Begin
Dr.Overdrive Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always thought I'd be the one to fit right in
Never scared but truly missing what's within
To think I've battled everything, I'm tired of the sins
I'm so tired of the things you say, girl where do I begin
Where do I begin
Where do I begin
Where do I begin
Where do I begin

They say to start from the beginning
I'm trying to make it work but she's trying to make a living
She tried to make it hurt so I turned into a villain, it's killing, shawty was sipping on penicillin
Show me the cards that you dealing
Show me the part that I'm missing
Give me my heart that you stealing
Plot a trip for the start, new beginnings
I always thought I'd be the one to fit right in
Never scared but truly missing what's within
To think I've battled everything, I'm tired of the sins
I'm so tired of the things you say girl where do I begin
Where do I begin
Where do I begin
Where do I begin
Where do I begin
They always knew I'd be the one to fit right in
I was never scared but truly missing what's within
To think I've battled everything, I'm tired of sins
I'm so tired of the things you say girl where do I begin
Where do I begin
Where do I begin
Where do I begin
Where do I begin

May the odds be ever in you're favor
Because the odds were always against me
