Lyrics: I kick it with a beat until I come and drop the hammer
Kick it with these loony tunes until I drop the anvil
I swear to God this party’s so more than you can handle
I direct y’all to the panel, drop a beat (x2)

I swear to you that I’m the king of smooth
All I do is drop a beat y’all move)
I swear to God to y’all I’m just looking for the groove
Anything to make these women move I swoon

I promise y’all I’m trying to build a tower from the basics
I’m trying to turn a car into a spaceship, made this
Nonsense, built it like a middle school project
Just give me a ribbon so my mama thinks I gots this

Proper like polo and dockers, but awkward
Like a bathrobe, spandex, and some boxers
Haven’t gave a fuck since when I’d put my shit in lockers
Like book learning mixed with some weed n some Vodka

Repeat Chorus

But Jesus, I swear to God I need this
All I want is people on feet and some people that believe this
Some Regis, Philbin, let me stare at millions
I just wanna dance n stack cash to the ceiling

Like hold it, I think that you know this
Know that I’m not focused, on gold, it’s more like whole roasts
So the cooks can, cook this, put in on the books then
Sell it to the masses while I’m dancing with a ten like

Hey, y’all know that today
It’s good to be known but great to get laid
Hey, y’all know that today
It’s good to be known but great to get laid

Hey, y’all know that today
It’s good to be known but great to get laid
Hey, y’all know that today
It’s good to be known but great to get laid

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."
