Over Before It Began

Overwhelmed and under paid
Dreams are cast on better days
Lady please, lady lay right down here next to me
And I will make you promises I don't know that I can keep

And at the end of the day
It don't matter either way

If you're gonna put a gun to my head
I'll give you straight talk, mister
But you're wasting your lead
I got opinions that I keep to myself
I was a straight A-student
'Cause I studied like hell
I look around me, I see cracks in the street
But it don't stop the people here from moving their feet
And it's over

Memorized and paralyzed
Mistakes were made, they've been revised
I run to look busy, you wonder what I do, do you?
The truth is I don't know but I hope too soon, too soon

And at the end of the day
It don't matter either way

If you're gonna put a gun to my head
I'll give you straight talk, mister
But you're wasting your lead
I got opinions that I keep to myself
I was a straight A-student
'Cause I studied like hell
I look around me, I see cracks in the street
But it don't stop the people here from moving their feet
And it's over before it began
Before it began

And at the end of the day
It don't matter either way

If you're gonna put a gun to my head
I'll give you straight talk, mister
But you're wasting your lead
I got opinions that I keep to myself
I was a straight A-student
I look around me, I see cracks in the street
But it don't stop the people here from moving their feet
And it's over, over, over before it began
