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 niggas, as hot as we was as niggas, that shit pales in comparison of what he’s built

So my nigga 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 niggas 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

Nigga, 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 nigga 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 nigga 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]
