You know, sometimes we just go too far
We just end up doing too much

Overdose
We can start fresh in the mornings long as we don't
Overdose (save me)
Overdose (ooh, ooh)
Overdose
We can start fresh in the mornings long as we don't
Overdose (save me)
Overdose (ooh, ooh)

If I shall die before I wake
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 eighteen and over
But they self-esteem is on AC, the lower
Please just wake me up when it's over
It's been the same nightmare over and over
See we've been over masses, we came over from Africa
But overcame the fact that they overpowered the passengers
A classic case of brains over brawn
Buying chains to the account on your name is overdrawn
So this for every crack head who over did it, homes
If you ain't grow up black, you wouldn't get it, homes
They left they kid in home to buy a bag of coke
Now there's a new generation weighing a overdose

Overdose
We can start fresh in the mornings long as we don't
Overdose (save me)
Overdose (ooh, ooh)
Overdose
We can start fresh in the mornings long as we don't
Overdose (save me)
Overdose (ooh, ooh)

If I shall die before I wake
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 a overnight success story
But heartache tend to write the best stories
The best stories or the ones that's most embarrassing
Every family's got a fiend who's embarrassed them
I got a uncle on my mom's side, we was close
He use to hustle part time but started shooting dope
And that's the first step, just do the addition
Twelve more steps now we dealing with addiction
If you got addicts in your family, then hold 'em 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 mornings long as we don't
Overdose (save me)
Overdose (ooh, ooh)
Overdose
We can start fresh in the mornings long as we don't
Overdose (save me)
Overdose (ooh, ooh)

If I shall die before I wake
All you ever need is yourself
I pray to the Lord
Easier to break myself, yeah

While I (overdose)
We can start fresh in the mornings long as we don't
Overdose
Overdose
Overdose
We can start fresh in the mornings long as we don't
Overdose
Overdose
