Overnight

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah (Turn it up) [Verse 1] I'm not tryin' to be no legend, I'm not a rapper Just good with words, just want my flowers, the ashwagandha To calm my nerves, I put in hour after hours Before the deal, back when it was just me, Ry, Jimmy and Will At the dojo, eighty-nineteen, we tip the scale I've been livin' in my truth since 2012 I've been spittin' in the booth since I was milly mill' Yellin', "free my nigga Preston", like Lupe and Chilly Chill It was C-I double A, cold man's in my gear I was backstage like I'm just a cashier If I play my cards right, maybe this my last year Even though it took five, hail a nigga right here, yеah I don't take nothin' for granted You reap what you sow and you plantin' Somе days I just don't have the answer, but my feet, they solid They planted 'cause this shit outstanding [Chorus] You can't tell me how to feel, this shit my life I can't tell you this ain't happen overnight When you ain't got shit to lose, hmm, got to roll the dice I ain't got nothin' to prove, hmm, this ain't no overnight You can't tell me how to feel, this shit my life I can't tell you this ain't happen overnight When you ain't got shit to lose, hmm, got to roll the dice I ain't got nothin' to prove, hmm, this ain't no overnight [Verse 2] I used to be so naive in the beginning The first that I got, the more I realize shit different, the pockets you watch You should be payed on commission This was my call and my intuition Had to let go of the time and the hopeful wishin' Watch my life unfold, like what a feelin' Some days I be unapologetic Some days I understand you won't get it Never take it wrong when I'm distant I've been workin' on myself for a minute Hate when people say they want a part of me But can't accept the me that I give 'em My daughter gettin' older, so I'm livin' If I could, I wouldn't do it any different Money be the goal, not the mission I hope that when you get older You understand all the shit that I had sacrificed Despite how they feel, I did all I could do Just for you so that you have a better life [Chorus] You can't tell me how to feel, this shit my life I can't tell you this ain't happen overnight When you ain't got shit to lose, hmm, got to roll the dice I ain't got nothin' to prove, hmm, this ain't no overnight You can't tell me how to feel, this shit my life I can't tell you this ain't happen overnight When you ain't got shit to lose, hmm, got to roll the dice I ain't got nothin' to prove, hmm, this ain't no overnight
