Overthinking

[Verse 1: eLZhi]

I try not to overthink

But what if backers fronted me with money like you drove a brinks truck?

You out of luck 'cause what I'm jotting is career ending

Atmosphere bending to whose ear lending a fear

That they'll see it appear trending on the sites in they web browsers

I've dodged bullets, demons, chicks who try to get inside of a celeb trousers

To extort 'em, fake pregnancy, and post a picture just for likes out of boredom

Sometimes I think that could've been me

From how I used to spend free time out in NC

NY, LA, or trips having meetings up in capital

Which could've blew me up and have my haters ducking shrapnel

But, it wasn't meant to be

I used to wonder why collapsing under my

Blunders by the time that I undone a tie

I had to wear while up in court when I was sued

But now I see it's not the size of your problems, it's how it's viewed

So I'm thinking, you either change the way you see things

Or keep poking at a hive and wind up getting bee stings

Cause I was looking up to D Boys pushing Sebrings

A steering wheel and three rings

Keep a bank roll and drop a G-string

We sing their praises when they serving time

If it's moms who they were serving

Would I think that they deserve a dime?

Let me think, hell no

And that's off the top like a elbow

That fell low from the turnbuckle

[Chorus]

Or maybe I'm just overthinking

Or maybe I'm just overthinking

[Verse 2: eLZhi]

Everybody got flaws including me, I'll admit that

I'm just a kid born in the city where the skinny nigga's die trying to get fat

And sit at the round table thinking once I found a down label

We could build a foundation if the ground stable

My very first contract I signed jerked me

Stuck a toe inside of waters that one would define murky and I almost drowned

With bricks tied to both ankles

That's how it all goes down behind the scenes

I know what you thinking how you slip up if your mind is king

Know-it-all smarty pants, they would've hemmed your designer jeans

I was green with a dream and if it manifested

These anorexic pockets would have 100-grand investments

My pops wouldn't have to find a job again

And maybe my aunties wouldn't be beefed out

Cause that's a problem when they sister gone

They know she would insist upon

Building back up a consistent bond

Until they not existing on the planet

[Chorus]

Or maybe I'm just overthinking

Or maybe I'm just overthinking

[Verse 3: ELZhi]

All these thoughts inside my head keep me up at night

I queue a beat, plug in my earbuds

Let it bump and write something heavy, or is it something light?

Do I base it on pumping white or thoughts about Trump and right

Wing conservatives can talk about these haters and how payback triggers nervousness

Revenge is best cold when you serve the dish with no preservatives, but

Maybe this just ain't the track for that

To do the multi-syllables than acrobats

I need knock it out the park

Crack the backs with championship back-to-backs

Anyone who's tryna short change me is paying active tax, I'm just saying

Nigga's never want to see me win

Part of the reason why I've been through these situations I'm in

Maybe it's in God's plan and I've reached my fullest potential 'cause

I've felt that I was dealt a odd hand

If I play my cards right then I could win it all, but

What if I lose myself?

Every second that every minute fall

[Chorus]

Or maybe I'm just overthinking

Or maybe I'm just overthinking

[Outro: Alan Watts]

And all so called civilized peoples

Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive

We confuse science, words, numbers, symbols, and ideas with the real world

Most of us would have rather money than tangible wealth

And a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed

And to read about it the next day in the newspaper

Is oddly, more fun for us than the original event
