Lyrics

[Intro] Gotta light up to shit like this, nigga And I ain't even said it or wrote it yet I just feel it, you know? [Chorus] Yuh Overtime 'cause I ain't have a mic I was in that Chevy Yuh Overtime (Overtime) 'cause I ain't have a mic I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life Niggas lookin' like I had it wrong (Wrong) Now them niggas know I had it right (Right) They don't know about them sleepless nights Them lookin' for a reason nights They say it's six degrees in life Opportunity, preparation, they meet, it's nice (Nice, nice) [Verse 1] You see me up in Neiman's, right? My chain and my pinky bright (Bright) I valet this Mercedes Benz (Benz) Lookin' like somebody that people like (Like) Can't but help to think how fake it is This world and this music biz I just want all of this paper, though (Paper, though) So maybe I could try and change this shit Maybe, me, I'm too ambitious Or maybe this a new dimension Maybe them, they too religious Maybe they judge my intentions But either way, I'm on my mission In the sky, for our love, I'ma tie a ribbon Life's a bitch, lady luck my woman Forever you my lady, I'm your fuckin' nigga [Chorus] Overtime (Overtime) 'cause I ain't have a mic (Overtime) I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life Niggas lookin' like I had it wrong (Wrong) Now them niggas know I had it right (Right) They don't know about them sleepless nights Them lookin' for a reason nights They say it's six degrees in life Opportunity, preparation, they meet, it's nice (Nice, nice) [Verse 2] Cappin' for a cheaper price Hustlin' for a bucket, keep your sneakers tight Shoot a box, catch the cheapest flight If it land, thank you Jesus Christ (Christ) You ain't gon' get it till you see it right And jump off in this legal life Feel the pressure from your people, right? (Right?) Still choose to lead 'em right (Right) Sometimes I rap about my feature price (Price) Or all of my defeats in life They told me don't believe the hype But I felt like this 'bout myself before the mic [Interlude] And you know, if you look at like the movie industry You don't, you don't base the success off for how many tickets sold You know, like, what's the gross? How much it gross? Period, right? When it come to business, the bottom line is, you know, we in business to make money How much you gross? So, it's like, I feel like it's a looming question mark over Hollywood, over the entertainment, music industry What's the new business model? And, to me, you know, the people that lead to that answer That lend they intelligence, they hustle, they effort, they mind-power, you know? Whatever they can offer to that question, and stick to that and come up with answers to that I feel like that's one of the most important things going on Like in the city they'll try and disrespect [?] and you'll try to go to, you know, the moon And then it was like, uh, it had industrial revolutions Like now, I think it's the business model, creators of the new era that's gon' be able to be the type to keep the business moving forward People that create new business models, you know, as well as products that, you know, are sold and consumed, services that are consumed, these models But I feel like the giants gon' be the ones who create the business models But that's we trying to do with this Proud2Pay Fuck the middle man And uh, this disruptive multimedia Collab and I'm going with, uh, Ryan Legend [Chorus] Overtime (Overtime) 'cause I ain't have a mic I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life Niggas lookin' like I had it wrong (Wrong) Now them niggas know I had it right (Right) They don't know about them sleepless nights Them lookin' for a reason nights They say it's six degrees in life Opportunity, preparation, they meet, it's nice (Nice, nice)
