Overtime Lights

Yeah

Clock still runnin'

We still runnin' faster

Look

Up late, same hoodie, same headache

Rent due, whole crew tryna get a break

Boss talk big, but his hands never ache

Mine do, grind glue, I don't ever flake

Mom call, "Baby, don't lose your faith"

Phone on face, I pretend I'm straight

Heart got cracks like a sidewalk gate

Still I lace up tight, let the doubt vibrate

I'm workin' overtime, overtime

'Til the sun don't know my name

Put that pressure on my spine

Turn that struggle into flame

Yeah, I'm in overdrive, overdrive

You can see it in my veins

If they never pick my side

I'll still run my own lane (hey!)

Cheap meal, cold fries, that's fuel

Big dreams on a cracked screen, look cruel

Friends turn strangers, strangers act cool

Love feel staged like a high school duel

I been talkin' to the mirror like, "Prove it"

Every scar on my arm like music

Every loss in my chest, I reuse it

Every "no" in my ear, I confuse it—(say what?)

Into "go," yeah, that fear, I diffuse it

I'm workin' overtime, overtime

'Til the sun don't know my name

Put that pressure on my spine

Turn that struggle into flame

Yeah, I'm in overdrive, overdrive

You can see it in my veins

If they never pick my side

I'll still run my own lane (yeah, yeah)

Who gon' ride when the lights cut?

Who still there when the mic shut?

Who still pray when the dice stuck?

Name in the dirt, I'ma rise up (rise up)

Hands to the sky, let the pain talk

Tears in my eyes, but the chain off

Faith in my feet when the way lost

Bet it all on the kid, let the game watch (hey!)

I'm workin' overtime, overtime

'Til the sun don't know my name

Put that pressure on my spine

Turn that struggle into flame

Yeah, I'm in overdrive, overdrive

You can see it in my veins

If they never pick my side

I'll still run my own lane (overtime)
