Khari Mateen - Over lyrics

[Hook] [Verse 1] On the block I used to hang on We celebrated every time a n***a came home Poured liquor out when he was on his way home To God and the band just played on We sing along don't let the cops catch us And pray our mothers forgive us And inhale the smoke then drown out our livers And mix it with our tears And somehow it over floods the rivers The pain's never forgotten but somehow we keep rocking and rolling Inspired by true O.G.'s who strolling through the storm Never stop 'til they feel the warm sun rays beaming down on they neck And do it all without breaking they balls or a sweat It's all about respect throw up your set Say it with your chest When you rep where you're from young playa never forget Life's tricky like a game of roulette [Hook] Another day in the life of a young soul trapped in an old soul's eyes Never learned to live life until it's over And we spent those nights under those street lights on the corner shooting dice Never learned to get it right until it's over It's over, it's over it's over It's over, it's over it's over [Verse 2] Old heads talk up the seventies and old slang How they did they thing and how it was all gangs Many wars with cops kicking in n***as doors If you wanted it you had to go all out for yours It feels like twenty-twelve and not much has changed Still see n***as trying to scramble for a little change These n***as getting k**ed over a little change And it's crazy cause n***as don't find this sh** a little strange The pain's never forgotten but somehow we keep rocking and rolling Inspired by true O.G.'s who strolling through the storm Never stop 'til they feel the warm sun rays beaming down on they neck And do it all without breaking they balls or a sweat It's all about respect throw up your set Say it with your chest When you rep where you're from young playa never forget Life's tricky like a game of roulette Ha ha [Hook]
