Made a Name - David Dallas

Air miles clocked up

Bank account topped up

We made a name off of this

Flows on the trap

Put clothes on my back

Shit, we made a name off of 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 off of this

No sell out, no compromise at all

Still the same as the way I came in

No mighty morph

Passed up on every fad

That they got excited for

Try and write it off

But they thing is kinda off

Time’s always gonna tell

You can check the dialogue

I’m not known for antics

I’m known for writing fire songs

Don’t come with memes

I don’t try to be no funny guy

Writing little sub tweets

Hoping that no one replies

That’s some bitch shit

All I do is fuckin rhyme

Wife is something 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 art

And fake charts

Come up with the same bars

Fuck a format

I didn’t come to take part

Came to take over William Wallace

I’m a Brave heart

Rep for them people out there

Who come from the same part

Had the same start

Could be doing some Mondaine task

For minimum wage hard labour pushing freight carts

A new Subaru is as close as we get to a racecar

So dudes like Mike Hosking

Can keep they face glassed

And now 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 tryin to 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 could’ve saved

Poor people should’ve made

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 recognize the luck and privilege put in place

I’m on a tangent but this is 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 would’ve gave to hear someone else

Tell it in a way that I could relate

Over heartbeats that’s 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 off of this

Flows on the trap

Put clothes on my back

Shit, we made a name off of 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 off of this

«How different I’d be, and I probably would’ve remained very traditional.

And most important of all to me, I would not 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 others.

Because when you acquire a language you acquire another way
