GOAT Spirit - Dame D.O.L.L.A., Raphael Saadiq

It’s Dame D.O.L.L.A, ha

Ayy

Uh

Overflow of success, I wasn’t apologetic

Scared money make none, tell 'em D.O.L.L.A said it

If I ever had to fail or come up short, I move forward, not abort, uh

'Cause the mission a drill for me like a sport

I only see the bigger picture

Nothing minor or minature

And if you petty, I’ll probably miss ya

If you deadly, I might dismiss ya

You try to check me, you get your issue

Usually, when they look the part, it never fits ya

Like Kim K at a Sizzler

Or a chick that wanna be wit' you, but she be playin' sister

These niggas can bite but can’t replicate charisma

All this positivity help me negate the temper

Cut my circle down the middle, quickly they forget you

No benefits, they talk down, early stage dementia

Still the realest in my field and I’ma stay consensus

Find it funny when people get that hate in they heart

It’s clear I’m bored 'cause I just stopped evading the darts

The day ones and day million gon' change in the dark

Only a few stay parallel 'til you place it in park

I’m not a dummy, I was smart when money was funny

I needed a chef, I hired my cousin Punky

Bloodline on my back, like what’s a fuckin' monkey?

I get in my truest form when I’m feeling spunky

Hit my line, I be coming through in the clutch like

Twenty-three in his prime and they couldn’t touch Mike

Bloodsuckers, I be wakin' up to bug bites

I wouldn’t shy from a battle if me and cubs fight

Feel the vibe, though

Like it’s Vegas, we at The Cosmo

This house was built with my chicken like Roscoe’s

When it come to hoop, I’m a honcho

They prayin' for my fall from the stage

But I ain’t Bob though, silly niggas

I always knew who was really wit' us

Talkin' 'bout, «We bros,» and all along, they was really sisters

Type that wanna see you when you down so they really kick you

Gotta watch the ones that scream, «Loyal,» they really switchers

Really switchers

Bat on both sides, think I’m blind to the ghost ride

Couldn’t ride my wave with a low tide

My posture lowered, givin' praise to the most high

I’m that dude and all the realest gon' co-sign

From the gutter to a million, nigga, multi

Never sell my soul, nigga, miss me with the soul ties

Stand alone at the peak, I left a couple widowed

A nigga bold, I do him Coles, I resemble Bimbo

Don’t wanna see me Hulkin' up 'less it’s Henny and Hypno

Want a slice up out this pie, you could fade me, I’m Kimbo

I exercise the pen, but all my actions are equal

A master of the mind, my biggest weapon lethal

Dame Junior, only candidate to be the sequel

I come in peace, so it’s best if niggas just keep it peaceful

I took some L’s in this season, but, shit, I roll with it

My chin tucked when it’s rough, even my lows different

I slip or I parry, ain’t gotta co-pivot

See my picture by their goals, I got a goat spirit, nigga

Just look in the mirror

Look into my life

With a frame

You can’t be framed if you’re not in the picture (Every day, every day)

Sometimes I get tired

Still, I just rise, I rise, I rise

These streets don’t love you like you think they do, nigga

Smile and take a picture, pose wit' you

Then they go and turn their backs on you

Some of the shit that I’ve been through

Would make a young nigga cry, just know I feel you too, yeah

I slid right on through

Shit got me lookin' in the mirror, like, «How'd you get here?»

Just look in the mirror

Look into my life

With a frame

You can’t be framed if you’re not in the picture (Every day, every day)

Sometimes I get tired

Still, I just rise, I rise, I rise
