Ooo
Oo
Ooo
I keep telling myself that I'm never coming back
But I always do stuff that I know ain't right
Tried a bit of everything, so I know what's nice
Lotta people got some shit they say I should try
Running outta options and I'm bout to run dry

Gimme some of that shit man
I know you know I need it
Got me jonesing like osmosis
Yeah, you got me fiending, ooo
Devil in my veins running through
Can't help but look back on the bandwagon SHOO
Yeah, so what we gon' do?
Yeah, go ahead and do what you like
Imma do what I need to feel alright
I keep telling myself that I'm never coming back
But I keep the bag on me, 10 pounds in the satchel
Nah, don't use that here, better do that in the bathroom, yeah
Roll it up, gimme the green bands
Yeah I know I can't even count up the sins, damn, that I've smoked
I never injected a thing, yeah
Man, I don't know that much more than you know
So what we gon' do?
Yeah, go ahead and do what you like
Imma do what I need to feel alright
I keep telling myself that I'm never coming back

But I keep the bag on me, 10 pounds in the satchel
Nah, don't use that here, better do that in the bathroom, yeah

The lyrics of Y.D.O.T.'s song "Over And Over" present a vulnerable, introspective look into the struggle of addiction. The opening lines, "I keep telling myself that I'm never coming back, but I always do stuff that I know ain't right," reveal a sense of hopelessness and the inability to escape destructive behavior.

Throughout the song, the singer grapples with their inner demons and the pressure from external sources to continue using. The line, "Lotta people got some shit they say I should try," reflects the negative influence of others on their addiction, as well as the social stigma surrounding drug use. Despite this, the singer ultimately acknowledges that they must prioritize their own well-being and do what they need to feel okay, rather than seeking the approval of others.

The repeated phrase, "I keep telling myself that I'm never coming back," highlights the cyclical nature of addiction and the difficulty in breaking free from its grip. The final lines, "But I keep the bag on me, 10 pounds in the satchel. Nah, don't use that here, better do that in the bathroom, yeah," convey a sense of shame and secrecy, as well as a recognition of the dangerous nature of their addiction.
