Fit In lyrics - David Dallas
It's all the same old story
The way they come and go
This revolving door ain't for me
I ain't tryna fit in no more
No more
Keep on actin like you up on some shit
I'm done tryna fit in
Don't try tell me about what's cool or not man
I'm done tryna fit in
Looking like the next man you a yes man
I'm done tryna fit in
Done tryna fit in
Done tryna fit in
Dial 1-1-1 I'm a kill it real quick
I'm done
Ain't holding my tongue for, no one
Ain't tryna be down
With this crowd, or that crowd
Sitting on Pitchfork tryna figure out
What's good, what's hot
Showing off to your friends like you're top notch
Last year man you were into pop rock
Saying that Drake is a soft-cock
Now you at his show with a top-knot
I've not got time for the lip service
Calling that shit wack is a disservice
To the word wack
It's worse
Stop writing cheques that you can't cash, on a big purchase
It's not really worth it
Know the way that I act might make people nervous
From a land more known for the sheep than the beats
But I still ain't going where I'm herded
Ya heard it
It's all the same old story
The way they come and go
This revolving door ain't for me
I ain't tryna fit in no more
No more
Keep on actin like you up on some shit
I'm done tryna fit in
Don't try tell me about what's cool or not man
I'm done tryna fit in
Looking like the next man you a yes man
I'm done tryna fit in
Done tryna fit in
Done tryna fit in
Dial 1-1-1 I'm a kill it real quick
Don't care like I used to
These days feeling more neutral
Just being truthful
Seen dudes tryna flex but
They hop on a wave like it's the next bus
And it really gets messed up
When they just buy things they've seen 'Ye copping
You don't birth trends
You're not popping
Brad and Angie, mostly adopting
I've put that phase in a coffin
Being on my own buzz ain't no problem
Dave don't login
Fuck your timeline
Got better things to do with my time
Get paid, write rhymes
Catch Federer games from the sidelines
Go fine dine with the wife, sipping on white wine
Play Xbox Live in the nighttime
Nobody gonna dim my shine
Nobody gonna kill my buzz
These dudes say peer pressure is a bitch
That's why we are not peers cause
Type of thing that'll end up in tears cause
Fuck a bandwagon around here cause
Used to "wanna be down with the cool kids"
Had to do it big guess I outgrew shit
It's all the same old story
The way they come and go
This revolving door ain't for me
I ain't tryna fit in no more
No more
Keep on actin like you up on some shit
I'm done tryna fit in
Don't try tell me about what's cool or not man
I'm done tryna fit in
Looking like the next man you a yes man
I'm done tryna fit in
Done tryna fit in
Done tryna fit in
Dial 1-1-1 I'm a kill it real quick
The way they come and go
This revolving door ain't for me
I ain't tryna fit in no more
No more
Keep on actin like you up on some shit
I'm done tryna fit in
Don't try tell me about what's cool or not man

Hood Country Club lyrics - David Dallas
No surprise here this is just the way things go
Wanna be Spieth on the 18th hole
Want the lifestyle of the affluent
But when your parents still rent
It ain't happening
Decided as a kid you ain't having it
Gotta get some Polo
Gotta get some Palace shit
Cop the new Nikes or risk embarrassment
Same with the jeans
That's the law of the averages
Same with the whip
That's the law of averages
Want a new chick
This could be the catalyst
German logo
The pursuit of happiness
Fuck slow-mo
I'm about a rapid fix
Think of pro athletes with no management
Gettin money, we just never taught to handle it
Spot up shooters, we never taught to handle it
Just sign here twenty-five percent per annum shit
Probably be the same 'till we inanimate
Hear they serve gear and the cannabis
In the hood country club
Here in the hood country club
In the hood country club
Never been no scrub
Rock the cheap shit and get no love
Don't nobody ever grow up
Here in the hood country club
In the hood country club
Never been no scrub (No scrubs)
Rock the cheap and get no love (Don't love)
Don't nobody ever grow up (Don't go grow up)
Don't we all want the same thing? (Same thing)
Hope the money gonna change things (Change things)
But it never does
When you in the club
They say I worry about the wrong things
Never catch me sipping a Rekorderlig
Never opted into Kiwisaver either
Still won't be caught dead in no Ford Festiva
Fuck plans for retirement
Got cash for the Yeezys
We buying it
Things we learn on rap vids
We applying it
Naysayers want ammo
We supplying it
Squares could never grasp the environment
'Till they realise they inside of it
So can't be turning up your noses
When even you tryna keep up with the Joneses
Turns out we just got different Joneses
And even real country clubs full of posers
For most of us it's our first rodeo
Parents never left no portfolio (... shit)
Hood pass intact know the riff-raff
You call when police fail to get your shit back
Who never leave leave the house if the gear's mismatched
Pour the Henny up and kick back...
Here in the hood country club
In the hood country club
Never been no scrub
Rock the cheap shit and get no love
Don't nobody ever grow up
Here in the hood country club
In the hood country club
Never been no scrub (No scrubs)
Rock the cheap shit and get no love (Don't love)
Don't nobody ever grow up (Don't go grow up)
Don't we all want the same thing? (Same thing)
Hope the money gonna change things (Change things)
But it never does
When you in the club
Country club
Country club
No scrubs
Don't love
Don't go grow up
Country club (The country club)
Country club (The country club)
No scrubs
Don't love
Don't go grow up
Don't we all want the same thing?
Hope the money gonna change things

Don't Rate That lyrics - David Dallas
[Hook:]
I don't rate that
Shit
I don't really rate that
Take that how you wanna take that
(Get your pay snatched or your face cracked
When you tryna hear it you can save that)
Man, I don't rate that
Shit
I don't really rate that
Take that how you wanna take that
(Snake cats slay the same tracks
Fuck up outta here you better make tracks)
[Verse 1:]
Cause of where I'm raised at
Single parent household
Two seven eight cat
I don't really take naps
Tryna get it ASAP
Cause we with the bourgeois shit
I wouldn't trade that
Wish that I could aim at these finance companies in the hood
Posing like they doing something good
Fuck outta here
Always putting more brown people on the ads
Knowing damn well they tryna trick us out of cash
Sports stars front the campaigns, ain't it sad
Really selling out, do they understand?
We don't rate that shit
I'm coming with the ace real quick
Do it big time like my breakthrough clip
Never been on that only god can save you tip
If I could tell the kids one thing, tell 'em
See the world, book a flight
It might just change you quick
What you read don't make you shit
What you do does
And it's all about crew love
Never rated dudes that forget where they grew up
All we do is do us
Ain't from the States
Ain't from the trap or the bando
I'm from a place where they got tinny houses
On plain wooden fences and white gates
None of my mates went for holidays beside lakes
Got an issue with what I say?
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
James Brown for the payback
Sean Combs saying take that
I turn the tables like A-Trak
Don't think it's cool cause it ain't that
You picked wrong AK cat
To talk about race jack
Sick of hearing how you hate that
They buying everything that ain't tax
Blame it on the Chinese
Say it's foreign buyers
But if a Brit buys up
You don't bat an eyelid
Fuckin' wilin'
Could be third-generation migrants
But we out here ticking up on last names
What's next? Gonna check what shape their eyes is?
To tell the truth it probably wouldn't be surprising
Seem to have an issue with what the country comprises
Xenophobes on the rise and
I don't rate that shit
Need another place real quick
To get the truth now
Cause the mainstream news
Is some matrix shit
Happy-go-lucky clickbait
Seeing spin every which way
Like I played Nadal on the red clay
Don't nobody care long as their rent's paid
A lot of faux outrage
Get forgot about the next day
People speak on it before they press play
That's the shit that I hate
Running off your mouth when [?]
Frontin' like that should be the norm
[Hook]
[Outro]
(Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off...)
I don't rate that
Shit
I don't really rate that
Take that how you wanna take that
(Get your pay snatched or your face cracked
When you tryna hear it you can save that)
Man, I don't rate that
Shit
I don't really rate that
Take that how you wanna take that
(Snake cats slay the same tracks
Fuck up outta here you better make tracks)

The Wire lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Ruby Frost)
[Hook: Ruby Frost]
Easy, what you want
Could be another thing, it is a power of its own
Easy, what you've got
One minute it is here, and then another it is gone
And higher, and higher, I'm going on a limb
The wire, the wire, is growing very thin
And you can call it, but I'm never gonna wanna leave
The wire the wire, though it's giving up on me
[Verse 1: David Dallas]
It's time to knuckle down
No time to run around, acting crazy its real
Nothing Fugazi until I'm Swayze in ghost
I'm trying things that seem fucking crazy to most
As kiwi kids it ain't in our nature to boast
So we be playing things down we be making jokes
In case we choke rather make out like we didn't try
Than bare the shame that we built a plane that didn't fly
Livin' lies, man if only we could live a little
The end might not be great but it was good in the middle
You may get chastised but the work you did outlives you
And if you did it from the heart know that they'll forgive you
May nobody forbid you from this first step
On a high wire it could be your worst yet
It could be your best I walked on it once or twice
Thought I'd stumble to my death
Though I feel it getting thinner
I'm still standing on the edge
[Hook]
[Verse 2: David Dallas]
Yeah, attracted to this life
Or the facade of it
Ain't what it seems, still I wanna be a part of it
I carry some scars from it
You never know if you can carry a film if you've never been the star of it
Put a couple large on it, going for the Oscar no
Thought I'd be happy with the Emmys then you got it wrong
I had to leave 'em behind although we got along guess the trains leaving today
You're either off or on
Dunno if I got it wrong I live with it though
Play some good defense
Stick with it though best shape of my life
I'm sick with it though and up on the main stage
I bought tickets though and I can't quit the show
Though I know its such a long way down, been such a long way now
That I've forgotten who I used to be
Now doing this is the only thing that's true to me
Easy, what you want
Could be another thing, it is a power of its own
Easy, what you've got
One minute it is here, and then another it is gone
And higher, and higher, I'm going on a limb
The wire, the wire, is growing very thin
And you can call it, but I'm never gonna wanna leave
The wire the wire, though it's giving up on me
[Verse 1: David Dallas]
It's time to knuckle down
No time to run around, acting crazy its real
Nothing Fugazi until I'm Swayze in ghost
I'm trying things that seem fucking crazy to most

Transmitting Live lyrics - David Dallas
Get up on my frequency
You can catch me broadcasting legally
This raw South Pacific scenery
What you see in me is nothing like that Peter Jack Flint
I never been the type to treat the truth like it's Mr. Fantastic
It's really so damn sick, I'll stick to the damn script
You think you're the man, I'm here to fuck up your plans quick
A little pedantic with the details kinda hand grip
Of this so-called ex persons speak my language
Don't write about this, listen up
You need to put your pants down cause you miss too much
'and the quest for getting bread ain't no telling where we'll be lead
Till I'm dead...another young Polynesian try to go with Instagram
I never donated the posies that didn't know my name
I done say Grace at the table, I'm thinking I changed
Been the same since primary school
Rolling on them BMXs, you were riding, fool
Thinking that it might be cool to play some Dr. Dre today
I was 'tryina learn this shit
Now I'm transmitting live
Feel the vibe, you can even ride
Or collide, you won't be denied
Tell a friend, could tell a friend
We're going in, transmitting live
Now I'm transmitting live
Feel the vibe, you can even ride
Or collide, you won't be denied
Tell a friend, could tell your friends
We're going in, transmitting live
On the TV up in high fidelity, don't give a fuck what they telling me
Catch a felony for real, they try to mute my voice
But can't monopolize the airwaves, now there's a choice
To let me hoist some of these issues on my shoulders
Nice getting colder, different role, different soldier
None of us can get a mortgage
Only thing that they reporting is some E Channel flings
All the music they recording sounds like people can't sing
And an athlete can't swig without a PD allegation
My boy just got the not, on board with three applications
New degree, congratulations, getting accusations
When they try to cut him off, say he ain't on a hunt for jobs
It's like fuck it, dog, didn't sign up for this
Had to grab this mic and try some other shit
Me and my production clique took that off the bucket list
Years later, look at what we coming with
Now I'm transmitting live
Feel the vibe, you can even ride
Or collide, you won't be denied
Tell a friend, could tell a friend
We're going in, transmitting live
Now I'm transmitting live
Feel the vibe, you can even ride
Or collide, you won't be denied
Tell a friend, could tell your friends

Runnin' lyrics - David Dallas
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
I said I'm running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
Lord said I'm running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
They ain't got no muscle, no hustle
No backbone, I stand alone
Not tripping, just saying, I'm different
Ain't hanging on the coattails of the next man
Passport in my left hand, thinking that you are next
Heck, hope you ain't holding your breath, man
Cause I'm out here, I'm hungry, I don't play around, trust me
Ain't hexed my drive since my Honda Civic got rusty
And my girl said she loved me, it's funny
Just thinking back, study hard for that 9 to 5
Like I thought that I'd be good with that
I was dreaming, still dreaming, spoil it on me like Willie Beaman
Still performing like Al Pachino, we stuck around in tuxedos
With my peoples, we growing up 'stead of seeing others slowing up
Tint squad, we throwing up, every time we showing up
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with you now
They don’t wanna give it up
We gon' make it out
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
It don't get no greater, feel like I'm on fire
Feel like I'm Johnny Storm, feel like I'm volatile
Explosive, get close enough to notice
Your girl act out of character when she see me approaching
Ain't pouching I'm just saying it's nothing
You punching above your weight, I'm something
She ain't seen no substitute in that A team
That's B.A., Baracus, that BS, that whackness
Get no play in my axis, make 'em jump like AJ Hackett
Guarantee you in these boots they couldn't walk one mile
I really need to go and hang it up like a drunk dial
So behind the times they should probably rock a sundial
Shattering their dreams, I could make Big Pun smile
Music from the soul, don't need them to help me
If they fiending for the flash, they should take another selfie
Said I'm running, I'm running like Mo Farah so dapper
Swear the whole world could go against me, it don't matter, man
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with you now
They don’t wanna give it up
We gon' make it out
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
I'm on the chase
Won't wait another day
My plan is falling into place
We ain't got much to lose
I wanna taste
Won't wait another day
My plan is falling into place
We ain't got much to lose
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with you now
They don’t wanna give it up
We gon' make it out
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
On my journey I pursue
I said I'm running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
I got the new world in my view
On my journey I pursue
Lord said I'm running, running for the city
I got the new world in my view
They ain't got no muscle, no hustle
No backbone, I stand alone
Not tripping, just saying, I'm different
Ain't hanging on the coattails of the next man
Passport in my left hand, thinking that you are next
Heck, hope you ain't holding your breath, man
Cause I'm out here, I'm hungry, I don't play around, trust me
Ain't hexed my drive since my Honda Civic got rusty
And my girl said she loved me, it's funny
Just thinking back, study hard for that 9 to 5
Like I thought that I'd be good with that
I was dreaming, still dreaming, spoil it on me like Willie Beaman
Still performing like Al Pachino, we stuck around in tuxedos
With my peoples, we growing up 'stead of seeing others slowing up
Tint squad, we throwing up, every time we showing up
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with you now
They don’t wanna give it up
We gon' make it out
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
It don't get no greater, feel like I'm on fire
Feel like I'm Johnny Storm, feel like I'm volatile
Explosive, get close enough to notice
Your girl act out of character when she see me approaching
Ain't pouching I'm just saying it's nothing
You punching above your weight, I'm something
She ain't seen no substitute in that A team
That's B.A., Baracus, that BS, that whackness
Get no play in my axis, make 'em jump like AJ Hackett
Guarantee you in these boots they couldn't walk one mile
I really need to go and hang it up like a drunk dial
So behind the times they should probably rock a sundial
Shattering their dreams, I could make Big Pun smile
Music from the soul, don't need them to help me
If they fiending for the flash, they should take another selfie
Said I'm running, I'm running like Mo Farah so dapper
Swear the whole world could go against me, it don't matter, man
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with you now
They don’t wanna give it up
We gon' make it out
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
I'm on the chase
Won't wait another day
My plan is falling into place
We ain't got much to lose
I wanna taste
Won't wait another day
My plan is falling into place
We ain't got much to lose
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with you now
They don’t wanna give it up
We gon' make it out
Get it while I'm living
All I ever hear is the clock tick, tick, ticking
So I'm 'bout my business
And I'm running, I'm running
I'm running with them, yeah
They don't wanna give it up
We don't make them ask it
Gotta Know lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Rokske)
I am, I am, I am, I am
Swinging for the stands, let me see your hands
Try to mash out on this life, fame and do the dance
What’s the plan, man, I’mma hit the city and sigh-see
Lot of imitators, you can tell them to bite these
Hide these on the sideline, like Spike Lee
I’m playing outta town, someone tell them to invite me
My flight leaves early tomorrow, let’s get acquainted
The town’s looking kinda dull, it’s time to paint it
Walking around this whole spot like we made it
If they ain’t talking about us, we will name it
Don’t give a fuck who they put up on the A list
See, anything we don’t like, we replace it
Change it, rearrange it, what’s your favorite drink?
Once you take the shot this what we be chasing
With, don’t make a dif’, yeah, you in the basic
Chick, tryna get the grip, this is what it is
Don’t be blinded by the lights
Killing day, we up all night
Pour it up, girl, it’s alright
I just gotta know
You wanna be my main squeeze, baby?
I gotta know
Will you give me what I need, baby?
I just gotta know
You wanna be my main squeeze, baby?
I gotta know
Will you give me what I need, baby?
I just gotta know
Yeah, get it right, roll with the winners
And if anybody asks, you don’t know when you’ll be finished
Ain’t nobody business and you can say ah, just ain’t no limits
This is my piece here, I be a hard act to follow
Probably heard when I see the bank balance tomorrow
For now it don’t matter, it’s no jetter …ain’t got no talent and no manners
I’m no fan of and don’t dabble in scrub shit
So if you need a cab you won’t have to cover it
Just pour it up, pour it up like Rihanna
Good girl gone bad, Charlotte to Samantha
Sex and the City fan, I know you can hand with
This, any photo looks good if the angle fits
But you final, you don’t need no camera tricks
Tryna get the grips, just what it is
Don’t be blinded by the lights
Killing day, we up all night
Pour it up, girl, it’s alright
I just gotta know
You wanna be my main squeeze, baby?
I gotta know
Will you give me what I need, baby?
I just gotta know
You wanna be my main squeeze, baby?

How Long lyrics - David Dallas (feat. PNC & Spycc)
How long
How long
Pour another drink, hot on some Patrone, this is soda with this vodka
It’s me in my zone, don’t give me a speech, I don’t wanna know
You should tell your friends to leave now, we should be alone
Don’t tell me I’m wrong, just tell me how long
How long must I wait if we both feel the same way
All you gotta say is it’s on
Girl, you are no actress, caught me with the dope
Fooling no one, whose intelligence are you tryna insult
With that act, I’m a smart man when it comes to affairs of the heart, man
Real fly, I just take off, baby, I can’t land either
When you hear me out your speaker, get you high, Wiz Khalifa
Till you think that I’m a keeper, could be at home playing Fifa
But I’m out here talking to you right now
Can’t hear everything you saying ‘cause the music’s quite loud
Talking ‘bout how you’re a student, you’re in UNI right now
Nod about your boyfriend and how you tryna lose him right now
Don’t be stupid, don’t be foolish, I’m not clueless right now
Talking about a slumber party, me and you should lay down
Ah, jokes, but a lot of truth is said and I wouldn’t mind be a fly on the wall
If you were getting dressed
Oh, you thought about possible places you could rest your head tonight
And you probably thinking mine
Pour another drink, hot on some Patrone, this is soda with this vodka
It’s me in my zone, don’t give me a speech, I don’t wanna know
You should tell your friends to leave now, we should be alone
Don’t tell me I’m wrong, just tell me how long
How long must I wait if we both feel the same way
All you gotta say is it’s on
How long I gotta wait before we go on a date
I’m a baller but I got that mean, independent trait
Generating all the winds, you and your mates all attend
You should bring them to the place, maybe we can get it in
Baby, with the pen I’m crazy, is anyone you hail
We can share a wild moment while we bumping Jessie Ware
Yeah, you got that scent, that flare, that’s so rare
I’m open, what you packing in the rest, got my player card revoking
Smoking on the green mixed with the codeine mixed with …
Had to tell me that you came right, hear you got a man
Well, he ain’t like me …as high as aeroplanes
We both know your boy’s a lame, what you doing? You should leave him
You play them wicked games, what you doing for the weekend? Let me know
Pour another drink, hot on some Patrone, this is soda with this vodka
It’s me in my zone, don’t give me a speech, I don’t wanna know
You should tell your friends to leave now, we should be alone
Don’t tell me I’m wrong, just tell me how long
How long must I wait if we both feel the same way
All you gotta say is it’s on
Man, I love the …I can’t say that I love but I can say that I love to ah
And I know I’m blunt but I’m just too grown for these games
Little too cold for these lames and I really do like your demeanor
Hey, your attitude is fiery and I feel airy in your presence
Baby, don’t deny me of these blessings, wanna intertwine with all your essence
In the dark let’s embark, let’s go and escape the sun
Wanna hear you say my name, say my name in your native tongue
You looking delicious, oh, them thighs, I just wanna bite them
Know you feel a lil’ bit gone, a lil’ bit faded, just don’t fight it
See, I never was the player type
Couldn’t see the point in being with a girl that you don’t wanna make your wife
But you stay the night
I never do play, only when I’m single … make the most of this time we have
When we close, can we toast? So baby, grab a glass so you can
Pour another drink, hot on some Patrone, this is soda and vodka
It’s me in my zone, don’t give me a speech, I don’t wanna know
You should tell your friends to leave now, we should be alone
Don’t tell me I’m wrong, just tell me how long
How long must I wait if we both feel the same way
All you gotta say is it’s on
Just tell me how long
How long
Pour another drink, hot on some Patrone, this is soda with this vodka
It’s me in my zone, don’t give me a speech, I don’t wanna know
You should tell your friends to leave now, we should be alone

My Mentality lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Freddie Gibbs)
Ice running through my veins, I’m the coldest, just give me half the time
I be running with it like I stole it
You would notice if you paid attention properly and play the lottery
I work with better odds, my favorite game is Monopoly
You copy me, get it? Understand I’m a prodigy
Ain’t no stopping me and my movement, man, this is prophecy
This probably the reason why the trying to sell economy
Ever far along in the sequel, but no apology
You ever hear inaudibly come from my lips
Like Beyonce adding aberrations, ain’t gonna say shit
Won’t be no prerecording it either, I just give them the ether
Freddie up on the feature, you should know the procedure
Fool, don’t act like you don’t hear the chicks singing the song
Y’all made me a believer, out to get it at all costs
Like a young mob boss, go getter, going out like this was V for Vendetta
Trend setter, I’m the coldest
You’re drawn to the side
S with the line, flew in, bout to fall from the sky
Just some thoughts for the mind
I’ll take a glimpse at the time
What’s the plan? Believe the world is mine
And my mentality is money orientated
Money orientated, anything for the paper
And my mentality is money orientated
Money orientated, anything for the paper
Fuck the world and everything in it
Drive away from the pigs, the same thing really
And if you… then we got them fangs in it
454 in my motor, work with some change in it
Jumped off of that label and started my own shit
Don’t need no nigga to hold my dick, bitch, I’m all on my own flip
Say my attitude like Nicky from the zino
I’ll probably die buried alive, Freddy Tarantino
Keep your shoe box and your rubber bands
Rocking dope, I’m racked up …I lay back in my lectra
Every nigga from my hood tryina make 100 stacks plus
Looks like every nigga is born as actor, get wrapped up
All I wanna do is smoke a stoggy and get loaded
And go fuck with my old bitch and my new hoe got demoted
But once I’m with this dick, I don’t know, she might just jump back on it
Got my dough hoe and my blow right off the coast of California
Bitch, we robbing, bitch, you holding
You’re drawn to the side
S with the line, flew in, bout to fall from the sky
Just some thoughts for the mind
I’ll take a glimpse at the time
What’s the plan? Believe the world is mine
And my mentality is money orientated
Money orientated, anything for the paper
And my mentality is money orientated
Money orientated, anything for the paper
Money orientated, legacy on my conscience
Long as I did it my way, then fuck a pro, I ain't bothered
Don't bother popping off with the lips
Like dropping the flame in a Molotov mix
Now with your best in, 'fuck a flame thrower
Harder than the south beach when King James came over
Painted over your little tags with end to end burners
I've been a quick learner, to win, I went further
Push hard to drive like Sebastian Vettel
Put my foot to the floor so hard that I broke the pedal
Killing everything you think that I made a pact with the devil
Ain't no high strings that you can pull on so fuck Geppetto
I'm my own puppet master, pour a glass of lager, sitting in mi casa
You ain't in my clasa, you bastards, I fathered your style, my ability
Got you sweating me but I never feel the humidity
My AC is on, nothing in this world that can take me on
So pump your breaks, be gone, I'm looking way beyond
What's within my reach, I'm tryina grow my wing span till I got down some beat
From Auckland City, the new Deli to Gary, Indiana
The world gonna be my oyster and don't come on a platter
If they don't wanna bet it, and I do
Then I'mma keep taking it as long as I'm alive
So try stopping me, man
I be running with it like I stole it
You would notice if you paid attention properly and play the lottery
I work with better odds, my favorite game is Monopoly
You copy me, get it? Understand I’m a prodigy

Local Celeb lyrics - David Dallas
Stepped up in your town, came to shut it down
Not tryna step on anyone’s toes, just do my thing and bounce
If you lost our whereabouts, where we are I couldn’t pick it on a map
So don’t think I’m tryna move in with you cats, just relax
Don’t feel threatened …version of Wayne, too
As if he on, too, tryna stunt on me ‘cause he’s been on a plane, too
It’s not a big deal, not tryna show out, you know…
Like he got money to blow out, knows the bounces, gets them thrown out
King of the clubs but he’s never left his home town
And you can keep your women, bro, don’t be mess talking us, we just slipping, bro
This all be really famous in your city, bro
I’m sorry I ain’t in it, bust it, take a pitch and throw ‘em
I know what’s going down, everywhere’s the same
Round here it’s like cheese, everybody knows your name
You’re a local celeb, right, local celeb, right
Local celeb, live the local celeb life
I know what’s going down, everywhere’s the same
Round here it’s like cheese, everybody knows your name
You’re a local celeb, right, local celeb, right
Local celeb, live the local celeb life
Girl, I know your type, posing on that Instagram
Tear into every other guy, I hear like it’s a mess way that you don’t give a damn
What these other girls think
And tell a snobby belly qualify to serve drinks
Never worked a real job but you model sometimes
Heard you an actress, too, you hosted club nights
You tryna sing as well, you really love the lights
Long as they’re on you, who gives a fuck, right?
Don’t hate the player, hate the game
You might just date a 40 player for the fame
You wanna be alright, just to be a name
But look too thirsty and it just makes you a lame
I know what’s going down, everywhere’s the same
Round here it’s like cheese, everybody knows your name
You’re a local celeb, right, local celeb, right
Local celeb, live the local celeb life
I know what’s going down, everywhere’s the same
Round here it’s like cheese, everybody knows your name
You’re a local celeb, right, local celeb, right
Local celeb, live the local celeb life
I seen stars before and you ain’t one
Picked up a brush, it doesn’t mean you can paint, some
Sparkles up and you thought you could take one
I tell the true stories and I hate all the fake ones
I seen stars before and you ain’t one
Picked up a brush, it doesn’t mean you can paint, some
Sparkles up and you thought you could take one
I tell the true stories and I hate all the fake ones
Not tryna step on anyone’s toes, just do my thing and bounce
If you lost our whereabouts, where we are I couldn’t pick it on a map
So don’t think I’m tryna move in with you cats, just relax
Don’t feel threatened …version of Wayne, too

You’re a local celeb, right, local celeb, right
Local celeb, live the local celeb life
I know what’s going down, everywhere’s the same
Round here it’s like cheese, everybody knows your name
You’re a local celeb, right, local celeb, right
Local celeb, live the local celeb life
I seen stars before and you ain’t one
Picked up a brush, it doesn’t mean you can paint, some
Sparkles up and you thought you could take one
I tell the true stories and I hate all the fake ones
I seen stars before and you ain’t one
Picked up a brush, it doesn’t mean you can paint, some
Sparkles up and you thought you could take one
I tell the true stories and I hate all the fake ones
Southside lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Sid Diamond & Mareko)
278, you already know
It ain't really much to look at but it's home
Used to bus from the old bar which was to go
Into town rolling through Otahuhu depot
Thinking how we ended up here
Yeah no secret there's some people doing tough here
Could be rough here, if your parents come here from an island
In the hope of a better life for the child and an education
But they ain't got time to keep an eye on 'em
They workin' every day, they won't even see retirement
School don't teach you to deal with this environment
Another poly kid left to his own devices
And you look at what they reinforce
When they talk about us doing crime, playing sports
Standing in the dole line, or in the court
Think it don't affect us all?
Look at boys from the Southside
If you looking from the outside
Some scared to death when they see us
Cos every 10/7 they featurin'
Boys from the Southside
But we represent it with pride
When you feel you come from the bottom
Til you reach the top, ain't no stopping 'em
Boys from the Southside
It's about time, all the people talking shit now
Figure out why, this town is so influential
The real melting pot, immigration central
Culture, our knives be so instrumental
But still we never acting like we too damn special
Don't ever let nobody say we all just criminals
Round here it ain't all that simple
Raised there, struggle city a place where
A population, Hori, fob slash amazing
Most of 'em work 9 to 5 to pay rent
Go to church and sing songs and pray for better days
Better pay and a better location
The kids choose sport over education
And dream that one day the All Blacks take them
Somewhere, exposed to the drugs and the gang life
Think it's cool to get involved, end up in the can right
Got a lot of teens pushing prams before they see life
Cos their parents did the same thing so it seems right
Seem right to say the same, a product of pride over law so
When they got my back like the tat on my torso
That's why I give back, ask where my awards go
To the schools in the Southside
If you're looking for me outside
Some scared of death when they see us
Then they talk shit when they leave
Like the boys from the Southside
Are good for nothing so fuck 'em
Give 'em no chance just cuff 'em
If it was up to the cops and the judges
The boys from the Southside
Would be outlined
Shot on sight
Here we got crime in the area
If you got shine then it's any up
Only cos we broke tryna get our accounts right
What's going in our minds, six words
How we gonna get by
I don't know exactly
But we ain't gonna wait in the dole line
Yeah 267 landed a aeroplane
Back when my parents came
From the islands
With a Bible and a pair of J's (yeah Jandals)
Trying to set a better way to get our educa-
Tions that we found street smarts and a free pass to the green pastures
Around these parts we were blessed with the big heart
That can see past all the eat asses
Aw, what you thought I was gonna talk
All about walking with gangs where the drugs be
How about I touch on how
David Lange ran the country, right where the thugs be
John Walker might run at the tops, long distance
Scott Dixon on the track now
Rather a hand up than a hand down
All my people stand down
When I'm back out the Southside
Black white with the brown pride
Even yellows part of the picture
The boil up's a perfect mixture
Here out the southside
And we rep this shit til the death
Walk with my head held high to the sky
My T-shirt say Southside til I die
The boy from the Southside
The bodies outlined with an aura
You can see it so clearly
I mean it looks like a Shifnal dairy
Or a Scorpions home crowd cheering
Or a Otahuhu mums eyes tearing
Up when the sons graduated from OC
26 to the 27 to the 29 of the 09 that's where the home be
It ain't really much to look at but it's home
Used to bus from the old bar which was to go
Into town rolling through Otahuhu depot

Follow lyrics - David Dallas
Yea if you come from where we come from
No we don't ever run from
Gettin money in a lump sum just to pay it back later
If the family need a favour then it ain't nothin major
Paper changes hands quicker then a dj hits the fader
That's just how we do how we grew hard to understand
That as a sour youth mum explainin that you ain't allowed to choose
Your family's your family they gonna look out for you
Still a samoan boy don't forget about your roots
Growin up in AK where they don't forget their rugby boots
Didn't play much five-eighth I would play way more kurupt
And snoop play way more mobb deep boom boom say hey all my people who
Been goin against the grain but don't forget bout why we really do
What we do where we came from got our names from
People I lay next to in the ground when my day comes
Chance to make my music a gift for me that they brung
Think I ain't proud then you mistaken uce
[Hook]
That's just how we do how we're raised island roots auckland ways
People overseas wonder if I'll ever change
But I came from the future
Today is tomorrow
That's why what ever we do
Then the world gonna follow [3x]
Celebrate it with my fam
Feel like we just hit the lotto
The world gonna follow [2x]
Man I came from NZ my today is their tomorrow
I got dem laid back island genes
I don't need no drama
In my ie lavalava listenin to dear mama
With my peers sippin lagers reminiscin on the years
Made a tears that we shed for the departed disappeared
So for real rod see you when I get there
I still got some things that I need to tackle bout to get my headgear like I'm Thurston or Kronfeld man I'm certain
If things round here were perfect
Feel I'd be half the person
I was birthed in Middlemore for a reason
On any day in auckland could see all four seasons
So we're born believen the sky ain't the limit its just somethin to react to
Things are lookin cloudy now but the sun will crack through
Umbrella packed too you can read it like I'm tattoed
Proud of where I'm from it pulls me back like
A lasso laugh how we used to pay for sky before the rent
This that hamo that palagi pito saute aukilagi shit
[Hook (2x)]
No we don't ever run from

Right There lyrics - David Dallas
So just keep it right there, keep it right there
If we don't keep it down, down somebody might hear
Let me make this quite clear, that I don't care if you don't
So if you're feeling me, scream my name girl you go
Don't try to give me kudos, know I'm numero uno
Can never question why game, we ain't laying kudos
It's more like doing Judo, gotta know what to do though
It's a context sport no knowing this could be'
Feeling like I'm from Pluto, another world
Know you ain't feeling these other dudes that make you wanna hurl
Listen girl, roll with the wind there's no more bad luck, maybe later
You could be stripped like a stat shot player, haters
Tryna cut my grass they ain't never done a lot
Slowly getting 'I'll always be the grass, win the lot
High fucking, high feeling like a younger nas
Put the accolades and the only thing that's coming fast
Keep it right there, keep it right there
Said this could be a breeze
Keep it right there, keep it right there
Stop listening to me
Keep it right there, keep it right there
Real, real, real
Keep it right there, keep it right there
Take notes
You've been talking up the game, make sure not to do the same
The promise overdue, never sold my soul to do my fame
Worst the river I'm expecting some ribbon
I don't mess with the chicas, hit me 2 pops
See what happens from here ain't really set in stone
Plenty dudes step into the place when they're tryna get you home
Or just tryna get you for, I'm not tryna doing either
I'll be studying the night, pulling an all nighter so
Roll around if you want a tutorial
All I do is practical, I'm not into boring you
Theories for the lecturers, I'm not tryna tutor you
Your brain responds better to some 1 on 1 schooling
Get the feeling that you're learning quick
Get the feeling that you're really trying to please
Like someone who works for tips
Get the feeling you could murder this, so keep it right
There girl instead of turning quick
Oh yeah
Keep it right there, keep it right there
Said this could be a breeze
Keep it right there, keep it right there
Stop listening to me
Keep it right there, keep it right there
Real, real, real
Keep it right there, keep it right there

One More lyrics - David Dallas
You ain't gotta say no more
We ain't tryna break no more
We're just tryna hear one more
Bring her back, baby goes
You ain't gotta say no more
We ain't tryna break no more
We're just tryna hear one more
Bring her back, baby goes
Sometimes'll be a long night after a long day
You should take a picture and stop boring out that'
Mix it with that tonic water, then there's just relax
Getting in my one's addictive, I'm bout to relax
This is NZ drinking cold and running though these veins
Education running through my brain used to fuck
That damn native DMC chains
Nowadays I come from rock with a lot of these lames
That they plan when I'm stepping out, you's tryna step me out
Play some cool shit I know the words
And they look out the fool
Really ain't my fault that you're a square you step it up
After 3 AM just don't bother tryna get in touch
Feeling like I'm super groove cause now I can't get enough
Dudes probably need a fully cover they can't get no luck
With the girls in here, but before I leave
If I can't tell the DJ to play another jam
You ain't gotta say no more
We ain't tryna break no more
We're just tryna hear one more
Bring her back, baby goes
You ain't gotta say no more
We ain't tryna break no more
We're just tryna hear one more
Bring her back, baby goes
There they go, there they go
Call me long hole Dita
There's sun on the horizon and there's gonna be seeing me all
I've been off of this bourbon so for certain I'll be down
For whatever wanna trust I'm feeling a little more underground
Swear that we don't fuck around, treat this nightclub like my lawn
Boot this DJ, plug the iPhone and play my own sound
And on that note pulsing on my chest
Stepped up in this bitch with my hat low
Dudes are '.next getting up tight
Cuffing up the women tryna whisper to them some light
Girl I'm just one guard, don't get yourself tongue tied
Really explain it made it on the blood line
Out here tryna on one cause I'm worth for it just like you did
Bet yo girl just recognize me like I was the Nike tip
You see that exit bro, squish just do it
One more tune before we'
You ain't gotta say no more
We ain't tryna break no more
We're just tryna hear one more
Bring her back, baby goes
You ain't gotta say no more
We ain't tryna break no more
We're just tryna hear one more
Bring her back, baby goes
We ain't tryna break no more
We're just tryna hear one more

The Gate lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Ruby Frost)
And somehow say goodbye
Pretend I’m yawning
The hottest tears in my eyes
I’m just tired, right?
It’s an early flight
I had a late night, packing up
Couple files I was backing up
Guess I’m starting acting up
It’s hard enough as it is
If I don’t go, I can’t say that I lived!
And then it will be impossible to forgive myself
I don’t try to make a better life for us [?]
Is all I’ve got! I wish there was another way!
Wishing that the industry was closed and the home,
Cause every other day I set and guessing myself
Asking if I really got it
My worst fear is that you’ll ever be out of pocket.
All I ever wanted to be was a bread winner
For everyday I stick around here my chance gets slimmer
My faith gets thinner
And try something that you can’t take with you!
Wish I could take your load, take your load
It will be easier to carry this load
Take your load, take your load
It will be easier to carry this load!
That’s my plan
But it’s boring now, they just call out my name
So my feelings won’t change
But it’s just no more I can do for us
If my mind wants to stay
Thank God you feel the same
Tell me no tears at the gate!
Know that I’ll be back again
Thank God you feel the same
There will be no tears at the gate!
If we don't try then we're not alive
But if I’ve cut the head off, then we won’t survive!
I hop this bond is strong enough to stop the guillotine
Cause I know that you’ll be missing on the little things!
And so I missed them, kissing the morning, missed them
I got the work, mister reassurance talks
The massage on my shoulders hurt.
Missed your touch and it’s nothing to replace that
Hope you’re never stupid enough to think you can forsake that!
Do something you can’t take back
I know you feel the same!
I hear that worry in your voice, I don’t feel the pain
Promise soon things will be real again
And we can visit all these places that remain!
One thing’s for sure is my feelings will never change
This ain't simple but time is something that you can’t take with you!
Wish I could take your load, take your load
It will be easier to carry this load
Take your load, take your load
It will be easier to carry this load!
That’s my plan
But it’s boring now, they just call out my name
So my feelings won’t change
But it’s just no more I can do for us
If my mind wants to stay
Thank God you feel the same
Tell me no tears at the gate!
Know that I’ll be back again
Thank God you feel the same
There will be no tears at the gate!
Pretend I’m yawning
The hottest tears in my eyes
I’m just tired, right?

Start Looking Around lyrics - David Dallas
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
We gonna make it to the top, it won't be long
So get it right, get it right!
Don’t get it wrong, get it wrong!
We gonna make it to the top, it won’t be long!
Yeah, feeling like today I’ve been to hell and back
Told my girl start cooking dinner and pull out the welcome mat
Can’t nobody tell me jack, radio was hella whack
So I turn that shit off for the drive home
Tape adapter plugged into the iphone
Now I’m up in my zone, feeling like a mother fucking cyclone
I could do whatever I set my sights on
Step through the front door like honey I’m home
See those Nikes on the floor, you reckon someone would buy those?
Grab up all this useless shit, lets log into TradeMe
Get rid of it all babe, can’t nobody cage me
Upper-class dude for a change, bit sick of all this shit
This job these gigs is all the same
But sick of all this pay, going on this place.. I don’t even wanna stay at
I think I go insane, you got a dream you need to chase that
We needa bounce asap, they say you only get one shot
Believe I’m gonna take that, and make that, yeah!
Woah, no more sitting round
Wishing things were different down here
Man, I’m feeling like a change!
It's time to start lookin' round, start lookin' round, start lookin' round!
Woah, no more sittin' round
Wishing things were different down here
Man, I’m feeling like today
It's time to start lookin round, start lookin round
Start lookin round
Yeah, let me take you back a couple years
Way before I met a couple peers, a couple years
Before I knew that rapping could be a career
Met a girl
Type of chick that probably turned some brothers queer
My mates said she was bad news
I wasn’t smart enough to hear
All advice is going in
One in out the other ear
All my cash gone and her hands
On another pair
Of shoes or some food or a subtle hair, color change
She all in my ear, saying music is just fun and games
Telling me to grow up, that all my mates are fucking lames
I’m caught in the middle, drinking booze just to numb the brain
She’s so insecure to something, well and she just complains
Unhappy with, her, life, looking for someone to blame
Too lazy to go get it,wishes she could coast the fame
Claiming she don’t need me
But she’s bluffing like a poker game
It’s insane that I stuck around at all, misery love company
Man, I’m better on my own!
Woah, no more sitting round
Wishing things were different down here
Man, I’m feeling like a change!
It's time to start lookin round, start lookin round, start lookin round
Woah, I ain’t taking no more shit from this bitch
I'm bout to exit quick, feeling good today
It's time to start lookin' round, start lookin' round, start lookin' round
We gonna make it to the top, it won't be long
So get it right, get it right!
Don’t get it wrong, get it wrong!
We gonna make it to the top, it won’t be long!
Yeah, feeling like today I’ve been to hell and back
Told my girl start cooking dinner and pull out the welcome mat
Can’t nobody tell me jack, radio was hella whack
So I turn that shit off for the drive home
Tape adapter plugged into the iphone
Now I’m up in my zone, feeling like a mother fucking cyclone
I could do whatever I set my sights on
Step through the front door like honey I’m home
See those Nikes on the floor, you reckon someone would buy those?
Grab up all this useless shit, lets log into TradeMe
Get rid of it all babe, can’t nobody cage me
Upper-class dude for a change, bit sick of all this shit
This job these gigs is all the same
But sick of all this pay, going on this place.. I don’t even wanna stay at
I think I go insane, you got a dream you need to chase that
We needa bounce asap, they say you only get one shot
Believe I’m gonna take that, and make that, yeah!
Woah, no more sitting round
Wishing things were different down here
Man, I’m feeling like a change!
It's time to start lookin' round, start lookin' round, start lookin' round!
Woah, no more sittin' round
Wishing things were different down here
Man, I’m feeling like today
It's time to start lookin round, start lookin round
Start lookin round
Yeah, let me take you back a couple years
Way before I met a couple peers, a couple years
Before I knew that rapping could be a career
Met a girl
Type of chick that probably turned some brothers queer
My mates said she was bad news
I wasn’t smart enough to hear
All advice is going in
One in out the other ear
All my cash gone and her hands
On another pair
Of shoes or some food or a subtle hair, color change
She all in my ear, saying music is just fun and games
Telling me to grow up, that all my mates are fucking lames
I’m caught in the middle, drinking booze just to numb the brain
She’s so insecure to something, well and she just complains
Unhappy with, her, life, looking for someone to blame
Too lazy to go get it,wishes she could coast the fame
Claiming she don’t need me
But she’s bluffing like a poker game
It’s insane that I stuck around at all, misery love company
Man, I’m better on my own!
Woah, no more sitting round
Wishing things were different down here
Man, I’m feeling like a change!
It's time to start lookin round, start lookin round, start lookin round
Woah, I ain’t taking no more shit from this bitch
I'm bout to exit quick, feeling good today
It's time to start lookin' round, start lookin' round, start lookin' round
Take A Picture lyrics - David Dallas
Yea, I said it's D dot, D-A double L-A-S, she just thinking L-M-F-A-O, tell that she ain't well impressed.
Cause we ain't on telly yet, ain't getting those spins like Rihanna umbrella yet, so she acting celibate,
But I'm in my element, I don't take that shit to heart,
I like proving them wrong just to make myself look smart.
They see the future as a blur to me it's looking sharp
'cos my moneys on me you should get in from the start.
So we order 4 shots of raw Jager while the bottle pours,
think a flowers gotta fear, when you know you got it all.
'Cause we on the bottom floor looking at the top and all,
people say we crazy but they just bet on all the bores.
They just wanna wish for all things to fall on to their lap,
I'm on a mission for it I won't sit and pause until it happens.
Baby quit your chitter, chatter, yap and kick back and handle the shot,
in a couple years you won't believe you met us in the spot.
You should take a picture, (ca chick)
Take a flick, before the world's up on this shit.
And say this, you were down when they weren't,
when no one gave a damn what we did.
Here we are pouring out shots at the bar,
swearing one day we'll be stars.
Take a flick before the worlds up on this shit.
Take a flick, remember it in a couple years when you see dudes, resembling us.
Then run and tell your friends that you met us and it was nuts,
we pour some drinks and partied 'til the sun came up.
See it ain't even a thing that we ain't even a bang,
and I ain't really no singer, ain't really no king.
I'm just a simple man that's tryna do really big things,
from the land of flightless birds, bout to grow really big wings.
And girl I really do think that the truth come out the more that we drink,
wouldn't tell you this stuff otherwise I'd probably feel stink.
But you caught me on an off day, or is it an on day,
shit, I don't even know it's been a long day.
Driving past the bombay, plus one for my lady friend,
make a mental note of this things won't be the same again.
When you see us our names again they gonna be up in lights.
But now the rest is history for now it's just another night.
So take a picture, (ca chick)
Take a flick, before the world's up on this shit.
And say this, you were down when they weren't,
when no one gave a damn what we did.
Here we are pouring out shots at the bar,
swearing one day we will be stars.
Take a flick before the worlds up on this shit.

Caught In A Daze lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Freddie Gibbs)
[Verse 1: David Dallas]
Yeah, yeah, I'm high upon a new wave of confidence
I'm trying to ride it to a few different continents
Known in the country that I'm from but anonymous
To most of the populous and dominant
Awkward places, I'm from New Zealand and I'm use to seeing different faces
And they don't ever turn the radio to different stations
I gotta do it though cause Mum's getting sick of waiting
When I was young she used to tell me "Have some fucking patience"
But she loved the baby boy, raise the bar like I'm on roids with my game playing with the joysticks
I'm grateful for the voice I've been given
Big boy now my purple whip about to have all of the sort of bugs flicking
[?] sippin' vodka soda with the twist in
Jamiroquai playing I don't say it should be different it's still hip hop in the vein
Smurnoff in the brain, always been a cool dude I'll let you know if you can say
[Hook]
I'm kicking back, feeling good on a Friday
Ain't letting all the bullshit get in my way
Know that I stay
Caught in a daze, caught in a daze, caught in a daze, caught in a daze
I'm in a good mood, don't mess in my high, things are looking up
You can see in my eyes, so you know I'm
Caught in a daze, caught in a daze, caught in a daze, caught in a daze
[Verse 2: Freddie Gibbs]
Bitch I’m caught up in a daze, caught up with these polices again
Bitch, got these swisshers and these vehicles we chiefin up in
That’s why they hate
Custom colours, has my niece end up on 6's
If you ever tryna' find me, I prolly' be water whippin'
Cookin' up and cuttin'
Open up baggy, stuff em' like muffins
Out of dope, but joy yo prices ain't in my budget, so fuck it
I stuck em' up, and got on the highway
Freddie Gibbs get fried, like everyday is Friday
In the place I reside, I keep that iron cause them goons gonna' be lurking
Keep my dough spot popping and my boost phone twerkin'
Put me on the licking and anybody move, I'ma' murk em'
Knock em' out their shoes and give their ass the blues, that's for certain
Bitch, you purpin' n' you flirtin' with death, if you fuck of mine
For your shit to walk up and take your life, in this life of crime
In this life of mine I've tooken' away some; put my life on the line
Agents ask me for a statement, I decline
[Hook]
[Verse 3: David Dallas]
Yeah I'm sayin'
It’s all, they can never talk me down, deeply rooted in the ground
Way I spit it's so profound, know the sound like some shit you heard before
But it ain't everyone's a [?] now but I'm using different paint man
I'm using different ink for the story, this is guts this is glory
It's the rush of performing, It's the slut when you're horny
It's the feeling that you get when you wake up in the morning
All that feeling that you get when the sun's dawning on another day
And you ain't seen your life another way
Working at the same job for next to nothing pay
Plugging away it's the dreams trying to hold this shit together
While the worst tuck in away, the same sick
Struggling it ain't no fame, one you looking back
But fuck if you ever [?] from that
So why you see it like a vintage car
You put your all in your writing, I once [?] you can rise
You talk about it with your friends as a symbol of a hard work
This is all of me sewing there looking that doing lenses
[?] it's probably right [?] and my voice is so committed
[Hook]

Nothing To Do lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Pieter T)
Don’t give me up
You ain’t gonna take me down
I don’t like to remember when you were around
But you walk my way like you got something to say
This ain't got shit to do with you
Been a while since you had it like this I bet
Said I’d never do better but this chick I met
Is a bit of all right yea she’s pretty alright
And she ain't in the club trying to kick it all night
doesn’t get to drunk, talk shit, cause fights
Finally enough, other chicks seem to all like here
Unlike you and me were together you were on some tupac shit you against the world
I was on some Marvin gay shit what’s going on
Sometimes Rodney king cant we all just get along
You were never ever wrong I was never ever right
We would just forever fight, girl I had to get a life
And I’m happy now, yet you coming back around like its happy hour
Tryin take more shots tryin tap me out
I gotta let you know it ain't gonna happen now
Don’t give me up
You ain’t gonna take me down
I don’t like to remember when you were around
But you walk my way like you got something to say
This ain't got shit to do with you
I don’t know what the issue is
Why you seem to really care who I kick it with
When we broke up you didn’t give a shit
don’t cry dry your eyes here’s a tissue Mrs.
Heard you backstabbed my girl and I’m sick of it
I don’t wanna hear you pleading your innocence
I don’t even wanna see you a little bit
And that’s all it is you hate that you isn’t Mrs.
Its your ego, got your world going balls up like a free-throw
Probably got you playing fuck you by cee low
Think about me like its really my fault
I’m thinking about you like your really bipolar
Really quite over your juvenile ways
Better back that ass up like juvenile says
Before you thinking coming round here
Go and get your own shit together
Do I make myself clear
Don’t give me up
You ain’t gonna take me down
I don’t like to remember when you were around
But you walk my way like you got something to say
This ain't got shit to do with you
You ain’t gonna take me down
I don’t like to remember when you were around
But you walk my way like you got something to say
This ain't got shit to do with you
Been a while since you had it like this I bet
Said I’d never do better but this chick I met
Is a bit of all right yea she’s pretty alright
And she ain't in the club trying to kick it all night
doesn’t get to drunk, talk shit, cause fights
Finally enough, other chicks seem to all like here
Unlike you and me were together you were on some tupac shit you against the world

And I’m happy now, yet you coming back around like its happy hour

Life Is (Interlude) lyrics - David Dallas
From the pacific island of Samoa via Middlemore
And still as raw as the day a little boy was delivered on
Deliver non-fiction all real, no silicon
Been sitting on a goldmine the way I been killing songs
Underdog, but ain't trying to play this position long
The top cats is looking weak, but I feel gorilla strong
Ain't kidding dog King Kong ain't got shit on me
Word to Curren$y I'm flying but ain't got weed on me
You can catch me on a long haul
Riding Air New Zealand or Qantas
Me and Che hit the states with no sponsors
And accomplished more than more these fuckhead labels did
Even though they had untold grinds to pay for shit
Pushing trash indie bands whose resume's paper thin
That play South By once then never play again
I play to win, put money on the line I don't have
Then say "fuck it if I fail it ain't so bad"
Being broke, I'd rather take a risk than be a joke
Who thinks he's really living life when he ain't leaving home
I'm trying to see the world they just trying to meet some girls
And get in the club for free for a weekend splurge
See how quick they on my dick when I reemerge
On some Jean Grae shit, they just real gay pricks
D dot D A bitch, say it with authority
People asking what's good, I'm in that minority
You thinking music sucks now, they're in that majority
Ain't in no fraternity they probably in sororities
And we don't even have those where I'm from
People say the clocks ticking down 'til I blow up
I'm a time bomb but
Great stories don't always get told, ask Saigon
I just hope these songs click with people like a Nikon
Ironic, ’cause for that I need for them to click the icon
Hit the ‘Save As’ menu button, yeah the right one
Burn a fuckin' CD, chuck it on your Ipod
Play it in your car, this some shit you can vibe on
Shouts to Adidas, it's been a while since I had Nikes on
And anybody else who helped the bro to keep the lights on, yeah
[Outro: David Brent]
Life is just a series of peaks and troughs
And you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out
Or on a peak until you're coming down
That's it; you know, you'll never know what's around the corner, but it's all good, you know
"If you want the rainbow, you'll have to put up with the rain"
You know which 'philosopher' said that?
Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits
And still as raw as the day a little boy was delivered on
Deliver non-fiction all real, no silicon
Been sitting on a goldmine the way I been killing songs
Underdog, but ain't trying to play this position long
The top cats is looking weak, but I feel gorilla strong

Till Tomorrow lyrics - David Dallas
Stay prepared for the up and downs, life is like a see-saw
Some say it’s a bitch, man I couldn’t agree more
One minute you’re on top, then you’re in the ER
One minute she wants you, then she wants to leave all
All I can do is take the good with the bad and keep on
Gotta work hard, gotta give the fans the mean songs
Give these programmers more shit that they can sleep on
Give these biting cunts more shit that they can feast on
Money come and go out your life like the seasons
People do too sometimes without a reason
And it kind of seamed wrong when they took his life
Should of killed this dude, he’s a fucking dick right
And maybe get some insight from jesus, ala, jehova
Some will prey on Sunday some will spend it hung over
Whether drunk or sober, hearts is getting colder, globe is getting warmer
Maybe that's some karma for real
Woke up feeling down, now I’m feeling great
Things can really flip around on you in a day
But till tomorrow, till tomorrow
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Pay day I’m rich, next day poor
sittin’ on my bed wondering why I bother for
but till tomorrow, till tomorrow
oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Most people all talk, no action
Over that shit and numerate it to a fraction
Maybe on the internet having little word wars,
Typing in their 2 cents acting like it’s worth more
Tell you how to surf, when they’ve never touched a surfboard
Dissing Tiger Woods when they’re fucking even worse whores
You get the urge wanna go and call them out
Making you just as bad as them by all accounts
And what it all amounts to ain’t shit,
Working at a slave ship hit by the same whip as the person that you’re arguing with
A lot of people that you're arguing about all remain ripped
Say laters to this try focus on your own life then you see Haitians with no homes no lights
Make you grateful for what you have but got to make you wonder if you really are giving what you can
(It's a trip)
Woke up feeling down, now I’m feeling great
Things can really flip around on you in a day
But till tomorrow, till tomorrow
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
pay day I’m rich, next day poor
sittin’ on my bed wondering why I bother for
but till tomorrow, till tomorrow
oh oh oh, oh oh oh
We all wake up and go oh I ain't I’m not 18 anymore
You know I’m in my thirties, but so what at least I got my health
If you haven’t got your health, if you’ve got one leg
At least I haven’t got 2 legs missing, and if you have lost both legs and both arms
Just go at least I’m not dead, I'd rather be dead
Woke up feeling down, now I’m feeling great
Things can really flip around on you in a day
But till tomorrow, till tomorrow
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Pay day I’m rich, next day poor.
sittin’ on my bed wondering why I bother for
But till tomorrow, till tomorrow
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

We all wake up and go oh I ain't I’m not 18 anymore
You know I’m in my thirties, but so what at least I got my health
If you haven’t got your health, if you’ve got one leg
At least I haven’t got 2 legs missing, and if you have lost both legs and both arms
Just go at least I’m not dead, I'd rather be dead
Woke up feeling down, now I’m feeling great
Things can really flip around on you in a day
But till tomorrow, till tomorrow
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Pay day I’m rich, next day poor.
sittin’ on my bed wondering why I bother for
But till tomorrow, till tomorrow
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Ain't Perfect lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Jordache)
I just want everything to be perfect
Everything to fit into place
House, food on the table and some liquor to chase
But my moms still hooked on how cigarettes taste
And my dad lost his eye and a bit of his face
about a month back cause of cancer
Trying to figure how to really deal, no evander
This sort of shit can make you jump off the [?]
When peeps that don’t know you seem to think that you’re a wanker
But I don’t harbor no anger to em, my big brothers oversees wonder how he’s doing
Wish that he could be home with us, he a loner at heart so worry if he’s on his own too much
And I owe so much to the fam, that im feeling like a failure
When I cant even lend a hand on the money front
I’m hoping things is on the up and up
When my career fingers crossed I don’t fuck it up
But all it takes is one man and one word
And the greatest song make it go unheard
Lord knows there was better men before that went under the radar
I kid you no stories, so I isn’t mad at stations who don’t play my recordings
I’m just fucking happy that ‘m performing
And that you listening to me, right now, you’ll see
So you should put your hands up, hey
It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay
I’m living proof you could do what you never thought
And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk
Bro you should put your hands up, hey
It isn’t perfect but we be doing okay
I’m living proof you could do what you never thought
And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk
Where we headed now there isn’t no guessing
But I’m tired of hearing the same old questions
When ya gonna find a real profession
I don’t need a reminder bro’s stop stressing
I rather keep messing with this music shit and hardly make a cent
Before I go to David Brent just to pay the rent
Because an office cubicle is not suitable when you’re the star
Like they trying to make you play the bench
I ain’t content with that, I wont stop to surrender like [?]
Ya see the flip side is I need a new Mac pro
A lack though [?]
Could probably ask my girlfriend if she would lend for that
But too proud for a hand or a hand out
I’m tired of staying this still, I’m trying to stand out
Be the man now, that’s the plan now
From here on guess we’ll see out it fans out
So you should put your hands up, hey
It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay
I’m living proof you could do what you never thought
And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk
Bro you should put your hands up, hey
It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay
I’m living proof you could do what you never thought
And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk
I know I walk like I grew up in a war zone
I tread lightly, even when a store wont
Blow my horn though,
I don’t like to draw no attention to myself
How ironic my careers based on getting on the shelf
Or a blog or a stage, put my whole life on the page
And I hope that some relate to what I say
It Sounds so vain when I put it in those terms
When asked about the industry I ain’t go no words
But people press try to ask me how them hoes were
Wonder why I wasn’t at the club when my bros were
On the red carpet showing up with a chauffer
And VIP with big bottles of patron were
And truth I was at home, chillin on the 360
Knowing if I died them fake dudes wouldn’t miss me
Everybody’s best friends when they getting tipsy
But when the free drinks run they seem to jet quickly
So you should put your hands up, hey
It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay
I’m living proof you could do what you never thought
And best believe it’s the truth that you hear me talk
Bro you should put your hands up, hey
It ain’t perfect but we be doing okay

Sideline lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Che Fu)
[Verse 1: David Dallas]
Know the boy D-Double do it all day
Get the messing with his tracks, no foreplay
Seems simple now but it wasn't always
Used to sit up in the Pap High hallways
Teacher put me there saying that I talk to much
I thought I knew it all but I never knew much
I come to school late because my form room sucked
And we hang out by the canteen all through lunch
Young teen with a pac(men)tality
No dream I can make reality
All I care about is popularity
Trying to pass Jessica trying to get a touch
And a Mufti day try them with some new Chucks
Try them with some new Nikes or something
They didn't give a fuck about assignments or nothing
Didn't make music even though I loved it
Scared to try , high to shy get busted[?]
[Hook: Che Fu]
So I sit on the sideline
Despite in my time
If I could be in their shoes
The things that id do
But wishing won't get you know where
Don't be scared to go there
If you sit in my wake
Do it the right way
(yeah ya)
[Verse 2: David Dallas]
No I wasn't in the first fifteen
Wasn't in the choir, Never learned to sing
Couldn't play an instrument or pluck a string
Or the little rich kid who's dad bought him a car
A regular dude fading in to the background
Never took center stage, didn't really stand out
I remember school TalentQuest
We would hang out see this other dude rap
Then he'd be the man around E block
For like the next two weeks, scoring all of the chicks
While these Diggas my mom bought, are falling to bits
And I'm off in detention, for ignoring Mr. Smitts
And this bitch mocked me in class for having big lips
It was a hard knock life for a kid
Till I realized that a life isn't lived
If you're worrying about what other people might think of it
Don't sleep on this little boy's raps because he might be a hit
[Hook]
[Hook Extra: Che Fu]
Don't let it go by
There ain't no reason known why
You're waiting around
You could be a star
Just watch from a far
Just stop waiting around
[Verse 3: David Dallas]
School finished did a little bit of growing up
But it wasn't like music was blowin' up
Shy as ever figured out I had to grow some nuts
And put my self out there, so they know what's up
And yeah I was pretty scared what they might say
They FENZ at it and say its bad in a nice way
Or I wasn't doing it the right way
But there ain't no right or wrong
Got one life to live and it ain't that long
So you gotta stay strong, gotta stay on
Another day sittin', wishin is another day gone
Another day doing dishes, or just mowing up the lawn
Colud've been another day that another star was born
[Hook]
[Outro: David Dallas]
Don't be scared man
Don't worry too much about what people are going to say
Because at the end of the day
The only person who still thinks about that stuff is you
Ya know?
Know the boy D-Double do it all day
Get the messing with his tracks, no foreplay
Seems simple now but it wasn't always

Make Up For It lyrics - David Dallas (feat. PNC)
Good morning.
Far from a perfect young man, understand that I got faults,
Like I took an elbow to the head from the top ropes
Sometimes my thinking ain't clear,
One minute we were drinking beers, next thing she's in tears,
Saying I don't have a heart, I don't put enough effort in,
I tell her that it's her fault and blame it on the estrogen,
'Bout an hour later realized I'm insensitive,
Took a sec to mess it up, spent a week mending it,
Gotta learn some things are better not mentioning,
If she asks about the ex, tell her to forget the bitch,
Tell her everything she does is better than she ever did,
And if your ex still got your phone number then you ditch the sim,
Get a new phone 'cause the wrong text at the wrong time,
Will have your girl reaching for your throat line,
Should have let the past in the past 'cause it's gone, fly,
Now you're hanging out your own clothes, on the clothes line.
So for all of my mistakes, all of my trippin'
All of those times that I ever went missing,
Tomorrow while I wake up mourning,
Promise you I'll try to make up for it,
So for all of my slip ups, times I don't ring you,
My bad habits from when I was single,
Tomorrow while I wake up mourning,
Promise you I'll try to make up for it.
I tend to leave most things to the last minute,
It's a bad habit leaving things half finished,
I did it all through school, drove my mom crazy,
Oughta know better, all the hidings that she gave me,
But the hard headed never learn, lazy people never earn,
All the talent in the world, doesn't mean a thing if you don't get a turn,
See back in '05 dropped an album,
Sat back, waited for the cash to roll in by the thousands,
Thought we'd move mountains just by showing up,
Then I realized that I had to pick the shovel up,
Man, this fucking sucks,
That's what I thought at the time,
Seeing our peers leaving us in the dust,
They ain't got half our talent bro,
But they got ten times our bank balance though,
Then it clicked, I'd been using this gift as a crutch,
You get back what you're giving, I ain't giving enough,
So don't give me a puff, just give me a pen,
I wasted too much time, I won't do it again,
Anything worth doing's worth doing now,
And that procrastination shit, I can do without.
So for all of my mistakes, all of my trippin'
All of those times that I ever went missing,
Tomorrow while I wake up mourning,
Promise you I'll try to make up for it,
So for all of my slip ups, times I don't ring you,
My bad habits from when I was single,
Tomorrow while I wake up mourning,
Promise you I'll try to make up for it.
[PNC]
Yeah
I made many mistakes in my 27 years,
So many tears shed, over my intervertance,
Court cases puttin long faces on my loved ones,
Caught chasin' women that were other than my number one,
I'm in a slumper son, comatosed status,
To reality and everything that really matters,
My mentality I need to switch, it's like im about to beat the kids,
Only thing I'm really beating is my level of integrity,
Devil on the left of me, telling me: sell it bro,
Telling me: puff it bro; Telling me: stuff 'em bro,
Telling me: rock it yo'; You can do whatever now,
Forget about the ones who constantly be lettin' down,
But you can bet now, life has had a shake up,
Called the premises I caused time to make up,
Hang up the fake [?]
I'm just tryna' wake up to a new day, so...
So for all of my mistakes, all of my trippin'
All of those times what I ever went missing
Tomorrow while I wake up mourning
Promise you I'll try to make up for it,
So for all of my slip ups, times I don't ring you,
My bad habits from when I was singles,
Tomorrow while I wake up mourning

Ain't Coming Down lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Buckshot)
[Hook]
Got enough to go around what goes up ain’t coming down
Baby I’m running it light it up, light it up
Puff that shit, if your girl playing fuck that bitch
There's forks in the road, but hands on the wheel won't let it go
Show you how, what goes up
Ain’t coming down, coming down
[Verse 1]
Swear I don’t’ give a damn, eighty five kilogram, 6 foot 2 complex of a little man
Always got something to prove nothing to lose
Dudes just browsing the net for something to do, I’m really not fucking with you
If Ain’t got no ambition bro then I'm cuttin you loose, it’s like Chris Brown chuckin the duece... when they saw YE.. on a suit
Tell your girl come fuck with the dude
NZ finest, king David bitch, NZ's highness I'm in harlem now that's NZ minus
Still I’m giving New York NZ-itis
That ill that sick that killer dog, make em all notice the D like I'm Dilla dog your girl eyeing my D like you been involved, it's Ray Allen for three I can hit it dog
Spittin on it anyone who think otherwise
Why these other dudes stay writing lullabies
Can’t sleep on my shit keep you up at night, I can't cut the lights,would you love it right
[Hook]
Got enough to go around what goes up ain’t coming down
Baby I’m running it light it up, light it up
Puff that shit, if your girl playing up, fuck that bitch
There's forks in the road, but hands on the wheel won't let it go
Show you how, what goes up
Ain’t coming down, coming down
[Verse 2]
They say I got the hemisphere on my shoulders, now couple dudes acting colder
But I got this rum and cola, so fuck that I ain't paying no of mine
Extend your arm to shake, I'll extend my arm for a clothes line
I ain’t got no time, music is the slow grind
Cosigns don't mean shit when it show time, sound so hungry dudes thinkin that I don't dine, you ain't busy livin bro maybe you should go die
Sounds harsh but I got friends in hospital beds, who would give it all to have your problems instead
So stop sweating the small stuff all could be yours cuz, I'm tryin to find a place to rest my head on the tour bus
I do this for all us,shy half cast in the class scared to try but don't wanna come last
Who woulda thought man, mum thinks rappers just talkin'
Yanks mention Oaktown when I say Auckland, nah there ain’t champagne bottes uncorkin', I’m still on the beers with a couple of my horsemen
Still doing the half the things, People just talking, runnin' in the shoes motherfuckers couldn't walk in
[Hook]
[Verse 3 - Buckshot]
The life of a hustler, street survivor I have acomplished constant trials and tribulations my patience, prove...we are an oasis
Face it
Melaton mind criminal crime, peace on my head mean peace of mind when, I don't gotta see no violence, read no violence
Got....no island when I say I stay high in the trees
Eye on my enemies dying to squeeze, see OP see OG's and hope we OD for dope and more cheese, rats in traps they call traps perhaps they all black and back they own fact but, fall back don't fall off, fuck swag when you died and the black bag hauled off
Nine eleven dialing for heaven they wildin milk and honey its funny the devil is smilin’
With a smirk ...jerk.. get it work get it...

Big Time lyrics - David Dallas
[Verse]
Gimme that mic fool, lemme get a few things off the chest
I remember them, student days put me to the test yes
Actually you could say, that I put myself through it
How could I be helpful to mum if I ain't sail through a
Tertiarty institute, older brother, sister who
Did it, so you ain't shit if you ain't in the livin room
With "bachelor" on the wall, this plaque is awarded for
What [?] I don't know shit.. back chillin on the wall
Outside of the guidance counsellors office
And he sittin askin if I know, what I'm really wantin out of life
See I don't know, what I wanna do or pursue, I just wanna make
Moves with the crew to hit the
[Chorus]
Big Time
Soon we'll hit the Big Time
When we hit the Big Time
Soon we'll hit the Big Time
So you gotta reach for that money
Keep receipts for that money
They gonn' leach all that money
When you least need it, but we
Hit the Big Time
Soon we'll hit the Big Time
[Bridge]
[Verse]
Year 00, now I'm outside in the big bad world
Tryna make some dollars maybe I could bag a bad girl
What, what you wanna do? still don't really know
So just grabbed the university brochure and I chose
Somethin at a whim, I.T? Yeah, I like computer games
"but I heard their pay got lower since Y2K?".. fuck it
I suck at economics and accounting, so BCom is out
B Bursary cut down all the choices, ain't no medicine or engineering for me,
Now the only small problem is the fees
Cost 3 and a half to 5 over 4 years
Yeah its steep but you shoulda tried to save before you're here
You gonna need money for text books on top of that here
Here's a discount card for Shads cheapen up your beer
Don't fear, if you ain't got no money little Dave
Here's a student loan form, you can sign your life away to
[Chorus]
Big Time
Soon we'll hit the Big Time
When we hit the Big Time
Soon we'll hit the Big Time
So you gotta reach for that money
Keep receipts for that money
They gon leach all that money
When you least need it, but we
Hit the Big Time
Soon we'll hit the Big Time
Gimme that mic fool, lemme get a few things off the chest
I remember them, student days put me to the test yes
Actually you could say, that I put myself through it
How could I be helpful to mum if I ain't sail through a
Tertiarty institute, older brother, sister who
Did it, so you ain't shit if you ain't in the livin room
With "bachelor" on the wall, this plaque is awarded for
What [?] I don't know shit.. back chillin on the wall
Outside of the guidance counsellors office
And he sittin askin if I know, what I'm really wantin out of life
See I don't know, what I wanna do or pursue, I just wanna make
Moves with the crew to hit the
[Chorus]
Big Time
Soon we'll hit the Big Time
When we hit the Big Time
Soon we'll hit the Big Time
So you gotta reach for that money
Keep receipts for that money
They gonn' leach all that money
When you least need it, but we
Hit the Big Time
Soon we'll hit the Big Time

Indulge Me lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Devolo)
[Verse]
Ooooh, what a night this eve
With the homies Jordache and Aaron on the beat
It's the C-O-N I, ain't come to play around
Steady tryna think, of a place we can take it now
Take it real slow, tryna be respectful too
So I just suggest it to you like
Do you wanna come sit over here and chill
See I got a friend that'll serve us drinks until
He gets off, I kinda think that you'd be best off
Riding this thing out, there'll be less cost
For you, and for me I get the bonus the best view
But I put the onus against you, no stress tho
You can make your mind up, what you wanna do
I'm doin me with this heineken, till the night is done
But there's no denyin I like your company
[Chorus x2]
Can I get ya name and ya number say
Can I get a smile on ya face I'd pay
For a drink or two just get to know me
Don't leave, no no no you gotta indulge me
[Verse]
Take a sip, go ahead
Nah I won't take advantage if it go to your head
I'm opposed to that red wine
Just a little bit of that for me is bedtime
Won't get ahead of myself
I'm tellin you I'm in for the long haul
Till the fat lady, singin the encore
On tour [?] oh you really wanna know
See I don't think you do, you just really wanna show
That you ain't no, no no young h-o
Tryna hook up anything that's in the place tho
No you ain't gotta worry bout that
Cause if I thought it, I wouldn't really sit around and chat
So just sit around and lap
The attention up, and don't worry ain't nobody gotta mention us
That ascension buzz cause we on the up and up
So when you see me lookin maybe you could pucker up
[Chorus x2]
Can I get ya name and ya number say
Can I get a smile on ya face I'd pay
For a drink or two just get to know me
Don't leave, no no no you gotta indulge me
[Bridge]
It seems you've been playing around
Tryna figure out, how I get down
But you know, know
It's sweet if you stay right here
You got no idea
But I'll show you though, I hope you know
[Chorus x2]
Can I get ya name and ya number say
Can I get a smile on ya face I'd pay
For a drink or two just get to know me
Don't leave, no no no you gotta indulge me
Ooooh, what a night this eve

I Get The Feeling lyrics - David Dallas (feat. Niko)
[Chorus - Niko]
Don’t, don’t you say it,
You don’t have to speak it,
I know, I get the feeling,
You don’t want to see me no more,
And I can take it,
Promise not to go insane,
Kiss me baby,
‘Fore my heart goes up in flames.
Please don’t you say it,
You don’t have to speak it,
I know, I get the feeling,
You don’t want to see me no more,
And I can take it,
Promise not to go insane,
Kiss me baby,
'Fore my heart goes up in flames.
[Verse 1 - David Dallas]
Flames. Don’t seem the same as the day,
In which you came to me but,
I’m feeling a change,
I think you wanting some time away from me so,
I’m way to proud to beg ya,
I’m laying this out like stretchers,
Bet you thinking specifics, nah you trippin',
Girl, I ain’t coming to get ya,
You leaving me F’d up,
Be lying not to say,
But no cryings on the way,
Keep them Heinkens at bay cause you know,

And I'ma miss you baby, obviously,
So listen, this is how it goes down.
[Chorus - Niko]
Don’t, don’t you say it,

[Verse 2 - David Dallas]
Now giving up small talk,
You see I just walk, walk,
Remember this face though,
So you can say hey yo,
I’m coming up baby,
Platinum plaques and Mercedes,
Tried to tell you I’m changing,
But you weren’t waiting,
So I’m on my own,
I’m not gonna beef with who you running around,
Well give me a second when you see me next,
I’m up on the clouds,
Instead of stuck on the ground,
Now how you seeing me now,
That’s on my word, I’m bound,
So tell them dudes that might clown,
Pipe down.
[Chorus - Niko]
Don’t, don’t you say it,

Your Thing lyrics - David Dallas
Now get it up, put a one in the air
Say a mother fuck the world with umfnth stare
There's something in here that gets me jumping out of bed
Feel I'm on a brink and in here there's something much bigger
Than what we become we having with some we have have become
Something else, two for chain if you just use your brain
You get view that's so clear you hear we all ears
Appears its pandamonium cash be loaded get a tank of petrolium
Hash and opium the things of a has been got a be on my ps and qs
Are appropriate you just be quiet p know what its about
Yea I'm gonna cure but we ain't doing so well
Oh well I was always told there would be bad days
But you will benefit a soul with a sad face
Its infectious and vice versa a little smile never hurt ya
Specially in the university social structure
See my clothes see my shoes I suppose you could say
I fit those sterotypes are holding away
Now my role is my role I just role everyday
Do my thing like I don't know which road I should take
Do my thing
Do my thing
Do my thing
Do my thing
I spit rhymes in the week rhymes on the weekend
Buy me a speech I speak to the kids I'm a heethen
Most frequent speaker of the expletive, no defence in not under pretense
I got a couple of qualities that make me a good dude,
Couple of qualites that maybe I could do without
Switch routes so maybe its an understatement now let me let me let me come straight with the facts
Kick back a little bit too much, for some would say that I never grew up
If I ever blew up id lift the whole crew up to the sky pull a p diddy on the fly
With a party in the atmosphere, autopilot on drinking what's the crack in here,
We back in here, still an nfl thing bling, let the bell ring I'm just developing
On this solo tip know this ain't no so so shit.nope..
See my clothes see my shoes I suppose you could say
I fit those sterotypes are holding away
Now my role is my role I just role everyday
Do my thing like I don't know which road I should take
Do my thing
Do my thing
Do my thing
Do my thing
Your thing..
Your thing..
Your thing..
