Текст песни Overtime - J.Inks

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
