Sideline
(专辑: The Rose Tint - 2011)
[Verse 1: David Dallas] Know the
boy D-Double do it all day Get the
messing with his tracks, no foreplay Seems simple now but it wasn't always Used to sit up in the
Pap High hallways Teacher put me there saying that I
talk to much I
thought I
knew it all but I
never knew much I
come to school late because my form room sucked And we hang out by the
canteen all through lunch Young teen with a
pac(men)tality No dream I
can make reality All I
care about is popularity Trying to pass Jessica trying to get a
touch And a
Mufti day try them with some new Chucks Try them with some new Nikes or something They didn't give a
fuck about assignments or nothing Didn't make music even though I
loved it Scared to try ,
high to shy get busted[?] [Hook: Che Fu] So I
sit on the
sideline Despite in my time If I
could be in their shoes The
things that id do But wishing won't get you know where Don't be scared to go there If you sit in my wake Do it the
right way (yeah ya) [Verse 2: David Dallas] No I
wasn't in the
first fifteen Wasn't in the
choir, Never learned to sing Couldn't play an instrument or pluck a
string Or the
little rich kid who's dad bought him a
car A
regular dude fading in to the
background Never took center stage, didn't really stand out I
remember school TalentQuest We would hang out see this other dude rap Then he'd be the
man around E
block For like the
next two weeks, scoring all of the
chicks While these Diggas my mom bought, are falling to bits And I'm off in detention, for ignoring Mr. Smitts And this bitch mocked me in class for having big lips It was a
hard knock life for a
kid Till I
realized that a
life isn't lived If you're worrying about what other people might think of it Don't sleep on this little boy's raps because he might be a
hit [Hook] [Hook Extra: Che Fu] Don't let it go by There ain't no reason known why You're waiting around You could be a
star Just watch from a
far Just stop waiting around [Verse 3: David Dallas] School finished did a
little bit of growing up But it wasn't like music was blowing up Shy as ever figured out I
had to grow some nuts And put my self out there, so they know what's up And yeah I
was pretty scared what they might say They FENZ at it and say its bad in a
nice way Or I
wasn't doing it the
right way But there ain't no right or wrong Got one life to live and it ain't that long So you gotta stay strong, gotta stay on Another day sitting, wishin is another day gone Another day doing dishes, or just mowing up the
lawn Colud've been another day that another star was born [Hook] [Outro: David Dallas] Don't be scared man Don't worry too much about what people are going to say Because at the
end of the
day The
only person who still thinks about that stuff is you Ya know?
