“Little Things” speaks about DVG’s struggle to find what matters most to him (hence the repetition of “What do you admire the most?” throughout the song). The music video also gives a visual representation of DVG’s attempts of trying to fit into various situations but ultimately failing.
[Verse 1]
What do you admire the most
Driving with the windows down
And the heater blastin'
It's only us and the moon
Silent as night
Great moments don't always need laughin'
Tell me what you admire the most
Finding groove with your crew
Talking bullshit
Like its nothin'
People waste time
Like it's nothin'
We are not them
These days I can count all my friends on one hand
Kept the huddle tight; all my plays in one plan
But you've been so defensive
Maybe you should switch sides
Keep it simple, stupid
What they told me
I was a young'un
Running faster than I was growing
I was going, this is something
This is not a rebellion
This is not defiance
So delicate
Never tryna petal pick
[Chorus] x2
I've been trying so many things
Been watering down so many phrases
Done with these scrubs
And all my patients
You don't deserve none of my patience
[Verse 2]
In constant motion
Consciously breathing
Daily progression
Presently feeding
My obsession with studio sessions
Fuck all the flexing
My family's cooking;
Better than yours
Holidays
Hella plates
All this eating
I'm sore
Being ignored
Snoozing to snore more
Choosing to frown less
Aiming to move floors
Mighty blessed
Life or death
So let me just pour four
Sleep tight, my dude
You ain't in pain anymore
I enjoy the little things
The little sins
Slowly stacking all these little wins
Need a minute
I ain't kidding man
This has been the plan
The journey has re-routed a couple times
But I'm on my waze up
[Bridge 1]
What do you admire the most?
It's all the little things we do when we get close
It might be
It might be
Don't recite me
[Chorus] x3
I've been trying so many things
Been watering down so many phrases
Done with these scrubs
And all my patients
You don't deserve none of my patience
