Over Everything

Intro

Mm

Yeah

Mm-hmm

Listen

Verse 1

I used to want the freshest pair out the box

Big wheels rolling clean around the block

Wanted every eye on me when I rolled through

Thought the things I owned could say what I grew to

Chasing that picture chasing that glow

Trying to show the whole world I was winning you know

But living got a way of shifting your view

After enough storms come walking through you

Had bright days had a mountain of ache

Lost a few faces watched connections break

Some lessons crept in soft some arrived with scars

Some nights I wondered how I got this far

Pre-Chorus

Now I finally see

What matters when the room goes dim

It ain't what you drive

It ain't what you wear

It ain't what the crowd thinks of him

Chorus

Give me peace over everything

Health when I wake up love when the phone sings

Family close to me somewhere I can breathe

A quiet little corner where my soul can be free

Money comes money goes

Cars get tired and fashion changes clothes

But the clock don't wait for anything

So at this point in my life

Give me peace over everything

Verse 2

I'm older now but I see more clear

Certain things don't deserve another minute or year

I don't need confusion knocking at my door

Don't need pointless battles anymore

Guarding my mind ain't selfish to me

Guarding my body is guarding my peace

Rising up staying moving trying to live right

Being alive is a blessing in sight

And the ones I love won't always stay near

That truth gets louder with every new year

So I call while I can say I love you today

Tomorrow ain't promised time slips away

I can't spend every hour on the end

But knowing it's temporary changed how I live

Made me treasure the laughter a meal and a friend

A slow afternoon I don't have to defend

Chorus

Give me peace over everything

Health when I wake up love when the phone sings

Family close to me somewhere I can breathe

A quiet little corner where my soul can be free

Money comes money goes

Cars get tired and fashion changes clothes

But the clock don't wait for anything

So at this point in my life

Give me peace over everything

Bridge

I've had enough hard roads

To know what a good day tastes like

I've had enough noise

To savor the silence

I've lost enough hours

To understand their worth

And I've lived enough life

To know that not everything that glitters

Is gold

You know what wealth is

Waking up with a clear mind

A body that still lets you move

People who truly love you

A home without chaos

A night where you close your eyes

And your spirit ain't fighting nothing

That's wealth

Verse 3

So if you see me moving different understand

I ain't chasing applause I'm becoming a man

Who knows what deserves him and what he can leave

What deserves his focus and what steals his peace

I don't care about keeping up anymore

I know what I'm living and who I'm living for

Give me honest people give me somewhere serene

Give me fewer headaches and a heart that is clean

I still want to grow I still want to build

Still planting my future still working the field

But success without peace ain't success to me

And riches without health ain't prosperity

Maybe that's what growing older really means

You stop buying the picture

And start valuing the things

That can't be framed or flexed or bought or sold

Final Chorus

Give me peace over everything

Another birthday another chance to breathe

Family around me health underneath me

Enough wisdom now to know what I really need

Money comes money goes

Nothing in this world was made to hold

And time keeps rolling whether ready or not

So I'm loving what I have

Instead of chasing what I ain't got

Give me peace

Give me health

Give me love

Give me time

Over everything

Outro

Without my health

Without my peace

All the money and the cars and the houses

None of it means a thing

Life taught me that

Took me years to understand it

But I understand it now

Real talk
