Over Before It Began

[Verse 1]
Overwhelmed and underpaid
Dreams are cast on better days
Lady, please, oh, let it lay right down here next to me
And I will make you promises I don't know that I can keep

[Pre-Chorus]
And at the end of the day
It don't matter either way

[Chorus]
If you're gonna put a gun to my head
I'll give you straight talk, mister, 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

[Verse 2]
Memorized and paralyzed
Mistakes were made and been revised
Uh, I run to look busy, you wonder what I do, do you?
The truth is I don't know but I hope to soon, to soon

[Pre-Chorus]
And at the end of the day
It don't matter either way

[Chorus]
If you're gonna put a gun to my head
I'll give you straight talk, mister, 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
Ooh-ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
And at the end of the day
It don't matter either way

[Chorus]
If you're gonna put a gun to my head
I'll give you straight talk, mister, 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

[Outro]
Ooh
Ha-ha
Ha-ha
