Overcome
U-Gene Lyrics

For you, for you, for you, for you, for yooouu
I did it all for you, I sacrificed everything for you

yooouuu, ouuuuu, ouuuuu
You're the one I did it for, you're the reason behind everything

I made it, for you, for you, for you, and you and you
I achieved success for you, for all the people who supported me

I'ma open book today, read it and weep
Today, I'm exposing my vulnerabilities and emotions, read it and feel the depth of my words

Why judge me by my cover, open up and just see
Don't judge me based on appearances, take the time to truly understand me

I ain't at peace with myself
I feel internally conflicted and troubled

I had thoughts puttin' that piece to myself, thoughts I couldn't keep to myself, Bunch
I've had thoughts of self-harm that I couldn't keep hidden, Bunch

It ain't easy to say, feel like I'm drownin', feel like they keep me at bay
It's difficult to express, I feel overwhelmed and suffocated by those around me

Why they keep me around if they gone keep bein' this way
Why do they choose to keep me in their lives if they continue to treat me poorly

I let that shit go on for too long, true colors reveal themselves now I see what you on
I allowed mistreatment for too long, but now I see your true intentions and who you truly are

It hurt the soul dearly, really, we were family, feel me
It deeply hurt my soul, we were like family, understand the pain I'm feeling

Been friends so long, thought we were cousins in elementary
We were friends for such a long time, it felt like we were family since elementary school

Clean off you sent me like we were in London
You cut ties with me abruptly, as if we were in London parting ways

"Off you go!" Just sendin' me off some more, like
You're continuously pushing me away, sending me off without care

That shit is OV like Preach and Cochise
That situation is over and done with, just like the characters Preach and Cochise

Time really fly in Englewood Cooley High
Time passes quickly in Englewood Cooley High, life moves swiftly

Sometimes it's so hard to say goodbye
Parting ways can be incredibly difficult at times

Friends and enemies, it's either them or me
In this world, you're either with me as a friend or against me as an enemy

"Why you wanna off--?" Aye G, I'm gettin' to that nigga
"Why do you want to get rid of me?" Hey G, I'll confront that person

All my life, I felt like a sit in the back nigga
Throughout my life, I've always felt like an overlooked individual

What the fuck you know about feelin' like that nigga
You don't understand what it's like to constantly feel invisible

Everybody like you Bunch, that's what it seem to me
Everyone seems to like you Bunch, that's the impression I get

Everything that you invited to, it seem free to me
Everything you're a part of seems effortless and uncomplicated to me

Niggas want you around and you lighten the mood
People enjoy your presence as you bring positivity and lighten the atmosphere

Plus you live what you rap about and write in them views
And not only do you embody the lifestyle you rap about, but your lyrics resonate with the audience

Me? I get an inch, for you? Miles they goin' through
I receive minimal support, while you receive overwhelming support and love

I know you know it bro, and I can talk to you like this because you know you bro
I know you understand these struggles, and that's why I can open up to you

My mans, 100 grands wouldn't want me to end it all
My friends, even if I had a hundred thousand dollars, they wouldn't want me to take my own life

So I thought I talk to you if there's no tomorrow
That's why I'm sharing my thoughts with you, as if there's no future

Man yo ass tweakin' folks, Like G, what the fuck bro
Man, you're acting strange, G, what's going on?

Stop talkin' to me bout this lame ass shit
Don't keep discussing this trivial and unimportant topic with me

You ungrateful, goofy bitch or maybe I'm just not prepared
You're unappreciative and foolish, or maybe I'm just not ready to handle this

To talk about some goofy shit like I'm some mothafuckin' square
I'm not ready to engage in silly conversations and act like a fool

You so mothafuckin' blessed nigga, you just unaware
You have so many blessings in your life, but you're oblivious to them

Since you my nigga, fuck it, let's peel back a layer
Because you're my friend, let's uncover a deeper layer of ourselves

Fuck them goofy niggas, that be on my dick
Forget those annoying individuals who are constantly bothering me

I only fuck with real niggas that be on they shit
I only associate with genuine individuals who are focused and driven

Niggas who know who they are, niggas who know who they is
People who have a strong sense of self and know their identity

Cause everything else just external
Because everything else is superficial and insignificant

Now I never been suicidal, but surely depressed
I've never contemplated suicide, but I have definitely experienced depression

You know all I know is lost, I can hardly catch my breath
I feel like everything I knew is gone, and it's difficult to breathe

I'm sorry how I came on, I know I tweaked
I apologize for my behavior, I know I acted strangely

But the way you talk about the future is so bleak
But your pessimistic outlook on the future is disheartening

Like, you ain't got, opportunities, resources, access
It seems like you have limited opportunities, resources, and access

You care about the niggas round yo mothafuckin' address, nigga you backwards
You prioritize the people in your immediate vicinity, but that mindset is backward

And not to gaslight, make light of your problems
I don't want to dismiss or undermine your issues

But I had like, 4 niggas fall just this autumn, but you know
But I recently had four friends pass away, but I know you already knew about it

But I'm glad we talkin' and I, I never could say the, the rights things
But I'm glad we're having this conversation, and I've always struggled with expressing myself properly

But I'm always down to listen bro and like, shit cause like
But I'm always here to listen, bro, because

You leave tomorrow, you gone pay for the funeral
If you were to leave tomorrow, you would have your funeral expenses covered

You got that shit put up so OG 'nem, they ain't gotta sell shit for the burial folks
You saved up enough money so our older friends won't have to sell anything for the funeral

You gone do yo rounds, tell, ight bro, I love you man, just, just keep talkin' to me cause Like
You'll make the necessary arrangements, tell everyone I love them, and please, please keep communicating with me because

I might not be the best muhfucka to talk to, so I'm just start listenin' bro
I might not be the best person to talk to, so I'll just listen to you, bro
