Overtime lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yo, outside her Brooklyn apartment

She got a new crew now and I ain't part of it

Tattoo on her wrists, so the scars are hid

And I ain't trying to lose you like an argument

Fuck beef and everybody who started it

Walk in to the bar and they card the kid

Good, cause I'm twenty-five, but I only look twenty

I'm trying to survive in this world that we live in

There's truth and there's lies and not every decision you choose can rewind

You might blink in a moment and this shit be over

I'm fucking it up if I'm living inside

Wasting my time on the internet

This job never ends, nowadays

It's the only way we earning respect

It's hard to leave when we're earning a check

[Hook]

Working them late nights, every night

Motivation, super high

Double shift it, over drive

Make that money, multiply

Oh lord not this, walking home I wanna quit

But I stick around for the benefits

Clocking in that overtime, clocking in that overtime

Clocking in that overtime, clocking in that overtime

And I'm getting paid for it, paid for it, overtime [x2]

[Verse 2]

I'm pushing back when push comes to shove

Deep down, wondering why they ain't pushing us

I got friends with deals, I got friends who front

But just keep it real, cause who gives a fuck

If I was Pusha T, I might push a brick

Working 24/7 just to push my shit

Cause if I slip, there'll be twenty other rappers, quick

Trying to fit in my shoes, but my feet just too big

I can't relax, I can't even sit back

With my girl on my bed, got my face to my Mac

And I know she act disappointed in that

But how the fuck we gonna blow off a rap

So I stay grounded, never catch an ego

As far as we go, it’s good, just believe, yo

Love all my fans, without you, where would I be though?

Where would I be though?

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Could it be so easy, well don't believe me

Cause you know good things always take time

And please don't leave me, cause I need you with me

And there ain't no shortcuts left in this life

And the great things take love, love

And the great things take love, love

And the great things take love, love

And the great things take love, love, love

Are you putting in work?

[Hook]
