Overdue

Introduce to you

Something that’s been overdue

Writing in these journals, got me wondering about the truth.

True intentions of the crime you committed

The homicide of my heart, when you hitted then quit it.

It fitted, your M.O. and I didn’t care

Cause deep down I knew that the heart wasn’t there.

I Swear, the next time, there won’t be next time;

Cause you’ll be the one looking in, from the outside.

I try, my best to make this one life count

But with the pressures of the world leaves my mind in doubt.

The clout. these people trying to get,

Makes the mind sick.

So swallow another pill, clock out, and get the quick fix.

Licks, another stamp,

Hoping you’ll get the message this time,

Maybe in advance

That there’s more to this life, than what you see on screens.

Turn this tv off, and start living all your dreams.

Aye!

(Hook)

Heart’s heavy, but my mind stays clear,

One step at a time, I ain’t movin’ in fear,

Life’s a struggle, but I rise to the top,

Focused on the grind, I ain’t ever gon’ stop.

Heart’s heavy, but my mind stays clear,

One step at a time, I ain’t movin’ in fear,

Life’s a struggle, but I rise to the top,

Focused on the grind, I ain’t ever gon’ stop.

I wanna rewind, take it back to a good time,

When you knew it was gettin’ warmer outside, vibe was prime,

Music roaring loud,

echoing through the streets,

Ices for 50 cents from the lady with crooked teeth,

Sugar toast, was hittin when I was a kid,

Ridin’ bikes across cities,

felt like I was really livin’,

But times have changed,

it ain’t the same,

Tech running wild,

but music still runs through my, veins.

It’s insane how the world got twisted,

Can’t read books for leisure,

While dreams are being dismissed,

The good get convicted,

it’s systematic,

Targeting the truth,

they erasin’ what’s dramatic,

History erased,

tryin’ to block the face,

Of melanated beings,

they’re erasin’ our place.

Here’s a taste of what true words sound like,

This ain’t for hearts, clicks, blue thumbs, or likes, nah,
