Ring a Bell

Текст песни David Dallas - Ring a Bell

Young and thirsty for some recognition
Sittin' up at Manukau, talkin' to the girls like they were women
Just a boy tryna be a man, tryna keep it pimpin'
Dreamin' of a life with no inhibition, not just tryna fit in
I'm tryna be the one they notice, talkin' 'bout
Me and Samoan cats are rubbin' shoulders, talkin' 'bout
Me turnin' heads up at Hunter's Corner way before
We could turn a club into a fuckin' sauna, I knew that

I wanted something like that, I wanna fuckin' shine
Don't wanna stand in the queue, I wanna jump the line
Now when I hit the night spots, bouncers know the time
Now when I drop a new flow, people know it's mine
Did you notice I'm comin' off a little brash?
You would say I beat the odds if you did the math
Same people used to front, now tryna kiss my ass
Yellin' out, "Ayy, D.D."

Shit reminds me of the old days
I'm gettin' back to my old ways
Used to really want a gold chain, mean gears, new car
And everyone to know who we are

Does my name ring a bell now?
Does my name ring a bell now?
Does my name ring a bell now, like bring, ding, dong?
That's the type of shit that I'm on

Guess some things don't ever change
Guess some things don't ever change
So tell me, does my name ring a bell now?
Talkin' like ring, ding, dong
If it don't, it will before long
Does my name ring a bell now?

Couple years back, it was the worst
December 13th, still tryna find a gig for the 31st
Actin' like they never heard a verse
Booking agents saying that it's quiet, you might have to look for work
You might have to switch it up, frenemies droppin' hints
"Maybe this shit ain't for you, maybe you should give it up"
Maybe I'm just crazy and refuse to admit it
But fuck it, go grab the credit card, it's time to push the limit up

Got a couple bills past due, need the quicker bucks
Me and Shea had a plan, all we need's a little luck
Fast-forward four years, now it's a different buzz
Heard "Runnin'" so much, I'm gettin' sick of us
Seein' rave reviews is gettin' written up
Gotta mention me if you talkin' 'bout who's rippin' up
Gotta know the name, can't act like you don't give a fuck
Shit is no biggie, but I still gotta hit 'em up

I hold that on my mind
24-7, that's three-six-five
Papatoe from the 09 won't last
When you see me out now, you know

Shit reminds me of the old days
I'm gettin' back to my old ways
Used to really want a gold chain, mean gears, new car
And everyone to know who we are

Does my name ring a bell now?
Does my name ring a bell now?
Does my name ring a bell now, like bring, ding, dong?
That's the type of shit that I'm on

Does my name ring a bell now?
Does my name ring a bell now?
Does my name ring a bell now?
Talkin' like bring, ding, dong
If it don't, it will before long
Does my name ring a bell now?
