Overthunk
Eric Bellinger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I ever got a question about how it's supposed to be
I can't ask nobody nothin', really who know more than me?
Really who seen more than me?
Really who make more than me?
I'm just overthinking now
They know who I am and they all got love for me
Kept it gangsta for forever, just call that my energy
I'm just overthinking now

Goin' back and forth and back
Goin' back and forth for what
Conversations with myself
Overthinking is a drug

And I'm overdosing, train off the tracks, locomotion
My way, big, spans like the ocean
Peace be still, ain't no commotion
Hocus pocus, watch them jokers
Keep my focus, 'til the locusts
Swarm, no harm done
'Twan, calm in the middle of the storm
I'm in the eye, also a pupil
Of the game, but don't stay neutral
Follow trends, now that's what you do
Jedi Master, they that booboo
Here that new new, Claimin' True to
Never fake, authenticate who
Fuck a password, hack the hackers
Back to the future, never backwards
Average bashers, new dimensions
Middle classers, losing pensions
Higher taxes, rules for women
Lower learning, lose the children
Lose the feeling

Trying to get it back, I think it's coming to me
I said, trying to get it back, I think it's coming to me

If I ever got a question about how it's supposed to be
I can't ask nobody nothin', really who know more than me?
Really who seen more than me?
Really who make more than me?
I'm just overthinking now
They know who I am and they all got love for me
Kept it gangsta for forever, just call that my energy
I'm just overthinking now

Goin' back and forth and back
Goin' back and forth for what
Conversations with myself
Overthinking is a drug

Old school players to new school fools
But new niggas play without no rules
It's true when I say that I don't lose
The crew been on flame since Tri High School
Barbecue lit, light the coal
Tiptoein' through the two lips on swole
Bold, cold, sometimes throwed
Only when I'm in Texas on Vogues
Candy paint, swangers swangin'
How these entertainers bangin'?
Cut the grass, kill the snakes
Fuck the past, fulfill your fate
'Cause hate don't make the day go great
Them folk gon' think what they gon' think
Just float yo' brain as your think tank
Attack like shark, don't take the bait
Octopuses spill the ink
Pop that pussy, kill the beat
Still a freak of nature when this ballpoint hit this paper
Boomeranging, 'cause I'm

Trying to get it back, I think it's coming to me
I said I'm trying to get it back, I think it's coming to me

If I ever got a question about how it's supposed to be
I can't ask nobody nothin', really who know more than me?
Really who seen more than me?
Really who make more than me?
I'm just overthinking now
They know who I am and they all got love for me
Kept it gangsta for forever, just call that my energy
I'm just overthinking now

Goin' back and forth and back
Goin' back and forth for what

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eric Bellinger's song "Overthunk" describe the mental struggle of overthinking, and the feeling of being stuck in one's head. The first verse questions who knows more about oneself than oneself and reveals the singer's tendency to overthink. They acknowledge their success and the respect they have earned, yet still feel the internal struggle of overthinking. The chorus repeats this idea of overthinking, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves of something. The second verse talks about the dangers of overthinking, labeling it a drug that leads to self-doubt and chaos. The singer attempts to break free from this cycle by focusing on their goals and ignoring the opinions of others.


The second half of the song features a rap verse from The Game, where he speaks about the struggles of the music industry and his own journey. He acknowledges the existence of both old school and new school artists, but also notes that some "new niggas play without no rules." The Game declares that he never loses and his crew has been on top since high school. He advises against dwelling on the negativity and hate of others and urges listeners to focus on their own success.


Overall, the song conveys a message of self-reflection and resilience. It encourages listeners to stay confident and not let their thoughts consume them. While overthinking is a common struggle, it is possible to break free and focus on the positives.
