OVERCOMER
[Intro: Chance The Rapper]
This the one time that this gon’ ever happen for my dawg, he just got married today
He made a decision that he was going to build a family and a tribe thats gon’ outlast all of us living, so as cool as we was as n***as, as hot as we was as n***as, that shit pales in comparison of what he’s built
So my n***a made a decision today that he know where his life is goin’ and he’s putting his faith in God and in his marriage...to continue something a-a-a life through him, through his wife, through his [youngin’], thats gonna surpass all of us and that’s one of the beauties
[Verse 1: Def-Liva]
Yeah
Ain’t no reminiscing if past vision bring us the clearance
You feel the difference in thе presence whеn we make an appearance
Just look in the mirror, I can see the key to my soul, you know it’s right, just do it, that’s the key to my goals, don’t feed the addiction
Know your value, key the control, I’m one with the road, I’m speedin’, I’m gone
And think about the rearview them n***as who complacent can’t hear you
Ambition with the GrandVision is who you steer to
Clear to the masses, the real has the magic
Concrete faculties, spirit don’t perish
Your soul has surrendered
Not askin’ for riches, askin’ for answers to [send ‘em]
Is you maxin’ or chillin’?
This game I’m substantially winnin’
I’m leavin’ land for my children
Teach ‘em the worth they advancin’ with wisdom
God got a plan, these haters can’t stand, I’m still in it
I come with the passion, no time for frivolous gimmicks, lets get it
[Verse 2: Sterling Hayes]
I just wanna be a family man
My pastor say I’m fightin’
Tryna be a godly man and
I changed the epigenetics
My daughters’ Uncles is famous
And they powerful, I’m prideful, they try to use you like a power tool
Now, I see that we was never cool
Still savin’ revenue
A legend that you never knew, oh
No more low-risk money
N***a, I’m too hungry
Gonna get into stocks, bet on the Bulls or the Bears
I don’t pretend to care
You can see the pain in my eye
You can see the sun when I cry
On the day that I die, I’ma fly to the sky
I could finally say hi, and my n***a we back
Shit, our back to the wall
I’m not prepared for that call
But I’ve been through so much I might
I’m out my mind sometimes
You out my mind, out of sight
Now, I got me a pipe
‘Cause everybody got pipes
I’m done chasing the night
‘Cause now I’m the light
My dreams won’t stop
And we still don’t talk
Like you promised we would
I leave this city for good
Gave n***a the shirt off my back
When I was broke and down bad
Y’all was too relaxed
Broke every bone in my body
But I’m still quick to react
[Outro]
