Fresh off of his breakthrough performance on BET's 106&Park where he captured the nations attention with "Top Knotch Steez" 19 year old Dizzy D Flashy is a lyrical phenomenon and one of the hottest up and coming HipHop talents to anticipate. Based in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, Dizzy has managed to use the city as a platform to launch his career and has already been stirring up all sorts of action.
No stranger to entertainment, Dizzy began his career at the age of ten as a youth reporter interviewing major celebrities such as Nelly, Jessica Simpson, Magic Johnson, & Boys II Men with his younger brother K.J. The young brothers began recording songs and before they knew it were asked to perform at high profile events such as Magic Johnson's Mid Summer Nights Mardi Gras where they made their first performance on the same stage as B2K. Not long after, R & B singer turned actor, Tyrese called them up on the stage during a photo OP at the 3rd Annual BET Awards in Los Angeles and introduced them to the media as DaFuture. The brothers really liked that name and decided that’s what they would be called from that point on.
Under the direction and guidance of their Uncle Layzie Bone, of the multi-platinum rap group Bone thugs-n-harmony the two brothers recorded many songs including one featuring Cassidy while working in the studio with Swizz Beatz. However, reality was beginning to set in as their mom simply could not afford to put anymore money into their young careers. As a result of Dizzy’s family financial problems, the teenagers of a single mom were forced to focus on school and give music a temporary rest. Dizzy calls this his inspiration for the song “Dreams on Hold”. In total DaFuture won three awards in three years (2005, 2006 & 2007) at the annual Las Vegas Music Awards including "Best Hip-Hop Group".
Now, almost two years later Dizzy has stepped out on his own as a solo performer. He’s been grinding in the studio almost everyday after school working on songs for his debut album. While in pursuit of the right major situation he plans to spread positive energy through his music. Hopefully allowing people to not only groove to his songs but be able to understand his young perception of life through his eyes with his dynamic and crystal clear ability to flow in a variety of styles to a variety of speaker bumping beats. “I’ve learned the hard way that you can be the coolest kid on the block and still have a good head on your shoulders; education is the key to the future, it’s important no matter what career you are pursuing,” exclaims the young entertainer.
Over the years Dizzy has been in the studio with many major recording artist and producers and has had the pleasure to work with many. Even though he is a hip-hop artist, he’s worked with R & B producers that have produced hit records for Missy Elliott, Alicia Keys, Destiny's Child, Mario and many, many more. Dizzy is sure to be right there among some of today’s hottest young entertainers that go straight for the top. He has his own swag and he prolifically displays this on his debut single "Swagg It Out" which is beginning to create a major buzz in his hometown of Las Vegas.
Can
Dizzy Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to complain about not having shoes, until I seen a man with no feet
Now I feel rich
Money don't make me who I am I never looked down on someone that need a lift
Kindness is a gift
Kinda can smell success, I'm just, I'm just trying to get a whiff
You could say that I'm glad that I had me a childhood (Why's that?)
'Cause now I'm living out my dreams
By any means necessary
Rhyming all that's left in you
Better love the ones next to you
I see a lot of young niggas looking for a sex symbol
Technology is taking over
Feed off these real vibes as you make it older
Young soldier, we all gotta grow
And when you think that you got life figured all out, you realize how much you don't know
Look, after Moms threw me out on the curb
Back when the vibes was louder than words
Yo, I told myself I was gon' get it and god is my witness
My focus was how to be heard
Now I'm here, I see the smiles and tears
I hope this live for a thousand years (It will)
True leaders create more leaders, so tell them haters they ain't never gonna be allowed in here
'Cause we characterize (We characterize)
People by actions I see when I stare in your eyes
Forever surprised (Why)
See, everything better whenever I'm high
Break it down
I wanna let out all my frustrations
But I ask myself can I feel this way
Ay, ay, ay, ay (Ay, ay, ay)
Can I feel this way?
Is it wrong that I feel this way?
Can I feel this way?
Because
Look, I don't know y'all trying to be
I'm creating my dynasty
Inspire these kids every time I speak (Yo)
I guess they believing us
Like Martin when they tried to black out the black folks and white America mistreated us
My momma said "too bad they needed us"
It's only one race and that's the human race
So that's what I plan to teach my kids
Respond to these fools with silence
As I'm giving y'all the growing process
You can tell me what's next
I ain't heard nothing like it
(How you gon' remember me?)
From living in positive energy without ever having a doubt?
Or praying for my enemies, [?] by the hate
'Cause I ain't never take the easy way out
S'till I pray
Can I feel this way, Lord tell me can I feel this way
Real man always trying to make a play, just a thought
Got me working at my craft every day
[?]
W-w-w-wake up, get right, look in the mirror and I hope you see yourself
I honestly don't want you to be like me
I wanna, inspire you to go and be yourself
We call that love and awareness
The shit that you get for free but don't cherish
Y-you have a beautiful soul, it's no reason to be so embarassed
'Cause we just gon' characterize
These people by actions I see when I stare in your eyes
Forever surprised
See, everything better whenever I'm high
And right now

However, he emphasizes the importance of remaining open-minded and continuing to learn from our experiences. This is summed up in the line "And when you think that you got life figured all out, you realize how much you don't know." Ultimately, "Can" is a song about personal growth, self-discovery, and the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of the many challenges that life presents.

Can I feel this way?

I'm creating my dynasty
Inspire these kids every time I speak (Yo)

Reflecting on Martin Luther King Jr.'s struggles and my own family's experiences with racism, I believe in the unity of all people and will teach my children accordingly
Respond to these fools with silence

Love and self-awareness are the most valuable things, yet often undervalued. Don't be ashamed of your beauty, and let's continue to judge people by their character, and not let negativity or judgment bring us down.

@C MGK was rlly good back then though. Have you ever listened to his Lace Up album he dropped ten years ago? Then Black Flag he dropped a year later. I liked both of those albums. I even really liked his General Admission album in 2015. MGK was the shit back then.
