Transmitting Live by David Dallas Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Get up on my frequency
You can catch me broadcasting legally
This raw South Pacific scenery
What you see in me is nothing like them Peter Jack flicks
I never been the type to treat the truth like it's Mr. Fantastic
Just really so damn sick, don't stick to the damn script
You think you're the man, I'm here to fuck up your plans quick
A little pedantic with the details can't hang with
Half these so-called experts, don't speak my language
Don't write about this, listen up
You need to put your pens down 'cause you miss too much
Could result in fisticuffs from half truths gettin' spread
In the quest for getting bread, ain't no telling where we'll be lead
Till I'm dead
Rep the afakasi flag, Papatoe king
Another young Polynesian try to go against the grain
Never donated to pastors that didn't know my name
I don't say Grace at the table, Mum thinkin' I changed
Been the same since primary school
Rolling on them BMXs, we were riding, fool
Thinkin' that it might be cool to play some Dr. Dre today
I would sit inside and pull four-hour shifts tryna learn this shit
[Chorus]
Now I'm transmitting live
Feel the vibe, you can even ride
Or collide, we won't be denied
Tell a friend, go tell a friend
We're going in, transmitting live
Feel the vibe, you can even ride
Or collide, we won't be denied
Tell a friend, go tell your friends
We're going in, transmitting live
[Verse 2]
On the melody, up in high fidelity
Don't give a fuck what they telling me
Catch a felony for real, they try to mute my voice
But can't monopolize the airwaves, now there's a choice
To let me hoist some of these issues on my shoulders
Nights are getting colder, different ball, different soldier
None of us can get a mortgage
Only thing that their reportin' is some E Channel flings
All the music their recordin' sounds like people can't sing
And an athlete can't swing without a PD allegation
My boy just got denied on more than three applications
New degree, congratulations, getting accusations
WINZ tryna to cut him off, say he ain't on the hunt for jobs
It's like fuck it dog, didn't sign up for this
Had to grab this mic and end box and try some other shit
Me and my production clique tick that off the bucket list
Years later, look at what we coming with
[Chorus]
Now I'm transmitting live
Feel the vibe, you can even ride
Or collide, we won't be denied
Tell a friend, go tell a friend
We're going in, transmitting live
Feel the vibe, you can even ride
Or collide, we won't be denied
Tell a friend, go tell your friends
We're going in, transmitting live
Get up on my frequency
You can catch me broadcasting legally
This raw South Pacific scenery
What you see in me is nothing like them Peter Jack flicks
I never been the type to treat the truth like it's Mr. Fantastic
