Artist: Jericho Jackson Album: Elzhi and Khrysis are Jericho Jackson Song: Overthinking Typed by: kirenamloh@msn.com [Elzhi] I try not to overthink But what if backers fronted me with money like I drove a Brink's truck? You outta luck, cause what I'm jottin is career-ending Atmosphere bendin to whose ear lending a fear that they'll see it appear trending on the sites in they web browsers I've dodged bullets, demons, chicks who try to get inside of a celeb trousers to extort 'em - fake pregnancy and post a picture just for likes out of boredom Sometimes I think that could've been me From how I used to spend free time out in NC NY, LA, on trips havin meetings up in Capitol Which could've blew me up and have my haters duckin shrapnel, but It wasn't meant to be, I used to wonder why Collapsin under my, blunders by the time that I undone a tie I had to wear while up in court when I was sued But now I see it's not the size of your problems, it's how it's viewed So I'm thinking, you either change the way you see things or keep poking at a hive and wind up gettin bee stings Cause I was lookin up to d-boys pushin Sebrings A steering wheel and three rings, keep a bank roll and drop a G-string We sing they praises when they serve a time If it's moms who they were servin, would I think that they deserve a dime? Let me think - hell no! And that's off the top like a elbow that fell low from the turnbuckle [Chorus] Or maybe I'm just overthinking Or maybe I'm just overthinking [Elzhi] Everybody got flaws including me, I'll admit that I'm just a kid born in the city where the skinny niggaz die tryin to get fat And sit at, the round table Thinking once I found a down label, we could build a foundation if the ground stable My very first contract I signed jerked me Stuck a toe inside of waters that one would define murky and I almost drowned With bricks tied to both ankles, that's how it all goes down behind the scenes I know what you thinking, "How you slip up if your mind is king?" Know-it-all smarty pants, they would've hemmed your designer jeans I was green with a dream and if it manifested These anorexic pockets would have hundred grand investments My pops wouldn't have to find a job again And maybe my aunties wouldn't be beefed out Cause that's a problem when they sister gone They know she would insist upon Building back up a consistent bond until they not existing on the planet [Chorus] [Elzhi] All these thoughts inside my head keep me up at night I queue a beat, plug in my earbuds, let it bump and write something heavy or is it something light? Do I base it on pumpin white or thoughts about Trump and right-wing conservatives Can talk about these haters and how payback triggers nervousness Revenge is best cold when you serve the dish with no preservatives but Maybe this just ain't the track for that To do the multi-syllables and acrobats, I need knock it out the park Crack the backs with championship back-to-backs Anyone who's tryin to short change me is payin active tax I'm just sayin, niggaz never want to see me win Part of the reason why I've been through these situations I'm in Maybe it's in God's plan and I've reached my fullest potential cause I've felt that I was dealt a odd hand If I play my cards right then I could win it all but, what if I lose myself? Every second that every minute fall [Chorus] "And all so called civilized peoples Have increasingly become crazy and self-destructive We confuse science, words, numbers, symbols, and ideas with the real world Most of us would have rather money than tangible wealth And a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed And to read about it the next day in the newspaper Is oddly, more fun for us than the original event" - Alan Watts
