(Verse 1) Oh-oh I, I ain’t got nothing to show I grind ’til I bleed my bones ’Til the wake of night is closed
I arrive back home with the dawn AM Give my family their daily bread And then do it all again
(Chorus) I’ve been working overtime Trying to earn me what is mine ’Cause we weren’t born to live and die Working overtime all our lives On this life’s assembly line I got mountains still to climb I feel my dreams all coming closer So until my time here is over I’m working overtime
(Verse 2) My daddy lived for job that he never loved But child I’ve been saving up So I can make this shift for us
Brick by brick, I’m gon’ build us a legacy Something worth more than just money And we can live our destiny
(Chorus)
(Reprise) Overtime, I’m working overtime (oh-oh-oh-oh) Overtime, I’m working overtime (on and on now) Overtime, I’m working overtime (all my life now)
