DumbShit 02:40
Murder everything you love, including what I care about I call this rhyme therapy, trying to get the lyrics out Then call me Ron Jeremy, my dick is all i hear about Shits crazy, whiling out, word up better clear a route Ya boy on that murder murder, I don't even own a burner I just know the words to hurt, fighting all my primaly urges I ain't a violent person, but I keep the fire burning I speak of higher learning, yet believe my minds a burden I keep on working, I'm self absorbed, self important I'm self-destructive, fuck it, I'm fucking self reporting It's all skewed by the views I spew, I'm self talking helping myself threw, warn myself and self caution this self loathing is getting old, so I'm moving past it my mood can drastically change, I'm such a loose cannon I might lose assets, but I'm used to doing bad shit when I say on the mic is stupid dumb and true passion I'm on some dumb shit, I'm on some fun shit I'm on some dumb shit, I'm on some fun shit I'm on some dumb shit, I'm on some fun shit Dave Do What Dave Does, & I don't give a fuck yet My whole steez is money, guarantee it's worth the price Watch me kill a beat, kill my dream, and burst the pipe God hates me, I'm crazy enough to curse at christ But he don't' present himself, yea must be the worried type I don't blame em, I'm fucking slaying every word I write I'm bizzerk on mics & do dumb shit that hurts my wife That's a whole lot of truth, and maybe off topic too My mind racing, pacing like I'm high on rocket fuel Smell the toxics fumes, I'm shitting on the industry, Self defined, confine my self, inside this misery Social IsolationsTryin to find an epiphany, Vocal vibration, kicking rhymes till I'm history I'm manic, panicky, heart filled with anarchy somehow got obsessed with drunk sex apparently I love to feel good but who wouldn't love my character I guess I'm too gluttonous, lustful, and arrogant

I'm rising to the top, I'm applying what I got I got vital crops and I'm grinding on the block Never take a day off, they say I get that from my pops Hard work on my terms, with or without getting props I'm the village idiot who diligently save the day The revolutionary mind on militant display They don't recognize my genus, say i'm silly & I'm cray But i'm resilient and I'm building every single day Step by step, piece by piece, and brick by brick an empire in my name, i'll establish it With desire in my brain, I'll catapult to bliss Fuck the industry for trying to blacklist the kid Single handedly, overcome any type of struggle My voice godlike, dog i'm the wrong type to muzzle Born righteous, live humble, and I fight with knuckles Hardbody rap, matter fact, tight as muscle Hook Birth of an empire, building of a nation Destroy than rebuild, kill then recreation I'm taking whats mine, I'm claiming what I earned pound my fist in the ground, and I'm break up the earth Best chance to rebuild is when devastation occurs Cryptic language, anguish, self deprivation then rebirth Either disturb the comfortable, or comfort the disturbed I stay making plays, savor my hunger and thirst Proactive when I'm rapping, I'm coming with a surge An electrifying vibe, I'm so money on a verse I'm funny and a perv, but know when to focus in Sunshine and success, look at me and just soak it in Heroin overdose, ain't even as dope as him Dave Z the Mic Control, the reason the globe can spin Is it a god complex or the burden of a messiah overthrow Hell on earth, and i'm working through the fire no matter what, I'm smug, smirking wtih desire Watch the world burn, then give birth to an empire Hook

Sense of War 03:11
Trying to stay alive, survival of the fittest Rhyming till I die, arrival of the illest Wars a game we play, a primal business So many people slain, tribal rivals pillaged Village of the damned, a land of deep deception Only truth I uncover, what I speak on records And I don't trust a soul, I don't have deep connection I only have free will, and the will of free expression I will keep aggression, I will hold my own And all I really ever known was the microphone word play breath control, and a restless soul work all day, no play make dave, obsess and stow I'm ready for eruption, deadly on percussion the war drums sounds, and it's end of the discussion loving the destruction, steady on dysfunction Reap what you sew, so what, fuck the repercussions I must be evil, fuck it I love the sense of war I'm addicted to the pain n the hell that we endure We love to see the drama, hope I live to see some more Every day another battle, we love the sense of war Fighting over nothin, a battle of the wits Striking em with substance, rap is what you did Hip hop is what live, n I'm backin up this bitch I never need ammo, tap em with my fist Love debris, destruction, I could fuck up my life I could fuck up yours twice, over nothin but spite I'm unstoppable despite, every obsticle in sight I'm brolic on the mic, I'm impossible to like, Gotta fuckin love or loathe me, blow up the enemy Corporations dont invest in me, so no one can sensor me Deadly with my melody, I mentally excel on beat Guns shooting, bomb nuking, its all good and well to me My flow sweltering, hell to me is fuckin frigid I'm schorching, more importantly bucking at the privileged Fuck external threats, lets keep war in our class Embrace anarchy, and scream fuck the aftermath (Hook repeats)

Free Ya Soul 02:24
I'm airing out my drama, but I'm my biggest problem It's all revolving around, my fear I'll be forgotten I'm scared I'm not that awesome, and here my only option Drown myself or bring my peers down w me to the bottom I'm so obnoxious, to prevent myself from seeming fragile Angels and demons are beefing and it's an even battle Most the people I love, have never even seen my rattle I keep a mask, a front, that only keeps me shackled I'm a slave to my brain, my age is creeping on me I cant predict the future, will my ways be what haunts me When I ain't fucking things, I do the best I can What can I tell her except, accept I'm jus a man I'm just flawed being, drunk on the floor screaming Pissed off at the world, what's more I'm so distraught even Don't know what I'm needing, but feels like my thoughts bleeding Logic escaping me, baby I've lost all reason Don't know what I'm escaping, I only know the basement I know I laugh at fate, and hate I'm homosapien I'm inherently flawed, never stood a chance at this I want what I can't have, get mad I can't handle it I'm in love with my id, I'm impulsive n needy N blame society for being repulsive n greedy Hate to admit my mind is compulsively sleazy I'm an asshole on the down low totally sneaky I blame others, shame others, never own my issue Never allow myself to cry, never owned a tissue twenty eight & afraid someday no onell miss you Try to have substance, but judgment controls and hits you I wasted time criticizing, deny I was the fool Always think I was so cool, and I was the truth But I'm average it kills me, yea I'm nothing new I can't escape it, it's no one fault but it's true Release my inner demons, n trying to find some freedom I'm trying to free my soul and find some deeper meaning

Just Chillin I'm just chillin on a Sunday afternoon I'm just chillin on a Sunday afternoon Tryna to find the right rhyme to capture the mood I'm just chillin on em, I'm just chillin on em I'm chill, calm, real suave, when I do what i do I'm king kong, real large, and belong in zoo Scratch my balls, watch the game, have a couple of brews Writing rhymes to past time, while I munch on some food Kick my feet up on the couch, best believe I'm a slouch Ain't a damn thing to do that's worth leaving the house I'll just bask in my filth, but I ain't even a grouch I'm smiling, vibing pick a beat and kick it loud And I don't need a topic, I just speak n be honest Too lazy to think deep or reach into my conscious I ain't showered all day, probably reek of toxins I'll pour one scotch on the rock, just to keep me boppin Dave Z hip hopping, and dropping these hits Ain't rhymed in six minutes now I'm chomping at the bit Go to the bathroom, shit, and then I'm poppin a zit That got more personality, then most these pop rap kids I'm just chillin out maxin' and relaxing all cool Drank the night away, now piss away the afternoon Let the day slip away, but captured it in this tune Ain't a care on my mind, I'm just acting a fool ayo Dave is the best, n today I'm gon rest Brush my teeth, clean the scent of jäger off my breath I ain't depressed, I'm but yes this is a mental health day We're i sit back relax, without a sense of dismay Don't care what's going on around me, it not my biz Eaten a bowl cereal and watching rocky six They say I'm lazy, yeah cant say it better myself Could probably read or research or try to better my self But it stays on the shelf, I just sit sippin some booze prepare for Monday morning when I'm hitting that snooze It's here before I know it, damn the hours just fly On a Sunday afternoon, of just chillin to rhymes

Me Myself and I Only truth I ever known was me myself and I Gotta read between the lies, gotta keep a keen eye People scheming, always fiending for a piece of the pie I'm just dreaming for relief, while I'm keeping my pride Self respect nothin less, never mess with my soul Check the rep, every step, I reflect is my own Every breathe, that I breathe, ever second I flow I expect, a real test, to protect what I know Never stressed never choke, I am calm collected I am stronger than a damn Barry Bonds injection Except more authentic, yo I'm on that next shit Relentless, no man can deflect my complexness my foes have a death wish, yes this bombastic Braggadocio flow, better yet it's fantastic I'm classic, original, who me be sarcastic Dave Z the only dude, I will rep till the casket Me, Myself, and I. I believe I can rise Keep my eyes on the prize, put my pride on the line I will ride till I die, I will strive, I will thrive I will find ways to climb, me myself and I Say I'm narcissistic, claim that I'm pretentious. Yet my name is hardly mentioned, I don't need attention, The game don't need me and I don't need convention All I need is myself, and I can lead dissension Rebel against the standard, demand more variance Always contrarian, modern day barbarian Check my experience, peruse my resume wrote an album in three days, dude is insane I'm up late making hits, instead of drunk chasing chicks Lock myself in the booth, I love taking risks Then I'm breaking my fist, punching and jabbing I'm self absorbed but not the one stunting and bragging These emcees is has-beens, when I bring the ratchet My verbiage is vivid, my writtens is graphic God damn I am savage, wifey thinks I'm an addict, I'm drunk all the time, damn right I'm a bad kid

Let It Be 04:07
Let It Be I love the people that surround and I'm proud to be here 'nother ballad for the profound, no doubts no tears Overcoming adversity, I will challenge fear I will try to be more open, find a balance yea Got my head on straight, and I replaced the angst I sent out mad love and I gave out thanks I got a house, car, job and savings in the banks I got charm, good looks, and the grace of a tank Ayo Dave is a Yank, NorthEast my home I appreciate my friends, and endorse my foes Hating on me make me greater and more control Set my dreams to achieve and then record my goals Life ain't easy, is sleazy, it's grimy and gritty But never stop smiling, when the grind is shitty The result is worthwhile so endure this me Fallibility's sexy, and you're flaws are pretty Trying to be a better man, and to keep with the plan Love the way we came up, love to reach for her hand Let gets away together, put our feet in the sand And all the love in my heart is the reason I rant I want my people to succeed I fully support you I ain't perfect, I worry, I'm mulling my morals When push comes to shove, I'm the one pulling for you on the brink of destruction, when you make me immortal It's hard work, dedication, gotta working on myself But heaven on earth is worth it, if u going thru hell Deep seeded demons on the surface and no can tell Doubts creep in, but reach down and show yourself, Life ain't easy, is sleazy, it's grimy and gritty But never stop smiling, when the grind is shitty The result is worthwhile so endure this me Fallibility's sexy, and you're flaws are pretty
