Dope

[Intro]

Looking out my window

I don't recognize the world I used to know

[Chorus: John Givez]

I'm so underrated, underestimated (Looking out my window)

I'm still dope (I don't recognize the world I used to know)

And I got some folks back home (Looking out my window)

Questioning how I made it

It's 'cause I'm dope (I don't recognize the world I used to know)

I heard you talk behind my back (Looking out my window)

Behind my back

Just don't leave out the fact that I'm dope (I don't recognize the world I used to know)

And life ain't perfect (Looking out my window)

But it's worth it 'cause it's dope (I don't recognize the world I used to know)

[Verse 1: Propaganda]

Let me tell you like, uh

"Why you always talkin' 'bout a home town

All that unity between the black and brown?" Uh

'Cause it's dope

"And why you never rap about a bad chick?

You be at the crib posted up with the wife and kids" Uh

'Cause it's dope

Hot wings and elotes Boca Del Rio, Miss Perez' pazole

California sunsets, boulevard, I ain't got a set

Gangsta, like "Boy ain't you from the west?"

We was freezing on the street corners in downtown Pamona

We was feeding instrumentals through the tweeters in your jeep

I ain't never served feen a unless you mean a sixteen

We were blowing all these trees with the G's from Pasadena

We were freely givin' music pre-Spotify streamin'

Believe me, despite all logic we billboard charting

You looking for a reason to be honest I don't see one

But if you need one it's 'cause I'm dope

[Hook: John Givez]

I'm so underrated, underestimated (Looking out my window)

I'm still dope (I don't recognize the world I used to know)

And I got some folks back home (Looking out my window)

Questioning how I made it

It's 'cause I'm dope (I don't recognize the world I used to know)

I heard you talk behind my back (Looking out my window)

Behind my back

Just don't leave out the fact that I'm dope (I don't recognize the world I used to know)

And life ain't perfect (Looking out my window)

But it's worth it 'cause it's dope (I don't recognize the world I used to know)

[Verse 2: Propaganda]

They never won no online contest but I spoke at the Congress

We need another sixteen to namedrop

East African origins, peaking through these cheekbones

Means I made a survivor, sitting in my chromosomes

Mandatory 20 years, cousin [Aaron?] back home

Life can be a trip, buckle up and hold tight

Remind me I ain't crazy and the grace stay amazing

He came down to prove I wasn't talking to an empty room

Remind me that the truth is that I'm looking at an empty tomb

Sealed the deal, love was so real

But them gangbang rituals, inner city bar mitzvahs

Send your best anthropologists, come and sit in the midst of us

You could catch a glimpse of the fragrance and staying power

No champagne showers

I'm just dope, I'm just dope

I'm just dope, I'm just dope
