Overtime Lyrics

Overtime - Nipsey Hussle

...

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?

Overtime, cause I ain't have a mic

I was in that Chevy

Overtime, cause I ain't have a mic

I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life

Niggas lookin' like I had it wrong

Now them niggas know I had it 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, made me this nice

You see me up in Neiman's, right?

My chain and my pinkie bright

I valet this Mercedes Benz

Lookin' like, somebody that people 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

So maybe I can try and change the 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'm a tie a ribbon

Life's a bitch, lady luck my way

Forever you my lady, I'm your fuckin' nigga

Overtime, cause I ain't have a mic

I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life

Niggas lookin' like I had it wrong

Now them niggas know I had it 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, made me this nice

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

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?

Still choose to lead 'em right

Sometimes I rap about my feature 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

Overtime, cause I ain't have a mic

I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life

Niggas lookin' like I had it wrong

Now them niggas know I had it 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, made me this nice
