“Over My Dead Body” sets the tone of the rest of the album; the battle between God, and oneself. On this track, Ebenezer talks about the struggles he faced growing up that made him almost turn to God.
But in the end, he opts to deal with his struggles on his own, even though he knew that God wouldn...
[Intro]
I am going with the motion
You make it hard to believe
I have been through so much trauma
But you ain't there for me
I am going with the motion
You make it hard to believe
I have been through so much trauma
But you ain't there for me
[Verse 1]
Immigration knocking at the door oh well
Hiding under bumpers in the floors oh well
Heard them coming on the second floor oh well
Are there gonna catch us, we ain't sure oh well
Over my dead body
Over my dead body (nah)
You ain't gonna get by me
You ain't gonna get by me
You can hear my heart skip, ah shit
They out here running up in bedrooms, gun click
We grab each other like don't let go, don't slip
They ain't gone separate us, over my dead body you know
[Hook]
Sometimes I wanna talk to God, he doesn't ever answer me
Sometimes I wanna talk to God, he doesn't ever answer me
Sometimes I wanna talk to God, he doesn't ever answer me
Sometimes I wanna talk to God, he doesn't ever answer me
[Verse 2]
Suffering when we was only kids oh well
Always on the move from crib to crib oh well
Cousin had us sleeping on the streets oh well
Kicked us out we had no where to live oh well
We supposed to be family
We supposed to be family
Wonder why I'm still angry
Wonder why I'm still angry
Daddy woulda run now, not his fault
They take advantage on the run now, almost caught
We need a miracle cause lord knows, that we lost
We took a another L but over my dead body you know
[Hook]
Sometimes I wanna talk to God, he doesn't ever answer me
Sometimes I wanna talk to God, he doesn't ever answer me
Sometimes I wanna talk to God, he doesn't ever answer me
Sometimes I wanna talk to God, he doesn't ever answer me
[Outro]
I am going with the motion
You make it hard to believe
I have been through so much trauma
But you ain't there for me
I am going with the motion
You make it hard to believe
I have been through so much trauma
But you ain't there for me
