Overtime

247 I've been working overtime
And I got nothing to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by

247 I've been working overtime
And I got nothing to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by

I'm truly blessed that I can say that I made it this far
I'm not where I wanna be so still I reach for the stars
So I'm grinding perfect my lines until destiny comes aligning
Just lighting up Instrumentals so fluid I simply bomb it
I vomit just like a comet falling out if the sky
Bringing pain to these lames, straight up set'em on fire
But things will never change if you never refrain
So the focus is getting money a little pinch of the game
Just going hard spitting lyrics strictly for the cheese
Never bump with the gimmicks keep it trilla to the T
Nothing short of amazing never laced in fabrication
Just a straight shooter check the pivot it's no recalibration
I'm super pressed for time on this mission of mine
So I try to kick the illest lines ever designed
And simply deliver rhymes that inspire the mind
Cos the future is a present we can surely define

247, I've been working overtime
And I got nothing to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by

247 I've been working overtime
And I got nothing to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by

I spit that wonder rhymer shit me and my conglomerates
A rap scholar, dont follow none of them parliaments
Eating none of them condiments growing my own greens
Labels signing these artists and make'em money machines
No content just nonsense simply a hot mess
The only thing that they focus on dollar signs
What I spit is coke in lines running up and down your spine
Type of shit you hear and make you wanna go and press rewind
One of the illest realest spittas, never claim to be drug dealers for fame
But what I want is ya'll remember my name
As the kid from the Motherland who rose to be great
And blew up way taller than the empire state
And always spreading love never fell for hate from the fakes
Cos real recognize real only the best can relate
And with God yeah I know that everything will be fine
Bringing my visions to reality one verse at a time

247, I've been working overtime
And I got nothing to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by

247 I've been working overtime
And I got nothing to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by

What is life 9 to 5 struggle to stay alive
Making your monthly payments with nothing to set aside
Day dreaming of millions but stay at your dead end job
Then wake up at 65 retire and simply die
Or taking that leap of faith don't care what the people say
Just follow what's in your heart it'll never lead you astray
Time deliberating should never come intertwined
As long as you put in work then you know you're destined to Shine
Shine bright than a diamond popping like we were Hymans
Living through clearer skies and broadening my horizons
But still I'm leaving ill tryna make me me a mill
The Devil's working overtime tryna get me to squeal
But I just keep on rocking knocking out adversaries
Promise to keep it trill leave them failures dead and buried
And free up all these demons that be trapped in my mind
Finally becoming great it's just a matter of time

247 I've been working overtime
And I got nothing to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by

247 I've been working overtime
And I got nothing to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by
