Lyrics:

Uh, yep, uh

Verse 1
Khakis with no creases, they jacked me with no pieces
It's crafty with no cheeses, exactly it's my thesis
I leave the bass hard where the beat is
I see that their heart is where the heat is
We running from polices and gunning for no reason
Done it with no pleasing, the sun it is slow freezing
I do this for the cousins, uncles, nephews, and nieces
I gave them back the hood and won it in slow pieces
I love pastors and preachers, I love doctors and teachers
I love copping their features, I love rocking with Jesus
I make a point to show them where my seat is
I extend both my arms to show them just what reach is
We need more food to feed us and less rude to greet us
Less abusers to beat us and real leaders to lead us
They keep us separated, like walls during sieges
But I'm trying to bring us together, like Kathy and Regis

Chorus
I have overcame, and I am over fame
I speak the words that set into your brain
Be careful of the words you let into your brain
I got the main things, so what I need to gain?
And you will overcome because you are no one dumb
While they are loading guns, you seek the chosen one
But they are growing tons, like they was knowing something
But you are doing great, and you will show them something

Verse 2
And I ain't dying in no shallow pool, I refuse and challenge you
I got my battle suit on, the Shadower is shatter proof
I grew up drug threw the dirt, and I got the scars to prove
And I ain't mad at you, it hurt me, but through that I grew
Like what else is there to do, wealth is there for few
Not chasing dollars is what helps me bear with the youth
Killings, dealings, hurt feelings, are the pains that I've been through
I wish it were a lie, but I'm knowing that these times is true
Got to keep it calm dude, even though he harmed you
I held out my arm too, but he chose the wrong fruit
The whole thing got me feeling sicker than a strong flu
I knew this life would come to me one day, and then it's gone, poof
And I ain't going to shoot, or even want to
I just check one, two, and leave them with a song new
In the end it didn't matter I did not have on a suit
My life has been a war zone, they need to send in the troops

Chorus
I have overcame, and I am over fame
I speak the words that set into your brain
Be careful of the words you let into your brain
I got the main things, so what I need to gain?
And you will overcome because you are no one dumb
While they are loading guns, you seek the chosen one
But they are growing tons, like they was knowing something
But you are doing great, and you will show them something

Verse 3
Soldiers lined up for war, my time is up for sure
Until I realized I had something in my core
That was deeper than the streets I learned to adore
I grabbed it and happened to gravitate to the Lord
And since then I have been rich even when my bank was poor
And I learned that true homies never ever keep the score
I made some good ones, and I hope to make plenty more
I keep them around, and it just ain't for support
The ghetto I overcame, but it used to hurt before
Settling for the pain, my lyrics give you the tour
But I ain't I ain't settling anymore
Pick up my sword, and I pledge allegiance to the Lord
And as for the future, I don't know what it has in store
But I'm going to live life like I never have before
I do things because I want, not because it is a chore
Move forward in this world even when my legs is sore

Chorus
I have overcame, and I am over fame
I speak the words that set into your brain
Be careful of the words you let into your brain
I got the main things, so what I need to gain?
And you will overcome because you are no one dumb
While they are loading guns, you seek the chosen one
But they are growing tons, like they was knowing something
But you are doing great, and you will show them something

  • when will they show the other side of arguments, I don't want to see any, its distracting, I see nice speed with the words, I got no story like this to get it, I just think if you left out the guns dope and death words and describe strife with emotion and heartache... the inner city stuff is un relatable and the fan base wannabes try'n to relate I don't; get why. Peace, did you win the argument.
