[Intro]

Uh

Yeah, yo


[Verse 1]

They thought I lost it, but I dropped it, with the Houdini

The revisit had peeps tripping like blue meanies

I move free with no strings and no puppeteers

Low key with no beef but won’t run from fear

Been non-revered, but I’m still here, whatever happens

I’ve been inactive but impassioned irrespect of fashion

But Dia’s back like a chiropractor to get it cracking

Buying land, not designer brands or leather jackets

Chequered flanny’s with the popped colour, Don data

Rock wilder grip, tear the top off a cock blockеr

Your judgments will get hushed givеn the gobstopper

None are saving the future like you were John Connor

Most men'll give their bids to the top dollar

Close friends drift and split like they’re Gondwana

My job offers not box office or shock horror

From Botswana to Coffs Harbour, I clocked honours


[Chorus]

Seen a whole lot of change come flooding my way

But I stay in the ring till the next round

When the world turns grey and the colours all fade

I just keep to myself with my head down

Arse up hard work, keep my head down

They can yell, they can scream, keep my head down

Sun scorching, winter breeze freezing

All four seasons, D keep his head down


[Interlude]

You do yourself an injustice to judge me

By yesterday when I have moved on (Yeh, yeh, yeh)


[Verse 2]

So I just spit fire, ballpoint that'll ignite

While kids hide peripherally for voyeuristic insight

I keep my lips tied and boil on the inside

While snakes reap the spoils with the loyalty of 6ix 9ine

I just practice skill that can pack the bill

Raps that kill a beat on boom bap, trap or drill

These daffodils had their fill thinking that they’re ill

They’re at the hill and ‘bout to move like Jack and Jill

I’m at the peak though, been so till date

Watch the scene go from Premo to Migos and Drake

Yo, sonically it’s changed, but the ego’s the same

Most'll deepthroat the bone if it brings dough or fame

Yo, I be comatosed in a sleep, grown estranged

'Cause the D been AWOL, still the Kings know the name, yo

So unify with my vibe, son, or move aside

Or face the slap like walking into Union Heights


[Chorus]

Seen a whole lot of change come flooding my way

But I stay in the ring till the next round

When the world turns grey and the colours all fade

I just keep to myself with my head down

Arse up hard work, keep my head down

They can yell, they can scream, keep my head down

Sun scorching, winter breeze freezing

All four seasons, D keep his head down


[Interlude]

"Bringing them styles [?]" (Yeah, uh)

"Bringing them styles everbody [?]" (Yeh, yeh, yeh)


[Verse 3]

Doing the do, made moves like a fugitive

Grew in the hills, hazed blue from the Ecalyps

A studious with the tools since the rudiments

Your stupidness could step and get schooled like a group of fish

And dudes all flip, 'cause quality’s abundant

My Polynesian thumbprint, that’s on a beating drum kit

The humdrum come and I’m on my feet and run quick

And function in a world that’s chaotically destructive

Trust, kid, I once ripped this home-grown map

And left the throne, thrown away like it’s a promo track

It’s oh so wack, the bozo’s on photo apps

Lads squatting near their whips when they don’t own that

I used to blow smoke with Joe Joe in boho flats

And went stone broke for cash to paying home loans back

They don’t know jack, no fomo, just flow those raps

On the Calski beats that smack like po-po bats, it goes


[Chorus]

Seen a whole lot of change come flooding my way

But I stay in the ring till the next round

When the world turns grey and the colours all fade

I just keep to myself with my head down

Arse up hard work, keep my head down

They can yell, they can scream, keep my head down

Sun scorching, winter breeze freezing

All four seasons, D keep his head down
