Go Off
Dave East Lyrics

Niggas don't want me to go off (go off)
People are trying to prevent me from showing my true potential and expressing myself.

You alone's got the blow off (blow off)
You have the ability to control and manipulate a situation or person.

Smokin', stressin', you had blow up (blow up)
You are dealing with the aftermath and consequences of your actions or decisions while trying to cope with addiction.

Now I'm gettin' head watchin' Ozark (woo)
I am receiving oral sex while watching the Netflix show Ozark.

Addicted to lean, I will pour up (pour up)
I am addicted to codeine cough syrup and will continue to consume it.

You run up on me, it's gon' go up (boom)
If you try to approach me in a confrontational way, it will lead to a violent altercation.

Dirty niggas, we had no bucks (none)
We were once poor and struggling to make ends meet.

Now we travel the world, fuck the globe up (vroom)
We are now successful and able to travel around the world, leaving an impact on every place we visit.

It's hard to be sober (uh)
It's difficult to resist temptation and maintain sobriety.

Started with four and a baby, no talkin', no strollin'
We started with a small group and tried to keep quiet and discrete without attracting attention.

We don't do no snitchin' (none)
We do not cooperate with the police or authorities.

I stay away from the witness
I try to avoid any situation or person that could potentially testify or provide evidence in a criminal case.

That's why I don't talk to Jehovah (bomb)
I do not associate with religious groups or any organization where members might share private information with each other or outsiders.

I'm 'bout to bubble like powder and soda
I am about to become highly successful and rise to the top, similar to carbonated water and baking powder bubbling when mixed together.

I got a problem, don't know how to control it
I am struggling with addiction and lack the ability to stop or limit my consumption.

Ran out of bullets, I gotta reload it
I need to replenish my resources, whether it be literal bullets or other means to continue my illegal activities.

She looked at my chain, now she gotta be open
A woman became interested in me and intrigued by my wealth and success after noticing my flashy jewelry.

He gotta be rollin'
He must be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Really came up in the trap, figured I'd get rich off this rap shit
I made a name for myself in the drug game and thought I could transition to a successful career in the music industry.

Let a bad bitch roll a blunt in the front
I allowed an attractive woman to roll a marijuana joint in the front seat of my car.

It stick in the back, Lord said I'ma get it back
Something I lost in the past will eventually find its way back to me, as if it was meant to be.

Now when I get it, I stash it (uh)
When I obtain what was previously missing, I immediately hide or save it for later use.

I go to Texas, they treat a nigga like a maverick
When I visit Texas, people treat me with newfound respect and admiration, similar to how NBA player Dirk Nowitzki is treated like a hero in Dallas (nickname: the Mavericks).

Go to the shotty, treat me like a bull
When I am at the shooting range, people treat me like a skilled marksman, much like how a successful matador is respected as a bullfighter.

Still tryna eat, nigga, I'm full
I am already successful and satisfied with my current status, but I still pursue more wealth and success.

All my people leanin' right on me, they know my bread long
My friends and associates rely on me and trust that I have a lot of money (bread).

Take advantage of it even though they know that's dead wrong
They are aware that their behavior is morally wrong, but they continue to exploit my wealth anyway.

Why I pay them cash? I ain't takin' bribes, hell no
Others may see my payments to friends and associates as bribes, but I do not view it that way since I am not receiving anything in return.

Take a million pics, don't know who fit or not, my head on
I am so popular and well-known that I cannot keep track of who I have met or taken pictures with.

Suck a million dicks, don't want no nigga shit, my mans gone
I have gone through so much hardship and struggle that I refuse to engage in any behavior that could potentially harm me or my loved ones.

In the (?) Who here already rich, or already damn near on some shit
I am among a group of wealthy and successful people who have already achieved high levels of success or are on the cusp of doing so.

My brother always ridin' for, can't be on point for when he switch (ooh)
My sibling is always supporting and defending me, but I cannot always be attentive when he undergoes changes or shifts in behavior.

If a nigga ain't gon' come 'round, he'll come 'round 'cause he bitch
If someone is acting cowardly or in a feminine manner, they will eventually switch sides or reveal their true intentions.

When I talk it's serious, that's what it is
I am straightforward and honest when I communicate, and do not waste time with frivolous or unnecessary words.

Still right by my whip
I am still loyal to the friends and associates who have been with me from the beginning.

Have a U-turn, got a chopper now, I'm still right by my crib
Even though my circumstances have improved and I now own a helicopter, I still remain loyal to my roots and upbringing.

I ain't never told of fear, and we ain't never blow away kids (Uh-huh)
I am never afraid and have never resorted to harming innocent children.

I know how to run it up so much, I never know this is (Uh-huh)
I am so skilled at making money and being successful that I do it effortlessly, without realizing how much I have achieved.

Ayy, that's my lil' soldier, go off (go off)
I have a loyal subordinate who is ready to serve and fight on my behalf whenever necessary.

I thought I told you, go off (go off)
I have previously instructed you to take action, so do it now.

Don't let 'em hold you, go off (go off)
Do not let anyone or anything hold you back or prevent you from achieving your goals.

You doin' it right, go off (go off)
You are succeeding and making progress, so keep going and do not give up.

Only one life, go off (go off)
We only have one chance to live life to the fullest, so take risks and make the most of it.

This might be your night, go off (go off)
This could be your opportunity to shine and succeed, so take advantage of it.

I shine when the light go off (go off)
I am successful and impressive even when there is no one to witness it or give me credit.
