Sean Divine - Overtime Lyrics

Take it back to '07
I was making beats in dorm rooms
Neighbors knocking on the walls
And they didn't even have a clue
Blah blah, "he wastes his time making rap tunes"
I was building up a business on the low
What you didn't see I know now
And never had a doubt
Cause God kept me focused while they tried to put the fire out
I kept at it, even when the a&rs went static
Signed on the dotted lines, did me like a bad habit
Acted major, truth is I never had it
Paid back advances, cause I didn't feel good about it
What they don't tell you about this industry
Is the love of the music comes secondary sometimes...
If you're all about the dollars and your morals take a back seat
Don't forget the nice folks, give us beds to sleep in Brother
May not find another
Loyalty lost, if you're scheming under cover

Leaped over hurdles that haunt you
I pray for patience my conscience
Been reigning down on me
Overtime we see
Who stays by our sides
Relates to our lives
Through darkness and the light
God grant me peace of mind

Yeah I the let the beat ride out
I don't find the need to tell you all about my bank account
That ain't my goal in this thing
Stacking up zeros
Steer people to their purpose, we could be heroes
In this life
When you're young, think it stretch on endlessly
But it could come to an end prematurely
And we're left looking back like
"How did you affect the life others"?
Love is all that matters
Taught by my own mother
Thankful for the grass under my feet
Still keep an eye out for the snakes
And the negativity
It's contagious, energy wasted
But glories on the hill, I can almost taste it
I'm pushing through the fog
You can say what you wanna say it's no love lost
When I see you see on the other side
I hope your heart changed
And you found a couple reasons to
Forgive your enemies whoa

Leaped over hurdles that haunt you
I pray for patience my conscience
Been reigning down on me
Overtime we see
Who stays by our sides
Relates to our lives
Through darkness and the light
God grant me peace of mind
