[Intro]
It’s David
Slingshot David
[Verse 1]
Man I came in this game riding greyhound buses
40 hours from New Orleans to LA smelling musty
Husting hard so you can laugh and you can keep your opinion
Let me break my story down, starting with the beginning
Sneaking in the BET awards, no tickets I’m thuggin
Flying on my patna buddy pass, Trey yeah I love ya
Tried to give Jermaine Dupri a demo right in his hand
He ignored me, so I threw it at him when he hopped in his van
Man I crashed on everybody’s sofa from LA to New York
Did it with a three person team my brain, my voice, and my heart
It wasn’t no lane, it wasn’t no lane for what it is that I do
Nobody ain't never put no dime up, I paid all these dues
I had no Top Dawg, No Bryan Williams, no Ben Washer, no Zach Quillen, no Travis Time Turk and Mil
So, what I look like catching feelings
I’m grinding, I’m thuggin, you think not? You bugging
I’m the number one hustler alive, end of discussion
[Chorus with Alia Fieury]
Mission vision is a Army better yet a Navy
So, if you ever player hate me for you it ain't gravy
I got God by my side fighting on the daily
So this what the streets named me
They want that Slingshot David
They want that Slingshot David
They want that slingshot David
So please watch him lord, please watch him lord
[Verse 2]
I’ve been stressing out lately, yeah Dee-1 need a hug
Cause this rap game ugly, Birdman Lugz
I done had 20 managers in just 2 years
And I’m smarter than them all but the big problem is
That was taking all my time up yeah I’m barely could rap
God gone take my life one day though so before He do that
I need the world to hear my story so I’m locked in this booth
No I don’t curse by I’m the do do
Killing all these tracks like do do do
What they don’t do, I do do Married to this game I do do
Same folk use to say who you? Look at me like Ooo-Woo
I want it dog, I want it dog No ifs, ands or anuses
These rap dudes Yeah I’m cool with ya’ll
But please understand who lane this is
Your folk got money huh? Mine need more like eenie meanie
I run my city, I’m New Orleans like the beanie weenie
I’m extra hungry, I’m the underdog
And I got the Mission Vision Posse with me
You know how we coming dawg
[Chorus with Alia Fieury]
Mission vision is a Army better yet a Navy
So, if you ever player hate me for you it ain’t gravy
I got God by my side fighting on the daily
So what the streets named me
They want that Slingshot David
They want that Slingshot David
They want that slingshot David
So please watch him Lord, please watch him Lord
[Verse 3]
Man the Devil is a liar bruh
I know cause I use to be his number one follower
Falling hard for all of his offers for all of his empty promises
Chasing him it got me exhausted
What I look like judging
Somebody with a kid
I did the same exact thing they did
Except shorty ain’t get pregnant
What I look like judging
Somebody locked up patna'
I did the exact same things they did
Except I ain’t get busted patna'
Got a girlfriend right now
And I don’t even trust her patna'
Do I love her? I don’t know
Maybe I’m just lusting patna'
Man my head so messed up sometimes I don’t know know
Evil spirits in my city that’s the 504
I use to not take my life serious
Now I’m curious
If you think I’m focused
Is you hearing this
Every breath is a blessing
Thanking Heaven above
I speak the truth
Praying that I’m worthy of your love
Amen
[Chorus with Alia Fieury]
Mission vision is a Army better yet a Navy
So, if you ever player hate me for you it ain’t gravy
I got God by my side fighting on the daily
So this what the streets named me
They want that Slingshot David
They want that Slingshot David
They want that slingshot David
So please watch him lord, please watch him lord
