Lil Dicky

Lyrics

I guess y'all on board

Young Man couldn't leave that shore

Had the life they made for him 'til he seeked out more

Boat rock, couldn't see that storm

Held it up, dawg

He know he close

It's too late to jump ship (Hey)

Aw, damn! Aw, damn!

You that motherfucker shit

I know

This here became a trip, Cabo

Up in the womb, but you can feel it when I kick it, I know

And you too must be rockin' with Lil Dicky, Bono

It's like I hit the lotto

I had to hit the wall though

I couldn't see it for a minute

Shit was hidden, Waldo

They treat it like I'm goin' crazy

I'm just prayin', I don't

It's just I know

It's just I know

I saw the world like, "Hold up"

Damn near fakin' on the side

Let me take you on a ride

Let me tell you bout the one who couldn't take the 9 to 5

Use to take the 95 down to Richmond

Bumpin' Jigga up in the ride

Use to think along and drive

'Bout my drive

Used to wonder why

Used to wonder when the world'l see like I'm seein' mine

Use to whine

Use to wanna shine

Used to wanna dine

Used to talk to bitches in my mind when they were walkin' by

"Girl, what's happenin'? Girl what's happenin'?"

I ain't really 'bout to get involved that's what's happenin'

Errything I knew was unevolved like a Baptist

Layin' on my matress

Prayin' I could have this, and

Now when I get Tinder matches

They think they've been Catfished

Now I been controlling how we livin' like a facist

Now I got this weight up off my shoulders like a strapless

Remember this shit was hapless

Remember the day it happened

Aw, you the shit Dave, you be killin' everything you did

Got the whole world talkin' all about what you did

Got your old girl talkin' all about what you is

Got your old world lookin' like it's his you ain't here

I been fuckin' for the fuck of it

And one of the bitches I been fuckin' with

Been wondering how I can work this much and stomach it

She wonders what I want from it

I said, "We don't gotta get into it"

She like "Nah, just do it"

She a psychology student

She always followin' up

Find the guy to be amusing as fuck

Usually I'll answer her truthfully

But truthfully, I'm unusually used to being unusually good at internalizing when music is not provided

But I humor hoe

Ask her if she ever saw the Truman Show

She like yeah

I like well, when I saw that shit I was convinced I was livin' like Jim

A similar situation where I was the basis of everyone's entertainment

Like really up in the basement talkin to y'all

In the mirror because I thought Lil David was some American hero

I know it's selfish and all

But I just felt it's my call

I was a ten year old then

By 2010 I was wrong

I'm like

"Aw, damn! Aw, damn!

You the motherfucker though"

I know

That shit became a trip, Cabo

Up in the womb, but you can feel it when I kick it, I know

And you too must be rockin' with Lil Dicky, Bono

It's like I hit the lotto

I had to hit the wall though

I couldn't see it for a minute

Shit was hidden, Waldo

They treat it like I'm goin' crazy

I'm just playin', I don't

It's just I know

It's just I know

Twenty three bars up in my apartment

I am debarred

Gotta do this shit

I gotta recharge

But I gotta be smart

Movin' up that ladder company

Star, fuck it, that ain't nothin'

I am *the* star

Spittin' like a retard

Work was like a prison

I'm just seein' bars

My boss was all up in my camp

And I'm just seein' Lars

I been a heavyweight, Muhammad Ali

And if he can mold that out of "Clay"

Then I can turn the Lil D

So now I'm snappin' like I'm Truman

But off and on

There's always somethin' in the way

I should be off and gone

Girl I'm sorry if this draggin'

I just need you to imagine

Bein' stuck up on the land without a captain

When everyday is average

And everyday you feelin' like a captive

And feel like somethin' seriously lackin'

And then you fear what could happen if you just leave it on the table like napkins

But, yo, you really fearin' hitting them rappin's and leaving everything behind

Cause you don't know what that horizon brings

But girl you gotta know what kind of fish you is

Survival instinct kicked in

Sink or swim

I flipped a playlist

Quit my day gig

Now, I'm on a boat, Lonely Island

Irony, and you still been tryin' to figure how I work this tirelessly

But girl

This is everything I've thought

This for everything I've fought

This for who I am to me becomes to y'all

(Go)

They tellin' me "nah"

But I just be tellin' them "yeah" (Go)

I just be tellin' them "yeah" (Go)

I just be tellin' them "yeah"

Tell 'em I'm gone (Yeah)

I just pretend I ain't scared (Go)

Don't even know I was there (Go)

Don't even know if I care

Cause girl this is Truman approachin' the wall

Until I'm me I am nothin' at all

Until I'm free I will not see beyond

I had to be who I was all along

Ay

I think I mighta broke it down

Hoppin' on the fuckin' steps like ain't no around

Open up that door, you bet, ship ain't goin' down

Guess the only thing left is to take a bow

Aw, damn! Aw, damn!

You that motherfucker shit

I know

This ship became a trip, Cabo

Up in the womb, but you can feel it when I kick it, I know

And you too must be rockin' with Lil Dicky, Bono

It's like I hit the lotto

I had to hit the wall though

I couldn't see it for a minute

Shit was hidden, Waldo

They treat it like I'm goin' crazy

I'm just prayin', I don't

It's just I know

It's just I know

(Just I know) Fuck! (Just I know)

That felt good

Well, that's all I got

The show is over, as they say
