L.E.Smallz - Overlooked Lyrics

Sometimes as a soldier, you get knocked off your track by things that happen in life
You get knocked off your focus by struggles in life
Keep your head up. Let's go
Yall didn't believe in us when we was down, so don't come around when we up

Didn't give it up, was down on luck, we focused up until we came up
Now we got blessings, work for more than we'll ever need now
We got blessings, blessings
From 35th and Cottage Grove, buried like a pot of gold

Really from the low, and we ain't have a lot of clothes
Granny in the kitchen, quoting scriptures from the Bible
Saying Jesus love you, but we living in survival
So I headed out the door and heard a fiend ask for change

Head in the sky, cause I'm praying for the same
Reaching in my pockets, man, I barely had a dollar
Trying to find direction, need another map to follow
If you looking for a blessing, gotta wait in line

And you can have the things you want, you gotta take your time
Put yourself in different circles, elevate your thinking
Stack your paper, life ain't all about smoking and drinking
Don't get ahead of yourself, but separate from others

Keep your circle a circle and hustle with your brothers
Put your head on the swivel and keep your brain attached
Cause they'll wait for you down, and that's when they attack
Y'all didn't believe in us when we was down

So don't come around when we up
Didn't give it up, was down on luck
We focused up until we came up
We got blessings

Worked for more than we'll ever need now
We got blessings
Yeah
Blessings

See, it was less about fate, and it was more about timing
And it was less about money, and it was more about rhyming
Had to get on my hustle and get up off of my ass
Had to gather mistakes and leave that shit in the past

Since the beginning of life, I was a seed to be buried
That's a hard pill to swallow when all your sneakers is dirty
Had to drown in the rain, then marinate in the mud
Was in the awkward position, I couldn't move, I was stuck

And then that light hit, now it's time to come alive
Time to show the world this magic that was deep inside
Repositioned all my moves, and then I cracked the surface
This a testament to you, we all got a purpose

So when you steppin towards your dreams, you gotta walk alone
You gotta do it by yourself and keep your spirit strong
No matter what you run across, you gotta see it through
And you gon' fail a lot of times, but still believe in you

It's true
Y'all didn't believe in us when we was down
So don't come around when we're up
Didn't give it up, was down on luck

We focused up until we came up
We got blessings
You gotta go for everything you want
Worked for more than we'll ever need now

We got blessings
Blessings
Blessings
