You know, sometimes we go too far
We just end up doing too much
Overdose
We can start fresh in the morning
Long as we don't overdose (Save me)
Overdose, overdose (ooh)
We can start fresh in the morning
Long as we don't overdose (Save me)
Overdose, overdose (ooh)
If I shall die before I wake (ooh)
I pray to the lord, the drugs I take
Don't make my friends have to come to my wake
Don't make me lose every crumb on my plate
This for all the kids that are 18 and over
But their self-esteem is on 8th seat or lower
Please, just wake me up when it's over
It's been the same nightmare over and over
See, we been over masses, we came over from Africa
But overcame the fact that they overpowered the pathages
A classic case of brains over brawn
Buyin' chains to the accountant, your name is overdrawn
So this for every crackhead who overdid it, homes
If you ain't grow up black you wouldn't get it, homes
They left they kid at home, to buy a bag of coke
Now there's a new generation waitin' to overdose
Overdose
We can start fresh in the morning
Long as we don't overdose (Save me, ooh)
Overdose, overdose (ooh)
We can start fresh in the morning
Long as we don't overdose (Save me, ooh)
Overdose, overdose (ooh)
If I shall die before I wake (ooh)
I pray to the lord, the drugs I take
Don't make my friends have to come to my wake
Don't make me lose every crumb on my plate
I wish life was an overnight success story
But heartache tend to write the best stories
The best stories are the ones that's most embarassin'
Every family's got a fiend whose embarrassed them
I got an uncle on my mom's side, we was close
He used to hustle part-time and started shootin' dope
And that's the first step, just do the addition
Twelve more steps, now we dealin' with addiction
If you got addicts in your family, then hold them close
If you got static with your family, then let it go
'Cause now we got our own lil' mans we gotta show the ropes
Or there's a new generation waiting to overdose
Overdose
We can start fresh in the morning
Long as we don't overdose (Save me, ooh)
Overdose, overdose (ooh)
We can start fresh in the morning
Long as we don't overdose (Save me, ooh)
Overdose, overdose (ooh)
If I shall die before I wake, wake (ooh)
All you ever need is yourself (ooh)
I pray to the lord (ooh)
It's easier to blame yourself (ooh, yeah, why)
Overdose
We can start fresh in the morning
Long as we don't overdose
Overdose, overdose
We can start fresh in the morning
Long as we don't overdose
Overdose, overdose
