With his first mixtape project, 2007’s Customized Greatly Vol. 1, the 16 year-old lyricist proved that he had the potential to be more than just another Myspace artist. He followed up that project a year later with Customized Greatly Vol. 2 which produced “I’m Right Here” and “It’s All Good,” two songs that picked up around the city. By junior year, he realized that this was something that he not only wanted, but needed to do. So he traded in the hard wood for the stage, dusted off his rhyme book and started getting even more serious about his music. He was making a name for himself amongst the younger crowd in Los Angeles, but now he has his sights set on greater gains. Vol. 1 was somewhat of an experiment, Vol. 2 a test, but now the teen-aged spitter is ready for graduation.
Sleeping in Class, his third solo project, and arguably his most evolved yet, promises to be a culmination of the lessons he’s learned over the last couple of years. The tape intends to prove that while the young artist is not quite seasoned, his potential is definitely ripe.
DTA feat. Tyler

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shaded up with a girl or two, not a worry at all
I'm with them niggas in LA, that you know about, know about, from your girl
From the word of mouth, I'm the only name that come out her mouth
To the South, Texas state, yeah that's where my family at
Deep up in the country homie where people be burnin' trash
Rollin' by, feelin' hella good, I been up in Inglewood
Since Paul Pierce went to Inglewood went from hood to hood
Hear them dudes rappin' 'bout it, but really they don't understand
I come from a little somethin' called the streets, taught me how to be a man
Hear them dudes rappin' 'bout it, but really they don't understand
Understand?
Girls come around, man they been tryna get it out me
Niggas in my face, they don't know nothin' about me
Most these niggas fake, I say loud I say it proudly
We got money to make, and we don't trust anybody, anybody
Said we don't trust anybody, anybody
I said high school, 11th grade, CDs in my back pack
Who ever needed that, they got it, next day they come back, they on it
Most these chickens actin' on it, lovin' how I'm tappin' on it
Niggas hit me up, yeah they lovin' how I'm rappin' on it
Said I will attack a track, and this gone need a rappin' lawyer
Charged before assault, look at all this shit I bought
I'm always tryna floss, and when I get I'mma do it right
Straight shinin' on them lames, from the mornin' to the night
From the mornin' to the night, I take the air, takin' flight
Yeah that's that LA shit, young guys on they playlist
Jordans and the gold chain, Illmatic bumpin'
Nas did it first and now I'm 'bout to tell 'em somethin'
They all up in my face when I walk up in the function
Them girls wasn't dancin', but now they all jumpin'
I said Jordans and the gold chain, Illmatic bumpin'
Nas did it first and now I'm 'bout to tell 'em somethin', Veggies
Girls come around, man they been tryna get it out me
Niggas in my face, they don't know nothin' about me
Most these niggas fake, I say loud I say it proudly
We got money to make, and we don't trust anybody, anybody
Said we don't trust anybody, anybody
Hey girl, what's your name? Do you wanna suck a dick?
Who am I? Wolf Haley, yeah I'm known for punchin' bitches
In the fuckin' brain, do wanna give me some?
No you don't? Why you won't? Oh, you're a fuckin' nun
Didn't mean to offend, oh, you're a lesbian
So I'm guessin' you don't really like to put your trust in men?
Who do I trust? Um, heroine addicts and
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, yeah I can count on them
Who is him? Signed proof in a suit
Preme' six panel cap with the green brim
It's box logo this, box logo that
Usually a caucausian, big swallow on the cack, oh snap
I am, spittin' like I got chipped tooth, pop some Prozac
Golf Wang nigga, know that or that can
Turn into some neck, gettin' snapped up properly
Tyler Creator and Casey Veggies, fuck broccoli
Yeah, DTA in this bitch
I don't trust nobody nigga
I mean, you can trust these niggas but
At the end, they fuckin' you, no homo
Swag (Casey Veggies nigga
Tyler the Creator, from '07 and to beyond)
In Casey Veggies's song DTA feat. Tyler, the two artists rap about their experiences growing up and making it in Los Angeles (LA). The first verse begins with Casey Veggies saying that he was hanging out with his friends in the cut, trying to find shade with a girl or two and not having any worries. He talks about how his name is the only one that comes out of his girl's mouth and how he comes from the streets, unlike other rappers who may be pretending. In the chorus, he reiterates their distrust for anyone trying to get something from them.
In the second verse, Casey Veggies talks about his life in high school when he was selling CDs out of his backpack. He talks about how women are interested in him, and men are fake, but he proudly announces that he has money to make and that he doesn't trust anybody. Tyler, the Creator jumps in with a verse that is more aggressive, talking about his trust issues and an encounter with a girl where he is vulgar and offensive. The song ends with the two rappers asserting their independence and their trust issues, saying they will only trust certain people in their lives.
