lyrics

I'll just twist your arm and make you stay with me
Are you ready for this

Due to a clue of the naughty noise called plug tunin
I drew my own views on what I should be doin
I run around the world chasin money makin music
People always like David I don't know how you do it

How much you charge for a beat
I never figured it out
I kept em all to myself
So selfish
What do you make in a week
I used to work steady
Now it's steady workin on some shit I can't touch
I can feel it tho
So can
You can
Toucan follow your nose
To the trees see the birds
Mountain raps
In the snow
And the bees I'm absurd
Bouncin tracks
To my phone
For three weeks disappear
Out in vans
On the road
For free beers or four drink tickets
The tickets only getcha well liquors
I remember up only to a certain limit
I Shoulda took a picture
It woulda lasted longer
I'm finna flip the scripture
The book of Dave
Which Video
Any fuckin city yo
Catch me outside blowin trees
Spittin witty flows
Wasting my time
Let my momma tell it

Due to a clue of the naughty noise called plug tunin
I drew my own views on what I should be doin
I run around the world chasin money makin music
People always like David I don't know how you do it
I do not know it either but I know I just do it
I grew up watching tv taping radio for music
I never could refuse it
I had to try and do it
Due to a clue of the naughty noise called plug tunin

Im ruined
I do not drive a Buick
I do not own a home or have a baby no influence
To keep me off the road from talkin crazy like a nuisance
Loitering embroidering mammy lil baby likes shortening shortening bread
That tune is in my head
It got in there from different cartoons I was viewing
So now when I review it
Everything is due to a clue of the naughty noise called plug tunin

I drew my own views on what I should be doin
I run around the world chasin money makin music
People always like David I don't know how you do it

Fuck a pension
I hope I work til die
Unfinished opus outta focuscause I'm crazy and blind
Final touches readjusted by my kids or my wife
Oh what a life
Oh what a life

No one that I know can live my life for me
Are you ready for this
