Over My Shoulder
M.E.B Lyrics

In a drought, a nigga had it
Despite the lack of resources, I managed to make something out of nothing

Half a brick, I make some magic
With only a small portion of drugs, I am able to create something incredible and profitable

Cut that shit and feed the masses
I distribute the drugs to a large number of people, providing for their desires and needs

In the streets, that's with a passion
Engaging in illegal activities in the neighborhood brings me great satisfaction and fulfillment

Grindin', bro, I'm fuckin' active
I work tirelessly and intensely to achieve my goals and succeed in my endeavors

You won't even understand
The depth and complexity of my experiences and lifestyle are beyond your comprehension

Another day, another rubber band
Every day brings a new opportunity to accumulate wealth and success

Toaster turns you into jam
Engaging in violent confrontations can lead to severe consequences, even death

Thirty, it don't fuckin' jam
My firearm is reliable and will never fail me in dangerous situations

Fuck a Grammy, I weigh all these grams
I prioritize the profits I earn from selling drugs over any form of recognition or awards

For the coke, my brothers in the jam
The legal consequences of drug trafficking have led some of my close friends to be incarcerated

Shit ain't the same, I miss my niggas
The circumstances have changed, and I feel a deep longing for my friends who are no longer here

We them neighborhood villains
Within our community, we are considered the rebellious figures engaging in illegal activities

They know we way too hot to handle, we sellin' drugs and bustin' triggers
The reputation of our group precedes us as we openly engage in drug dealing and violent actions

They say that money change your heart, but bein' broke made me colder, colder
Contrary to popular belief, it was actually my experience of poverty that hardened my emotions and character

They say when money comes in quick, you gotta look over your shoulder (look over your shoulder)
When acquiring wealth rapidly, it is necessary to remain cautious and vigilant for potential threats or enemies

Yeah, shoulder (look over your shoulder)
Continuously being aware of one's surroundings and potential dangers is crucial

Before that jewelry, buy them blickies, if they kill you, then it's over (over)
Instead of prioritizing material possessions like jewelry, it is wiser to invest in firearms for self-defense, as losing one's life would be irreversible

Put some respect up on my name (yeah)
Demanding recognition and admiration for my reputation and achievements

Don't hate the player, hate the game
Rather than resenting me for my actions, direct your dissatisfaction towards the flawed system that allows for such opportunities

Givin' out these pictures with no frames
Promoting myself and my image without any limitations or boundaries

He seen a nitty, look for veins (veins)
Witnessing someone who is addicted to drugs, searching for their veins to inject the substance

Hundred on the dresser and a hundred on the way (way)
Having a large sum of money readily available and even more expected to arrive soon

Fuck you, bitch, I'm paid (paid, yeah)
Asserting my financial status and independence, dismissing any derogatory remarks

Wake up, shit (shit)
Realizing the harsh realities of life and the need to take action in order to succeed

I really have to go and get my cake up, bitch
I am fully committed to pursuing financial success and will do whatever it takes to achieve it

I don't have time for no relationships
Romantic involvements are not a priority for me as I am solely focused on my financial goals

I just need this money, then I'm good, that's it
My contentment and satisfaction in life solely rely on accumulating wealth, nothing else

If I make mistakes, then I'll own that shit
I take responsibility for any errors or misjudgments I may make and acknowledge my faults

I'll own that shit, you know what I'm sayin'? (Facts)
I fully accept the consequences of my actions, expressing confidence and certainty

My hands been dirty, girl, I'm workin'
Engaging in illicit activities has caused my hands to be tainted, but it is a necessary part of my occupation

I be trappin' 'til the mornin' (mornin', yeah)
I am actively involved in drug dealing and illegal enterprises throughout the night until the early hours of the morning

They don't love you whilst you're grindin' (yeah)
People often do not appreciate or support your endeavors until you achieve a certain level of success

You just gotta stay focused (yeah, yeah)
Maintaining concentration and perseverance is vital to overcome obstacles and achieve desired outcomes

'Cause they'll respect you if there's motion (yeah, yeah)
Others will hold admiration and regard for you if they witness your continuous progress and ambition

Now I've been whippin' up the potion (yeah, yeah)
I have been skillfully concocting a powerful mixture or product in order to maximize profits

Hit them still straight out the rover (yeah, yeah)
Carrying out criminal activities swiftly and efficiently, using a high-end vehicle for quick getaways

And I know I'm gettin' closer
I am aware that I am steadily progressing and inching closer towards my goals

You might see me on a poster
As my success and notoriety increase, there is a possibility of my image being displayed publicly

I'm on the block, I'm with the vultures
I am present in the neighborhood among individuals who prey on others for their own gain

Buyin' Glocks and revolvers
Purchasing firearms, specifically handguns and other weapons commonly used in violent scenarios

My niggas roll with them toasters
My close associates are armed with firearms for protection and potential aggression

If you ever did me wrong, I don't give out no cold shoulders (yeah)
If anyone has wronged or betrayed me, I do not respond with indifference or avoidance, but rather with direct confrontation

I just bring the fuckin' heater, get the whole place roastin' (yeah)
In retaliation or defense, I am armed with a firearm that will create chaos and panic in the entire location

I get money, different continents
My financial endeavors expand across various countries and continents, generating profits regardless of geographical boundaries

Goin' coast to coast with it
I am involved in illegal activities across the entire country, from one coast to the other

Really into ownership
I am passionate about amassing wealth and acquiring ownership of valuable assets

If I can't keep a bitch, you know that I ain't forcin' it (yeah)
If I am unable to maintain a romantic relationship, I do not attempt to force it, recognizing that it may not align with my priorities

Whippin' up, MasterChef
I skillfully manipulate and prepare illegal substances, similar to the expertise of a talented chef

Build a spliff, Rasta spliff
Rolling a marijuana joint, specifically in a way associated with Rastafarian culture

You know I ain't passin' in it
I do not share or pass the joint to others, indicating possessiveness or exclusivity over the drug

Got about two hundred kicks
I possess around two hundred pairs of sneakers

More than Jackie Chan and them
I own a larger collection of sneakers than even the famous actor Jackie Chan and his acquaintances

And I sold a hundred boxes
I successfully distributed one hundred rectangles of an illegal substance

That was just a fuckin' M
The profit I made from selling those substances was equivalent to a million (M) dollars

Kill you, then it's over
If someone harms you to the point of death, it will be the end for you

Over
The finality of death
