Over before it began

Overwhelmed and under paid
Dreams are cast on better days
Lady please, oh let it lay
Right down here next to me
And I won't make you promises
I don't know that I can keep

At the end of the day it don't matter either way
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

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

At the end of the day it don't matter either way
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

Oooohh ooh

At the end of the day it don't matter either way
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
