My Hat

from Oh, It's Going by Dave Zup

/

lyrics

Swing it
Move your body side to side right
Listen up

Hey
Phone ringing off 6:30
I left a late late but I’m here early
It’s a lot riding on me cuz a lot ride with me
I never waste my time looking busy
I’m in flux every day blame Ye
The brain gotta work
Mine’s being underpaid
Time clock broke when I punched my luck
I’ma be on my job until the grave plot dug
Like what
How you not wanna do it all
How you not look at the potential when you fall
We live in mad times
Don’t say I did’t warn you
Ohio in December feels like California
Well I got ideas heating up
Everything is interesting
Yeah I mix up
I got a hat for the rap
Got a hat for business
A few coming and a lot more missing
Still

They wanna wear my hat
When I was ten
I was a Hip-Hop shorty-wop
They wanna wear my hat
Known for rocking microphones and twisting off a forty top
Don't tryna wear my hat
Cuz I smartened up
Opened the market up
You couldn't wear hat
Keeping one for yourself looks hard enough

Yo man, this Dave Zup dude just pisses me off man
He does everything

It’s the hour of atonement
I’ma be the home team ref and opponent
I’ma be the murder and the weapon and the motive
My hat dope
I'ma show it
Focus
Notice
How I function like I’m in The Renaissance
Yeah that mean my dome is like The Duomo and the Pentagon
I can break down and reconstruct the way you saw it
I took a job with a desk and a office
Yeah
I’ma make a beat on my lunch break
Yeah
South By Southwest was a pump-fake
Yeah
Did the show then made some software
Yeah
Jordans to my meetings and they all stare
Yeah
I learned ways how to integrate
Balance out every meal on my dinner plate
I could be myself like 100 different ways
Switch the cap then it's on to a different pace

They wanna wear my hat
When I was ten
I was a Hip-Hop shorty-wop
They wanna wear my hat
Known for rocking microphones and twisting off a forty top
Don't tryna wear my hat
Cuz I smartened up
Opened the market up
You couldn't wear hat
Keeping one for yourself looks hard enough

Man I just groove and I do what I do
And I feel like I am cuz I am who I ooh
Yeah

Oh wait...
Huh!
