Overtime Lyrics by One Ghost

2017

[Intro: One Ghost]

Yeah, mic check one two, testing, yeah, yeah we’re good we’re good, yeah

[Verse 1: One Ghost]

I been killing every beat in my sight, everyone with a mic
It's crazy when you know what you’re gonna do with your life
There's no mistaking it, god gave me the will to fight
Think of D12 this is not the devil’s night!

My style is heavenly so people copy it lovingly
Fluctuations make every artist now rise and fall suddenly
Raising hell I'm going to the top publicly
If you put me down then I'll kill myself just to make you look up to me yeah!

“Buy it, break it, roll it, light it, smoke it, inhale it
Write it, record it, mix it, master it, press it up, unveil it”
Feel like I've been waiting forever, forever to get my shot
Under pressure so I thought I'd mix in something logic brought!

Yeah, pick up the flow I'll give it a go, It is the time to listen to Ghost
Everyone doubted me now they are proud of me look how they count on me get it all out of me
Nice with it, tight writtens, I'm driven, I said it
Going off the top like game of thrones, they get be-headed!

New York in my heart boy! There he go no school boy
Yeah infinite skill, phenomenal will, go for the kill the flow is so ill, how does it feel?
Somebody tell me though how does it feel?
Rest in peace guru this track here got mass appeal!

[Hook: One Ghost]

They can see that I got something here to prove
I didn't come to win and I didn't come to lose
You said you keep it real but we know that ain't you
I came into the game to give you something that is true, Ghost!

They can see that I got something here to prove
I didn't come to win and I didn't come to lose
You said you keep it real but we know that ain't you
I came into the game to give you something that is true, Oakes!

[Verse 2: Ryan Oakes]

They tell us that we’re out of control, they all too composed
Shut up bitch! I’m in my zone, I’m probably gonna explode
If you been sitting on that throne just know I’m coming for your throat!
Turning mainstream rappers broke so hit the deck I’m bout to blow!

Everybody taking notes hoping they can go in and copy
I’m making every famous rapper sounding like it’s a hobby
These labels blowing up the phone I’m screaming get this cash off me
I’m putting half inside the bank and blowing half on the posse

They watch me but I never stress it, that on switch I pressed it
Now it never turns off I’m always working unless it
Gets taken from me I’m reckless I’m eating rappers for breakfast
Up in this over saturated rap game and I’m restless

My preference would be cash I’m in the cut just like a gash
So I can take out all the trash up in this game I’m bringing back
Real motherfuckin’ music with a purpose
Everybody hating on me back then is wordless

I been working with that overtime now the music’s more refined
I don’t think I’ll ever bind myself to anybody’s mind
I think I’m in love with mine so all I do is fucking grind
And go to sleep then wake up and repeat and do the same thing all the time Oakes!

[Hook: Ryan Oakes]

They can see that I got something here to prove
I didn't come to win and I didn't come to lose
You said you keep it real but we know that ain't you
I came into the game to give you something that is true, Ghost!

They can see that I got something here to prove
I didn't come to win and I didn't come to lose
You said you keep it real but we know that ain't you
I came into the game to give you something that is true, Oakes!
