[Intro: Will Swan]

This is DGD

Gettin' hot like E-40

From the Bay to Sac

Smoke blunts, spit tracks from the back

Ay shawty, how ya doin'?

Thrown back like quarterback threw it

I'm real bad and we get real stupid

Shot heart by a nigga named Cupid


[Chorus: Andrew Wells]

Pain, blame

Shame won't stop the worm inside your

Brain, pain

Is growing stronger, growing stronger

If you got an attitude 'cause you can't agree

If you got an attitude, it's not 'cause of me

[Verse 1: Jon Mess, Andrew Wells & Will Swan]

Is your life unsatisfactory?

'Cause you forgot about skincare?

I got the deal, a four three fifty

A face spraying to complete your blank stare

If you are the messenger, I'll be your passenger

Tеll me, do you dig the backseat?

Gеt to the particulars, the extra-curriculars

You're safe with me

Why you steppin' on my neck?

Who's fly? Who's Beck?

Now you're jumping out the wreck

Fruit with pretty triple sec


[Refrain: Jon Mess]

(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da)

Might go soft when your life gets hard

(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da)

Might get rough when you end up scarred

(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da)

You might sleep better if you don't make art

(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

But my life grows if I go hard


[Chorus: Andrew Wells]

Pain, blame

Shame won't stop the worm inside your

Brain, pain

Is growing stronger, growing stronger

If you got an attitude 'cause you can't agree

If you got an attitude, it's not 'cause of me

[Verse 2: Jon Mess, Will Swan & Andrew Wells]

I thought I said we were back in stock again

No response to my thirty-third text

I want this part to really hurt the listener good

I want to feel their most painful cringe

Shank a goblin like I'm Link

Grande pink drink

Wash a baby in the sink

Armor, no chink

If you are the messenger, I'll be your passenger

Tell me, do you dig the backseat?

Get to the particulars, the extra-curriculars

You're safe with me


[Refrain: Jon Mess]

(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da)

Might go soft when your life gets hard

(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da)

Might get rough when you end up scarred

(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da)

You might sleep better if you don't make art

(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

But my life grows if I go hard


[Bridge: Andrew Wells]

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Cancel all my plans

I don't give in to demons

You're the one thing I can't stand

Put a gun up to my head

[Outro: Will Swan, Jon Mess & Andrew Wells]

(You want me to wake up) That's fantastic

(You want me to break up) So sarcastic

(Afraid of the shake up) New cult classic

(I think this is your drug) Bragging addict

(You want me to wake up) Back in the crypt

(You want me to break up) Shouldn't exist

(Afraid of the shake up) Tearing a rift

(I think this is your drug) Not your planet

Gimme the prize, I wanna see it right now

The best, I wanna see right now

I can't believe that this is over
