"Over" lyrics
Navy Blue & Mike Shabb Lyrics
Dring, dring
(Over)
[Mike Shabb:]
I went through nightmares and scary episodes
I spent the light years smokin' dope at home
Reflectin' light, mirrors on broken stove
I was right there when they—
I was right there when they buried bro
Slime world forever, keep it dirty nose
When I leave the globe, picture me in all designer clothes
Picture me laying down with a line of hoes
Screamin', "Adiós," they gon' forever rep my name in the body, oh
Twelve lookin' at me like I hold a John Gotti robe
Grindin' for this paper like— runnin' with no cardio
Got my hands on a few bricks like Spider-Man
My shooters ask twice like Pfizer plan
Been a student of this game, I kept a rising hand
Never left school without my vitamins
We did it by our own bloodshed and tears
I was all alone, I was never scared
We was roamin' in the darkness, lookin' for a flare
This shit hard to get over, like an older fear
Nigga took a hit in his girlfriend Cartiers
Drop 50 like I'm in my Vince Carter years
I'm Tracy on LA game, all backboards, I bring my A-game
I bring my A-game, just to prove a point
[Navy Blue:]
Whichever way the scales shift, the cripple's where the tail ends
Lift the veil and get the fuck out, if it isn't now, then where, when?
Karma is a well, you fucked around and fell in, you held the hand and heard the death whisper
The loneliness atone, but when it roam, you gotta wrong right
Nigga try and bargain with his own life
It get risky, tryna roll the dice, take a chance
On my Nicolas Anelka, out in France, I'm on my Zinedine
Niggas turn to me when they need answers
I grieve my baba on some Black Panther
Every night, I find a light that casts a shadow on my grandeur
Bodies swingin' in the gallows, walk on water when it's shallow
Who will lead and who will follow, like, Moses with the cattle
Niggas slither, I could hear 'em rattle, uh
Tony Parker how I'm sortin' these assists
And when they hit, it'll bang instead of flames from my wits
Nigga, if they ever pitch, I'm gon' be swingin' for the stars
Stacking brick after brick after brick, until the wall built
Fall ill and recover, nigga, we've suffered, all in
Can't fall in, I can't repeat nothin'
Fall ill, recover, nigga, we suffered, all in
I can't fall in, I can't repeat nothin'
Lord, if you can, save me from that man
Don't let him make a pulp out of me
But, the Lord, he was not quick
The Lord raised up a stick and beat the living hell out of me
And I didn't understand
Why God don't protect a man from police brutality
Being poor and Black, I have no weapon to strike back
So who but the Lord can protect me?
We'll see
