4Point's World
If you're on your computer, explore the meaning behind Overnight in 4Point's World:
If you want to stay on your phone, it's all here too:
The introduction: Overnight
The time: Summer 2018. 10pm on a Friday night.
The place: Seattle, Washington.
The scene: Isaac sits at his desk with his headphones on and a fire beat from his friend Eric playing on loop. As the last bit of light from the sunset lingers on the horizon, he begins to write what would become the intro track to the project he would assemble over the course of the next year.

4Point sits down with JJ from subPrhyme and talks about the meaning behind Overnight.
The Sacred Texts
Below are scans from my writing notebook. This is where I wrote the song for the first time.
The Lyrics
Seatown summer night
You know the kind when its so hot you gotta keep a fan on, windows open just to keep from overheating when you sleep
Couple new tricks up my sleeve
Ten pm, end of the week
Day to kick it back, yeah not for me
Put the phone on silent then I hop on beats
Friends chillin, not me though, I’m home, workin on Growing Panes
Gotta get the shot ‘for he leave for Chicago, tell him I know a place
Mentor tellin me I’m trippin
I’m like nah, we gotta slow the pace
Sports taught me how to prepare, so I keep careful cuz I know it plays
Free time what I used to have, now I free time to rap
I ain’t even big and I’m busy, I wish I could freeze time and go back
To when I was stupid and lazy and complacent
Shit was simple for the wrong reasons
Raw meat, not seasoned
Albeit
It was chill like the fall season
Now I’m workin round the clock weekends
Do a lot for a small base
Used to go online for some COD playin
Now I go online for a bomb placement
Hit the party and we all wasted
Been losin interest if it’s not real
I’d rather take you to dinner and movie and wake up and make you a hot meal
Shoutout to Gardens, was all feels
Now I’m givin you the brains too
Recorded that one in my backyard
All I do is make, cuz I make do
Refined the vision ‘til it came through
Never stay the same, but we stay true
Recognize when the change due
Then raise your aim, you can break through
Overnight
Overnight, yeah yeah
Overnight
Overnight, yeah yeah
And I do what you couldn’t do, yeah
Most cases I just do what you wouldn’t do
Speakin my mind, never followin’ trends,
According to them, I do what you shouldn’t do
And I pay for it
Workin all the time, wish I played more
Want a tip? Say less, you could say more
Wanna win? Save breath and create more
DMs fillin, not with ladies though
That’ll come, for now it’s promo accounts sayin “pay me dough”
Tell em they can go
All my follows legit, I don’t pay for those
And I ain’t really into playin folks
Looked on your page, it’s nothin but slayin hoes
All you rap about is stupid, now you want a feature like yeah,
You can pray and hope
If everybody sayin they up next was up next, my queue’d be like 10 hours long
They don’t see me cuz I’m in my room writin music while they lightin a bong, yeah
I ain’t anti-smokin although I know that sometimes it may come across that way
I’m just anti-lazy people man cross off the list ‘for you go and get crossed all day
I believe we’re all born with potential and so many waste it gettin’ wasted
We’d live in a better place if it was our dreams instead of our shots we were chasin’
But who am I to judge?
Know the shit we face never one-to-one
Know a kid my age who runs with guns
If I was in your place, I’d prolly love the numb
Heaven know we got reason to
Born imperfect, only destined to die,
Why you think we turn to music for shit in our life that we could never reason through?
You know that feeling, you throw on an artist you love when you’re low and it heals you?
He had no clue you would hear it, but when you listen you can’t help but feel he knew
I wanna be that for somebody
I also want credit and dumb money
I also want women to love on me
So now you know why I’m up studying
Overnight
Overnight, yeah yeah
Overnight
Overnight, yeah yeah
