I am in a dark room
With no lights on
But Imma spark soon
With the right song
And Imma talk through
Every mic on
Head all swole
The type of sh** I should put ice on
And I'm big so you gotta hate
I got fans, and all they do is oscillate
Uh, so I'm just tryina get my brain back
But life's been bumpy like a train track
Been tryina get my idols on the same track
So I could make De Nero like the time that I was named that
But if y'all don't know me you wouldn't get that
So forget that
Skip to the next track
Cause I have definitely had my share of setbacks
And all I need's my fans who have my back like a jetpack
Why?
Cause you give me the fuel to fly
And this right here, this is do or die
Maybe in a couple years when I'm famous
You would be proud to say, that you knew this guy
And so I need to get my team right
On the road to riches baby all I see is green lights
I put up a mean fight
Party for like three nights
I'm describing talent none of y'all know what it feels like
And I know that my appeals like
Straight through the roof, I am just talking real life
Give me love (x 7)
Give me love over, love over, love over this
Over this, and over that (x 4)
Remember when I was bumping
Timbaland beats rocking Timberland boots
Wearing a Roots sweater, listening to the Roots
Feeling like my words need polish
Bumping College Dropout, dropping out of college
No more poli. sci. but I move like Machiavelli
I'm feeling real big tell d**h I ain't ready
Don't focus on me homie, focus on the movement
Moving like an architect, listening to the Blueprint
I'm just rolling j's up
T-dot's where I'm raised up
So the motivation for my city's why I stays up
Every single night just working in the lab
Kindness from my Mom, strength from my Dad
You put that sh** together you get my genetic makeup
You should really smell the coffee, wake up
Baby you know Dave's up
People see the team and they begging for us to break up
But I ain't got the time for all the time these b**hes take up
Me and my clique are icons taking shortcuts
And I remember when nobody would support us
But now we so dope, you could prolly snort us
Flow so retarded it ride around on the short bus
Yeah, and that's even on a bad day
Ex-girls all praying and wishing that they had Dave
But don't listen to what people from my past say
Cause they would call me bu*t and try to use me like an ash tray
Give me love (x 7)
Give me love over, love over, love over this
Over this, and over that (x 4)
Some days are hot, but some been cold
So this right here is for anybody that's got a soul
Cause Dave's been scarred, and Dave got fierce
But Dave got heart, and they've got ears
So we a perfect match
It's like it's mean to be
The only enemy in front of me's the Inner me
And so I put this over money
I put this over women
I put this over life cause without love it's not worth living, yeah (uh)
And labels trying branding me a brand
Cause from where they stand, they can't see I'm actually a man
Haters listen to me so much
They're practically my fans
But I'm moving like Di Caprio, catch me if you can (ha)
But my stamina is grand
So Imma stay fly until it's time for me to land
With nothing but a mic, and some money in my hand
Just enough to remember and forget, under-stand?
But you wouldn't understand
(Why?)
Cause you not part of the plan
Silly like a monkey put your hand inside the tang
Not Wu coming through but don't mess with my clan
And I am just saying how I feel
I am paying dues just so I can pay the bills
And do not get it twisted, I ain't saying that I'm broke
I'm just saying in this game if you ain't rich then you a joke
Man please give me a second I'm tryina clear the smoke
I apologize for every single hater I provoke
Hmm, actually I don't
I am laughing at you b**hes that are tryina stay afloat, like
Over this, and over that (x 4)
