Dom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Boys getting industry features
Still not getting in the industry
And they taking my style
Your shit sounds like my old pen to me
Zoom zoom
Zip right past you bye bye
I can tell you watch sci fi
Your raps sound unrealistic
My daughter said what is this shit
And I said did you curse
But godamn baby spitting facts
Go to bed so I can really snap
Snapping like the five heartbeats
You fell off Eddie Kane
Snapping cause I don't remember your name
Replay this you see that I'm going insane
You came out the pandemic the same
I just added BA to my name
You be going three days with the same
You not fly nigga you plain
Threw out the first pitch at Sahlens
It was kinda weak but I made it
2022 get the stage lit
You ok with being complacent
And your bars sound so basic
And you hypin them up like you say shit
Only ones that's gone say that they hate this
Is the ones that can never make a hit
Call you Doug you not funny you flakin
When I'm done with the show I hit Vegas
Hit exposure you know he gone play this
I'm the hottest I just never say shit
Goddamn
If you lying on your verses
Please don't hit my dm for a feature
You don't have a burna boy
You ain't never ever sell a kilometer
Why do you lie about hitting licks
Your verses the only time seeing bricks
My 16s like top 5 feel like Brett Hull with a stanley
My life changed I had a plan b
Back to plan a I got plan b
Got my degree bout to get another one
And level up for my family
Im doing this rap cause it's fun to me
You think it's gonna help cause your funds is weak
I just be chillin and scrollin
I see all the lying you rappers be doing
It's not just the rappers its people who lame
And believe they can really influence
Ima be real I see that you fake
It's ya language you speaking it fluent
Just listen this heavy weight music
Im punching like heavyweights do it
You sound like you sleep your verses is lazy
You posting that people be sleeping on you
Keep dreaming my nigga I ask all my friends if they know you
They always responding like who
Link up with the squad rooftops at the lofts
Look down at the ground I'm stepping on you
Just got a new text I got a new show
It's ten years later, get a new flow nigga
Yea no competition no comparisons
I'm shooting on verses like Bradley Beal
Just stay in your role like the morris twins
I'm playing your shit and I snore again
You just be renting them foreigns
Who you kidding we know you don't own shit
Think it funny you think we don't notice
In my dms cause I'm doing shit
Worry bout your own viewership
I'm juggling school work and the music
You bet it all on rap and you losin
I comment sleeping emojis I'm snoozin
Doing impossible missions I'm cruising
Look at my emails I'm bringing the news in
This summer hop on the mf movement
