[Verse 1] 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)
[Hook] 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 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 often 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 comi
