[Intro] Yeah Overtime [Chorus] I don’t need love, I need time But time don’t wait when the rent behind Phone keep buzzin’, I keep it face down ‘Cause I’m tired of explainin’ why I don’t come around Overtime, overtime Still broke with the lights online If I say “I’m fine,” I’m lyin’ on God I’m just tryna stay sober when my brain goes dark [Verse 1] Woke up late, stomach tight, same dread Same “how we gon’ do it?” playin’ in my head Cold sink water, splash twice, stare hard Tryna look like a man when I feel like a scar I got people I love that I don’t text back Not ‘cause I don’t care—‘cause I hate that fact That I’m the one that’s supposed to be solid But I’m holdin’ together with a thread and a promise My bank app talk reckless, red numbers, loud I close it like that fixes it, then I pace my house Everybody got advice, nobody got cash And “keep your head up” don’t put gas in the tank Eight hours turn twelve when you’re scared of fallin’ Smile at the boss while your chest start crawlin’ I’m not lazy, I’m cooked—there’s a difference, bro I just don’t post my problems for the algorithm [Chorus] I don’t need love, I need time But time don’t wait when the rent behind Phone keep buzzin’, I keep it face down ‘Cause I’m tired of explainin’ why I don’t come around Overtime, overtime Still broke with the lights online If I say “I’m fine,” I’m lyin’ on God I’m just tryna stay sober when my brain goes dark [Verse 2] They say “heal” like it’s one clean step Like you don’t wake up right back in it yet Some days I’m a saint, some days I’m a jerk Some days I don’t feel nothin’ ‘til I’m back at work I got love in my life but I don’t act right I get quiet when I’m hurt, then I pick a fight Then I hate myself after, swear I’ll do better Then I slip the same way like it don’t remember I keep “almost” in my mouth like it tastes sweet Almost paid, almost free, almost peace Almost there, almost good, almost changed Almost is a trap with a friendly name So if I’m distant, don’t call me fake I’m just carryin’ weight I don’t know where to place I’m not proud of the numb, but I’m learnin’ to stay One day at a time, no games, no play [Outro] Overtime… that’s the anthem If you feel me, don’t clap—just understand it
