Big Time

[Interlude]
"So, what's up, Dave? What have you been doing with yourself"
"[?]. Um, getting good marks and stuff"
"Yeah, that's good, but what do you want to do?
What's, what's your goal?"
"I don't know I just want to have a house, car"
"Yeah, all those things are good, but to get that
You need to have, like, a singular focus
Something that you wanna achieve
Something that you wanna do that's gonna get you all these things
That you want; you need to be focused on that goal

[Intro]
We hit the big time
Yeah
Ye-ye-ye-ye-yeah
Uh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Gimme that
Mic, fool, lemme get a few things off the chest
I remember the student days put me to the test, yes
Actually, you could say, that I put myself through it
How could I be helpful to mum if I ain't sail through a
Tertiarty institute, older brother, sister who
Did it, so you ain't shit if you ain’t in the livin' room
With “bachelor” on the wall, this plaque is awarded for
What? I don’t know shit, back chillin' on a wall
Outside of the guidance counselors office
And he sittin' askin' if I know what I’m really wantin'
Out of life, see, I don't know what I wanna do
Or pursue, I just want to make moves with the crew

[Chorus]
To hit the big time (Big time, bro, they can see you shine)
Soon we’ll hit the big time (Big time, big time)
When we hit the big time (Big time, bro, they can see you shine)
Soon we’ll hit the big time (Big time, the big time)
So you gotta reach for that money, keep receipts for that money
They gon’ leach all that money when you least need it, but we hit the
Big time (Big time, big time)
Soon we’ll hit the big time (Big time, bro, they can see you shine)

[Post-Chorus]
Go, go, go, go (Big time)
Go, go, go, go (Big time)
Go, go, go, go (Big time)
Go, go, go, go

[Verse 2]
Year '00
Now, I’m outside in the big bad world
Tryna make some dollars, maybe I could bag a bad girl
What, what you wanna do? Still don’t really know
So just grabbed the university brochure, and I chose
Somethin at a whim, I.T? Yeah, I like computer games
“But I heard their pay got lower since Y2K?”
Fuck it, I suck at economics and accounting
So BCom is out, B Bursary cut down
All the choices, ain't no medicine or engineerin'
For me, now, the only small problem is the fees
Cost three-and-a-half to five over four years
Yeah, it's steep, but you shoulda tried to save before you here
You gon' need money for textbooks on top of that here
Here’s a discount card for Shads, cheapen up your beer
Don’t fear, if you ain’t got no money, little Dave
Here’s a student loan form, you can sign your life away

[Chorus]
To hit the big time (Big time, bro, they can see you shine)
Soon we’ll hit the big time (Big time, big time)
When we hit the big time (Big time, bro, they can see you shine)
Soon we’ll hit the big time (Big time, the big time)
So you gotta reach for that money, keep receipts for that money
They gon’ leach all that money when you least need it, but we hit the
Big time (Big time, big time)
Soon we’ll hit the big time (Big time, bro, they can see you shine)

[Post-Chorus]
Go, go, go, go (Big time)
Go, go, go, go (Big time)
Go, go, go, go (Big time)
Go, go, go, go (Big time)
Go, go, go, go (Big time)
Go, go, go, go (Big time)
Go, go, go, go

[Outro]
Big ti-time, br-br-bro
Bro, they can see you shine
Big time, bro, they can see you shine
They can see you shine
