Arrested Development
Overachiever
[Intro: Speech]
Uh, yeah, uh
[Chorus: Montsho Eshe & Speech]
I need you to overstand (Overstand)
That I am (Am) an overachiever (Oh)
Underestimated all across the land (Across the land)
That I am an overachiever (Oh)
Let's go
I believe I'll succeed (Yeah, yeah)
I believe I'll succeed (Uh-huh, yeah)
I believe I'll succeed (Oh, woah, uh-huh)
I believe I'll succeed (Yeah)
An overachiever
[Verse 1: Speech & Montsho Eshe]
A gladiator that makes gladiators, I'm Ridley Scott
I try to cover all bases like a little league tot
I got more love for black Madonnas than Rome Italy's got (Got)
The only squat you used to doing is diddly-squat (Oh)
I can't hear you talking; there's too much noise
I've been a man for a while; I'm not one of the boys
Not bought nor sold; I am not one of your toys
The more of me, the more sparkle like drinking La Croix (Croix)
No designer clothes, chains from Jacob
They replaced shackles on slaves with jewels & make-up
I don't got the same attractions; I'm not in a gay pub
I don't have to fake owning nice cars to fill my tank up
I'm gold, just standing on my own
Like an Oscar statue, but ain't no acting though
I got a lot of dead weight like carrying a soldier
Trying ignore us is like burying a boulder, so—
[Chorus: Montsho Eshe & Speech]
I need you to overstand (Overstand)
That I am (Am) an overachiever (Oh)
Underestimated all across the land (Across the land)
That I am (Am) an overachiever (Oh, oh, oh)
C'mon
I believe I'll succeed (Yeah, yeah)
I believe I'll succeed (Uh-huh, yeah)
I believe I'll succeed (Uh-huh, yeah)
I believe I'll succeed (Oh, yeah)
An overachiever
[Verse 2: Speech & Montsho Eshe]
I need you to overstand I'm an overachiever
Underestimated, undermined non-stop
By the nonbelievers; jealous jokers plotting and chopping the whole regime up
Thinking that they now can become the leader (Oh)
I sit and planted seeds that years later became trees
They perch at ease and eat from my bird feeder
Either they are deceived or grieved by perceived threats
Or maybe depression; either way it is ether
Danger; I call you friend, don't become a stranger
Stranger things have happened within this rap game
I'm a pro gamer, I'm a pro aimer
Like Public Enemy's logo, bullets all in my chamber
I may speak conscious, I clearly have a conscience
I crave peace, I'm honest
(I serve 'cause I'm honest)
But you should brace yourself 'cause you don't want it
I can get ill with my drills, orthodontist
[Chorus: Montsho Eshe & Speech]
I need you to overstand (Overstand)
That I am an overachiever (Oh)
Underestimated all across the land (Across the land)
That I am an overachiever (Oh, oh, oh)
Let's go
I believe I'll succeed (Yeah, yeah)
I believe I'll succeed (Uh-huh, yeah)
I believe I'll succeed (Uh-huh, yeah)
I believe I'll succeed (Oh, yeah)
[Outro: Speech]
An overachiever, achiever, that is us, us, us, us—
