Overrated - Sho Baraka

Ladies and gentleman, please stand to your feet

For Sho Baraka’s rendition of «Overrated»!

(Verse 1: Sho Baraka)

Look at the state of the world

Yea, I’m mad at the world

And I’ma share my frustration just a little bit

Every brother is a thug

And while they glorifying drugs

They look at me bugged

Cuz I wanna be a gentlemen

And my ladies are a mess

They want value in their dress

And in themselves they don’t invest

They want significance

The young’uns quote 50 cent

But can’t count to 50 cent

We promote ignorance

And we’re so illiterate

My Man loving that money to death

Really to death

He’ll kill himself to get him a check

Oh, but he weeped about Virginia tech

But he sells Glocks and tech

Please help me understand his intellect

We can talk about taxes and air pollution

Government’s great illusion

But that’s makeup for the skin

And I don’t wanna give problems without solutions

So I’ve come to this conclusion

Love God and hate sin

(Hook)

The money (the money), the power (the power)

The fame (the fame) The lies and the games

It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all)

Overrated!

The lust (the lust), the pride (the pride)

The greed (the greed), anything to succeed

It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all)

Overrated!

This cat was like I don’t feel you to be honest

You should sound more street, more hood, more conscious

And also be more liberal with your content

He wanna make me a star, so I can fall like a comet

I’m satisfied with the things that God promised

I don’t need to chase the steak when I’m cool with top ramen

I’m a servant of the King;

I pay homage

I don’t wanna be on top, if they put Him at the bottom

«Sho you just faking to be humble and poor

In hopes that the LORD will be pleased and bless you with more.»

No, homie, I just keep my face to the floor

When he opens the door, my views will be the same as before

I can’t be real commercial with it

Non-offensive lyrics, get some radio spins, and give them Jesus later

I wanna walk like the Lord, and talk like the Lord

If we live like the lord, then the world will hate us

(Hook)

The clothes (the clothes), the sex (the sex)

The cars (the cars), anything to be stars

It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all)

Overrated!

The rage (the rage), the hate (the hate)

The drugs (the drugs), everybody is a thug

It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all)

Overrated!

It could be hard righteous living

With the freedom God has given

But we can live in the world and keep our sanity

You might one day be a star

Even drive a fancy car

But realize, my friend, it’s all vanity

It’s the heart at question, who has your affections

Is it the goods you love or the GOD who made them?

So for my last suggestion

If we’ve learned any lesson

The world’s lost the game — its overrated

The what (the what), the who (the who)

The things (the things), the rat race for the green

It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all)

Overrated!

The ohh (the ohh), the ooh (the ooh)

The ahh (the ahh), the blasé blah

It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all)

Overrated!

The cash (the cash), the cream (the cream)

The diamonds (the diamonds), pretty much everything

It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all), It’s all (it's all)

It’s overrated

Yea, recognize Christ is the real champion

Surrender your life to Him

He’ll bring your life real value
