Never one and the same
Here’s my crutch: I’m in need of her system
I’m marginally obsessed with the way I present myself
I overreact ‘cause that’s how I roll
I been’ told I am hysterical
Oops! I’m Armageddon’s son
Hold your resentment while I bust this out
She’ requesting my submission, and we all know how this one ends
I’m proud to have been given a chance to entertain you
-Lest I’m enslaved to the pain of my confidence
I was in it only to help you out
Lie in the danger or save my life?
I envision a world where my choices are mine
-Lest I’m enslaved to the gain and the pain
I could drown in my confidence
It don’t take much—just a pinch of resistance
I’m open to suggestions on how I should get it done
Don’t overreact
This is how it goes: Ima’ break through the linoleum
-Hope she doesn’t hear a sound
Hold your resentment while I dig me out to define my new existence
And my boy knows the outcome
That little prick likes to parry my thoughts
You know why?
‘Cause he’s a coward and a hypocrite!
I shot two bullets in the wall
Just stand between the eyes of God, to let him see
Let him weep at the construct he cast aside
And I’m over it ‘cause I been’ feeling so confident!
I was in it only to help you out
Lie in the danger or save my life?
I envision a world where my choices are mine
-Lest I’m enslaved to the gain and the pain
I could drown in my confidence
Lobifu, can you clarify it? O’ Lobifu!
Just let me prove that it was you, Lobifu!
When she comes, we will surrender to her, Lobifu
‘Cause we been’ part of the problem
Just let me prove it was you, Lobifu
I was in it only to help you out
Lie in the danger or save my life?
She’s my crutch!
I’m in need of her system
I’m marginally obsessed with the way I present myself
I overreact ‘cause that’s how I roll!
You can see I am hysterical
Oops! I’m Armageddon’s son
Ugh, my agenda is to bust me out!
She’ requesting my submission, and we all know how this one ends
Got one foot in the door to entertainment
-Lest I’m enslaved to the gain and the pain
Never one and the same—overconfidence
Here’s my crutch: I’m in need of her system
I’m marginally obsessed with the way I present myself
I overreact ‘cause that’s how I roll

The album this track is from is called 'Matriphagy' which is a concept album about how an overprotective mother pushes her son to the edge of insanity through psychological & physical abuse. Having spent two decades trapped inside a glorified prison and after some failed rescue/escape attempts, the son, in a state of heavy delirium, does the unforgivable to free himself from his mother's wicked hold. The definition of the word Matriphagy is 'the consumption of the mother by her offspring' attributed to some insect species. In the case of the song "Overconfidence" I think it speaks directly to the concept of someone trapped & needing an escape from circumstances of imprisonment by someone they trusted. They seeks any means of escape both physically & mentally from the hold this person has over both them and their life.
