No Punches - Dame D.O.L.L.A. (达米恩·利拉德)

Often I ask myself why the Lord picked me

I mean my city and family's so rich in history

Greatness in my DNA it's time for y'all epiphany

Back be to the crowd tho

I gotta lead the symphony

A big difference when you make it and when you arrive

These days the finest things fit me true to size

Open doors up for my fam like some suicides

'Cause we will never ride a wave not immune to tired

Just a lot of cats with money we ain't unified

And many fade doing the same things shooters try

Losing sight chasing coins what a foolish strive

I try to show my true colors and I do with pride

Through my success be putting holes on some relationships

A lot of people I love be having impatience with

Always problems 'bout who I be going places with

And I'd be worried about who I should feel the safest with

Don't look confused I can sense my kindness get abused

Nurture situations different gotta pick and choose

I call my granny she tell me I could get rid of fools

Then tell me why I'm so special while cooking dinner food

I find solace in being alone at family functions

When you get older you see the flaws in your family function

I guess the memories of how it was give me something

Like how my upbringing made me a man of plenty substance

Fast forward to today

And I'm one of the few that can capture an audience

And know what to do

Not many genuine souls out here living the truth

I do my thing and hoop and live what I spit in the booth

Easy to look at things and say I'm unappreciated

'Cause I'm the guy that get the short end like abbreviations

But I'm embracing my position for the guys before that didn't

I'mma be on top the game by consensus

Never came across a pro that move like me

Not even slightly they get pricey when they slight me

Character is high key and surrounded by the sheisty

Strength around my psyche

A changing is less than likely

A lot of favor on my name man it must have costed

Way more than them dollars I gave for tithes and offerings

I guess the lesson was pay it forward I did it often

Moving silence no talking but did a lot of walking

So many teachers on my journey feel this was my calling

To be examples for present stars and children following

Keep it low the world ain't gotta know you really balling

They at your door and you home alone like Macaulay Culkin

I ain't gonna lie and say the transition been a breeze

But all I needed was faith the size of a mustard seed

And it'd be hard trying answer to everybody needs

I can't complain man there's people without a pot to pee
