Davenport Grimes - Shiny Things lyrics

[Hook: Davenport Grimes] Don't let them fool you with their shiny things There's so much more than wealth this life can bring It's what's inside that makes me want to sing I scribe my life for no price you're offering [Verse 1: The Audible Doctor] In the city of big dreams it seems they never remember them The pendulum swinging bringing the change they've depended on I mean time is money but it's funny what they spend it on Dropping the gwap to cop it if it got the right emblem Dropping the top to rock it like look at all the Benjamins Dropping their top to flaunt tits like look at me I'm blending in co*king the top to shock kids like look G I'm menacing And this the medicine for those ills I let it settle in Cuz ever since I been young I been running with the veterans And never once I chose change for chumps over intelligence Some cats will pull your chain just for fun on some friendly sh** Some cats will pull your chain and leave you slumped that's the end of it My penmanship has grown from the effects of the present it's Hard to learn not everything is sweet like it's entenmann's But mama told me never dwell to deep in the negative That's where the devil is I don't sleep I just keep stepping it's progression [Hook: Davenport Grimes] Don't let them fool you with their shiny things There's so much more than wealth this life can bring It's what's inside that makes me want to sing I scribe my life for no price you're offering [Verse 2: The Audible Doctor] When I'm writing it seems I'm in another zone Empty out my dome across the page Splatter my brain matter through poems homes I got so many rhymes I don't think I'm too sane Life is parallel to hell sometimes one and the same Switching lanes like they trying to pa** cats on the fast track You only ending up with more damage when you crash that Doc'll be rocking shows in hazmat suits The blast back gon' bury you wack a** crews True, I embody this beats rhymes and life sh** They'll probably hologram my body off what I kick My image rocking on stage my spirit in the clouds My body underground sorta like the sounds that I spit You Hollywood a** cats be acting funny Like a cannibal lion swallow your pride when you hungry But deny it when you buzzing while you try to make them love it I'mma keep spitting out whatever's inside of my stomach what [Hook: Davenport Grimes] Don't let them fool you with their shiny things There's so much more than wealth this life can bring It's what's inside that makes me want to sing I scribe my life for no price you're offering
