Overnight

Aw, shit (y'all ready?)
Well, look who came to party
DJ Drama
Symba

Ayy, wakin' up to texts from every girl I like
Jumpin' out a car to jump back on a flight
Think I wouldn't go through hell and back to live this life?
You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight

Hard times make us rich and famous
But we intend to get more rich than famous
(Fuck the fame, get the fortune)
Life has its way of pickin' favorites
Which makes us take the focus off of what's for us
And think of switchin' places

Let's take it back to my one-bedroom, TV on the floor (tell 'em)
Back when we couldn't see our dreams but knew we wanted more
Back when Canard would tell me I sound like I'm from New York
And I need a feature from Kafani if I want support

He wasn't wrong, that was just his opinion
His problem was I saw further than what he envisioned
Believe a nigga, the nonbelievers will leave a nigga
Win, lose or draw, no mater what
That's a me decision, be consistent

I gotta watch the way I move 'cause they know who I am
Nowadays, my worst decisions could get caught on cam
People want to hold you up when it's time to advance
Life is short, I can't be out here no tryin' to expand

Wakin' up to texts from every girl I like (girl I like)
Jumpin' out a car to jump back on a flight (on a flight)
Think I wouldn't go through hell and back to live this life?
You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight
You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight
See these results?
You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight (take time)

Only black boy in first class, goin' to Paris
I brought a girl from Oakland to France to smoke on the terrace
She can't pronounce, "escargot", I'm sort of embarrassed
She think that every old white woman staring's a Karen

I used to think a fresh pair of J's was somethin' to cherish
Now I rock a fresh pair of J's just to run errands
I went from Lake Mary to hoppin' out McLarens
Walkin' out of Louis like all this shit is on clearance

You gotta believe in you before people believe it first
If you never put in the work, then you'll never know what it's worth
Today, a rapper approached me and asked me to buy his shirt
He was head to toe in Dior, why the fuck would I want your merch?

Wakin' up to texts from every girl I like (girl I like)
Jumpin' out a car to jump back on a flight (on a flight)
Think I wouldn't go through hell and back to live this life?
You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight

Back in the '60s
Andy Warhol once said
"In the future, everybody will be famous for 15 minutes"
(You fuckin' right, this shit ain't happen overnight)

Boy, was he right
You niggas is overnight celebrities
And then you fizzle out
This here, is hard work
Dedication, consistency
These results take time
