Kid Praise - Overtime (feat. Breana Marin)

Hope for the hood
In Jesus name

Twenty four seven I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by
Twenty four seven I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by

Everythings good while the getting is easy
Couple bumps in the road and all the passengers leave me
Loyaltys cheap and cash is king
If I want it I got to get it
My heart on my sleeve
And just chase my dreams
Along the way I've learned a few things
First off don't get too close people ain't what they seem
Secondly don't give up too much just to be seen
Spending your life chasing things cuz they glitter and bling
If it come fast it don't last
If you ain't first you ain't last
Don't let the world lie give you the gas
What's two plus two you do the math
Study up stay sharp for the subject at hand
Perception becomes reality you don't understand
Third and final thing I'm a go and break this down
Working man ain't a sucka he gets sleep at night
Dope man has to wonder why he ain't sleeping right
Yaah

Twenty four seven I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by
Twenty four seven I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by

Aint got much but its all mine
Twenty four seven plus overtime
Just to struggle and to lose my mind
Barely making it smile but I'm faking it
I ain't sell my soul
But it feel like the devil taking it
Hurt but that ain't stopping me break the game off properly
Burden getting heavy pray the lord to take it off of me
Clear mind full heart then I make my next move
Todays a new start no debt owed got nothing to prove
A day in my shoes and you probably barely gonna get by
I ain't mad or judging the next man with a plank in my eye
Everybody gotta process in their journey of life
And everybody has their own path from the darkness to light
I just thank the lord above for understanding and sight
His grace mercy and forgiveness while I'm getting it right
Far from perfection a work in progress is what I'm more like
What he started he will finish as I fight the good fight
Yaah

Twenty four seven I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by
Twenty four seven I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still I had to sell my soul for it
Just to get by
