Truman
(专辑: Professional Rapper - 2015)
Hey, man... man Hey... hey I
guess y'all on board Young Man couldn't leave that shore Had the
life they made for him 'til he seeked out more Boat rock, couldn't see that storm Held it up, dawg He know he close It's too late to jump ship (Hey) Aw, damn! Aw, damn! You that motherfucker shit I
know This here became a
trip, Cabo Up in the
womb, but you can feel it when I
kick it, I
know And you too (U2) must be rocking with Lil Dicky, Bono It's like I
hit the
lotto I
had to hit the
wall though I
couldn't see it for a
minute Shit was hidden, Waldo They treat it like I'm going crazy I'm just praying, I
don't It's just I
know It's just I
know I
saw the
world like, "Hold up" Damn near faking on the
side Let me take you on a
ride Let me tell you bout the
one who couldn't take the 9
to 5
Use to take the
95 down to Richmond Bumping Jigga up in the
ride Use to think along and drive 'Bout my drive Used to wonder why Used to wonder when the
world'l see like I'm seeing mine Use to whine Use to wanna shine Used to wanna dine Used to talk to bitches in my mind when they were walking by "Girl, what's happenin'? Girl what's happenin'?" I
ain't really 'bout to get involved that's what's happening Errything I
knew was unevolved like a
Baptist Laying on my matress Praying I
could have this, and Now when I
get Tinder matches They think they've been Catfished Now I
been controlling how we living like a
facist Now I
got this weight up off my shoulders like a
strapless Remember this shit was hapless Remember the
day it happened Aw, you the
shit Dave, you be killing everything you did Got the
whole world talking all about what you did Got your old girl talking all about what you is Got your old world looking like it's his you ain't here I
been fucking for the
fuck of it And one of the
bitches I
been fucking with Been wondering how I
can work this much and stomach it She wonders what I
want from it I
said, "We don't gotta get into it" She like "Nah, just do it" She a
psychology student She always following up Find the
guy to be amusing as fuck Usually I'll answer her truthfully But truthfully, I'm unusually used to being unusually good at internalizing when music is not provided But I
humor hoe Ask her if she ever saw the
Truman Show She like yeah I
like well, when I
saw that shit I
was convinced I
was living like Jim A
similar situation where I
was the
basis of everyone's entertainment Like really up in the
basement talkin to y'all In the
mirror because I
thought Lil David was some American hero I
know it's selfish and all But I
just felt it's my call I
was a
ten year old then By 2010 I
was wrong I'm like "Aw, damn! Aw, damn! You the
motherfucker though" I
know That shit became a
trip, Cabo Up in the
womb, but you can feel it when I
kick it, I
know And you too (U2) must be rocking with Lil Dicky, Bono It's like I
hit the
lotto I
had to hit the
wall though I
couldn't see it for a
minute Shit was hidden, Waldo They treat it like I'm going crazy I'm just playing, I
don't It's just I
know It's just I
know Twenty three bars up in my apartment I
am debarred Gotta do this shit I
gotta recharge But I
gotta be smart Moving up that ladder company Star, fuck it, that ain't nothing I
am *the* star Spitting like a
retard Work was like a
prison I'm just seeing bars My boss was all up in my camp And I'm just seeing Lars I
been a
heavyweight, Muhammad Ali And if he can mold that out of "Clay" Then I
can turn the
Lil D
So now I'm snapping like I'm Truman But off and on There's always something in the
way I
should be often gone Girl I'm sorry if this dragging I
just need you to imagine Being stuck up on the
land without a
captain When everyday is average And everyday you feeling like a
captive And feel like something seriously lacking And then you fear what could happen if you just leave it on the
table like napkins But, yo, you really fearing hitting them rappin's and leaving everything behind Cause you don't know what that horizon brings But girl you gotta know what kind of fish you is Survival instinct kicked in Sink or swim I
flipped a
playlist Quit my day gig Now, I'm on a
boat, Lonely Island Irony, and you still been trying to figure how I
work this tirelessly But girl This is everything I've thought This for everything I've fought This for who I
am to me becomes to y'all (Go) They telling me "nah" But I
just be telling them "yeah" (Go) I
just be telling them "yeah" (Go) I
just be telling them "yeah" Tell 'em I'm gone (Yeah) I
just pretend I
ain't scared (Go) Don't even know I
was there (Go) Don't even know if I
care Cause girl this is Truman approaching the
wall Until I'm me I
am nothing at all Until I'm free I
will not see beyone I
had to be who I
was all along Ay [crash] I
think I
mighta broke it down Hopping on the
fucking steps like ain't no around Open up that door, you bet, ship ain't going down Guess the
only thing left is to take a
bow Aw, damn! Aw, damn! You that motherfucker shit I
know This ship became a
trip, Cabo Up in the
womb, but you can feel it when I
kick it, I
know And you too (U2) must be rocking with Lil Dicky, Bono It's like I
hit the
lotto I
had to hit the
wall though I
couldn't see it for a
minute Shit was hidden, Waldo They treat it like I'm going crazy I'm just praying, I
don't It's just I
know It's just I
know (Just I
know) Fuck! (Just I
know (echo)) That felt good Well, that's all I
got The
show is over, as they say Honestly, I
just think that part in the
Truman Show where his boat hits the
wall is really the
exact Moment that I'm at in my own life right now Uh... metaphorically, of course And I'm ready for I
think I'm read for it Like I've been thinking about it, I
think I'm ready I
mean, if I'm being completely transparent with y'all Uh, like my lifestyle hasn't really changed that much Uh, you know, considering, uh, where I
think I'm at musically Like I'm still at the
point right now where pretty much any bitch that tweets at me anything remotely flirtatious I
have seen not just one of your pictures, I
have seen the
entire catalog That's the
type of shit that's going down over here right now, so... I
am definitely ready for that, uh, next step, y'know what I'm sayin'? I
think it's close, too I
think it's close Like, uh, Diddy tweeted about me Uh, y'know, that... I
don't know if he handles his own Twitter I
would assume he probably doesn't, actually But, like, I'm so confident that I
feel as though, like, me and Diddy will have a
moment just about this outro Like when we're both sitting next to each other smoking cigars And being like, "Ay, remember when you said that shit on that outro?" Like, and I'm like, "Yeah. That's, this is the
exact moment I I
did that for, y'know what I'm sayin'?" Bring the
bring the
beat back up. I
don't know why Like, keep, loop everything. I
wanna be talking for minutes, yeah, uh, y'know what I'm sayin'? Like, uh, shout out my Macbook Pro Had that shit since '09 I
made my first song ever on it Like, when I
called myself Lil Dicky I
made my, like, fucking album song on that shit And we survived, baby Uh, shoutout Allen Iverson, Larry David, Will Smith, and Kobe Bryant For making me the
man that I
am today Both on and off the
court Shout out my mother What a
great woman She's so mad I
recorded these conversations She she honestly went crazy It took so much convincing to allow this But, she's awesome She's adapting to the
rap game, as we all are Look, I
just want to get this to a
place where I
can sell TMZ pictures of my actual asshole Heh, y'know? Cause, well, I, I
think that'd be such a
feat If I
could actually create, like, an alt alias And sell TMZ pictures of my own asshole Like, profit off of that That, I
would totally do it I
don't know why Seth Rogen's not already doing it I
don't, I'm seeing the
signs that it's not, I'm I
think I'm seeing the
signs I
hope I
am If I'm really just misreading all these signs Then, I
am 100% gonna have, like, a
legitimate nervous breakdown Uh, at some point very soon So, we'll find out about that But I
see some signs Like, like I
really am not fucking that much But, like, the
other day I
did fuck a
bitch to music Like, I
fucked a
bitch to some Miguel And that's kind of new for me if I'm being real Like, I
had never actually done it before But I
was feeling like I
was some king shit Y'know what I'm sayin'? So, I
was like, "Man, Imma fuck this bitch to some Miguel right now" Uh, actually to be completely real to you, I, I
will never fuck a
girl to music again I
found the
whole thing to feel, like, completely cliche Like, I
don't need my emotions dictated to me by, like, music It makes me feel like I'm in a
TV scene Takes all the, like, realness out of the
moment for me Like, actually, was actually super weirded out by it So, but still, like, I
am about to let my hair down And, I
don't know, I
just feel like it's all coming I
feel like, like, I'm literally, like, about to find out about everything And it's exciting And, I, y'know, I, I
had pinkeye last week And I
remember thinking that, as I, like, was like, real down Cause I
was, like, trying to keep recording and shit But I
was thinking, "What would Michael Jordan do?" And he would play through the
pinkeye So that's why I'm in here I'm still not fully recovered, y'know what I'm sayin'? I, I'm definitely clearing up Like, it's totally on the
upswing But, I
just want you know I
did record this shit through pinkeye Alright, I
could talk for fucking years Legitimate years This is an outro to an out You see how long I
talk with outros to songs But, goddamn Look, I
need to get out of here I'm 'bout to go take a
Khalifa Rest up That's right, I
did invent that phrase just there "Take a
Khalifa" Y'know what I'm sayin'? I
also invented "That's what she said" But I
get no credit for it Uh, oh, shoutout to Dickheads, obviously Funding this whole operation Whatchu know about a
Kickstarter, man? Whatchu know about the
best fans in the
world? Seriously Thank you guys, I
appreciate it Honestly, you made my dreams come true, and that's fact Couldn't have done this without y'all Uh, I'd like to shoutout my dick I
know, y'know, we haven't had the
smoothest relationship But, I
feel as though by kind of putting our issues out there Like, we have become something bigger than we could have become otherwise And, hopefully soon you will be rewarded for your patience And I
will be rewarded for my patience I, and, I
respect you I'd like to shoutout my brain My brain got the
hardest verse on the
whole goddamn album I
hope my brain starts getting some feature looks But he don't just hop on shit Fuck, I, I
got nothing left I'm out I'm a
professional rapper Long live LD And in case I
don't see ya "Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight."
