"Over Came Em" lyrics
E-40 & Celly Cel Lyrics
Dirty bath towels in my bathtub
Shared the same bathwater as my lil' bruh
We didn't have scratch, didn't have a buzz
HOA fees didn't apply to us
Hard times, we overcame 'em
Bad times, we overcame 'em
Sad times, we overcame 'em
We made it out but still the same ones
Overcoming hurdles and obstacles, shaking the handle on toilet stools
Broken towel racks, no tissue, use a butter knife, didn't have tools
The soil, I miss you 'cause it shaped and it molded me
Taught me how to be anything that I wanna be
Taught me how to stick to the script and stick to the code
Taught me how the game get cold and never fold
I learned how to scan a nigga just like a QR code
The game can be told and at the same time it could be sold
Uncertain times in the scandalous and triflin' minds
Supposed to be solid ninjas, they stay dropping dimes
Your loved ones will turn on you, it's the sign of the times
I know I said times twice, at the same time it rhymed
Went from illegal to legal, me and my people
We both had it hard, on my brothers and my amigos
I put my family on my shoulders and threw them off in the game
And they said I wouldn't make it but we overcame, I had
Dirty bath towels in my bathtub
Shared the same bathwater as my lil' bruh
We didn't have scratch, didn't have a buzz
HOA fees didn't apply to us
Hard times, we overcame 'em
Bad times, we overcame 'em
Sad times, we overcame 'em
We made it out but still the same ones
Came from the dirt, yeah, we started in the mud
Had to learn quick that it ain't no love
When you in the streets and you run with the thugs
The type of niggas that'll sneak a gun in the club
The type of niggas that'll mean mug when they see you
The type of niggas that'll bust slugs when they see you
I'm talking 'bout hittas that'll make you look see-through
If you ain't 'bout that, then I wouldn't wanna be you
Young and hardheaded, bald headed, dreaded
We was outside, some shit I regretted
Young shit, dumb shit, we was having fun shit
Everything you can do, we already done, bitch
Living life and learning lessons
Covered in prayer and counting blessings
Good times, bad times, always something
Made me strong, I wouldn't trade it for nothing
Dirty bath towels in my bathtub
Shared the same bathwater as my lil' bruh
We didn't have scratch, didn't have a buzz
HOA fees didn't apply to us
Hard times, we overcame 'em
Bad times, we overcame 'em
Sad times, we overcame 'em
We made it out but still the same ones
Shared the same bathwater as my lil' bruh
We didn't have scratch, didn't have a buzz
HOA fees didn't apply to us
Hard times, we overcame 'em
Bad times, we overcame 'em
Sad times, we overcame 'em
We made it out but still the same ones
Overcoming hurdles and obstacles, shaking the handle on toilet stools
Broken towel racks, no tissue, use a butter knife, didn't have tools
The soil, I miss you 'cause it shaped and it molded me
Taught me how to be anything that I wanna be
Taught me how to stick to the script and stick to the code
Taught me how the game get cold and never fold
I learned how to scan a nigga just like a QR code

Uncertain times in the scandalous and triflin' minds
Supposed to be solid ninjas, they stay dropping dimes
