K.B.W / KEPT BY THE WORD

The Overflow

A song by K.B.W

BEHIND THE SONG

The story behind it.

This song came from a revelation.

Every night I ended my prayer the same way. God, bless me so I can be a blessing to others. Then I hit a season where everybody was pulling on me. Somebody needed advice. Somebody needed a shoulder. Somebody needed money. Somebody needed help. I was overwhelmed, but I answered the call every time. One night I prayed and asked God why this burden was on me.

He said, "You asked me to make you a blessing. And I did."

That sat with me. That followed me home and unpacked with me. Because when I looked back, I never lacked in any of it. When they called, I had the advice. I had the ear. I had the means. I had the energy. It wasn't a burden, it was Psalm 23. My cup runneth over. God was overflowing me so I could pour into others.

That's where this song was formed. He said it, I'm on it, I'm gone. He speaks, I move. And the pen overflowed too. When He fills you up, even the pen runs over.

The cup keeps running over for the ones who move when He speaks. I know who's pourin.

The lyrics Written by K.B.W

Chorus

He said it, I'm on it, I'm gone
He said it, I'm on it, I'm gone
No stalling, I'm locked in my zone
Can't call it the way that it's flowing
I know it, I know it, I know
No pressure, I'm set in my zone
No guessing, I'm led, I'm not alone
They watching, don't know what He showing me
I know it, I know it, I know

Verse 1

Pressure was present but presence was heavier, covering deficits
Stepping with evidence, heaven is evident, I’m in my element
Fell in the valley, but carried, I’m tallying blessings in decimals
Debt was a sentence, He shredded the record, no penalties, set me free
Walking with clarity, staring at enemies, nothing they said to me
Formed but it never prosper, that promise is threaded in pedigree
Devil been pressing, I'm stepping aggressive, I'm ready, I'm steady, I'm set in it
Word is embedded, I said it, I read it, I kept it, it’s heavy, I'm repping it (Sheesh)
Yeah
I posted online, now they fiending for Christ
My cup runneth over, I'm feeding them life
Spirit is moving, we shifting it right
I'm a fisher for men, I ain't fishing for likes
They chasing the clout, but the source is too bright
I'm all in my bag, but the bag been light
'Cause what He gave can't come from the height
This Kingdom wave got the room right
I'm gone with it

Chorus

He said it, I'm on it, I'm gone
No stalling, I'm locked in my zone
Can't call it the way that it's flowing
I know it, I know it, I know
I know, I know
No pressure, I'm set in my zone
No guessing, I'm led, I'm not alone
They watching, don't know what He showing me
I know it, I know it, I know

Verse 2

Overflow mode, I'm loaded with hope and it show in my soul glow
Road that was broken, He molded the stones, now I roll like a convoy
No code I decode, what spoken is scrolls, got me bold, I don't fold though
Closed doors open, I stroll through the threshold, I know who in control
Whole new tempo
My ten toes been planted in soil that don't choke growth
Low lows, turn to logos
My story been stitched with a gold thread, no loose ends, old me got ghosted
I don't even post him, that version was so-so
Now I'm in Go-mode with purpose and focus
No drifting, I'm locked in
Flow so surgical
Word to the Word, it's eternal, not topical
Vertical vision, I'm living with mission, not stuck in the optical
Miracles practical, Nothing is casual, favor is tactical
Hand on the wheel but He steering the vehicle, I'm just a passenger
If He say go, I'm already gone with it
No hesitation, I'm moving, I'm on with it

Chorus

He said it, I'm on it, I'm gone
He said it
He said it, I'm on it, I'm gone
He said it, I'm on it, I'm gone
No stalling, I'm locked in my zone
Can't call it the way that it's flowing
I know it, I know it, I know
I know, I know
No pressure, I'm set in my zone
No guessing, I'm led, I'm not lone
They watching, don't know what He showing me
I know it, I know it, I know

THE STORY OF K.B.W

The pen came back.
The purpose changed.

I didn't write anything for over a decade. I had stepped away from music because I could no longer support how my words were being used.

“I Got the Ghost” started with a hook. That opened the door to writing again, this time with God as the foundation.

I'm a father. I'm still learning. The music comes from faith, struggle, growth, and conviction. Every song is an opportunity to point someone toward Christ.


ON THE RECORD / ABOUT THE MUSIC

Every lyric is written by me. Every story, idea, message, and meaning comes from me.

I use AI as part of the production process, including the vocals. Technology allowed me to return to music without becoming something I've never wanted to be.

The technology is part of the process.
The testimony is mine.
