| Lyrics: | "Drivin’ wit’ yo’ eyes closed Working hard n settlin’ Tired of the cycle Tell me what you peddlin’ Every day a trial Texts wit’ loaded messages Busy tryna’ get the bread Take a breath ‘n’ stay ahead Thought I had a lot to say I just got a lot to learn Made it out of hell an angel life is watchin’ tables turn Poker face when playing games but I barely do that anyways I been out here out the way askin’ what done really changed But some dollars that's been banked ‘N’ some collas that’s been yanked Heard the barkin’ not afraid Got dogs from Tenn out to the Bay Tenement mind I ain’t safe I ain't comfortable Complacent Nor adjacent To these suckas n they hatred N they fake attempts at blazin’ Up the charts Don't get me started I'd rather keep it Cali Roll a blunt up eat a orange Wit shorty on my arm Under palms But you could get yo stars crossed Like astronomers If you wan’ talk Chorus I woke up a lil’ doper than before’ A lil’ focus go a long way You could use a lil’ mo’ I know usually the one and twos Despise the three and four’s Cause ain't nothin’ worse Than knowing someone eyes Is on yo throat But I don't remember when I had asked for you opin Tryina balance out this zen And still tap in with some ends I got money in the wind I guess makin it's a breeze Another day another win Eyes open when I peeped You been…. Repeat 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."
