Dope
Royce Da 5´9 Lyrics

I been waiting in this bitch driveway for an hour my nigga, hell no
I have been waiting in this person's driveway for a long time and I am frustrated.

There's only one way I can fix this problem my nigga, that's sell dope
The only way I know how to solve this issue is by selling drugs.

I ain't come in this bitch to politic or rub elbows
I did not come here to make connections or socialize.

Even my own bitch know I'm mentally unavailable, I'm busy, I sell dope
Even my significant other knows that I am always preoccupied with selling drugs and unavailable.

I'm focused, I'm focused, I'm focused on three things
I am very determined and focused on three specific things.

That's go and buy three chains, that's fuck your bitch at my earliest convenience and sell dope
My main priorities are buying expensive jewelry, having sex with your significant other as soon as possible, and selling drugs.

When I'm with her she creeping on you, when I hit it I hit it with my phone on speaker phone
When I am with your significant other, she is being unfaithful to you and I record our sexual activities with my phone's speakerphone on.

While she's moaning I'm still tryna, tryna sell dope
Even while she is moaning, I am still focused on selling drugs.

My teacher asked me what I wanna do when I grow up, I told her "Bitch, sell dope"
When my teacher asked me about my future plans, I disrespectfully told her that I want to sell drugs.

She told me go to the principle's office, I went to go sell dope
When my teacher sent me to the principal's office, I did not comply - instead, I went to sell drugs.

I don't care about y'all, what y'all wear, where y'all been
I do not give a damn about anyone, what they are wearing or where they have been.

All I know is I'm fresh as fuck from head to toe
All I care about is that I look really good from head to toe.

If you don't like it you can get the fuck out my car
If you do not like the way I look or the way I act, you can leave my car immediately.

Go over there somewhere over there [?] ( you rude)
Go find a place far away from me and leave me alone.

And when you see that bum make sure you tell him I said that I sell dope
When you see that homeless person, let him know that I am a drug dealer.

For all the times I was dead broke
Because I was once extremely poor and struggling.

Speaking of dead, when I die, I swear I'mma try
Talking about death, but still expressing my desire to try selling drugs even in the afterlife.

There's no other life out here I know
There is no other lifestyle that I am familiar with.

So I guess I should Sell dope
Therefore, I will continue to sell drugs.

The nights are long and cold
The nights are dark and lonely.

But out here on these streets you'd swear I had pure gold
On the streets, it looks like I am very wealthy and have valuable possessions.

In my hands I hold your hope
I hold the hope that people have for a better tomorrow in their hands, but I only use it for my own gain.

This bitch told me I can't get them digits my nigga, my nigga, aw hell no
A woman refused to give me her phone number, and I am extremely angry and frustrated.

It's only one way I'mma fix this my nigga, that's sell dope
Once again, the only solution I know is to sell drugs.

A fan asked me for a picture, I squatted down for a jail pose
A fan requested a picture with me, and I posed as if I were in jail.

Then I dashed before the flash could finish, I forgot I had to go sell dope
I quickly left before the picture was taken, because I realized I needed to sell drugs.

What news you got, if it ain't about selling dope, I can't take it
I am not interested in hearing any news that is not related to my drug dealing.

The doctor gave me five months to live, I told her "Nigga, I can't make it"
When the doctor informed me of my short life expectancy, I promptly told them that I would not be able to live without selling drugs.

Tell whoever set my expiring date I had a prior engagement to sell dope
When I die, let whoever decided when I would die know that I had to prioritize selling drugs over everything else.

That's why I'm in every discussion, I could sell a whale a bucket
I involve myself in every conversation because I am so skilled at selling things that I could even sell a bucket to a whale.

Of well water, I could sell Harriot Tubman a mothafuckin' railroad
I feel so confident in my abilities that I believe I could even sell something to a renowned historical figure like Harriet Tubman.

I'm the flower with the thorn rising out the concrete, y'all just born on Melrose
I am like a beautiful flower that has grown out of the concrete in the rough area I live in, whereas others are just average people living their lives on Melrose Avenue.

I stay strapped, I stay strapped like velcro
I carry a weapon and am well-prepared for any situation that may arise.

When I meet new people I introduce myself as "I sell dope"
When I introduce myself to people, the first thing I tell them is that I am a drug dealer.

I just had a job interview, they asked if I ever been to jail before
At a recent job interview, I was asked if I had any prior convictions and my answer was 'yes.'

I said "Yes" then I got up and left, like fuck this shit I'mma sell dope
After admitting that I had been to jail, I left the interview, deciding to return to my drug dealing instead.

America, America, God shed His grace on thee
From this point on, the subject matter switches and the song expresses a patriotic sentiment.

America, America, when will we all be free?
The song questions when we will all be free as a society.
