Overtime

Yeah, Uh huh, uh huh Yeah, yeah, yeah My harshest lessons In adolescence Came through my blessings, A lot of my tests Came through my Lord's presence, Had it all , but I did nothing to earn it, Just prayin' to God Don't let me fall off my summit Cause I've seen what hunger can do to you Havin' to pick and choose from the death and abuse To earn pennies you can use To buy some leftover food From the guy that labored you, It's a cruel spiral Your life is like a broken vinyl A lot of things to say, but you can't pin one Cause your shit ain't viral Man, say what you want, do what'll make you whole Watch the rest unfold truth be told The power that I hold Is like a fable I'm Aesop, cause you hope, but you ain't able To give what I give like Abel With my nasal flow, who knows where I can go The shows that I perform and parties I could throw You're lookin' with disdain But I will never let you get to me like Cain Don't try to run game, cause it's my shit you're playin' For every rise I sacrifice, a plate of plain rice For every pain I'm paid back in full, Twice! And even through all your grace For every setback I face, my feeble faith Still eggs me to say, am I stuck in my ways Or will things change? Am I stuck in my ways Or will I change if you came down today Will I be saved? Will I stay the same Will I stay down here Am I stuck in my ways? Or will things change Am I stuck in my ways? Or will I change I take an L, try to tilt, it's still an L Flip the second, get a dub, go for more then L again Don't trust nobody, I'm buildin' em but upside down So you can't peep my M's and take my M's Hey, Man, two legs, climb one tree What you gonna say when I climb up three I don't rap about nothin' that I'm not about Better than doin' nothin' that I rap about I feel freedom, but I'm free smart Best bars, bar none, cause I fiend the art Say I'm the one, then you are right Claim my crown, my birthright Leave no crumbs, you bark and don't bite How you try to stop a train freight Derail me, I was fresh meat in the rap game Toting word bullets, sprayn' with no aim Made a few friends, but made more hate But all of them came back to me, holdin' up their plate Askin' for a feature, I'm a X man, never a feature You gotta understand what's at hand Next wave more like a last stand Wizard with words, wave wands Unheard flows with weird bars and no hands Am I stuck in my ways? Or will things change Am I stuck in my ways? Or will I change If you came down today, will I be saved Or will I stay the same? Will I stay down here
