life that workin' me harder
I'll poke a hole in the bottle,
Fill it with holy water and wash away all my sins
All the people I would slaughter, just to only honor the game
I'm devotin' my product

I'm tellin' you, (You)
That this how I'm gonna be, (Be)
I don't need no controllin' nothin',
I'm only doin' this for me, (This for me)
But this shit's long overdue, ('due)
At some point y'all gonna see, (See)
So lemme turn me into somethin' now
It don't matter if you wanna agree
'Cause you gonna see that this is long overdue
