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
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
Ain't kidding dog King Kong ain't got shit on me

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

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
I’m living proof you could do what you never thought

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
[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
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,

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,

In which you came to me but,
I’m feeling a change,

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,

So listen, this is how it goes down.

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.

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..
Say a mother fuck the world with umfnth stare
