Overnight Success Songtext
von Ransom

Yeah, these niggas swear they created a lane
Soul sample spitting bars that relates to the pain
Sixty bars with no hooks, I was breaking their chains
They laughed at me, I stood firm, I was staking my claim
Put in this groundwork before you can make you a name
Spit all this dope shit for years and they take it in vain?
But all those dark nights did was awaken the bane
Fathered your style, now y′all niggas got faith in this game?
I wonder, how did they make it through the summer (how?)
When niggas won the lottery with someone else's number? (Yeah)
They should have let me slumber (yes), but I have awoken right out the tundra
Wrote the bible to this game, now it′s time to white out the blunders
Few testaments, I wrote this new Exodus
Scripture by scripture, picture this as true excellence
Can't leave it up to God, 'cause I′m a true pessimist
This shit was dead and gone, ′til this nigga blew breath in it
That's definite


Yeah, there′s no success overnight (nah)
But if you feelin' blessed, roll the dice (let′s go)
You best know the price (yeah)
I'm just tryna prep for the lights
It took me years to get success overnight (uh-huh)
Respect no advice (none)
This heart in my chest, cold as ice
Get second place ′til the next overhyped
Connect your device (yes), and listen to the best flow, precise
It took me years to get success overnight
Success overnight

Man, I could be wrong but the flow's right (let's go)
Just look in my eyes as if they were strobe lights
Intense glare, you niggas should probably fear what I won′t write
These niggas always tripping up just like some broke dice, with no gripes
Pay us no mind, niggas got no price
I′m the real thing and that's no sleight to them bros hyped (at all)
I′m starting to think that you don't know life (why?)
You′re buying things you don't need to impress the people you don′t like
On most nights, a bottle of Reposado suppress the sorrow
But still I'm spittin' with the best bravado
When shit is rocky, you gotta test the heart that′s in the chest of Drago, damn
But even Obama left Chicago
Just say legend when you speak of Ransom, yeah
These heavy words got your speakers dancing, damn
You gotta work if you believe in planning
′Cause you'll never find your greatness on the beaches tanning, nah


Yeah, there′s no success overnight (nah)
But if you feelin' blessed, roll the dice (let′s go)
You best know the price (yeah)
I'm just tryna prep for the lights
It took me years to get success overnight (uh-huh)
Respect no advice (none)
This heart in my chest, cold as ice
Get second place ′til the next overhyped
Connect your device (yes), and listen to the best flow, precise
It took me years to get success overnight
Success overnight

Yeah, there's no success overnight (nah)
But if you feelin' blessed, roll the dice (let′s go)
You best know the price (yeah)
I′m just tryna prep for the lights
It took me years to get success overnight (uh-huh)
Respect no advice (none)
This heart in my chest, cold as ice
Get second place 'til the next overhyped
Connect your device (yes), and listen to the best flow, precise
It took me years to get success overnight
Success overnight
Success overnight
