Overcome

Desh Used to tell people who look up to me to keep it pushing Don't give up because for greatness we must pay a price Gotta be honest though the way my lane and future's looking I'm not all that certain that I've been giving great advice Privileged by my talent when I've been trying to escape this life Was my attempt to reject my purpose simply wasted time Wondering what I accomplished trying to run away from mine People inspired by me I'll carve a path so they can shine This has always been a volatile way of life Exhausting Wondering if support will come In pain as I've been walking Fighting curses with my guilt cause I'm complicit Just being alive in the systems we exist in I've been burned Recognizing why I'm on this earth and risking Life and livelihood I heard the call, then I listened I wish I'd never run away I wish this world were different I'm just trying to last until we shift it I pray that we can overcome Take it into overtime Unlock my full potential Maintain hope that I Overcome Yeah I'm supposed to shine And when the going gets tough I still hold the line to Overcome Take it into overtime Unlock my full potential Maintain hope that I Overcome Yeah I'm supposed to shine And when the going gets tough I still hold the line Was going extra hard and hoped the pay adjusted Corporate ladder led to quagmires I was stuck in Meanwhile people think my skills are what luck did They don't know how much I had to grind to make it up here Staring down obstacles calmly, I'm just doing math Used to think it reckless for anybody to choose this path Walking this, you never know how quickly you can leave this earth Been looking for answers but just ended up receiving burns Scars that cloud my vision Pushing forward wondering if I made the right decision Had a decent living Have I done enough No, that's why I'm still relentless Resolute but past dilemmas still come to remembrance Back when I thought leaving corporate meant that bill payments weren't getting through Now I ditch the coat and tie Know that I Got to hit the city Doing just what I was built to do Because complacency's too miserable I pray that I can overcome Take it into overtime Unlock my full potential Maintain hope that I Overcome Yeah I'm supposed to shine And when the going gets tough I still hold the line and Overcome Take it into overtime Unlock my full potential Maintain hope that I Overcome Yeah I'm supposed to shine And when the going gets tough I still hold the line and Overcome I pray that we can overcome Yeah I pray that I can overcome Yeah
