Party
Dogwood and Dahlia Lyrics

You say you a gangsta, that don’t impress me none
I'm not impressed by your claims of being a gangster

You say you a gangsta, ain’t seen a thing you done
I haven't seen any evidence of your gangsterism

I do it all on myself, I ain’t getting help From no one, from no one
I accomplish everything on my own without any outside assistance

But I know the difference between a man and a herb You frontin like you got it, claim they hittin on your wallet
I know the difference between a real man and a fake, and you're pretending to be wealthy when you're not

Now I ain't stuntin like my daddy, he’s livin with my grammie Used to be a big baller, he's survivin off of gamblin
I'm not trying to live like my father did, who used to be rich but now survives off gambling and lives with my grandmother

And my mommy started working days at the church Finding faith in God 'cause the real world hurts
My mother found solace in working at the church and finding faith in God because the harsh reality of the world hurt her

Mommy on the couch, since she was 42 Sacrificing for the kids, 'cause that’s what mommys do
My mother has been sitting on the couch since she was 42, sacrificing her own comfort for her children

So I smoke my spliff, I spliff it hard Candy says to stop, my voice is getting too harsh
I smoke my marijuana heavily despite my friend Candy telling me to stop because it's affecting my voice

And now I think of you behind bars Cross state lines, they spliffin' good In Miami you catch a charge And the whole family tears apart
I think of you being in prison for crossing state lines with marijuana and how it tears our family apart

And this recession's so depressin My parents don’t stop stressin Just hopin I learned all their lessons
The recession is depressing and my parents are constantly stressing, hoping I've learned from their mistakes

I’m paying for this session And I’m paying rent, food, clothes, phone, christmas presents
I'm paying for this therapy session, as well as all my living expenses and even Christmas presents

No days off baby I ain’t restin I told my sins, now I’m done confessin
I don't take any days off and constantly work, but I've confessed my sins and am finished with that

On way to the top, I make with what I got You want my number baby, I’m on a mission, catch up
I'm on my way to the top with what resources I have, and if you want to be involved, you need to catch up to my mission

Never trust a man 'cause they all hungry Yeah they all hungry
I don't trust men because they are all greedy and only care about themselves

Right when you thought you had me Baby you just lost someone Finally got over you, baby time to move on Never learned your lesson, ain’t even gonna question Why it went so wrong
After breaking up with you and finally moving on, I won't even bother trying to understand why things went wrong between us

You say you a gangsta, that don’t impress me none
Once again, I'm not impressed by your claims of being a gangster

You say you a gangsta, ain’t seen a thing you done
I still haven't seen any evidence of your gangsterism

I do it all on myself, I ain’t getting help From no one, from no one
I continue to accomplish everything on my own without any outside assistance
