On the opener and title track to Nothing Happens Overnight, Trav sadly raps a slow track about his old life in the streets and how it was like back then. Whilst reminiscing on his old life, he also drops bars about his life now and gives advice on how to get where you want to be.
[Intro]
(Certified)
[Pre-Chorus]
They say pressure make diamonds (Yeah), pressure plus five (Plus five)
Workin' on my life, had to put in overtime (Yeah)
Get up off my ass, had to get up on my grind (Grind)
Stay patient, stay humble, take time (Take time)
[Chorus]
It won't happen overnight (Night, yeah, yeah)
Nothin' happen overnight (No, no)
Nothin' happen overnight (Yes)
Nothin' happen overnight (No, no)
[Verse 1]
Made my first hunnid G's (G's) for road first (Yeah)
Made a half a milli' ('li), made it up in turf (Turf)
Tell me what's worth (Worth), don't know your worth (Worth)
Where your shit? I got it out the dirt (I did)
80 told me put the drugs down (Down), told me put the guns down
Music is a go now, anythin' can blow now
Just nutted and it slows down (Slows down)
Don't shoot your shot, what you know know? (What you know now?) What you know now? (Yeah, yeah)
They tellin' me, bought strings, and tellin' them my bricks (My bricks)
They tellin' me 'bout lies and I'm tellin' them 'bout piss
Everythin', it take time and patience, everythin' it take time
[Pre-Chorus]
They say pressure make diamonds (Yeah), pressure plus five (Plus five)
Workin' on my life, had to put in overtime (Yeah)
Get up off my ass, had to get up on my grind (Grind)
Stay patient, stay humble, take time (Take time)
[Chorus]
It won't happen overnight (Night, yeah, yeah)
Nothin' happen overnight (No, no)
Nothin' happen overnight (Yes)
Nothin' happen overnight (No, no)
[Verse 2]
They say my daddy tried to rob a bank (No), oh, like two milli' every week
Would have been your getaway, car don't, whenever you need me (Yeah)
When I need to call out for me, yeah, with me
Out to do buy, type of pain to make you cry (Cry)
See me, I'ma stand tall for my daughter job (Job)
My mama died, did this shit for all my dawgs (Dawgs)
This time I call us, one of us, we yellin' for (Yellin' for)
Get obituaries out, like war might come (Bah, bah)
We pull up and end out, they takin' no hand out
'Cause I'm a gladiator, more like Russell Crowe (Crowe)
You ain't got nothin' to show, what you hustle for? (For)
Walk out on my box
[Pre-Chorus]
They say pressure make diamonds (Yeah), pressure plus five (Plus five)
Workin' on my life, had to put in overtime (Yeah)
Get up off my ass, had to get up on my grind (Grind)
Stay patient, stay humble, take time (Take time)
[Chorus]
It won't happen overnight (Night, yeah, yeah)
Nothin' happen overnight (No, no)
Nothin' happen overnight (Yes)
Nothin' happen overnight (No, no)
