Shut your mouth, know your place

Chorus
It's over, it's over

This is for the people who can't break through
I used to feel just like you
Stuck

Verse 2
Uphill battles, every day I'm at my breaking point (breaking point)
I lay the cards out on the table
To show you case and point (chase and point)
Speaking loud to me again
But I cannot hear your voice (hear your voice)
I've lost my sense of self, but don't count me out
I don't disappoint
This verse highlights the constant struggle the narrator faces. They’re at a "breaking point," but instead of giving up, they lay everything out honestly. There’s a sense of frustration with others trying to speak into their life, but they’re determined to find their own way. The line about losing their sense of self shows how tough things have been, yet they still refuse to be counted out, demonstrating a strong will to keep fighting.
Chorus
Do not assume I got this attitude
From a lucky hand I drew
I pulled this out the dirt
I did the dirty work
You can bury the dead
Yeah, I got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
This

'Cause now the debt is due, debt is due
Do not assume I got this attitude

Yeah, I got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
It's over, it's over

Ah
Ha, ha, ha, ah
Stuck!
It's my time, my time
(Don't count me out)
It's my time, my time
(Don't let me down)
It's my time, my time
(Don't count me out)
It's my time, my time
Soul searching for signs, don't try to rescue me
Do this on my own until they bury me
Final time I let you get the best of me
Nothing left to lose, follow my destiny
This is for the people who can't break through
I used to feel just like you
It's over, it's over, it's over (it's my time)
It's over, it's over (it's over)
