| Lyrics: | This is that fresh out of the oven Wit tha bakers dozen Watchin rappin turn to nothin At tha hands of rubbish A couple crutchin wit tha bass Still caint catch us And its jus my luck that my year Of comin up, i still i been raisin tha tier Up above weak minded politicin Wit some pretty women And a dozen niggas Steady beggin for tha plays on insta Before you talk all ya shit, do ya research Before you get a feature better change ya t-shirt Gross sister ass niggas, you been feelin blue I been doin me, so what does it matter to you Never gave a fuck, money i been savin up Tryina make it out the city, i been brave enough Chasin blunts with money schemes and honey dreams Enough to turn waves of energy to symmetry And play it thru ya speakers jus to resonate within And accurately display the life of every kid Who’s self was steady hid, but still they live In an environment n see life for what it is Still I persist, never backin down from anythin Fate is in my left and my right holds tha mic my key Two octaves below, where my soul exist Trapped in this end but im more focused than I’ve ever been since i first started in But this is just tha beginnin But this is just tha beginnin But this is just tha beginnin But this is just tha beginnin |

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."
