Lyrics
Hi, I'm Dave
Introduction of the speaker, Dave.
I'm strange (No)
Acknowledging his peculiarity.
I've been up so long
Expressing a long period of wakefulness.
Don't know where I'll go
Uncertainty about his future direction.
Don't know what I know I'm wrong (You're right)
Admitting awareness of being wrong.
I must be gone (Gone)
Repeating the feeling of departure.
I must be gone (Gone)
-I'll play my God
Referencing playing a godly role.
(What you doing?)
Question about current activities.
Like everything
Embracing everything in life.
Don't shoot down my pair of wings
Defending his unique perspective.
Let me just smoke my Mary Jane
Indulging in marijuana use.
I'll just hold my marriage in
Protecting his commitment to marriage.
And that coin flip so damn 'merican
Commenting on the American nature of a coin flip.
Ever take a walk in the street
Describing a walk in the street and observing life.
Sit up in the middle of the median
-And they come and go and they come and go
Highlighting the transient nature of things.
And my shit been bumpin' my shit been dope
Recognition of success in music.
But I'm missing something I'm kissing hoes
Acknowledging a sense of emptiness in personal life.
And I'm missing something I'm switching roles
Reflecting on changing roles and relationships.
And I'm pissed at something I'm drifting slow
Expressing frustration and drifting emotionally.
I got zip files (Zip files zip files zip files)
Referencing digital files and uncertainty.
And I know if I click them they gonna unlock
-How do I know that though? I wasn't taught
Questioning knowledge acquired on the job.
I guess that shit that you learn on the job
-And my permanent fog isn't burning like smog
Describing a persistent mental fog.
Look at your feet totally odd (So weird)
Reflecting on the oddity of life's details.
What is a feat? What is a job?

Noting changes in physical appearance.
So of late I've got in my retainer, but dawg
-Sooner or later the pain is a problem (Ow)
Contradicting the pain being a problem.
Only its not, only its not
-That mean its working, I guess I'm like God
Claiming to be like God in making things work.
(No no no but like it ain't even like that man

You know what I'm saying? Like, y'all you know what I'm saying

Churned shit while he cursed this (No)

-But I swear to God I ain't heard nothing (None)
-I second guessed you but escalated
Reflecting on personal growth and resilience.
Shit ready when I'm done renovating
-Don't fuck with me on my escapade
-Don't fuck with me on my escapade
-And I met a boy on that mountain top
Recalling advice from a mysterious figure.
And he said to me go 'round the block
-And I did that, and I came back, and he took back what I took back
-(I'm not ready for that. Who the fuck are, what are you?)
Describing a realization of being on the right path.
