Overnight

(album: Gold Mouf - 2021)

Yeah
(Turn it up)

I'm not trying to be no legend, I'm not a rapper
Just good with words, just want my flowers, the actual [?]
They call 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 living in my truth since 2012
I've been spitting in the booth since I was milly mill'
Yelling, "free my nigga Press", they like, "Lute been 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, yeah
I don't take nothing for granted
You reap what you sow and you playing
Some days I just don't have the answer, but my feet, they solid
They plan it 'cause this shit outstanding

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 nothing 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 nothing to prove, hmm, this ain't no overnight

I used to be so naive in the beginning
The first that I got, the more I rely, shit different, the pockets you watch
You should be paying on commission
This was my call and my intuition
Had to let go of the time and the whole for wishing
Watch my life unfold, like what a feeling
Some days I be on apologetic
Some days I understand you won't get it
Never take it wrong when I'm dissing
I've been working on myself for a minute
Hate when people say they want a part of me
But can't accept the meet that I give 'em
My daughter getting older, so I'm living
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 have sacrificed
Despite how they feel, I did all I could do
Just for you so that you have a better life

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 nothing 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 nothing to prove, hmm, this ain't no overnight
