Overtime Lyrics

24/7 I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still had to sell my soul for it, just to get by

24/7 I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still had to sell my soul for it, just to get by
Uh, I woulda been dropping out days
Man I can't even think clearly
Less than 5 grand I make yearly
And a dollar from iTunes I make, barely

Only 30 thousand plays on Spotify, equals 75 cents
Not even a dollar, God, that shit scare me
I'm told I'd be signing on the dotted line
And in my bank account man I don't even fucking got a dime

I used to fucking listen to the radio
But nowadays man these kids don't know how to rhyme
Man hell yeah I'm getting outta line
Man I used to fuckin' idolize
But rap haven't been the same since '99

The sucky part man knowing you're sick
When the haters hoping you quit
I was so hot since Eminem was on stage on drugs holding his dick
While Jay-Z was rapping fast promoting his bricks

24/7 I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still had to sell my soul for it, just to get by

24/7 I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still had to sell my soul for it, just to get by

Yo I haven't ate in four days
So I guess you could say I'm a starving artist
Tryna paint a perfect picture
Fuck a 9-to-5 man I'll say it wit'cha (Fuck it man)
Back on my bullshit and I ain't playin wit'cha
24/7. 365. Just tryna stay alive

Murderin' these beats lyrical homicide
I was trying to become a star before big momma died
11:11 you better make a fucking wish
Cuz you ain't ever gonna see a born star like this

Gasoline with the mask I might blow this bitch
I'm from a hatin' ass city that's cold as shit
I flow so deep these niggas done stole my drip
But I'm back and I'm focused bitch
Market and promoting my shit
Yeah man you know I'm lit
Uh huh, yeah you know I'm lit

24/7 I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still had to sell my soul for it, just to get by

24/7 I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still had to sell my soul for it, just to get by

Uh it sucks being the laugh of the town
Picking cigarette butts off the crack of the ground
They thought I was goin' these kids started jacking my style
I was born with this gift ain't no practicing now

Talk a lot of shit but guess what I'm backing it now
Put a fist up in the air if you're black and you're proud
When I step out the house they be patting me down
Harassing me now
Yo pulling you over turn to 'can I see your I.D.' they're batting you down
Till you have red socks as the crowd posted on Facebook
Yelling "pig stop"

What I like more than sex is a dick cop
Where I'm from yo 14 years old they let the lead pop
Let your head bop
Fuck working like a slave for minimum wage
I have dreams of being on stage at BET
24/7 I've been working overtime (Fuck that I ain't got no money on my EBT)
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still had to sell my soul for it, just to get by

24/7 I've been working overtime
Ain't got that much to show for it
Still had to sell my soul for it, just to get by

24/7 I've been working overtime
24/7 I've been working overtime
