Segue into the personal life of DEF davyne...

lyrics

Mind molded, attracting track synergy
Rhymes loaded with rap passionate energy
Lines quoted with fact-enhanced imagery
Blindfolded, the black statue of liberty

Waka walk in my shoes, lil homey from the Poc
I was Section 8 raised, how you know we been broke
Just a nerd with my words, tryna grow up with the locs
Tryna pull the gangsta out me, had to hold it like a rope
Moving every 9 months, like a baby out the womb
Tryna sweep me under the rug, but couldn’t shake me out the broom
With my headphones on, tryna take me out me my room
I’ll be married to my music, till the day that I’ma groom
When my daddy left home, momma moved us from the hood
And I couldn’t hate her for it, she was doing it for good
But Cali was still inside me, like a moose up in the woods
And it’s hard to have a happy home when you misunderstood
Still I did what I gotta, moved out, 16
20 dollars to my name, but I had big dreams
Captain of my own ship, even if my ship sinks
I’ll be in it, till I’m finished, and that fat, bitch sings
{Bitch sing…}

“These are the scales of…
A broken Libra”

Nearly 30 years old, ain’t a damn thang changed
Tryna run from my problems like a track meet game
But my knees hurt from praying, and my ham string’s strained
Probably why I gave my baby boy an athlete’s name
Old skool, game genie, but I can’t cheat pain
Feeling Backstreet lame, with Blackstreet fame
Claustrophobic yet euphoric like a back seat bang
Still I do what I do, cuz my fans need, flamez
So I spit it like a dragon, while my chest steady burns
Got a smile on my face, but the rest of me squirms
Bout ta give up, Des is done, now it’s Destiny’s turn
I can hear my teachers talking bout me: “Desmond, he learns!”
But a day, in the Bible’s, the lifetime of a man
"And he’s close so close, to rising like we planned"
"No light, without dark, the price, he understands"
Scales heavy, with the devil and Christ in one hand

“These are the scales of…
A broken Libra”

Mind molded, attracting track synergy
Rhymes loaded with rap passionate energy
Lines quoted with fact-enhanced imagery
Blindfolded, the black statue of liberty x2
