DNA
07. Dna Lyrics

Sometimes I gotta slow this down
Occasionally, I need to take a step back and calm down

I get a little cocky
I sometimes become overly confident

Everyone will try but
Many people will attempt to challenge me, but

Nobody will stop me
None of them will succeed in hindering my progress

I've always been around
I have always been present

And not one of y'all could drop me
None of you have been able to defeat me

I'm the realest writer ever
I am the most authentic and genuine songwriter

If you claiming 'real' you a copy
If you claim to be 'real,' you are merely imitating others

Remember back in the day
Recall the past

My dream was playing hockey
I aspired to be a hockey player

Back when I had no worries with
During a time when I had no concerns about

Rapping as a hobby
Rap music was just a leisure activity for me

And then I met my family
And then I encountered my relatives

My head got a little sloppy
I became somewhat disoriented

I started losing sleep at night
I began having difficulty sleeping at night

Addicted to drinking coffee
I became dependent on consuming coffee

Started getting answers then
Started obtaining revelations at that point

Gaining weight had got me
I gained weight as a result

Popping melatonin just to try to not feel groggy
Taking melatonin to avoid feeling drowsy

Dropping out of school
Deciding to leave school

Because everyone was snobby
Due to the arrogant attitude of everyone

Sports became nothing
Sports lost their significance

Losing control of my body and
Experiencing a loss of control over my physical self and

Then I got the call
Then I received a phone call

And was told that we lost Robbie...
I was informed that Robbie had passed away...

No one even told me
Nobody bothered to inform me

That the family called him Bobby
That the family referred to him as Bobby

I wish I never showed up
I regret attending

To see you look like a zombie
To witness you appear lifeless

I wish I just had turned around
I wish I had simply turned back

Like I thought in the lobby
As I had contemplated in the lobby

Outside I showed nothing
Externally, I displayed no emotions

But deep down I went insane
Internally, I felt overwhelmed

I was chilling with my family but
I was spending time with my family, yet

I didn't have their name man
I did not truly belong to their lineage

Ogley to Andrego
Transitioning from being an Ogley to an Andrego

Too young to know it changed
Too young to understand the transformation

The Andrego heirloom
Symbolic of the Andrego family legacy

Compared to my family
In comparison to my relatives

Never be the same
Will never be identical

Andrego equals books and school
The Andrego name is associated with education and academia

Ogley - Crack cocaine
Ogley name represents the destructive drug, crack cocaine

I really wonder where I got the skill
I truly ponder where I acquired the talent

To learn to entertain
To become adept at entertaining others

I'd never pop more than a headache pill
I would never consume more than a pill to relieve a headache

I learned from what they couldn't change
I gleaned knowledge from their flaws

I'll never do a line again
I will never snort a line of drugs again

That one time I'll explain
I will clarify that one instance

See I wanted to know the high
I desired to experience the intoxication

That took my family all away
That led to the loss of my family

And from that day I did it
And henceforth, I indulged in it

Man I always felt afraid
I consistently experienced fear

That I would get addicted and be
That I would become dependent and

Trapped with no escape
Stuck with no way out

But my want to know the feelings
However, my curiosity about the sensations

Why I made that dumb mistake
The reason behind that foolish error

That mistake is in my head
That mistake remains in my mind

And it's one I can't erase, and
And it is one I cannot remove, and

It's eating me inside
It is consuming me internally

I just hope you can't relate
I simply wish you cannot understand

I know that I should drop it
I am aware that I should let go of it

Your past makes you who you are today
Your past experiences shape your current self

But there's a lot of shit I've done and man
Yet, there are many things I have done and, man

I can't concentrate, on thinking straight
I am unable to focus and think clearly

Anymore, so I say I'm okay, I can't complain
Anymore, so I claim to be fine, I have no complaints

How bout you? man fuck it life is great
What about you? Well, forget it, life is excellent

But even those are lies I tell myself
However, even those statements are falsehoods I convince myself of

And most times I will hesitate
And, in most instances, I will hesitate

Inside I am sad and pissed
Internally, I am filled with sadness and anger

Outside that won't be my display
Externally, I will not show it

Inside I will stay destroyed
Internally, I will remain broken

Outside I will remain
Externally, I will keep up appearances

Always happy, doing me and try to dedicate
Always appearing joyful, being true to myself, and attempting to commit

My whole life to music
My entire life to music

I hope it doesn't captivate
I hope it does not consume me

My stronger mind, cause inside
My resilient mentality, because internally

I know that I can dominate
I am aware that I can excel

While I do that man
As I pursue that, man

I hope to god that I can educate
I pray that I can enlighten others

Elevate, maybe even help the world and medicate
Uplift, perhaps even assist the world and heal

Motivate, regulate, real that's how I operate
Inspire, enforce standards, true to my nature is how I function

Canada is mine
Canada belongs to me

If you don't like it move and immigrate
If you dislike it, then relocate and immigrate

Even if you do I'm taking over every state
Even if you do, I will conquer every state

Oh you didn't know?
Oh, you were not aware?

Bitch my fuckin labels in LA
My damn record label is situated in Los Angeles

Capitol has put me on
Capitol has promoted me

And will put me on the stage
And will present me on stage

If you don't know this young bloods name
If you are not familiar with the name of this young individual

Yo learn it D N A
Well, learn it, D N A
