Daily Duppy (2024)

[Verse]

The grass is greener where you mow it

But when shit's deep rooted, it stops you growing

Family tree, your leaves are showing

To drink away Champ's pain, we needed Moet

Freeze the Rollie when you're tryna seize the moment

Let's be honest, the watch light's bright, it keep you glowing

And every twenty-four, I feel like 2020 3-2

I see the gas working, they fume when they see the poet

Father forgive 'em for forgetting I'm the differеnce

I dropped hit after hit and only got a split dеcision

I want all of my dues, you can pay 'em at the first of the month

I miss my turn, I get a turner and I'm turning it up

Back and in charge

Forgetting I'm the power, the plug, I'm backing in charge

So now I gotta charge 'em to run but how many bars?

Cah they see you take off and they wanna clap at the stars

My amigos in the cut, had to learn to handle them scars

Different paths, niggas acting like they're broke so we switching up the cast

If you haven't got a mill then we're a million miles apart

Different class, if you're gonna ball then be older guard

On your marks in your chambers, get set or set up your dargs

In the past, I sold future, wearing a mask

What's a half? I saw the light in a key of dark

Cold world, I'm playing chess but you're feeling draughts

Ever so often this life be hitting me hard

My sister had a breakdown, that shit was breaking my heart

I'm tryna get her back on her feet

She's in my arms saying she don't wanna be here no longer

But that's a start cause to speak is a part of rebuilding up who you are

And if you pree, chapter mark, boy that's testament to the Psalms

Cause man, I used to pray to have a safe full of bread

And now I only pray to keep me safe from your head

El Capitan has got a mountain to climb, it's within himself

Now I'm on a journey, the title isn't a belt

I'm fighting like Fury every time they're ringing the bell

They know the reason why he climbed but not the reason he fell

There's suttin bout winning that makes the people rebel

There's suttin bout prison that breaks a piece of your shell

My darg came home and he wasn't feeling himself

Said "The world's too big" and he'd rather be in his cell

I never changed in the public, I never came for the money

Rock my chain in the dungeon, the Submariner in the suburbs

They ain't hating, beloved

You walking in my shoes then stop complaining and running

I had to work with a budget, I never stumbled upon it

Lower class, I sold the highest grade for my mother

My dad went ghost, I had to caine and above it

Young bucks in the game, you either hate it or love it

Lovely, mi nah OT, mi in a whole different country

Wrist full of jewellery so mi know dem a judge me

If dem draw me out, mi haffi draw fi mi pumpy

Dem nah have no drive, dem fi draw fi dem jump leads

Dis a Daily Duppy, mi ah kill 'em in public

Make Posty paint di picture with a whole heap of fuckery

Yeah, I been away for a little

Have faith in the ritual, I'm the sage and the crystal

And my first tape dropped in 2006

When everyone would say they do but it's about what you did

Without any Rinse, Deja, Wiley or Sting

That was the real Game of Thrones, you had to joust to be king

Like man forgot I had it locked before I had any locks

I ate a lot, rich curry the GOAT, my hands in the pot

I earned my spot, Mount Rushmore, my face is up in the squad

If you're stepping out your genre, I'll put you back in a box

I relate, my little brother little Wretch a little sinner

Little Kay was dressed to kill

On dark nights, sold Harry brown and Michael caine

I lived a different movie, guess the plot, twisted for Jermaine

Now where I live's a cul-de-sac, I hide away a private plate

They don't know what time it is, the time is now, it doesn't wait

Watch over me, Patek Philippe, now that's a different time of day

I'm in the building with the twins all while the triplets in a cage

That's why I always say my grace, I'm quite amazed

That man he's dissed responsible and he's able to respond

I gave a chunk to my filly, our table is filled with bonds

And man will think you've fallen off cause perception is all we got

It's funny how the main event's been a side man all along

So if you see me in the flesh, big shark in a little pond

Know I grew before my time, I'm the man in my beta squad

With this class A, you don't never get in the prom

But still my left hand's been right with me through all my wrongs

How does it feel, my nigga?

A Porsche and forty acres later and we still ride

In the car, dashing with the yay, it's dollar sign time, link up

Rolling with the piece becah the war might kill us

And now we're seeing eye-to-eye, no longer hi and byes

I know we're pally but we ain't forgetting Palestine

If home is where the heart is then let's keep it black and white

In retrospect, upon reflection, we're just growing over life

The grass is greener where you mow it

But when shit's deep rooted, it stops you growing

Family tree, your leaves are glowing

We're getting closer to autumn, it's just a process

The key component when you're tryna seize the moment is to own it

And don't let it go, it needs controlling

And every twenty-four, I feel like 2020 3-2

I delivered the scriptures, let's keep it going
