Take Off
Young D.C. Lyrics

Why they hating on me
I don't understand why people dislike me for being successful.

I hustle hard and I cake up
I work very hard and earn a lot of money.

Young nigga I take charge
As a young man, I take control of my life and make things happen.

I'm gassed up and I take off (Why they hating on me)
I am full of energy and confidence, and I am ready to succeed despite the negativity I face.

My speakers knocking my bass hard
My music is loud and powerful, and it represents my strength and ambition.

My sneakers rock with no lace on
I am unique and confident, and I do not follow the norms of society.

They say you are what you eat and all I eat is MC's
I am a rapper and I consume other rappers with my talent and skill.

And each one of them said they were beasting
Every other rapper claimed to be powerful and successful, but I prove them wrong with my own success.

I see these niggas is scared
I notice that other rappers are intimidated by my talent and success.

How come ya'll wasn't prepared
Other rappers were not ready to compete with me because they underestimated my skills.

Now it's Rush Hour I run Howard
I am moving quickly and powerfully, like a rush hour train or famous basketball player Dwight Howard.

In Baton Rouge I used to Eddie Bauer
I had a different lifestyle in the past, and used to wear Eddie Bauer clothing.

I roll a Bla and I take off
I smoke a blunt of marijuana and it helps me relieve stress and take on challenges.

Learn the rules and then break them
I am confident in knowing the laws and systems of society, but I am also willing to push boundaries and innovate.

That's enough to make society forsake him
My confident and unique approach to life may make society reject me.

But in due time they'll see it's all innovation
Eventually, society will recognize and appreciate my innovative approach to life.

I started from the bottom 3rd world problems
I came from a difficult and impoverished background, but I succeeded despite those challenges.

Fleed to the states then we ran into some poverty
I moved to America to escape poverty, but then encountered financial troubles again.

03 migrated to the YEG
I moved to Edmonton, Alberta in 2003.

Dropped O E N C E took off wit Nasty C
I released a music project called ONCE and collaborated with another rapper named Nasty C.

We in M V P league you're not even P E
We are at the highest level of success and talent, while others are not even close.

Groupies say hehe then whip out my peepee
Women who admire me often make inappropriate sexual advances.

They wanna get needy but only get CDs
Women who want a romantic relationship with me only get music CDs from me.

What a pity damn
It is unfortunate and frustrating for these women and for me.

Bet against me then you a shitty gambler
If someone doubts my success and ability, they are making a foolish bet.

They only breed winners in the City Of Champions
Edmonton is a city that values and supports success and champions.

A savage! I'll leave a nigga pissing in his pants where he stands
I am a fierce and powerful competitor who will defeat my enemies easily and embarrass them greatly.

I'll embarrass him why you think they hating me
I am so powerful and successful that others feel embarrassed and resentful in comparison.

My bass banging my pants sagging
My music is loud and powerful, and my clothing style is relaxed and casual.

Test me and I'm knocking your face off
If someone challenges me or tries to harm me, I will fight back and defeat them.

I'm the shit y'all niggas can't wipe out
I am so talented and powerful that others cannot diminish me or my success.

With your chick my nigga just wilding out
I am partying and having a great time with someone else's girlfriend.

Test my niggas and you know we finna ride out
If someone challenges me or my friends, we will fight back and defend ourselves fiercely.

I'm eye balling the broad that you calling a goddess
I am interested in a woman that you admire and consider beautiful and powerful.

I ball like Spalding
I am incredibly talented and successful, like a famous basketball made by the Spalding company.

They make excuses as to why they ain't as sick as the kid y'all fake hoes
Other rappers cannot match my talent and skill, and they make excuses for their shortcomings.

I swear I'm ruthless so fly I can trip and fall where the roof is
I am extremely confident and powerful, and I am not afraid to take risks or make mistakes.

And the truth is I'm stupid but the groupies give me brain like an A-class student
I may not be very intelligent, but women who admire me provide me with sexual pleasure and satisfaction.

And they make excuses as to why they ain't as sick as the kid y'all fake hoes
Other rappers cannot match my talent and skill, and they make excuses for their shortcomings.

I'm a young nigga, I'm 16 about to murk niggas
As a young rapper, I am confident and powerful, and I will defeat my competitors easily.

Take note while I take off (Why they hating on me)
Pay attention to my success and talent as I continue to achieve great things despite others' negativity and criticism.
