Made a Name

Текст песни David Dallas - Made a Name

Air miles clocked up, bank account topped up
We made a name offa this
Flows on the track, on my back, shit
We made a name offa this
Made the people back home proud, sold a couple shows out
We ain't gonna change up a bit
Just being famous for nothing ain't shit
Man, we made a name offa this

No sell out, no compromise at all
Still the same as the way I came in Almighty Maw
Passed up on every fad that they got excited for
Try and write it off but they think it's kinda off
Time's always gonna tell, you could check the dialogue
I'm not known for antics, I'm known for writin' fire songs
Don't come with memes, I don't try to be no funny guy
Writin' little subtweets hopin' that no one replies
That's some bitch shit, all I do is fuckin' rhyme
Wife somethin' fine, got her on the other line
So don't waste my fuckin' time
Too many dudes with no guts and a rubber spine
Scared to do their own thing so they sit and wonder why
Kanye can touch the sky, and they can't
Always focused on what ain't hot, and fake charts
Comin' with those same bars
Fuck a format, I didn't come to take part
Came to take over, William Wallace, I'm a Braveheart
Rep for them people out there who come from the same parts
Had the same start, could be doin' some inane task
For minimum wage, hard labour, pushin' freight carts
A new Subaru's close as we get to a racecar
So dudes like Mike Hosking could get their face glassed
And I walk straight past, and not see a damn thing
Ray Charles
They used to it 'cause all they do is look the other way
Out of touch with the people I see every other day
Not tryna help but always seem to have so much to say
About where the tax payer's dollars should be paid
And how you should behave
How your parents coulda saved, poor people shouldn't make
How the government has done enough, how much should it take
Swear they did it on their own with a smug lookin' face
Too dumb to recognise the luck and privilege put in place
I'm on a tangent but it's the chance I couldn't waste
Couldn't wait, never really could embrace
Stuff that was so watered down that I couldn't taste
What I woulda gave to hear someone
Else tell it in a way I could relate
Hova, Hibeast, that's the way the hood relates
Music that nobody could replace
So fuck what you got paid off of, got laid off of, got played off of
This right here is what we made a name off of

Air miles clocked up, bank account topped up
We made a name offa this
Flows on the track, on my back, shit
We made a name offa this
Made the people back home proud, sold a couple shows out
We ain't gonna change up a bit
Just being famous for nothing ain't shit
Man, we made a name offa this

Air miles clocked up, bank account topped up
We made a name offa this
Flows on the track, on my back, shit
We made a name offa this
Made the people back home proud, sold a couple shows out
We ain't gonna change up a bit
Just being famous for nothing ain't shit
Man, we made a name offa this

How different would I have been?
I probably would have remained very traditional
And most important of all to me
I would not have discovered another world
And that world is another language
The English language in this case
By adopting another language, I was adopting
Another way of looking at the world and the cosmos
Because when you acquire a language, you acquire another way of seeing
How difficult it's going to be for these
Young people to see in more than one way
And yet, they must
