lyrics

“The Last Overlook”

Jensen Reed

Chorus

Too blind for myself, now the vision of wealth is on my mind
It reminds of the time before,
Behind everything was how I wanted it to be
And I’ll be damned if I let another survive the days
Left town with my music in my hands
I’ve earned this trip as long as I can
Waiting for the time when I can barely breathe

Verse 1

So check the words from my mouth
We was young but we had heart
And every now and then
I’m moving in and out to depart
Make a difference to the people
Got a brand new start
Heaven sent me to the planet
With a hole in my heart
How times change
Everything is going okay
Then the next day
Your dreams start blowing away
Then the following week
You try to holler and speak
But no one gives a damn
About what you’re going to say
I put my life in the song for the customers
The haters back stage
Knowing they can’t f*** with us
Kids riding in their cars
Spittin my lyrics bar for bar
Telling me I’ll be a star
How many times do I have to say?
How many rhymes do I have to kick
Before they play it?
I got love for the family on the side of the road
Cause ain’t no telling what will happen
When we all get home

Chorus


Verse 2

Stepped out for the first time into the dark
I’m wearing glasses that are blacker
Then the evening starts
Last overlook, read the book, past overdue
It seems we always happen
To be helpless to the truth
So we take and break honesty and fate
Just to feel something that’s real
A little bit longer, a whole lot stronger
Growing up with a purpose
Can never ever be nervous
My eyes are burning in the sun
While the team searches
Through my verses and the purses
Got to find that little something
That just makes it worth it
Cause I deserve it, I paid my dues
Been on the Apollo stage man
Hearing nothing but boos
And that’s the truth
Watered down for nobody
On a constant pursuit
The game’s hot, but they’re all ready
Heavy with the pen, mighty as the sword
While I’m breaking down
All your barriers and doors

Chorus
