Overcome Lyrics

To any of my fans

Thank you for rocking with me all these years

I appreciate it

But sometimes this, this music, these lyrics

They get too real, they

They uh, hurt me to say them sometimes but

If ain't being honest with myself and

And all my fans and my family then, what the hell am I even doing

This is me uh, 120 percent

What you hear on the mic is what I'm like in real life

If I'm struggling I'll let you know alright

I'll continue to fight

Yeah I know we had our ups and downs

Bout a hundred rounds

But the fight is never over when it's worth it

Just because a couple years that weren't perfect

Doesn't mean that we can't turn it all around and make it work

I know it's eating at you, like it's eating at me

If our issues were meals, demons could feast

Feels like I'm walking on eggshells, when I'm trying to sneak

Wanted my cake and eat it too, but gotta watch my physique

Feels like I'm having conversations with myself when I speak

I pushed everyone away in just a matter of weeks

The truth is I feel like a burden just the way that I be

So I became like a bird, and just flew away when I'd freak

You'd be happier without me

That's depression, I'm weak

I don't believe that you would listen that's just me being bleak

Though I would never turn my back on any of you and leave

I feel you'd grow better without me, make me proud ya'll, peace

If I leave

Would you miss me tomorrow, would you be

A little upset if I don't come home

If you got that call in the middle of the night that I took my life

I've tried to overcome it all but I can't

I can't, I can't

I'm overcome by my emotions

Self loathing is ferocious

Sad, cause I probably do it the mostest

Even if you hear me drop a funny song I guarantee you

If you listen harder the meaning's deeper than oceans

I approach this

Like it's the end of my commotions

I gave you all I had but wasn't good enough

I know this is only gone reach an ear or two

Maybe in a year or two

You'll look back at what I've done and notice I was here for you

They told me go do something instead

Put this rap shit to bed

The day you finally make a name's the day that you'll end up dead

What you trying to prove

Who you trying to move

You don't know that you're only wasting your time do you

You're the needle in a haystack no one'll find

You should climb to the top of a building and see if you fly

And when you land on the pavement

You won't be able to say that the pain is unbearable

Cause you'll be bone marrow and blood

So that's what you want

So that's what you want

Okay

Throwing out the rhyme books

Rolling up the wire for the microphone and I look

Over to the mirror

Thinking bout the sweat that I smeared

On all the albums I made through the years and I fall

If I leave

Would you miss me tomorrow, would you be

A little upset if I don't come home

If you got that call in the middle of the night that I took my life

I've tried to overcome it all but I can't

I can't, I can't

I'm staring at my rhyme book, like it's wasted paper

In the closest it goes, maybe I'll read it later

Shoulda been a doctor, shoulda been a lawyer

Shoulda been something different

Shoulda went out the house and found a wife

I always wanted children

God dammit man

Gonna need ya to simmer down

I wish things could be different now

I've tried so hard to hold on

But you ran away, you gave up

Didn't get me a chance to say something

I've tried to overcome it all but I can't
