The Wire
David Dallas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ohh, ohh, ohh

Easy what you want could be another thing
it is the power of it’s all.

Easy what you’ve got one minute it is here
And then another it is gone.
Oh!

And higher, and higher
I’m going out in
The wire, the wire
Is growing and buried in
And you can call it
But I never gonna won’t let leave
The wire, the wire
Though it’s giving out for me.

It’s time to knock em down, it’s time to run around
Acting crazy it’s real, nothing from daisy
I’m .. ghost, I’m trying think, that’s so f*cking crazy the most,
It’s keeping kids and that I’m at nature, the most
So will be playing thanks down, we’ll be making jokes,
In case we choke rather make out all out while we did try,
We better shamed that we built a plane and then fly
Living lies man if only we can live and live,
Am I not be the great but it’s good in the middle
And made the chess stars but the work that I live
And if you did it from the heart know the Lord forgive em
May nobody for bitches, from this first step,
On the high ride we can be the worst yet,
And be your best now I’m runnin’ once or twice,
Know I’m on it .. my death, know I feel and keep it ..
I’m sustaining on the edge.

Easy what you want could be another thing
it is the power of it’s all.

Easy what you’ve got one minute it is here
And then another it is gone
Oh!

And higher, and higher
I’m going out in
The wire, the wire
Is growing and buried in
And you can call it
But I never gonna won’t let leave
The wire, the wire
Though it’s giving out for me.

Yeah I track it to this life,
All of the side of it,
And what it seems still I wanna be a part of it
And I carry some skies from it,
You never know if you can carry a film
And if you never been the star of it
For the couple .. I’m going for he asking ..
Thought I’d be happy with that .. and you got it wrong,
I had to leave em behind, although we got em long
As the trains even today you even ruffle wrong
Don’t know if I got em wrong, I live .. it up
Play some good defense and stick ..
Best shape of my life, I’m sick if it thug
Ain’t upon me stay .. I bought tickets dough
And I conq with the show,
though I know it’s such a long way down but such a long way be now




that I forgot who I used to be, I’m doing this
is the only thing that’s true and me me

Not ashamed to say I have cried to this song. I am a 30 year old bloke, on the otherside of the planet. DD is a powerful lyricist. Complete word smith. One of the greatest rappers out of the last decade in my book.... or should I say play list

@montagistreel

Man I am a dude born and bred in the NYC area. I'm not the hardest but I've literally been hearing hip hop since birth. I'm nearly 40. I cry to this song for sure.
