(Yo) On a regular basis, I visit many places See many faces, all ages, all races What I'm tryna say is, usually the case is I'm the topic of chases cause I hold all the aces Some rappers are tasteless, nameless, faceless Got it so bad they can't afford shoelaces But when it comes to hits, I cover all bases Leaving no tracks or clues or even traces Who am I to judge? I hold no grudge I got my spot, I won't move or budge You gotta come equipped if you plan to flip the script Cause if not you'll get whipped Some just wanna go along for the ride But me myself, I want some dap on the side Can I get a little dap on the side? (Ho!) Can I get a little dap on the side? (Ho!) Can I get a little dap on the side? Can I get a little dap, huh?
