Chords for Blxst "Overrated" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

[Abm] Overrated pretty much was inspired by Donnell Jones, of course.
That's where I got the sample.
That was one of my favorite top three albums, the Where I Wanna Be album.
So I just wanted to put my little twist on it.
When I dropped it, I kind of already felt confident it was already a hit.
You know, the original song was already a hit, so it's kind of like a cheat code.
But it was an organic _ following I got after dropping that [Fm] song too.
Like people really gravitated to the record.
Black men speaking on love is kind of [Em] a rare thing right now, so I just want to be the
forefront of that.

[Ab] How I started, I just took the guitar loop of the original [N] sample and then I just added
my own drums and played keys over it.
Kind of just put my little blast twist to it.
And then from there, lyrically, I just wanted to go opposite of what he was talking about.
Just give my perspective on loyalty over love.
So I really found out that the world was really rocking with it when I'm just driving around
my city and seeing random cars play it.
Or if I'm at a gas station and somebody just bumping my music, I don't think I'm gonna
ever get used to that.
And that was really a reality check for me.
I just want to say, shout out Donnell Jones for clearing the sample.
That was reinsurance for me to get the green light for my OG for sure.
So I'm forever humble and I appreciate it. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ One of the reasons why I say love is overrated is just because I feel like we live in a time
of social media where _ everybody's [Ab] attention span is so, you know, _ running on fumes.
To me, I just rather have loyalty, which is an action for me.
Loyalty is just basically speaking on what you're going to [E] do and being a woman or a
man of your word.
Love is more so of an emotion.
I know you love when we shady, ducked off, they hate it when we isolated.
When I think of being isolated or being ducked off, [Gb] the first thing that comes to my mind
is going down PCH, [F] going to a random spot at a beach or something.
Or going somewhere like Nobu, somewhere where the city is not really [G] involved in my situation.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's just a play on words.
Are you blind about all this ice you see?
Are you distracted by all the glitz and glamour or do you really rock with me for me?
_ And that's what I stand on.
It's funny because my own lyrics affect me because me moving up in my career, [Fm] it's like
a reality check.
I got to be more aware of who really in my circle [E] that's really genuine and who really
care about me.
It just makes me stay on point at all times.
When I _ say _ no _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ relationships involved, I'm not actually saying no relationship.
It's really a play on words saying no label.
What's understood don't need to be explained.
We know where we are and the world don't got to know that.
It's between us. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Money to [Abm] me is just an object at the end of the day.
It's just a [Ebm] tool to get the resources that we need.
I'm fully [E] aware [Ab] of that and it don't [F] really mean nothing unless you can [Ebm] benefit off of
it or get something from it [F] or unless you can share it.
One of my models is I'm not [E] successful unless everybody around me is successful.
That's kind of what I mean by that too. _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Having the heart of your slave can [B] be a good and a bad thing.
When I was young, my mom used to say I used to come ask her for money so I could buy my
friends snacks and stuff.
_ That always made me laugh.
It can be good and bad because you can be getting used at the same time.
[N] But I believe in if you put out good karma, you get good karma back.
You know the code never switch.
My love been legit.
You know I'ma go all out for my_
Anything that's mine is yours.
[Abm] From _ finances to me protecting you to me looking out for you.
[F] I just want to be genuine _ 100%.
I feel like I'm on a dating show now. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Overall, I feel like the moral of the story is just you can say you [Ab] love somebody, which
is cool, but actions mean more at the end of the day.
You have to put in the [Eb] actions [Ab] and the energy and the time in order for somebody to feel
that, you know, [N] to feel that word that you're speaking on.
We can't use it in vain. _
_ [Em] _ We have certain people in our life that you think is going to be there forever [Ebm] and then
at the blink of [E] an eye they can be gone. _
That happened to me several times to where I value in a different
