David and Devine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what you're hear for tell me
What you want just be clear
Tell me what you're hear for tell me
Mmm i wanna know, oh i wanna know what's next
I think the pen possessed me, the pen possessed
The pen possessed me, the pen possessed me
What kind of vibe are we on today? Oh yea that's right
I can shape up any place that's why I rap congruently
Fluently I usually spit fluidly so groove with me
Who can be the newest beast on lucid beats, look at me
Skip the hate like truancy, this ain't nothing new to me
You never heard my flow before, now you know it
And every verse is causing hurt, I have no emotion
Always keep them posted you be on some hoe shit
You niggas just hopeless broken, I say

I wanna know what's next am I supposed to
Host a whole show to flex, I'm thinking so
But I'm so obsessed i think the pen possessed me
Ain't heard of bed i got no time for resting man

And if you didn't know I'm sicker than your average pathogen
The mass don't want it, the last verse spreading
A mask wont help when infections comin
Ask me nothing, attack your lungs
Immune to hate, who's to say that they can play with crazy Dave
so vaccinate so you can stay
Tell me what you're here for, tell me
What you want just be clear
I can show a world where there's nothing to fear
If you don't believe me just follow me dear
When everybody knows I'm the baddest kid its over
The game mine, I can sodomize the rhyme scheme
Fuck your blatant lies, have you thinking suicide
Cause with me its do or die, you ain't leaving here alive B
My sound got them vibing
Dreadlocks like a Viking
You don't need no no viseme to see me
Climbing the top, like I'm hiking
I'll be sightseeing
But don't be blaming me the pen possessed me like

I wanna know what's next am I supposed to
Host a whole show to flex, I'm thinking so
But I'm so obsessed I think the pen possessed me
Ain't heard of bed, I got no time for resting man
I wanna know what's next am I supposed to
Host a whole show to flex, I'm thinking so
But I'm so obsessed I think the pen possessed me
Ain't heard of bed, I got no time for resting man

I wanna know what's next
I wanna know what's next
Think the pen possessed me, the pen possessed me




The pen possessed me, the pen possessed me
The pen possessed me yea
