Never
Overseer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I came in the building
I just wanted something better for me and my children
Than the hate mixed with anger I'm cocking my banger
My enemies are in danger even total strangers
Sneaky bastards want to flame us
I know that they watching
Arrogance when they speak
Like no one can stop them

I'm hearing voices in my head telling me to pop'em
Determination and frustration and that'll drop'em
Blowing up the AK I'm ready to chop'em
Tell the cops to bring buckets get ready to mop'em
I came from the bottom
I tried to be peaceful
In the belly of the beast with the virus and meet you
It's fucked up that's the way they treating my people
Life is like a horror flick but I'm making a sequel
Where the bullets grow teeth get hungry and eat you
Where the angels'll greet you
And I'd die for my people so my children get treated as equal

I, I never wanted you
I took a chance on the other side but nobody survived
Everyone was gone

I never wanted you
I was alive for the second time but nobody survived
Everyone was gone

They keep telling me war is the answer
It's a disease of the spirit
It's more than just cancer
It runs through the blood deeply
These cowards are sneaky
They try 'n keep me quiet from starting a riot
I try to be silent
The solution is violence
Couldn't see it any other way
Bust a shot, one time for my run-away
To all my kids who was used ans abused
To my teenage mothers who was young and confused
To my fatherless children being born by the millions
This is more than just a little noise
I got a bullet for every child molester that ever touched a little boy
You sick bastards!
Your punishment's coming fast and the system is hectic
I mean every word it's not just a record
It's seems like ever since they dropped the towers
Everybody's been abusing they powers
what's real!

I, I never wanted you
I took a chance on the other side but nobody survived
Everyone was gone

I never wanted you
I was alive for the second time but nobody survived
Everyone was gone

Oh no, they don't give a damn about us
Oh no, they can'are give a damn about us

I'm hearing thoughts urging me to shoot them

Determination and frustration and that'll drop'em
My determination and frustration will lead to their downfall

I'm prepared to use an AK-47 to attack them

Tell the cops to bring buckets get ready to mop'em
The police should bring cleaning supplies to clean up the aftermath of the attack

I came from the bottom
I came from a difficult past

I tried to be peaceful
I attempted to resolve things peacefully

In the belly of the beast with the virus and meet you
In this dangerous situation with the virus and meeting you

It's fucked up that's the way they treating my people
It's terrible how my community is being treated

Life is like a horror flick but I'm making a sequel
Life feels like a continuation of a terrible movie, but I'm determined to change the ending

I, I never wanted you

I took a chance on the other side but nobody survived
I hoped for a better situation, but it didn't work out

Everyone was gone
Everyone I hoped to be there was gone

They keep telling me war is the answer
People encourage me to believe that war is the solution

It's a disease of the spirit
It's a harmful and toxic way of thinking

It's more than just cancer
It's even worse than a deadly illness

It runs through the blood deeply
It's deeply ingrained in a person's character

These cowards are sneaky
These individuals are deceitful and cowardly

They try 'n keep me quiet from starting a riot
They attempt to silence me to prevent me from inciting a riot

I try to be silent
I attempt to remain quiet

The solution is violence
The only solution is using violence

Couldn't see it any other way
I can't imagine another solution

Bust a shot, one time for my run-away
Fire one shot for my lost loved one

To all my kids who was used ans abused
To all the children who have been mistreated and exploited

To my teenage mothers who was young and confused
To the teenage mothers who were young and inexperienced

To my fatherless children being born by the millions
To the countless children without fathers

This is more than just a little noise
This is a significant problem that requires action

I got a bullet for every child molester that ever touched a little boy
I have a desire for vengeance against every child molester who's ever harmed a child

You sick bastards!
You disgusting, despicable individuals!

Your punishment's coming fast and the system is hectic
You'll be punished soon, and the legal system is in chaos

I mean every word it's not just a record
I genuinely believe everything I'm saying, not just writing lyrics

It's seems like ever since they dropped the towers
It appears that since the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers

Everybody's been abusing they powers
Everyone in power has been abusing their authority

Oh no, they don't give a damn about us
They don't care about us

Oh no, they can'are give a damn about us
They can't be bothered to care about us
