Verse One (Funky DL)
(Yeah, yo’), best to ever do it, no wonder I’m about to kill this
And make it my business to make it your business
Yo’ they say dope Rappers are in shortages
But they ignoring us
But we ain’t really trying to hear from these Tortoises
It ain’t hard to keep you hooked like choruses
I do my thing and switch it up, metamorphosis
So I don’t take no bull, where my Taurus’s?
I’m trying to get my name bigger than enormous is
Peace to everybody out there supporting this
But I ain’t that troubled if you don’t
Suppliers just doubled up my quote
I’m getting paid from a tonne of old rope
Wanna’ learn from me? You better take those notes
I’m a Burgundy; I straight quench those throats
Now you heard of me, it’s absurdity
I am certainly and for eternity
Gonna’ keep myself plugged to the circuitry
So no need for me to join a fraternity
Universally, they familiar from afar, or they personally
Could be singing my praises, or they the cursing me
I don’t care which degree, university
It ain’t fair when you see me commercially
Oh no! D came up on the scene, now he won’t go
With his black and white Wash Classics logo
And the boy just flow like Orinoco, whoa! Come again
So heavy, bound to make you wanna run again
Got a style, older crowd feels young again
Oops there they go falling in love again
And I can promise you that like a covenant
Chorus (Stee Moglie)
With all my strength and all my soul
Oh, oh, I won’t let you down
No, won’t ever, won’t ever let you down
I won’t break it; no I won’t break it
The promise, ooh
The promise that I made to you and I
Verse Two (Funky DL)
(Yo’), these the best days, independent artist it be the best way
It’s a lot of hard work, but people press play
And from all around the world then D will get paid
And the money goes back for beats to get made
Never do it for the fame, or the need to get laid
So you better think twice, your team can get slayed
Now you silent, probably be the best way
On an island, under the trees, the best shade
No pilot bringing you back
So just stay outta’ my way, something like a hurricane
Cos’ back in the day when I was a teenager
An A&R man bought me a little pager
So I could go studio and drop a little flava’
And never stop doing it to this very day
I don’t play, cos’ this ain’t a game
They say I don’t get the props I deserve
But that’s really okay, I’m ahead of the curve
And I could have been them, but instead I preferred to just be me
And I give you my word that I’m more concerned
With giving everyone something really superb
And I go back in the studio and return with a classic
They say D go hard, if it wasn’t this way there would be no bars
If it wasn’t that way, there would be no scars
Yo’ and the boy just flow like Orinoco, whoa! Come again
So heavy bound to make you wanna run again
Got a style older crowd feels young again
Oops there they go falling in love again
And I can promise you again with a covenant
Chorus x2 (Stee Moglie)
With all my strength and all my soul
Oh, oh, I won’t let you down
No, won’t ever, won’t ever let you down
I won’t break it; no I won’t break it
The promise, ooh
The promise that I made to you and I
