Just Another Rapper
Dave East Lyrics

Anything you put up, I can match it (I can match it)
I can match anything you do or say.

Make a hunnid, take fifty and you stash it (stash it)
When I make money, I put half of it away for later.

Spend the other fifty on some fashion (blow that)
I spend the rest on fashion because I like to look good.

Drivin' in the Bentley like I'm 'bout to crash it (skrr)
I drive my Bentley recklessly, like I don't care if it crashes.

You not a part of this so why you askin'? (Why you askin'?)
You're not involved in what I'm doing, so why are you asking about it?

There won't be no audience when niggas clappin' (niggas clap, niggas clap)
When people start shooting guns, there won't be anyone left to watch.

I ain't into groupies when they actin' (I'm not)
I'm not interested in groupies when they act fake or phony.

I don't put on Gucci 'less it's Dapper (Dapper Dan)
I only wear Gucci if it's designed by Dapper Dan.

Ever since a youngin' I was active (I was active)
I've been involved in criminal activity since I was a kid.

I took a lotta losses you don't know 'bout (you don't know about)
I've experienced many failures and struggles that you don't know about.

A lotta close friends took the ho route (the ho route)
Many of my close friends became prostitutes or 'hos'.

Now I'm all alone with the pole out (.45)
Now I'm by myself with a gun in my hand.

Circle gotta be close when we roll out (gotta be)
My crew has to be tight-knit when we leave the area.

Purple shit that we smoke by the whole ounce
We smoke large quantities of high-quality weed.

The hammers, used to hide 'em in the old couch (old couch)
We used to hide our guns in the old couch.

Skatin' pass a hater like it's "Roll Bounce" (skrr)
I'm driving past a hater in a way that's reminiscent of Roll Bounce, the movie.

Smokin' on some shit I got from Cali, gave my cousin twenty years
I'm smoking some high-quality weed that I got from California, while my cousin is in prison for twenty years.

I just pray the let my Loc out (pray they let me Loc out, free 'em)
I'm praying that my friend gets released from prison.

Shorty wasn't givin' up that ass, said I'm trash
A girl didn't want to have sex with me and called me worthless.

Now I laugh, got me thinkin' who the joke now? (Ha, you bitch)
Now I'm laughing and wondering who the real joke is.

I really found a way to get that bag but I'm thinkin' 'bout my past
I've figured out how to make money, but I'm still haunted by my past experiences.

Couldn't imagine I was broke now (I can't)
I can't believe that I used to be poor.

My auntie in the living room coke'd out
My aunt is in the living room high on cocaine.

Niggas was playin' Madden in the dope house (facts)
People were playing video games in the drug house.

Spend the other fifty on some fashion (drip)
I spend the rest of my money on fashion to look cool.

'Bout my cash money like Juvie
I'm all about making money, like Juvenile.

Niggas seen me in a movie got 'em thinkin' I'm an actor (uh)
People saw me in a movie and now they think I'm an actor.

Shorty actin' bougie, if I tell her
A girl is acting snobbish, but if I tell her to take some drugs out of town, she will do it for me.

Take this work outta town, she gon' do it if I ask her (Greyhound)
If I ask her, she will take drugs to another town for me, probably by bus.

Scared of bein' broke, I just wanna go and cop a Ghost
I'm scared of being poor, so I want to buy a Rolls-Royce Ghost.

And on the plates put "Casper"
I want to put the word 'Casper' on the license plates of my car.

You talkin' 'bout that cake, I can match you (I can match)
If you want to talk about making money, I can match your accomplishments.

You niggas wanna race, I get at you (I get at you)
If you want to compete, I'll challenge you to a race.

Nigga made a million off a mixtape
Someone made a million dollars off of a mixtape.

I'm walkin' in the label, I'm like, "What up with my masters?" (Talk to 'em)
When I'm at the record label, I demand to know what's going on with my master recordings.

Forever puttin' pressure on these niggas
I'm always putting pressure on my competitors.

I've been steppin' on these niggas, and I wasn't with the cappers (I wasn't)
I've been outdoing my competitors, and I didn't have to lie or be fake to do it.

I could show you how to be a crook, I might put it in a book (uh-huh)
I have the knowledge and experience to teach someone how to be a criminal, and I might write a book about it.

That's another chapter (that's another chapter)
That experience is something I can write about in my next book.

I wasn't tryna be just another rapper (just another rapper, I wasn't)
I didn't want to be like all the other rappers.

I went and got my own shit, ain't gotta ask (for nothin')
I worked hard to get my own stuff, and I don't have to rely on anyone.

Spend the other fifty on some fashion
I use the rest of my money on fashion.

Drivin' in the Bentley like I'm 'bout to crash it (we out)
I'm driving my Bentley like I don't care if it crashes, and I'm ready to leave now.

There won't be no audience when niggas clappin' (niggas clap, niggas clap, pow, pow)
When people start shooting guns, there won't be anyone left to watch.

I don't put on Gucci 'less it's Dapper
I only wear Gucci if it's designed by Dapper Dan.
