Nipsey Hussle - Overtime lyrics

Gotta light up to shit like this, nigga
And I ain't even said it or wrote it yet
I just feel it, you know?

Yuh overtime 'cause I ain't have a mic
I was in that Chevy yuh
Overtime (Overtime) 'cause I ain't have a mic
I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life
Niggas lookin' like I had it wrong (Wrong)
Now them niggas know I had it right (Right)
They don't know about them sleepless nights
Them lookin' for a reason nights
They say it's six degrees in life
Opportunity, preparation, they meet
It's nice (Nice, nice)

You see me up in Neiman's, right?
My chain and my pinky bright (Bright)
I valet this Mercedes Benz (Benz)
Lookin' like somebody that people like (Like)
Can't but help to think how fake it is
This world and this music biz
I just want all of this paper, though
(Paper, though)
So maybe I could try and change this shit
Maybe, me, I'm too ambitious
Or maybe this a new dimension
Maybe them, they too religious
Maybe they judge my intentions
But either way, I'm on my mission
In the sky, for our love, I'ma tie a ribbon
Life's a bitch, lady luck my woman
Forever you my lady, I'm your fuckin' nigga

Overtime (Overtime) 'cause I ain't have a mic (Overtime)
I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life
Niggas lookin' like I had it wrong (Wrong)
Now them niggas know I had it right (Right)
They don't know about them sleepless nights
Them lookin' for a reason nights
They say it's six degrees in life
Opportunity, preparation, they meet
It's nice (Nice, nice)

Cappin' for a cheaper price
Hustlin' for a bucket
Keep your sneakers tight
Shoot a box, catch the cheapest flight
If it land, thank you Jesus Christ (Christ)
You ain't gon' get it till you see it right
And jump off in this legal life
Feel the pressure from your people, right?
(Right?)
Still choose to lead 'em right (Right)
Sometimes I rap about my feature price
(Price) or all of my defeats in life
They told me don't believe the hype
But, I felt like this 'bout
Myself before the mic

And you know
If you look at like the movie industry
You don't, you don't base the success off
For how many tickets sold you know, like
What's the gross? How much it gross?
Period, right? When it come to business, the
Bottom line is, you know
We in business to make money
How much you gross?
So, it's like, I feel like it's a looming
Question mark over Hollywood
Over the entertainment, music industry
What's the new business model?
And, to me, you know
The people that lead to that answer
That lend they intelligence, they hustle
They effort, they mind power, you know?
Whatever they can offer to that question
And stick to that and come
Up with answers to that
I feel like that's one of the
Most important things going on
Like in the city they'll try and disrespect
And you'll try to go to, you know, the moon
And then it was like, uh
It had industrial revolutions
Like now, I think it's the business model
Creators of the new era that's
Gon' be able to be the type to keep
The business moving forward
People that create new business
Models, you know, as well as products
That, you know, are sold and
Consumed, services that are consumed
These models
But, I feel like the giants gon' be
The ones who create the business models
But that's we trying to
Do with this Proud2Pay fuck the middle man
And uh, this disruptive multimedia
Collab and I'm going with, uh, Ryan Legend

Overtime (Overtime) 'cause I ain't have a mic
I was in that Chevy playin' Savage Life
Niggas lookin' like I had it wrong (Wrong)
Now them niggas know I had it right (Right)
They don't know about them sleepless nights
Them lookin' for a reason nights
They say it's six degrees in life
Opportunity, preparation, they meet
It's nice (Nice, nice)
