Dive
Social Club Misfits Lyrics

No control, no remote
I lack control in my life and feel like I'm drifting aimlessly.

I go fishing for the hope
I search for glimmers of hope in my life.

Michael Phelps with the stroke
I'm determined to reach my goals and I'm focused on achieving them like Michael Phelps with his swimming stroke.

Cast the line and then I'll go
I put in the work to achieve my dreams and then move on to the next step.

Dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive
I'm relentless in my pursuit of success and will keep diving in until I reach my goals.

We slide
We're able to overcome obstacles and slide past them.

Squad up for the cameras
We've gained fame and everyone wants to be a part of our squad now.

Tour bus was a Camry
We started from humble beginnings, even touring in a Camry at one point.

Came up from the bandos
We rose up from the slums and difficult circumstances.

Hotel was a front seat
We've had to make do with meager accommodations at times.

Never had a plan B
We never considered a backup plan, but were laser-focused on our music careers.

Had the venues gettin' wild
We've had great success performing in live venues and the crowds have been enthusiastic.

No politics had the labels all convinced
We've stayed true to our sound and haven't compromised for the sake of pleasing record labels.

Asking us about the sound
Record labels are curious about our unique sound.

I wanted to talk about God, woah
We value spirituality and are not afraid to incorporate it into our music.

4 a.m. rapping at bars, woah
We've put in long hours, practicing and perfecting our craft.

Nobody wanted my spot, woah
We've had to work hard to gain acceptance in the music industry.

30 a month was a lot
We didn't come from wealthy backgrounds and had to be economical.

Still moving like we independent
We've retained our independence and don't let the music industry control us.

If you so anti-social, why you in our mentions?
We've gained a lot of attention and success, and now people who previously ignored us are paying attention.

It's a gang, it's a gang
We're united as a group and work together like a gang.

I stood next to all your favorite rappers
We've earned respect in the industry and have performed alongside other successful rappers.

I ain't ask for no pictures
We're not looking for attention or adoration from fans.

Never asked for no handouts, or some "can we get wit'cha?"
We've earned our success through hard work and aren't interested in accepting favors or handouts.

We made it look easy, but the fact remains
Our success looks effortless, but it's taken a lot of hard work to achieve.

This right here is so special
Our success has a deeper meaning for us than just fame and fortune.

Had a few of y'all come tell us
Fans have reached out to us to share their love and support.

Had a few of y'all really pray for us
People have prayed for our success and well-being.

When you said you would and that blessed us
People who have supported us and followed through with their promises have truly blessed us.

Hold up, wait
We have something important to say.

I ain't ever seen any competition
We don't see other artists as competitors - we're all in this together.

We do all numbers, still no pressure
We've been successful in terms of record sales, but the pressure to succeed remains.

I'm still on my God bless ya
We're grateful for our success and see it as a blessing from God.

Put a prayer on your head, bless up
We're wishing success and blessing for others, too.

Since Wayne had the Compressor
We've been influenced and inspired by other artists, including Lil Wayne.

Or 25 lighters on the dresser
We've been inspired by other artists' music, including DJ DMD's song "25 Lighters."

And we came from the dirt, from the bottom, the muscle, whatever you call it
We've worked hard to become successful despite coming from difficult circumstances.

Just know it was God whenever you discuss it
We attribute our success to a higher power and see it as a blessing.

My life like a book, opened up to the public
Our personal lives and struggles are on display for the world, like a book that's been opened up.

I love it, you know!
Despite the challenges, we love what we do and are grateful for our success.
