"Overtime" lyrics

"Overtime"

Oh-oh I, I ain't got nothing to show
I grind 'til I bleed my bones
'Til the wake of night is closed

I arrive back home with the dawn AM
Give my family their daily bread
And then do it all again

I've been working overtime
Trying to earn me what is mine
'Cause we weren't born to live and die
Working overtime all our lives
On this life's assembly line
I got mountains still to climb
I feel my dreams all coming closer
So until my time here is over
I'm working overtime

My daddy lived for job that he never loved
But child I've been saving up
So I can make this shift for us

Brick by brick, I'm gon' build us a legacy
Something worth more than just money
And we can live our destiny

I've been working overtime
Trying to earn me what is mine
'Cause we weren't born to live and die
Working overtime all our lives
On this life's assembly line
I got mountains still to climb
I feel my dreams all coming closer
So until my time here is over
I'm working overtime

Overtime, I'm working overtime (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Overtime, I'm working overtime (on and on now)
Overtime, I'm working overtime (all my life now)

I've been working overtime
Trying to earn me what is mine
'Cause we weren't born to live and die
Working overtime all our lives
On this life's assembly line
I got mountains still to climb
I feel my dreams all coming closer
So until my time here is over
I'm working overtime
