Got me thinkin' so deep, I'm in my conscience
Got me doin' these drugs, it help me balance (shawty, I'm geeked, yeah)
I ain't tryna blame you but this shit a challenge (oh, what? What?)
I live my life like a kid with allowance
My life so fast, I need me a down bitch (fast, hold on)
Anarchy tatted under my armpit
Don't make me start a fuckin' riot
Sometimes this shit get so excitin' (what? What?)
We ridin' 'round, we startin' riots (what? What?)
We rob the bank 'cause we want profit (damn)
We took our shit and kept it silent (what? What? What?)

My boy shot at them niggas and he rollin' off molly (catchin' them bodies, yeah)
We fucked up the kickbacks, fucked up they parties (fucked up they parties, yeah)
I jump out the rope, I feel like Jeff Hardy (feel like Jeff Hardy)

And I took off with them m's and I stuck to the code (what? What?)





Damn, ooh, yeah

Overall Meaning

In Playboi Carti's song "Over," the lyrics describe a relationship that has changed for the worse. The singer feels like he is no longer in love with his partner and is struggling to find a way to balance out his emotions. The singer blames no one but himself for the situation and explains how the thrill of doing drugs has helped him cope. He embraces the life of a king who has the freedom to do what he wants and is not held to the same standards as a commoner. The chorus repeats the phrase, "How the fuck we got to where we started?" which highlights how far the relationship has deteriorated since it has lost its spark.


As the verse continues, the singer describes how he and his friends have engaged in illegal activities, such as starting a riot and robbing a bank, for profit. The singer boasts about his life, full of tattoos and weed smoking. However, he also explains how he is constantly looking over his shoulder in anticipation of violence. The singer's lyrics are nihilistic and describe a world where he does not trust anyone and views all relationships as fake.
