"Daily Duppy (Don't Cry)" lyrics
Mum said If you want to cry I'll give you something to cry about
And since then I held my mouth
I put my pen to the pad like your boy put that knife to his mouth
Like run me your mobile now
I put pride to the side and I leave it
We've been grinding right now but once the fees in
I invest it right back I ain't eating
The fruit ain't fully formed yet what you reaping
You wanna make bangers for now ite cool
I'm trying to make songs that my children's children will feel
I'm talking bout legacy I'm talking like grandfathers properties Lagos to London you're bugging me
Empty buildings once were luxury
My mum was raised Rich that shit bothers me
Great grandads hotel I'm talking them kind of p's
It's all Cain and Abel I guess
Product of privilege I'm gassed and I'm pressed
Embrace your culture look I'm black and I'm blessed
And pray for your ends cause the hood is a mess
And pray for your friends cause life can be stress sometimes
Like I gotta take a breath sometimes and I've gotta protect and invest how I spend my time
But I wanna have fun and I wanna dress cute and I wanna enjoy my youth
Time is money so let's not waste it
You wanna conversate while I wanna get a payslip
I don't buy no Gucci or no Balmain
It takes too much of my change
How am I supposed to build an empire
When I'm spending every nickel and dime on attire
Mr I drive a Porsche
But you don't pay child support
That's more money more days in court
A couple of you girls are shocking
I hope them red bottoms support to you when you hit rock bottom
Spending cash that you don't have
Links to your mixtapes but they don't bang
Onomatopoeia man
I'm so impolite but it's needed
We're eating the lies that they're feeding
You love it like a fat kid loves cake
I wear a short skirt therefore it means rape
Ra explain that logic to me because I don't get it
It's like half of these guys stunting bout their income
Babes you just don't get it get it
Unless it's that student loan money
Then we both get it
See my mum told me to live by my means and I mean to be a millionaire without a -
Too scared of pills it's no fun
I grab for my pen they grab guns
They run through the six with their woes
I run through south east on my own
I like leather jackets and black skirts
I can't ever suck dick to get heard
Cause he's always tryna get his before hers
And always trying to get on the track they can't verse
I'm just keeping it real cause they won't
Don't go and ask your bredrens they know
Don't go and ask your bredrens they know
They know you can't flow but still let you go
It's peak I just deeped don't keep it up I can not keep in touch
I'm in my own zone
I'm in my own
I've always been way too nice and I've had people taking the piss out of it
And so you've got to flip that switch
And now they're going to see a brand new side of the kid
I went out on a limb for certains
Came back an amputee for certains
That's an old chapter let me pull that curtain tell em pause hole the applause
Awkward black girl in the house
And since then I held my mouth
I put my pen to the pad like your boy put that knife to his mouth
Like run me your mobile now
I put pride to the side and I leave it
We've been grinding right now but once the fees in
I invest it right back I ain't eating
The fruit ain't fully formed yet what you reaping
You wanna make bangers for now ite cool
I'm trying to make songs that my children's children will feel
