about

Overflowin' is a look at inner city oppressive life told in a story/folk style that sends the message - never let it bring you down.

lyrics

Suppression, Get outta my face
Self-Expression, to win this race
Denial, I've gotta put you on trial
My energy, you drag me down and feed off me but....

I'm Overflowin' (x4)

You asked me where my mind went
I said it became quite evident
When my backs against the wall
That's when I rise above it all

Like right now...

Well, here I am crammed into these jeans again
Staring at the same four walls and shopping malls that are littering my street..
YEAH MY STREET! Yeah, that's right. You know the one.
That's the one with the pretty little girl always sitting on the sidewalk reading the good book. (bless your heart)
And when you ask her why she's reading the good book, she looks up at you with a sparkle in the eye and a smile on her face...

I'm Overflowin' (x4)

You asked me where my mind went
I said it became quite evident
When my backs against the wall
That's when I rise above it all

Like right now...

Well, would you lookie over there!
There goes Oscar through the dumpsters again...
Yeah he's trying to find a friend.
And there's Magic Mike standing on the corner
Wearing that blonde frilly wig...
Yeah he's trying to grind those hips. (He's a Professial!)
And when I look up to the 5th story window,
I see ShaNaeNae (Mmm Hmmm)
Hanging Leroy by his ankles.
I yell up to Leroy (HEY LEROY!) I say, "You're the B-B-B-Baddest man in town! Are you scared?"
Because your smile looks like a frown when it's turned upside down..
He yells back down to me (down to me, down to me)
With a smile on his face

I'm Overflowin' (x4)

I'm Overflowin' rollin through the grass
the winds a blowin' nothing but laughs
The man in the moon, looking kinda blue
I said "hey Mr. Moon, what's up with you?"
he said
"Hey, Little diddle. I'm stuck in the middle.
I'm only half full and can't solve this riddle.
I don't know how, I'm under a cow.
But i sure could use a little love right now"
I said
"Sure Mr. M, I got some love I can send
Allow me to extend it to you'
He said
"Thanks my friend, I must commend
you for helping me end these blues.
Now I'm feeling full
with this lovin' Spoonful and I'm Overflowin' too.

I'm Overflowin' (x4)
Right Now. Hey hey, Haha
There's an egg in the hole in the middle
