Overwhelmed and underpaid
The dreams are cast on better days
Lady please
Lady lay right down here next to me
And I will make you promises I don't know that I can keep
And at the end of the day
It don't matter either way
If you're gonna put a gun to my head
I'll give you straight talk, Missy
But you're wasting your lead
I got opinions that I keep to myself
I was a straight A student 'cause I studied like hell
I look around me, I see cracks in the street
But it don't stop the people here from moving their feet
And it's over
Memorized and paralyzed
Mistakes were made, have been revised
I run to look busy
You wonder what I do, do you?
Truth is I don't know, but I hope to soon
And at the end of the day
It don't matter either way
If you're gonna put a gun to my head
I'll give you straight talk, Missy
But you're wasting your lead
I got opinions that I keep to myself
I was a straight A student 'cause I studied like hell
I look around me, I see cracks in the street
But it don't stop the people here from moving their feet
And it's over before it began
Before it began
And at the end of the day
It don't matter either way
If you're gonna put a gun to my head
I'll give you straight talk, Missy
But you're wasting your lead
I got opinions that I keep to myself
I was a straight A student
I look around me, I see cracks in the street
But it don't stop the people here from moving their feet
And it's over, over, over before it began
