Lyrics:

Swipe ups on the story undefeated

Shawty bossing up, yeah I’ve seen it

She the missing piece I’ve been needing

But I’ve been working AM through the PM

Got no time to be up in my feelings

I’d love to take you out for the weekend

I’m loving every piece of your being

Them thirst traps, damn it, I’ve peeped it

I want it, I need it

You got it, believe it

Your body hypnotic

I promise to seize it

She’s smart, Collegiate

A star, no secret

Bizarre you single

I’m charmed, I’m speechless

I’m the shit, you the shit, we gotta link

Whenever I see you, it be hard to think

When I’m around you I’ll make sure to blink

To see if I’m dreaming and Z’ing like Zinc

When I get a chance to advance

And get in them pants, I ain’t gonna shrink

Hope you hear the man and cram

Your face up like there’s something that stink

Brand sponsorships, who as hot as this

I can’t think of one name

You consuming my brain

Let’s get something arranged

I’m a narcissist, I cannot resist

The need of having you claimed

It’s you I gotta obtain

This I had to proclaim

Bitches sleeping on me, get to tell ‘em that they dead wrong

Pass your girl the aux and I bet she playing Pres songs

If you mad about it, wish you came to me and said some

To this day there ain’t a beat that I ain’t fucking flexed on

Yeah, that’s just the way that I do

I call you, then cancel your plans

You with it, I gotta assume

I see you building your brand

Independent, hella cute

And you know that I’ve been man, so

How ‘bout you slide and come through

You so bad that anybody hating on you get immediately cancelled

You a work of art, one night with the star that you are is like a Van Gogh

Beat it up, I’ma flip you over easy turn your eggs into a scramble

Been the shit since 2016, fuck it, listen to the sample

"Over You" was the one and only single from "Home Improvement" and truly set a high bar when it came to quality, sound and content matter. The boys go back in forth over the big questions of love such as "Is it someone else's fault for not living up to your expectations?", but of course, they also have their typical banter and out-of-left-field sidebars.

To complete the story we need all sides. In this episode, Pres' mom joins to talk about their family and its dynamic.
