David drops a lyrically hard-hitting track after a long period with no new music lasting around a year and a half.
In the lyrics he touches on local issues in New Zealand such as loan sharks, foreign buyers, and the media.
All of this spit over some banging production by Fire & Ice, makes this...
[Chorus]
I don't rate that, shit, I don't really rate that
Take that how you wanna take that
(Get your pay snatched, or your face cracked
We ain't tryna hear it, you can save that)
Man, I don't rate that, shit, I don't really rate that
Take that how you wanna take that
(Snake cats lay the same traps
Fuck up outta here, you better make tracks), I don't rate that
[Verse 1]
'Cause of where I'm raised at
Single parent household, 278 cat
I don't really take naps, tryna get it ASAP
Miss we with the bourgeois shit, I wouldn't trade that
Wish that I could aim at these finance companies in the hood
Posing like they doing something good, fuck outta here (Fuck off)
Always puttin' more brown people on the ads
Knowin' damn well they tryna trick us outta cash
Sports stars front the campaigns, ain't it sad
Really selling out, do they understand? We don't rate that shit
I'm coming with the ace real quick
Do it big time like my breakthrough clip
Never been on that only god can save you tip
If I could tell the kids one thing, tell 'em
See the world, book a flight, it might just change you quick
What you read don't make you shit
What you do does and it's all about crew love
Never rated dudes that forget where they grew up
All we do is do us, ain't from the States
Ain't from the trap or the bando
I'm from a place where they got tinny houses and write straights
On plain wooden fences and white gates
None of my mates went for holidays besides lakes
Got an issue with what I say? Shit
[Chorus]
I don't rate that, shit, I don't really rate that
Take that how you wanna take that
(Get your pay snatched, or your face cracked
We ain't tryna hear it, you can save that)
Man, I don't rate that, shit, I don't really rate that
Take that how you wanna take that
(Snake cats lay the same traps
Fuck up outta here, you better make tracks), I don't rate that
[Verse 2]
James Brown for the payback
Sean Combs sayin', "Take that"
I turn the tables like A-Trak, don't think it's cool
'Cause it ain't that, you picked the wrong AK cat
To talk about race, Jack
Sick of hearing how you hate that
They buying everything that ain't tax
Blame it on the Chinese, say it's foreign buyers
But if a Brit buys up, you don't bat an eyelid
Fuckin' wylin', could be third-generation migrants
But we out here checkin' up on last names
What's next? Gonna check what shape their eyes is?
To tell the truth, it probably wouldn't be surprisin'
Seem to have an issue with what the country comprises
Xenophobes on the rise, and I don't rate that shit
Need another place real quick
To get the truth now, 'cause the mainstream news
Is some matrix shit
Happy-go-lucky clickbait, seein' spin every which way
Like I played Nadal on the red clay
Don't nobody care long as their rent's paid
A lot of faux outrage get forgot about the next day
People speak on it before they press play, that's the shit that I hate
Runnin' off your mouth when you uninformed
Frontin' like that should be the norm, shit
[Chorus]
I don't rate that, shit, I don't really rate that
Take that how you wanna take that
(Get your pay snatched, or your face cracked
We ain't tryna hear it, you can save that)
Man, I don't rate that, shit, I don't really rate that
Take that how you wanna take that
(Snake cats lay the same traps
Fuck up outta here, you better make tracks), I don't rate that
[Outro]
Fuck off
