Sideline - David Dallas, Che Fu

Know the boy D-Double do it all day

Get the messing with his tracks, no foreplay

Seems simple now but it wasn’t always

Used to sit up in the Pap High hallways

Teacher put me there saying that I talk to much

I thought I knew it all but I never knew much

I come to school late because my form room sucked

And we hang out by the canteen all through lunch

Young teen with a pac (men)tality

No dream I can make reality

All I care about is popularity

Trying to pass Jessica trying to get a touch

And a Mufti day try them with some new Chucks

Try them with some new Nikes or something

They didn’t give a fuck about assignments or nothing

Didn’t make music even though I loved it

Scared to try, high to shy get busted (?)

So I sit on the sideline

Despite in my time

If I could be in their shoes

The things that id do

But wishing won’t get you know where

Dont be scared to go there

If you sit in my wake

Do it the right way

(yeah ya)

No I wasn’t in the first fifteen

Wasn’t in the choir, Never learned to sing

Couldn’t play an instrument or pluck a string

Or the little rich kid whos dad bought him a car

A regular dude fading in to the background

Never took center stage, didn’t really stand out

I remember school TalentQuest

We would hang out see this other dude rap

Then he’d be the man around E block

For like the next two weeks, scoring all of the chicks

While these Diggas my mom bought, are falling to bits

And I’m off in detention, for ignoring Mr. Smitts

And this bitch mocked me in class for having big lips

It was a hard knock life for a kid

Till I realized that a life isn’t lived

If you’re worrying about what other people might think of it

Don’t sleep on this little boy’s raps because he might be a hit

Dont let it go by

There ain’t no reason known why

Youre waiting around

You could be a star

Just watch from a far

Just stop waiting around

School finished did a little bit of growing up

But it wasn’t like music was blowin' up

Shy as ever figured out I had to grow some nuts

And put my self out there, so they know whats up

And yeah I was pretty scared what they might say

They FENZ at it and say its bad in a nice way

Or I wasn’t doing it the right way

But there ain’t no right or wrong

Got one life to live and it ain’t that long

So you gotta stay strong, gotta stay on

Another day sittin', wishin is another day gone

Another day doing dishes, or just mowing up the lawn

Coludve been another day that another star was born

Dont be scared man

Dont worry too much about what people are going to say

Because at the end of the day

The only person who still thinks about that stuff is you

Ya know?
