I’m self motivated I’m
Skilled in communication
I’ll Diversify your office
I’m Dominican and Haitian
So I’m Black also Latino
Hispanic sometimes I’m other
I’m efficient in a group
I have 2 sisters and a brother
It clearly says to pick one race
But I will not
Video Dave
I Make it Pop
You out here playin silly games
I’m just doin my job
Video Dave
I Make it Pop
I’ve been server and a busser
one job after another
I produce shows for tv
I used to work for that teen mother show
On MTV
Teen Mom 2 - Super Sweet
16- on 90 Day Fiancée
we used duvetyne
On the bright spots
To make the picture more attractive
I take the best pictures
I write the best captions
I wrote a list of who is the best
And I came out on top
Video Dave
I Make it Pop
I ain’t out here doin the most
But I’m doin a lot
Video Dave
I Make it Pop
It take 3 people direct
Producers? They need 4
Team of 5 on every camera
6 on every door
Before they press record
You need a new line of credit
I’ll write it, I’ll produce it
Direct it, shoot it, and edit
And every-little-thing in between
Just tell me what you need
I’m a beast behind the camera or the star of the scene
So spell it right when you write me on the screen
I made this beat with Ableton
You here it knock
Video Dave
I Make it Pop
I used to bite my tongue all the time
But then I stopped
Video Dave
I Make it Pop
If I say somethin, I mean it
You know, unless I’m playin
I can do it better than whoever else your payin
Tell the new investors that they bout to make some gains
Every dollar that you pay in
Contributes to what I’m sayin
Plus I want you to pay attention
When I’m on your phone or tv
Smash that like button
And tag me very clearly
This beats my cover letter
Cause word of mouth spreads better
Thank you for your time I’d love for us to work together
I like your sweater
My name is David Maximé
This record is my resume
And now you want a reference,
Cmon I wrote you a song
Sometime I work with Michael Eagle
So I brought him along
I thought my skills would speak for themselves
But they do not
Video Dave
I Make it Pop
Hit Open Mike up,
he the homie
he gon’ gimme my props
Video Dave
I Make it Pop
(open mike eagle)
oh hi
maybe weird that I'm next to him
but this song is his resume and i am his references
he needed assistance like you get from the government
and with what i pay him his income can use some supplements
he over-prepares its just what he does
he likes to bring 3 cameras when he just needs one
uhh yes david can work, it's what he does best
he also does... hmmmm- i assume y'all don't drug test
weaknessess? theres only 2 i can think of
the man works too hard, the man cares too much
just peep out his visuals, man they beautiful ya'll
so if you wanna make it pop then you know who to call
Call me now
You got the ball in your hands
Don’t let it drop
Video Dave
I Make it Pop
You tired of these games
I’m a new player unlocked
Video Dave
I Make it Pop

lyrics
This Is It/
This Is The Chance That You Get/
To Live Your Life Without Any Regrets/
So Live It/
This Is It/
This Is The Way It Begins/
The Way That It Ends/
Man I Aint Losin Chalk Up A Win/
This Is It/
This Is The Way That It Started/
For Dearly Departed/
For Mothers Brothers Sisters And Fathers/
This Is It/
This Is The Pain In My Stomach/
A Hungry Muthafuckin MC is Comin/
And I'm Runnin And I'm Runnin And I'm Runnin And I'm/
With a degree in my hand/
I'm being a man/
tryin to at least be all that I can/ Without
joinin the Army/
I'm sorry but it's alarming/
the way we be bombin/
people dodgin bullets while farmin/ Never
excusin terrorist threats or collateral deaths/
either way it's innocent people endin up dead/
I was sittin in the hospital where I didn't wanna be/
reflictin on the folks who got "the life" worser than me/
Certainly I'm still young, educated, alive/
what I'm missin most in my life?/
Man it might be some drive,/
determination, motivation, focus man and some goals/
The no-holds-barred approach to fightin trouble I know/
is the way go/
I'm from The 'Go, the city I mean/
I left to start anew, a new slate and this one was clean/
but I'm in the same traps, pitfalls, the same shit/
If I moved back to Chi-city would they say that I quit?/
And if they say that shit, who gives a fuck about what they say?/
It's MY LIFE, that's all I got, that's black and white with no gray/
Some people pray, some people damn, some people ask for a hand/
Some people's life got too much spice while other people's too bland/
This Is It/
This Is The Chance That You Get/
To Live Your Life Without Any Regrets/
So Live It/
This Is It/
This Is The Way It Begins/
The Way That It Ends/
Man I Aint Losin Chalk Up A Win/
This Is It/
This Is The Way That It Started/
For Dearly Departed/
For Mothers Brothers Sisters And Fathers/
This Is It/
This Is The Pain In My Stomach/

I’m tryin all these different bars out
There’s plenty of em in this neighborhood
and if ones any good - I’ll stay there
Like day care
for people gettin GREY hairs
And beer guts
No bar nuts
A bar with booths and hooks and nooks and crannies
No spot that uses jar cups
That doesn’t put your card up
And don’t look like a start up
You know, Nothin fancy
Unless it’s broken
Nothin frozen
The Type of spot where you gotta
Buy somethin for the fuckin register open
Scratchy mirrors and Squeaky stools
Smokey voiced bartender who ain’t tryin to be cool
But they are tho-
I need that
A spot to think at
Stare at my drink at
And treat my bartender like they are my shrink at
-
I spend my week up in this bar now
I know the owner
And the different bar tenders
I smoke with other regulars and drink with all the vendors
I’m 2 legit 2 quit
Can’t nobody tell me shit
I’m always runnin at the lips
Bout how the presidents unfit
We might play jeopardy
Or write a movie
Draw on a napkin
Sittin by the taps is where I make the magic happen
I get work at the bar
And plus I flirt at the bar
I’ve built a whole a career there
I’m a drinkin superstar
I bring my firsts dates here
We go and sit in the back
Since I downloaded these apps
I don’t know how to act
I be inebriated so faded
But never show it
I’m Drunker than my birthday
And ole girl don’t even notice
-
I’m drunk as shit up in this bar now
Talkin loud like an asshole
Once I get this cash flow
I’ll get it hoppin like a tadpole
If I could play the banjo
I’d pluck me out a sample
Make the Dance floor hazardous
People gettin trampled
Juke box Lazarus
Pix givin ghosts life
Jameson Handle this
whole fifth in one night
But then I can’t plead the fifth
I’m spilling my guts
I can’t hold it down
I’m throwing it up
Like I signed with the Roc
Or like they passed me the rock
Two seconds left on the clock
I’m takin the shot
Take a walk round the block
Throw up - and wash out my mouth
Back to the bar- Another round
What were we talkin about?
