Psalms of David II (Intro)
[Verse 1]
My birthday's in 9 days, I'm analyzing my life
Got a couple bad habits I'm still tryna get right
As I write to this beat, tryna get my head straight
Got a couple people on my team feeling like dead weight
I'm finna cut 'em, they don't know it yet, no hard feelings
2013 gonna be the year I make it, Lord willing
Invested every dime into myself, never did I borrow
I'm 'posed to get a record deal offered to me tomorrow
So when you hear this, I might be signed
Been grinding hard since Katrina, so it might be time
My hand can't move fast enough as I write these rhymes
To my soldiers, don't get distracted by these girls, though they might be dimes
I'm saying that cause I got one on my mind
She can have any dude she want because she so fine
I'm like, "Boo, I'm feeling you, you feeling me, so what's next?"
But it ain't nothing too much cause she's stuck on her ex
Anyway, I'm growing closer to my father as the days go by
Scientist tell my, "God ain't real" but that's a age old lie
I lost my first love in college, went through depression then started rapping
But I see God had a plan cause now I got it cracking
I watched Macklemore's life change before my eyes
Met with Chris Lighty 'bout management right before he died
I've seen so much I'd be a fool not to record it
They don't know how close David was to being aborted
Man, I'm here, and I got your ear
Rest in Peace to Goliath, this is not your year
I rose from New Orleans
A rose grew amidst the cracks in the pavement
These are the psalms of David, just sit back in amazement
