| Lyrics: | Its the return of the irregular Substitute pencils with laptops and handhelds So you think I’m credible At least more so than these so called artists Switchin density up like they aint used to be the softest But my flow has been hardened like gem stones Colder than placin a brother in the friend zone Lines spray like mace because I never hesitate I just write n regulate, then I let it marinate Like that Honestly its pretty simple Cause your flow so-so word to thimbles Nimble enough to enter the club Leave undetected like Im tryina run, so homey wassup? Oh man, word to the lam, please understand That I am, one helluva man kids And its as easy as that, kick raps n spit facts, Still I’m laid back, shawty ya dig? You’ve got to layback You’ve got to take it slow There in that Maybach You’ve got let it go This is that laid back in a drop top Cadillac With a bottle of the yak and some models in the back And my niggas got the dro paped up Like old school afros lil buddy we done came up Started workin for the paper But her old man still waitin’ on his pay stub So I took her down south to Decatur Flip the script, transition the whip to make her Question every decision and taste that she had in men How’d you end up right here? aint no accident You got me losin focus, no camera lens Gotta free my mind up, jus’ spark it then We gon’ rap it out, I know you thinkin bout the future But right now smoke on this stuff like a hookah Ease ya stress, fill up your chest Exhale then express those sentiments Chorus What to say in a third verse Beat already been ‘hearsed No return and really no cheap burn Only loud packs to get the pack coughin’ Smokin the fire, aint nobody talkin We just lost in thought I criss crossed her heart Go from hopin that we make it To you cant keep us apart And I, use my art to manuever Thirty paces ahead of the others Look at the blueprints Nevermind, I can’t really just describe The whole plan, well because its one of a kind Heard if you the jack of all, you the ace of nothin Little D is on the hook, I got Dave on tha production Cuttin that smooth sh**, from nation to nation I know you’ll rock with this, know what Im sayin? Hold up, I said from nation to nation I guarantee you’ll rock with each word that I’m sayin Chorus |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
