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 must be rockin' 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 goin' crazy I'm just prayin', I don't It's just I know It's just I know [Verse 2] I saw the world like, "Hold up" Damn near fakin' 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 Bumpin' 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 seein' mine Use to whine Use to wanna shine Used to wanna dine Used to talk to bitches in my mind when they were walkin' by "Girl, what's happenin'? Girl what's happenin'?" I ain't really 'bout to get involved that's what's happenin' Errything I knew was unevolved like a Baptist Layin' on my matress Prayin' I could have this, and Now when I get Tinder matches They think they've been Catfished Now I been controlling how we livin' 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 killin' everything you did Got the whole world talkin' all about what you did Got your old girl talkin' all about what you is Got your old world lookin' like it's his you ain't here I been fuckin' for the fuck of it And one of the bitches I been fuckin' 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 followin' 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 livin' 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 [Hook 2] "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 must be rockin' 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 goin' crazy I'm just playin', I don't It's just I know It's just I know [Verse 3] Twenty three bars up in my apartment I am debarred Gotta do this shit I gotta recharge But I gotta be smart Movin' up that ladder company Star, fuck it, that ain't nothin' I am *the* star Spittin' like a retard Work was like a prison I'm just seein' bars My boss was all up in my camp And I'm just seein' 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 snappin' like I'm Truman But off and on There's always somethin' in the way I should be off and gone Girl I'm sorry if this draggin' I just need you to imagine Bein' stuck up on the land without a captain When everyday is average And everyday you feelin' like a captive And feel like somethin' seriously lackin' And then you fear what could happen if you just leave it on the table like napkins But, yo, you really fearin' 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 tryin' 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 [Bridge] (Go) They tellin' me "nah" But I just be tellin' them "yeah" (Go) I just be tellin' them "yeah" (Go) I just be tellin' 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 approachin' the wall Until I'm me I am nothin' at all Until I'm free I will not see beyone I had to be who I was all along Ay *crash* [Verse 4] I think I mighta broke it down Hoppin' on the fuckin' steps like ain't no around Open up that door, you bet, ship ain't goin' down Guess the only thing left is to take a bow [Hook 3] 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 must be rockin' 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 goin' crazy I'm just prayin', I don't It's just I know It's just I know [Conclusion] (Just I know) Fuck! (Just I know (echo)) That felt good Well, that's all I got The show is over, as they say [Spoken Outro] 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 thinkin' 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 goin' 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 sittin' next to each other smokin' cigars And bein' 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'?" [Aside] Bring the - bring the beat back up. I don't know why Like, keep, loop everything. I wanna be talkin' for minutes, yeah, uh, y'know what I'm sayin'? [Outro 2] 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, fuckin' album song on that shit And we survived, baby Uh, shoutout Allen Iverson, Larry David, Will Smith, and Kobe Bryant For makin' 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 [Outro 3] 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 seein' the signs that it's not, I'm I think I'm seein' 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 fuckin' 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 bein' real Like, I had never actually done it before But I was feelin' 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 [Outro 4] So, but still, like, I am about to let my hair down And, I don't know, I just feel like it's all comin' 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 thinkin' 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 clearin' up Like, it's totally on the upswing But, I just want you know I did record this shit through pinkeye [Outro Verse 5] Alright, I could talk for fuckin' 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 Fundin' 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 been 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 gettin' some feature looks But he don't just hop on shit [Conclusion] Fuck, I, I got nothin' 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."
