Mind of Overkill
OMB Peezy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aye,
Smoke a blunt get in your zone nigga
Thuggn all night, cuz you don′t wanna go home nigga
Struggling got your family stressing
Hard to get alone with em'
I just wanna talk up, please pick up the phone nigga

State-to-state grinding say they called me about another pistol
I need some protection why the system trying to fuck a nigga
I am with the DA they want me to become another victim
Just because I′m black and cuz my age, you say imma killa

On my pants I done seen badder drugs since I was little
If I'm wrong for being me you should have left me at the hospital
Streets cold, jail cell colder
You know they out to get us
Look at us like monkeys, you want to dump me cuz I'm out the middle

Traphouse smokers everywhere I′m in love with the dope
If I flop II ain′t gonna cry, I know where Imma go
Straight to the block,
Slanging those rocks ready to kick in your throat
If it wasn't for this mike I′ll be in jail playing dominoes

Time go slow, so many tears I can't cry no more
I′m feeling old, these niggas don't know what they riding for
Before I blow I′ll make sure you know what you dying for
And as for these hoes, you think you slick but I'mma slide on
I'm finna go, back to the basics
All my steps I′m retracing, patiently waiting to breakthrough
Ignation, honestly I don′t feel like I'm the greatest and
I don′t feel like I made it
Bitch I'll made it when all my people living good on some acres

I influence these young niggas to be theyselves and don′t fake it
Boy don't fake it just be yourself for if it isn′t you gon' hate it
Nigga hit me I'm gonna hot him back
That′s how my grandmama raised me
So i′m lurking with these extensions
Never a fuck nigga play me
Never play under no nigga I couldn't live in the basement
Before I met my first white fan I used to be a racist

But I learnt that life ain′t what it is or what you make it
I ain't crazy but late nights I be up back and forth pacing
I keep thinking mad cooters I think you should be thinking
Never thinkin′ too deep well that's a dumb nigga statement
I can′t remember one time I let a fuck nigga phase me
I tell myself, shit, I feel like a real nigga raised me

Ay, this that soulja life
How we know we wrong if you don't show us right
Movin' without thinking you could lose your life
How you know you strong if you ain′t show your might

Say they want smoke then we gon′ get tonight
Thinkin' i′m crazy but on my bro's you right
Tote my pistol, that′s my baby, I'mma hold you tight
When we pull up together, we gon′ blow they minds (for real)

Ay, this that soulja life
How we know we wrong if you don't show us right
Movin' without thinking you could lose your life
How you know you strong if you ain′t show your might

Say they want smoke then we gon′ get tonight
Thinkin' i′m crazy but on my bro's you right




Tote my pistol, that′s my baby, I'mma hold you tight
When we pull up together, we gon′ blow they mind
