DON’T OVERESTIMATE Lyrics by Eugene Parks

WHAT’S LIFE WITHOUT A LITTLE SPARKLE?

2019

Riding on dubs ain’t mean that you really have weight
You can bench press 80, but that won't save you from blade
Thinking you are major, but don’t be hasty my mate
Don’t overestimate
We barely can say
That we manage this game!
Ok ok
Think about the most successful fellas of your school days
They looked tight, shapely and bright, dignified
Used to be in the spotlight
Envied by the schoolmates
Parents loaded, tons of friends, never knew any bans
Cigarettes, beer in cans, life bubbles and pulsates
Don't need to tense up at all
When you’re rich and 15 years old
Boys grew up quick, drove a stick, and every week
Strolled round the hood in dads Toyotas
They smashed chicks, smoked weed, while nerdys and geeks
Sat in kitchens so hard trying to focus
Things went amazing, hard to imagine how good!
But there were some surprises for kids from the hood
Riding on dubs ain’t mean that you really have weight
You can bench press 80, but that won't save you from blade
Thinking you are major, but don’t be hasty my mate
Don’t overestimate
We barely can say
That we manage this game!
We were just bunch of puppies
Grimy faces, empty pockets
Hardboard stolen from the market - danced break ‘pon the street
We never knew our fathers
So to get a couple dollars
Working from an early age was only way to proceed
Now kids have gotten older
Roll callers, brief cases, folders
We scattered across the world and advancing indeed
But lately I heard rumours:
Not every had ‘nough prudence
And those who stayed in hood were stuck deep in the sh*t
The most affected were
Those who got nothing to tense for
And those who used to have just all what they need
Boys have gone really wild
There is nothing left of style
Have become popos and winos
Wives ugly as sin
Broken
Nozes
Binges
Flaunting
District
Bloated conceit
Someone sleep in the backseat
So many classy boys are lost on brutal an merciless streets
Life’s tricky…
First you’re on the wave, but then outta flow
Now you splash out - tomorrow out of dough
Thinking you are tough and getting punch in the lower jaw
Fall in love with perfect 10 - she turns into such a hoe
(It’s gotta be hurting:
Nothing is certain!
Go lift the curtain!)
Were just having both feet on the floor
And here you’re clutching at any straw
Nobody is without flaw, but if your know your chances are low
It’s not about drawing short and long
Don’t sit around or you will end up walking flat broke in the raw
I always knew
It’s heavy to get on with me - I’m not standard
Do not give a f**k ‘bout emolument
Amazed at the patience - my lady is saintly!
I would set up a monument!
«Surrounded by issues» my name
Oh how I wish set it on flame!
But on the other hand, sh*t knows well how to stimulate
For real there is only one belay:
You gotta choose what awakes love, otherwise can not reach the end
Think a world was made by gifted people - bullsh*t, stop pretend
Get your ass up, f**k authorities - no one knows what you can!
Riding on dubs ain’t mean that you really have weight
You can bench press 80, but that won't save you from blade
Thinking you are major, but don’t be hasty my mate
Don’t overestimate
We barely can say
That we manage this game!
(Feel the faith inside
Keep head high, do not give up!
F**k them all - it’s your life!
Don’t waste time, it’s all in your hands!)
(It’s gotta be hurting:
Nothing is certain!
Go lift the curtain!)
