Trill
Dappy Lyrics

Yah, yeah-yeah, yeah
Yes, this is a positive affirmation

Stay prayed up
Continue to have faith and pray

Did you see how many feds were at my door, wow
There were a surprising number of law enforcement officers at my doorstep

Should've seen how many paps were at the courthouse
There were a lot of paparazzi at the courthouse

Do you know how much I have had to fork out?
Do you understand the amount of money I've had to spend?

Who's that fucking banging on the door now?
Someone is aggressively knocking on the door

It's cool, let them in, it's only few of my lot from round the way
It's alright, allow them to enter, they are just a few of my friends from the neighborhood

Shout out to the dawgies dem from day
Salute to my loyal friends from day one

Yeah they might come in a pack
They may arrive together

But they all got my back so I'll never lead them astray
They all support and protect me, so I'll never betray their trust

I nearly lost my boy the other week
I almost lost my friend recently

These streets will swallow you up, it's peak
The dangers of the streets can consume you, it's a difficult situation

One minute he was running his mouth on his celly to me
One moment, he was talking on the phone to me

An hour later, he could just about speak
An hour later, he could barely speak

We addicted to diamonds
We have a strong desire for diamonds

We ain't scared of no sirens
We are not afraid of police sirens

We just drive past the feds twice but they're none the wiser
We simply drive past the police twice without arousing suspicion

I'm repping for the underdogs
I'm representing and supporting those who are underestimated

Yeah I'm a scumbag, watch me light up this nightclub
Yes, I may be considered low-class, but see how I bring energy to the nightclub

Donny in a Nike glove
A man wearing a Nike glove

See I ain't no gunman
I am not a gun-wielding person

But chat shit in person, you'll get the one bang
But if you provoke me in person, you'll receive a single blow

Swear down, next time it's gonna be a mad ting
I promise, the next time will be a crazy situation

That was the last time I get called a hasbeen
That was the most recent occasion when I was called washed-up

I mean let's be real, I've got half a mil'
Let's be honest, I have 500,000 pounds

To get ... by Lulu and Jasmine
To obtain something from Lulu and Jasmine

My YGs do what I say so
My young gang members obey my commands

Why you think I'm always tryna lay low
Do you wonder why I always try to stay out of the spotlight?

They could boot me off of them airways
They could remove me from the radio stations

But that will never dictate my payroll
But that will never control my income

We had my tunes before iTunes
We had my songs before iTunes existed

Bebo before Myspace
We used Bebo before we used Myspace

The whole gang got some deepthroat
The entire gang has connections and insider information

The first time that they ever booked my face
The first time they ever scheduled my appearance

I never had a pot to piss in so fuck off, I'll call you later
I was extremely poor, so leave me alone, I'll contact you later

Had enough of giving all these handouts
I'm tired of providing assistance to everyone

So get your hands out my pot of paper
Stop taking money from me

No matter how much that I spend or how much scrilla I earn for my gigs
Regardless of how much I spend or earn from my performances

If you're my bro then you already know that you never ever have to ask for a thing
If you're my friend, you should already know that you never have to request anything from me

Fuck sticking to one lane, I've got ten bruv
Forget staying in one lane, I have multiple paths

It be a wrap when I bring back N-Dubz cuz'
It will be a success when I reunite with N-Dubz, cousin

Whatever they say won't faze me 'cause I don't need to react, my friend does
Whatever they say won't bother me because I don't need to respond, my friend will

Now that's love
That is a genuine display of affection

Oi that's love
Hey, that is love

Only thing that can buy my trust
The only thing that can earn my trust is genuine love

Seems like they only wanna do us any favors when we up
It appears that they only want to help us when we are successful

That's what's up, ay what's up
That's how things are, hey what's happening

You know it's nothing but love
You know it's pure affection

But I ain't always gon' be there when you run out of luck
But I won't always be available when you face misfortune

And that's trill
And that's real and authentic

Not everybody ends up with a house on the hill
Not everyone achieves substantial success and wealth

Believe me, I know how you feel
Trust me, I understand your emotions

But for now let's just be real
But for now, let's be honest with each other

Acting like you the only one out in these streets
Behaving as if you're the only one facing challenges in these streets

We all got families to feed
We all have responsibilities to provide for our families

So all I can do is be trill
So all I can do is be genuine and true

So we come from the manor
We come from the neighborhood

Where's there's nothing but pasta
Where there is primarily pasta to eat

And that doesn't matter
But that is insignificant

'Cause when you take a L, you go get your hammer
Because when you experience a loss, you take action to recover

Oi, oi, oi
Hey, hey, hey

I done lost a hella stacks
I have lost a large sum of money

So it's only right I get it by ya
So it is only fair that I retrieve it from you

I done lost a hella, uh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I have lost a significant amount, uh, yes yes yes yes
