| Lyrics: | She said… I was the son of Mac Miller n Big Poppa Rhyme hits like a double of some vodka, shot! Girl got on the bar, not a man said stop N she got down like I was down n she was on top Life of the crazy, gone n I'm hazy At party passing bottles, we're both gone n wasted Life of the famous, know my name N know I'm on just as soon as my shoes hit the pavement Life of the real, writer of the rhyme Master of the beat, ill fashion with the time Better known for the women I pass in a line Pick one out n cover her with fashion designs Life of the party, walk into a scene like John Gotti with eyes that are looking like Bob Marley They come in with a posse, they want on the Chronic tell um stay throwing prayers up to Haile Selassie Life of the raw, life of the ill Life of the man so life needa to chill Life to get a deal then life to get a mil so I can pay the bills so call that life of the real Don't you worry about a thing tonight Lay with me, I'll treat you right Talking dirty, girl, you talk so nice This is an outrageous life Mr. Outrageous, flow so sick The doctor put his mask on cause I'm contagious Call these songs hymns cause I'm not like them N everybody around is here to sing my praises I am the…witch doctor, flip the script proper Life of the man, rapper's Frank Sinatra From back in the day keeping the rhymes in my locker Between class to spitting it now a show stopper Known to cold clock a rapper with no backing So think twice if you wanna harass me... You think you got it on…but then you ask me What you were innovating, I was inventing it last week Life of the best, life of the king No crown is needed, just the shit I seen The shit I say n the tracks I write So to the rest of y'all, good luck n good night Life of the raw, life of the ill Life of the man so life needa to chill Life to get a deal then life to get a mil so I can pay the bills so call that life of the real Chorus It's like that… Life of the young, life of the restless Life's a soap opera and I'm the director Life's a soap box, stand on it with objectives Raise the picket signs n change your direction Life of the old, life of the tired Death before dishonor, death before retire Always on my work til I'm there on a gurney Or this whole shit stops n the world stops turning On it, do it till I'm dead cause I can't live as sheep, rather die a shepherd Say I'm on the rise, then put it on the record Now look into my eyes, no body does it better Written with a pen, we share a level of kinship Life of a writer, real, none invention Never write fiction, maybe just pretentious But at least you know the stories not invented It's that life of the raw, life of the ill It's that life of the man so life needa to chill Life to get a deal then life to get a mil so I can pay the bills so call that life of the real 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."
