DYG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Salvation of the mind
Shout out to my momma
She kept a strong spine
Four kids and Mik,
We never missed a dine
I'm so thankful for my blessings
Now I'm chasing my own dime
Throwing up the peace sign
Throwing a body
Let me bruise it
Don't need a reason
I just ruin it
Then I let it be
Before I make decisions
That'll put me deep
Cuz fuck at thirteen
I had big dreams
Of being seen on the top charts
With DYG
But if I do something stupid
Then it all might just be
A stupid of waste of time
For the fans and DG
I don't need to be
Like Beast Coast
But I need to keep it clean
I'm so happy with my team
Got me feeling real Supreme
Midnight snacks on the card
Shoutout Krispy Kreme
Shits a dream
Fuck the lean
Drink that juice
And poppa beee
It's my time
It's our time
So why not
Fine dine
Big shrimp
Red wine
You know DYG's gonna be
All time
Yeah
All time
Yeah
Whoa
We're yeeting
We're yeeting
We're beasting
We're beasting
Oh yeah all these pussy boys
You know they fucking sleeping
Ran from the ruin
When I was fucking tripping
I don't ever lie when I say
I never sipped it yeah
Gotta keep my mind on tight
Cuz life's a fucking fight
Please, God
Don't take my fucking life
When the time comes
I'm gonna respectfully decline
I'm gonna sit and laugh
Then take a sip of wine
Oh yeah I gotta let myself shine
You only get one life
At the end of the world
There isn't a rewind
That means right now
It's my fucking time
My fucking time
Yeah my fucking time
Gotta be blessed
I didn't fall for my decisions
Cuz kids these days
They fall for misconception
I'm just here tryna change your perception
We like Rick and Morty
Jumping through different dimensions
I'm a chemist
Lysergic diethylamide
Love Potion #9
Mix it with the shroom tea
Nawmean
Dr. Dabs revive this beat
I mean yeah but shit ain't free
We got the sauce to keep it clean
Straight stoned
I'm feeling like Medusa
Your girl like my Versace
But she hit I'm tryna lose her
I ain't never been a loser
Leave your body needing sutures
I got unbelievable vocab
Lori was my English tutor
All these mind games
Got me feeling like Odysseus
All the time I look around
And wonder what this life is
Feeling trapped inside the cycle
Not the same as when we were kids
Gotta take care of my Mom
Man fuck I owe her more than that
Two jobs, plus degree
There ain't no fucking time for me
So I plead to father G
I might just need some rescuing
But when I trip I find my peace
Wish the whole world could have a piece
We'd be at peace,
The whole world
At least the nation
Making music with my brothers
This shit been my salvation

At least the nation
The country would be united and without problems
