Truman Lyrics - Professional Rapper - Lil Dicky

Ay 

Man 

Man 

Ay 

I guess ya'll on board 

Young man couldn't leave that shore 

Had the life they made for him 

'Til he seeked out more 

Boat ride, couldn't see that storm 

Held it up though 

He know he close 

It's too late to jump ship 

Ay 

Aw damn, Aw damn 

You that motherfucker, shit 

I know 

This shit became a trip, Cabo 

Up in the womb, but you can feel it when I kick it, I know 

And U2 must be rockin' with Lil Dicky, Bono 

It's like I hit the lotto 

I had to hit the wall though 

I couldn't see it for a minute 

Shit was hittin' wall though 

They treat it like I'm goin' crazy 

I'm just playin', I don't 

It's just I know 

It's just I know 

I saw the world like hold up 

Damn near fakin' on the side 

Let me take you on a ride 

Let me tell you 'bout the one who couldn't take the 9 to 5 

Used to take the 925 down to Richmond 

Bumpin' Jigga up in the ride 

Used to think along and drive 

'Bout my drive 

Used to wonder why 

Used to wonder when the world'll see like I'm seein' mine 

Used to whine 

Used to wanna shine 

Used to wanna dine 

Used to talk to bitches in my mind when they walkin' by 

"Girl what's happenin', Girl what's happenin'" 

I ain't really 'bout to get involved that's what's happenin' 

Errything I knew was unevolved like a baptist 

Layin' on my mattress 

Prayin' I could have this, and 

Now when I get Tinder matches 

They think they been Catfished 

Now I be controlling how we livin' like a fascist 

Now I got this weight up off my shoulders like a strapless 

Remember this shit was hapless 

Remember the day it happened 

Aw you the shit Dave, you be killin' everything you did 

Got the whole world talkin' all about what you did 

Got yo old girl talkin' all 'bout what you is 

Got yo old world lookin like it's his you ain't here 

I been fuckin' for the fuck of it 

And one of them bitches I been fuckin' with 

Been wondering how I can work this much and stomach it 

She wonders what I want from it 

I said we don't gotta get into it 

She like Nah just do it 

She a psychology student 

She always followin' up 

Find the guy to be amusing as fuck 

Usually I'll answer her truthfully 

But truthfully, I'm unusually used to being unusually good at internalizing when music is not provided 

But I humor ho 

Ask her if she ever saw the Truman Show 

She like yeah 

I like well, when I saw that shit I was convinced I was livin' like Jim 

A similar situation where I was the basis of everyone's entertainment 

Like really up in the basement talkin' to y'all 

In the mirror because I thought that Lil David was some American hero 

I know it's selfish and all 

But I just felt it's my call 

I was a ten year old then 

By 2010 I was wrong 

I'm like "aw damn, aw damn, you the motherfucker though" 

I know 

This shit became a trip, Cabo 

Up in the womb, but you can feel it when I kick it, I know 

And U2 must be rockin' with Lil Dicky, Bono 

It's like I hit the lotto 

I had to hit the wall though 

I couldn't see it for a minute 

Shit was hittin' wall though 

They treat it like I'm goin' crazy 

I'm just playin', I don't 

It's just I know 

It's just I know 

Twenty three bars up in my apartment 

I am debarred 

Gotta do this shit 

I gotta recharge 

But I gotta be smart 

Movin' up that ladder company 

Star, fuck it, that ain't nothin' 

I am the star 

Spittin' like a retard 

Work was like a prison 

I'm just seein' bars 

My boss was all up in my camp 

And I'm just seein' Lars 

I been a heavyweight, Muhammad Ali 

And if he can mold that out of "Clay" 

Then I can turn the Lil D 

So now I'm snappin' like I'm Truman 

But off and on 

There's always somethin' in the way 

I should be often gone 

Girl I'm sorry if this draggin' 

I just need you to imagine 

Bein' stuck up on the land without a captain 

When everyday is average 

And everyday you feelin' like a captive 

And feel like somethin' seriously lackin' 

And then you fear what could happen if you just leave it on the table like napkins 

But, yo, you really fearin' hitting them rappin's and leaving everything behind 

'Cause you don't know what that horizon brings 

But girl you gotta know what kind of fish you is 

Survival instinct kicked in 

Sink or swim 

I flipped a playlist 

Quit my day gig 

Now, I'm on a boat, Lonely Island 

Irony, yeah you still been tryin' to figure how I work this tirelessly 

But girl 

This is everything I've thought 

This for everything I've fought 

This for who I am to me becomes to y'all 

(Go) 

They tellin' me "nah" 

But I just be tellin' them "yeah" (Go) 

I just be tellin' them "yeah" (Go) 

I just be tellin' them "yeah" 

Tell 'em I'm gone (Yeah) 

I just pretend I ain't scared (Go) 

Don't even know I was there (Go) 

Don't even know if I care 

'Cause girl this is Truman approachin' the wall 

Until I'm me I am nothin' at all 

Until I'm free I will not see beyond 

I had to be who I was all along 

Ay I think I mighta broke it down 

Hoppin' on the fuckin' steps like ain't no around 

Open up that door, you bet, ship ain't goin' down

Guess the only thing that's left is to take a bow 

Aw, damn! Aw, damn! 

You that motherfucker shit 

I know 

This ship became a trip, Cabo 

Up in the womb, but you can feel it when I kick it, I know 

And U2 must be rockin' with Lil Dicky, Bono 

It's like I hit the lotto 

I had to hit the wall though 

I couldn't see it for a minute 

Shit was hidden, Waldo 

They treat it like I'm goin' crazy 

I'm just prayin', I don't 

It's just I know 

It's just I know 

(Just I know) Fuck! (Just I know) 

Photos 

That felt good 

Well, that's all I got 

The show is over, as they say 

Honestly, uh I just think that part in the Truman Show where his boat hits the wall 

Is really the exact moment that I'm at in my own life right now 

Uh, metaphorically, of course 

And I'm ready for - I think I'm read for it 

Like I've been thinkin' about it, I think I'm ready 

I mean, if I'm being completely transparent with y'all 

Uh, like my lifestyle hasn't really changed that much 

Uh, you know, considering, uh, where I think I'm at musically 

Like I'm still at the point right now where pretty much any bitch that tweets at me anything remotely flirtatious 

I have seen not just one of your pictures, I have seen the entire catalog 

That's the type of shit that's goin' down over here right now, so... 

I am definitely ready for that, uh, next step, y'know what I'm sayin'? 

I think it's close, too 

I think it's close 

Like, uh, Diddy tweeted about me 

Uh, you know, I don't know if he handles his own Twitter 

I would assume he probably doesn't, actually 

But, like, I'm so confident that I feel as though, like, me and Diddy will have a moment just about this outro 

Like when we're both sittin' next to each other smokin' cigars 

And bein' like, "Ay, remember when you said that shit on that outro?" 

Like, and I'm like, "Yeah. That's, this is the exact moment I - I did that for, y'know what I'm sayin'?" 

Bring the - bring the beat back up. I don't know why 

Like, keep, loop everything. I wanna be talkin' for minutes, yeah, uh, y'know what I'm sayin'? 

Like, uh, shout out my Macbook Pro 

Had that shit since '09 

I made my first song ever on it 

Like, when I called myself Lil Dicky 

I made my, like, fuckin' album songs on that shit 

And we survived, baby 

Uh, shoutout Allen Iverson, Larry David, Will Smith, and Kobe Bryant 

For makin' me the man that I am today 

Both on and off the court 

Shout out my mother 

What a great woman 

She's so mad that I recorded these conversations 

She - she honestly went crazy 

It took so much convincing to allow this 

But, she's awesome 

She's adapting to the rap game, as we all are 

Look, I just want to get this to a place where I can sell TMZ pictures of my actual asshole 

Heh, y'know? 

'Cause, well, I, I think that'd be such a feat 

If I could actually create, like, an alt alias 

And sell TMZ pictures of my own asshole 

Like, profit off of that 

That, I would totally do it 

I don't know why Seth Rogen's not already doing it 

I don't, I'm seein' the signs that it's not, that I'm I think I'm seein' the signs 

I hope I am 

If I'm really just misreading all these signs 

Then, I am 100% gonna have, like, a legitimate nervous breakdown 

Uh, at some point very soon 

So, we'll find out about that 

But I see some signs 

Like, like I really am not fuckin' that much 

But, like, the other day I did fuck a bitch to music 

Like, I fucked a bitch to some Miguel 

And that's kind of new for me if I'm bein' real 

Like, I had never actually done it before 

But I was feelin' like I was some king shit 

Y'know what I'm sayin'? 

So, I was like, "Man, Imma fuck this bitch to some Miguel right now" 

Uh, actually to be completely real to you, I, I will never fuck a girl to music again 

I found the whole thing to feel, like, completely cliche 

Like, I don't need my emotions dictated to me by, like, music 

It makes me feel like I'm in like a TV scene 

Takes all the, like, realness out of the moment for me 

Like, actually, was actually super weirded out by it 

So, but still, like, I am about to let my hair down 

And, I don't know, I just feel like it's all comin' 

I feel like, like, I'm literally, like, about to find out about everything 

And it's exciting 

And, I, y'know, I, I had pinkeye last week 

And I remember thinkin' that, as I, like, was like, real down 

'Cause I was, like, trying to keep recording and shit 

But I was thinking, "What would Michael Jordan do?" 

And he would play through the pinkeye 

So that's why I'm in here 

I'm still not fully recovered, y'know what I'm sayin'? 

I, I'm definitely clearin' up 

Like, it's totally on the upswing 

But, I just want you know I did record this shit through pinkeye 

Alright, I could talk for fuckin' years 

Legitimate years 

This is an outro to an out 

You see how long I talk with outros to songs 

But, goddamn 

Look, I need to get out of here 

I'm 'bout to go take a Khalifa 

Rest up 

That's right, I did invent that phrase just there 

"Take a Khalifa" 

Y'know what I'm sayin'? 

I also invented "That's what she said" 

But I get no credit for it 

Uh, oh, shoutout to Dickheads, obviously 

Fundin' this whole operation 

Whatchu know about a Kickstarter, man? 

Whatchu know about the best fans in the world? 

Seriously 

Thank you guys, I appreciate it 

Honestly, you made my dreams come true, and that's fact 

Couldn't have done this without y'all 

Uh, I'd like to shoutout my dick 

I know, y'know, we haven't had the smoothest relationship 

But, I feel as though by kind of putting our issues out there 

Like, we have become something bigger than we could have been otherwise 

And, hopefully soon you will be rewarded for your patience 

And I will be rewarded for my patience 

I, and, I respect you 

I'd like to shoutout my brain 

My brain got the hardest verse on the whole goddamn album 

I hope my brain starts gettin' some feature looks 

But he don't just hop on shit 

Fuck, I, I got nothin' left 

I'm out 

I'm a professional rapper 

Long live LD 

And in case I don't see ya 

"Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight."
