Independence Day

(album: Fireworks - 2023)

Sober as fuck, but—
I'm sober as fuck, but I'm—
I'm
(DTdaKidd), I'm
Said I'm sober as fuck, but— (Beat those drums)

I'm sober as fuck, but I'm lit like the Fourth of July
I know you feel like we cut from the same cloth, but I am a one of a kind
I looked my watch in the face and it told me that I am ahead of my time
I know niggas want me to give it a rest, but I couldn't do that if I tried
I can't give it up, but I'm tired
Got a job to fulfill
Babies to feed and a mountain to build
As soon as I finish my climb to the top, then it's time to start building a house on the hill
I'm losing track of how sanity feel
My mama house was like Amityville
I point niggas out like that bitch on that plane
"That motherfucker back there isn't real"
Where I come from, either kill or be killed
Might break a sweat, but I'm still gon' be chill
Niggas is pussy, instead of you hosting an album release, have a gender reveal
Can't leave my house 'til my pistol concealed
Can't press the gas 'til my kids is secured
I can admit I made many mistakes, but I'm proud when I look at the man in the mirror
Now stop playing with me, the Glock staying with me
When shots spray in the streets, I'm not saying a peep
Either water your plants or stop planting the seeds
If you ain't taking care of them, you're not a man to me
Stand-up nigga ever single day of the week
Vultures are circling, you can't show 'em you're weak
My fingers is itching, itching for the paper
You're not clearing it up with Campho Phenique
Getting to the paper, ain't that how it 'posed to be?
Never gonna find a motherfucker dope as me
What did the heroin say to syringe?
Wait 'til these motherfuckers get a load of me
Took my fanbase and I turned 'em all to fiends
If you need a fix, I got all you need
You tried to shop with the guy 'round the corner
Your high wore off 'fore you even crossed the street
Yes, Lord, I
I been serving you the best raw, and
And the dope been serving you in all they records been stepped on
Hollow point rounds in the Teflon
Strapped like a carseat just 'cause
I'ma need more than them Kibbles 'N Bits to feed all my dogs like PetSmart, I'm
Back off the leash
Grinding so I don't land back on the street
I know some people that's rooting against me
The second I fail, they'll be happy to see
But I never let it discourage me
I know they've never seen nothing as rare as me
Even though mama was handing me hand-me-down clothes
I never did accept charity
Honestly, I probably should get some therapy
But I find peace in my own solidarity
Sometimes you trust the wrong people despite all the warnings
Knife in your back is embarassing
To say the least
I know the feeling, it's happened to me (DTdaKidd)
Sudden survival, I'm happy to be (Beat those drums)
At peace with myself, it's the land of the free, on Pif
