Over Lyrics
Epik High
You got so much to prove
Hoping they approve
The only thing that's true is all you ever do is do
You're moving shoe to shoe
But you're not going
You stop growing
The moment that you stay at the top
The only way is to drop
Free falling down the stairs that you climbed up, lined up to freely mount the air
But you dare not air drop
Tied up like a hair knot
Hiking down without a chance of stepping on a fair rock
And so, you stand still in a standstill
Hands still building castles on a sand hill
Man chill is what your friends say
But you're not hearing what little men say anyway
Keep on going and taste the stars
Keep on growing and raise the bar
You're living life for the A's down to the Z's
After the hill you gotta mountain to seize
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are
Who can tell
Your living is an organized hell
The mansion of your mind just an oversized cell
The pressure
Everything is done to a measure
In the sea of competition sunk like a treasure
Like a feather falling slow spiraling to the floor
Strung up like a broken violin to your course
Opportunity is knocking at your door
But you never left a welcome mat (it doesn't matter anymore)
Or anyhow but you're too late to turn back
Fate pushing you into the wall like a thumbtack
Aint no comebacks in this game of life
Roll the dice again
Roll it once, never twice
Keep on going and taste the stars
Keep on growing and raise the bar
You're living life for the A's down to the Z's
After one drop you gotta fountain to seize
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are
(Want a break from the world but the world wanna break you
The weight makes your back bone curl up and ache you)
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are
(Want a break from the world but the world wanna break you
The weight makes your back bone curl up and ache you)
Hoping they approve
The only thing that's true is all you ever do is do

Keep on going and taste the stars
Keep on growing and raise the bar
You're living life for the A's down to the Z's
