It's Not Over
Chaka Khan with LeCrae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like you're living on borrowed time
You think that you can solve them
You can still get heaven on the line
I'ma light a candle
Show you you can handle
Anything that takes your breath away
So don't you be nervous
By your head, it might be time to pray
(Can't stop now)
No runnin' away
You got some living to do
(Can't stop now)
It's never too late
You got to prove it
It's not over, over
It's not over, over
(It's not over)
It's not over, over
(It's not over)
It's not over, over
(Over)
Searching for a miracle
See it if you open up your eyes
Rushing like a waterfall
Cleanses you and bathes you in your life
I'ma light a candle
Show you you can handle
Anything that takes your breath away
So don't you be nervous
We are still in service
By your head, it might be time to pray
(Can't stop now)
No runnin' away
You got some living to do
(Can't stop now)
It's never too late
You got prove it to you
It's not over, over
It's not over, over
(You're not alone)
It's not over, over
(Over)
It's not over, over
Yeah, I know what they told you
But hold on, ya, it ain't over
Your heart's hard tryin' to back it down
But you done come too far to start backing now and
You probably got a whole lot of questions
But sometimes not knowing is a blessing
So hold on, pray hard
The sun rise with a new great start
The world is yours, don't be afraid
Just lift your heart and walk this way
Believe me, there will come a day
But not today, no, not today
(Can't stop now)
No runnin' away
You got some living to do
(Can't stop now)
Never too late
You got to prove it
It's not over, over
It's not over, over
(It's not over)
It's not over, over
It's not over, over
Over
Over, over, over, over, over
Over
Over, over, over, over, over
Over
The lyrics of LeCrae's "It's Not Over" speaks about having problems in life and the feeling of never being able to solve them, but the chorus reminds us that it's not over yet. We have to keep going and not give up. The opening lines, "Know that you got problems, Feels like you're living on borrowed time You think that you can solve them You can still get heaven on the line" reminds us that we all have problems and challenges, which can often feel like we're living on borrowed time. But we have to remember that we have the strength to solve them, and we can find solace in our faith.
LeCrae talks about lighting a candle, which is a metaphor for illuminating the way for someone through difficult times. He is telling us that we can handle anything that takes our breath away and reminds us that we are still in service. By the end of the song, we're told that we can't run away, and we have living to do. It's never too late to start, and we've got to prove it to ourselves.
The song concludes with a positive message of hope and perseverance, telling us to hold on, pray hard, and believe that there will come a day when things will be better. The world is ours, and we should not be afraid to live our lives to the fullest.

Current, Fresh, Inspirational.... and these vocals! Chaka Khan is and will always be the best that ever did it! This song shows that she still has her ear to the ground and listens to trends while maintaining her musical integrity and gives her TRUE fans what they want. She is about to smash these charts UP! And that voice... lawd hammercy! Lecrae is cool... but I could have done without it. Im gonna go buy this ten times.
