In an era where rap is dominated by racial, social, and economic minorities, LD decided to put the upper-middle class on his frail, Jewish shoulders. The results have been monumental. His debut mixtape, So Hard, has been categorized as “funny,” and “impressive” by his friends.
On 31st July 2015, Mr. Leftward-Sloping Penis released PROFESSIONAL RAPPER, featuring Snoop Dogg, Fetty Wap, Rich Homie Quan, T-Pain, Jace of Two-9 & brain.
A non-traditional rapper, Lil Dicky uses a mix of comedy, lyrical ingenuity, and self-deprecation to spew out entertaining and relatable content.
When he was 14, he opened up for the R&B group 112 at his overnight camp. He’s been rapping ever since.

Lil Dicky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's about something pretty important to me
And that's you
And that's true
I really wish I didn't care about you anymore
But I do
What do I do when the rap-life
Make a young couple do something sad like
Being broke up even though we had life
Fuck it, I don't even know what I could of done
Looking back thinking "That's what I should of done"
Wanted you back
But when the fact is I always put you second to rap
I'm not mad that you wouldn't come
And even though I had to move, I ain't move on
Really wish you was a boo I could prove wrong
But she knows what I'mma do with the new songs
And she know them pretty soon when your dude on
Running the rap game, with that lane
Always got to be up on that train, or that plane
Ain't nobody wanna feel that pain, or that strain
Wishing I ain't gotta get that fame
Or I'd claim you, know I'd give you my last name
But that blame on me
Chasing something, feeling dumb 'cause you all I need
Hope you wait until I'm done and I'm all free
But you know I'm never knowing when that's gonna be
And I'm sorry
It's the hardest road to follow (I'm thinking of you)
I really wish that I could call you (What can I do?)
You can find another me tomorrow
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, babe
If I woke up and I called it quits ('cause I'm thinking of you)
If today I gave up all of this (I don't know what to do)
Maybe I could get you back tomorrow
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, baby
And that's you
And that's true
I really wish I didn't care about you anymore
But I do
What do I do when the rap-life
Make a motherfucker choose up in that fight?
Make a young couple do something sad like
Being broke up even though we had life
When I'm being dumb and stupid
Who the fuck is gonna hit me with the motherfucking jerk face?
Who's gonna let me know to hit my mother on her birthday?
Who's gonna let me know when I be shopping if a shirt's gay?
And when I'm on the road I be missing that
Always looking at my phone, you would give me crap
Ever since I've been alone I've been thinking back
Listening to you auto-tune in my mic phone making us laugh
You know the past was a blast but it never could last
Pretty sad when your love got a separate path
Used to read when there's nothing to do
But it's funny
Doing nothing's never nothing when it's something with you
You know I wanna still talk, even text and call
Whenever something going on I be pressing "Moll"
Up in the phone til I press the X
Stressed the next one'll best the ex
And you'll forget, but it's best
You the best to me girl, always bake me something
And when they ripped off, you replaced my buttons
But don't be pissed off if I hate your husband
'Cause even when I can't say "Love you"
I love you
It's the hardest road to follow (I'm thinking of you)
I really wish that I could call you (What can I do?)
You can find another me tomorrow,
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, babe
If I woke up and I called it quits ('cause I'm thinking of you)
If today I gave up all of this (I don't know what to do)
Maybe I could get you back tomorrow
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, baby
And that's you
And that's true
I really wish I didn't care about you anymore
But I do
What do I do when the rap-life
Make a motherfucker choose up in that fight?
Make a young couple do something sad like
Being broke up even though we had life
It's the hardest road to follow (I'm thinking of you)
I really wish that I could call you (What can I do?)
You can find another me tomorrow
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, babe
If I woke up and I called it quits ('cause I'm thinking of you)
If today I gave up all of this (I don't know what to do)
Maybe I could get you back tomorrow
And that's the hardest pill to swallow, baby
The lyrics of Lil Dicky's "Molly" discusses the difficulties of maintaining a relationship while trying to pursue a career in rap. The song expresses regret from a lover's perspective of not having put his lover first, choosing music over them. Though the lyrics are emotional and sentimental, it is delivered in a humorous way. The song represents Lil Dicky's more serious and emotional side compared to his typically comedic raps.
The chorus repeats the phrase "It's the hardest pill to swallow" as Lil Dicky tries to comprehend the breakup with his girlfriend. He admits to missing her and wishes he could tell her, but he also understands that pursuing fame and his rap career has made him put his girlfriend second. He compares his fame to a drug addiction, something he cannot leave even though there are consequences.
Throughout the verses, he reminisces about the memories they shared together and how much he misses her. He also points out how his girlfriend had been supportive of his work and how helpful she was, even though he did not give her the attention he should have.

@Vincent12
8 years ago, on the first day of college, I met this girl at freshman orientation in Oregon. I was instantly attracted to her from the first moment I laid eyes on her. She was gorgeous. We quickly became good friends and had a really solid friend group. We all would hangout and spend time together every chance we could. We were both busy a lot because she was on the volleyball team and I was on the baseball team. Sports took up a lot of our time but we still spent a lot of time together. I was in the tail end of a relationship from high school but it was clear that it was coming to an end soon. One night, she told me that she had feelings for me and I remember being extremely shocked, happy, and disappointed. Shocked, because I never thought she would be into someone like me. Happy, because it made me realize these feelings that I have been keeping locked away since we first me. And disappointed because I was getting ready to end a relationship and knew I wasn’t in a place to date. I never told her about my feelings, out of respect for my relationship that was coming to an end. We ended up breaking up very shortly after that which was going to happen regardless of if she confessed her feelings for me or not. Not long after my break up, she met another guy at our school and they began talking. I wanted to be supportive and knew she was worth the wait so we just stayed friends. However, talking turned into dating and they became pretty serious. They ended up dating for about 7 years until they split up recently.
A lot has happened since then, I ended up transferring schools and we slowly stopped staying in touch. She ended up moving to Kansas City to be a high school math teacher and I stayed in Oregon and became a pilot.
The whole time they were in a relationship, I never was in one myself. I couldn’t find anybody that gave me the feeling that she did. My heart says finally tell her how you feel, take a chance, and go for her. But my head says don’t, it’s been too long, she lives on the other side of the country and she doesn’t feel that way anymore. I really really hope that there’s a chance for us, but it just doesn’t seem like the universe will give us a chance.
My advice to anyone reading this that has feelings for someone else but is too afraid to tell them how you really feel, is just go for it. Time moves quick, and you don’t want to end up like me, wishing you took a chance and did something differently.
Suffer the pain of putting yourself out there now, or regret later. And trust me, the pain of regret last much, much longer.
With Love,
Jake

I remember listening to this being in so such a comfy relationship, thinking how thats some hard shit. Now I just got home from a night drinking with my buddies, made some ramen noodles, alone in my apartment, finding myself in the same position… but life moves so fast. Its life, people come and go. All you can do is move on and wish them the best. Its gonna be okay.
