[Intro: David Bars]

[Scratches by DJ Premier]
“It’s David Bars”
“Got to bring it to your chest as I bring it to you live”
“Tell ‘em I’m a natural”
“From the Bronx”
“Yo where you at?”
[Verse 1: David Bars]
Classic shit, I’m talking ‘bout plaques and hits
I came a long way from selling all these packs and shit
I count bags full of cash when they pass me shit
I’m Illmatic when I’m at it on some Nasty shit
Don’t ask me shit, army jacket, 40 below Timbs on
Moved through the streets real discrete like I been on
Young nigga trapping in it just to keep the bitch warm
Every man for themselves in this race so get your sprint on
New car, put the tints on so they don’t see the god
These rappers couldn’t bring bars back, had to give me the job
You’re welcome, y’all all welcome to watching me evolve
They never thought I’d be here to see this far, now he in charge
Me and Preem on the track, murder one, I beat the charge
Where I’m from, we’re not meant to make it, I guess I beat the odds
[Hook: David Bars]
Mad progression, I’m past the stressing
No better than Bars, you dumb to even ask this question
Class in session and Bars is clean
I’m back and I’m rapping, it’s Bars and Preem
I ain’t come to talk fly and I ain’t flossing cream
Late nights and hard work, that’s what it costs to dream
Class in session and Bars is mean
I’m back and I’m rapping, it’s Bars and Preem
I ain’t come to talk fly and I ain’t flossing cream
Late nights and hard work, that’s what it costs to dream
[Verse 2: David Bars]
You hear my name everywhere that’s all across the scene
Across the boards of course, never cross the team
Loyalty before royalty, that’s the boss regime
Ain’t no gimmick with my shit, I don’t get lost in schemes
Make this clear, I waited my whole life just to get here
If you ain’t bring nothing to the table, you can’t sit here
They think it’s overnight ‘cause they’re only watching from this year
Everything is mine from here and out no matter which year
We’re getting rich here but ain’t talking ‘bout how the wrist glare
Probably catch me chilling in some Kith gear
[Hook]
Mad progression, I’m past the stressing
No better than Bars, you dumb to even ask this question
Class in session and Bars is clean
I’m back and I’m rapping, it’s Bars and Preem
I ain’t come to talk fly and I ain’t flossing cream
Late nights and hard work, that’s what it costs to dream
Class in session and Bars is mean
I’m back and I’m rapping, it’s Bars and Preem
I ain’t come to talk fly and I ain’t flossing cream
Late nights and hard work, that’s what it costs to dream
[Outro: Scratches by DJ Premier]
“Got to bring it to your chest as I bring it to you live”

“Got to bring it to your chest as I bring it to you live”
