Dover Downs

Yeah
Yeah
Delaware to the stratosphere
Made that (Uh huh)

Wish I could keep it short and sweet
Like a haiku (Woah)
But the world's watchin'
So lemme run somethin' by you
Used to hit my line and I'd be incentivized
When we talk I feel like I'm on thin ice
Don't understand how what we had just died (How)
Suppose it just happens with the times
No I can't call on Zoom or DocuSign (Nah)
If paper ain't involved I ain't sign the dotted line (Sign nothing)
Not even cuffed but my hands were tied (They were)
That's what happens when only one of you even tries
Or maybe I projected who I thought you were
Conjured up exactly who I would need
The funny thing is that's someone you couldn't be
Told 'em to put me in the game coach
Ran off and now they encroach
On my success, but that's a misstep
They stay on the bench so they pressed
Not gonna lie sometimes I get stressed
But I keep my thoughts close to my chest
I don't pay much mind on a pest
Treadmill of life keep goin' and I need my rest (Yeah)
I'm just kidding though (Hmm)
Don't put me in a position where I need to survive
Then get mad at me for leaving you behind
The hypocrisy outrageous
This ain't Back to the Future
You can't have you cake and eat it too
Then do it all over again and over and over again
The only Churchill I know is Winston
Tryna bag a stallion or a vixen
I'm not Cruise so it's a possible mission
Not a pilgrim so I ain't settlin' (Yeah)
I'm getting those thighs and the fixings
And it ain't even Thanksgiving
King of Delaware, you more like Brutus
Snake in the grass I seen the motives
Can't trust Dow Jones
And they can't even pay they student loans
Funny thing is I'm barely at Dover Downs
Only went when them fireflies came out
Stadium got bought
I guess everybody got they price
I'll be there but now the talk of the town (I am woah)
I'm not Judge Dredd
But if I'm judgin' your life lookin dreadful
That's just my two cents
And I got the penny for the River Styx
And I know you wish you could reverse things (I know that)
Older generation thinkin' Wa$hington like G-Eazy or Eminem
But I'm not a synonym
Labels calling for meetings
I won't get taken like Liam Neesons (Taken)
Ain't here for the salutations
I've been known to Irish exit (Been known)
Y'all gotta gimme my flowers before I'm dead and gone
Gimme them flowers like Algernon
I'm too humble
I'm the breadwinner
But still doing the dishes
She told me so many fish in the sea
So c'est la vie I'mma sleep with the fishes
World on my back
Handful of blisters
With all the shit you talk
Wouldn't be surprised if you got cold sores
I know it's hard and gonna give ya bubble guts
Sometimes opportunity only knock once
She want my golden ball like we playin' Quidditch
I'm sorry to give you that image
Not something to talk about over dinner
I'm not Ye, so I let her finish
Before I finish and finish again
She ask me what we are I can't answer her
More than friends
More benefits than dental plans
But I can't let her distract me from the master's plan
I gotta handle business 'cause I'm a business man
On the move in a sprinter van
My new tape in they mouth like a tapeworm
Buying crypto apes, wearin' Bape, NFT just for the keepsake
No debate cruisin' like I'm caped
Like the snow she gone flake
On her way to my estate
Gettin' older and the days feelin' shorter
Halfway through 2022 but it feels like a quarter
Haven't even started the bucket list or hittin' quotas
Just wanna enjoy the summer like Finneas and Ferb
But I gotta drop cuz I don't wanna punchin' at work
This the reason I moved to New York (Yeah)
Seen so many get canned
Used to eat my food from a can
Years later showing up at Cannes
Opportunity gone cost in this land (Gone cost)
This ain't a simulation
And they talkin' 'bout inflation (Woah)
Game of life got us all participatin'
No need for a pyramid scheme
I already seen 'em sell they soul
Sometimes just to build a happy home
Can't blame 'em for doing what they're told (Can't blame 'em)
If that's what they wanna do before they old
Before they die and corrode
It ain't my problem
Escaped that box
Now I'm a Scion
But I'd be lying
If I ever stopped trying
My name in lights
My biz on the marquee
Crazy 'cause it used to be a far thing
She got me in her web like Charlotte
And my sister almost married in North Carolina
The house on the prairie she always wanted
Hubby in the army so you know he keep it loaded
My brother say he enjoy our time together
But when I'm home he over at hers
And that only couple times a month
I can't be petty if he in love
Just mentioned it because
Family is never ever ever ever ever enough
This what my grandma was in camp for
Concentration when she focused on a better life
She stayed solid and she earned those stripes (Solid)
Now my parientals passing they time at garage sales
Everything a steal when you got time to kill
Empty nesters so the nest get full
They don't got buyers remorse
'Cause the house paid off of course
So they fill it how they please
Long as when I visit got somewhere to sleep (Mhm)
Lost everything in the blink of an eye
God showing me it ain't mine
So I keep going and I never wait in line
She a material girl so I pay her no mind
This for me and I gotta decide (Gotta decide that)

Once dressed as Dr. Strange for Halloween
Saw all the multiverses
Everything everywhere in between
Panic at the idea that I meet somebody who really ain't me
Did they do it better or worse (Yeah)
I'm the harshest critic
My ego attached to the work if I did it
Some of y'all stayed back
So they stayed basic
Ignorance is bliss so can't face it (Can't)
Just know Wa$hington is going places (I am)
Pat myself on the back
'Cause I know I made it (Yeah)
I know I made it
Woah
Dover Downs
