Shaft Lyrics by Dave East, Buda & Grandz

Book of David (Deluxe)

2023

[Chorus]
I'm so blessed, I know the devil probably mad (uh)
Down to do whatever for this cash (Whatever)
All black leather like I'm Shaft
And I only trust me, I feel like Tony in the bath (Bathroom)
Made a couple hundred out a cab
Close niggas actin' funny, guess they wanted me to laugh
To only my opponents will I brag
And I'm never too far from a .40 and a mask
[Verse 1]
Post up like Dirk, used to dish it like Nash
They ain't wanna give me credit, now they kissin' my ass
You can hear Nas and some Kiss when I rap
Hear Styles, hear Sequa, hear Nip when I rap
Bitches take it off, make them strip when I rap
Niggas turn groupie, actin' like a chick when I rap
Bombs I'ma keep droppin', this is Iraq
I know you like what they're doin', but this is not that
One of the few niggas that lived what I rap
Went platinum in the streets, baby, give me my plaque
If a nigga claimin' he iller, then this is not facts (Nah)
The fiends came back, sayin' this is not crack (No)
Too much bakin' soda, you ain't gettin' it like that (No)
You doin' it for the 'Gram, you ain't livin' like that
Go help your kids, how you do your children like that?
Everything tailor fitted got me feelin' like that (Uh)
[Chorus]
I'm so blessed, I know the devil probably mad
Down to do whatever for this cash (Whatever)
All black leather like I'm Shaft
And I only trust me, I feel like Tony in the bath (Bathroom)
Made a couple hundred out a cab
Close niggas actin' funny, guess they wanted me to laugh (Ha ha ha)
To only my opponents will I brag
And I'm never too far from a .40 and a mask (Never)
[Verse 2]
Not even in the hallway get a pass (Not one)
Put his body in the garbage, he was trash (Garbage)
At the party and my Carti look like glass
I be in the kizzy with a Marley full of gas
Flizzy in the stash, went to Philly for a badge (North)
Throw it in the bag, bitch, I really be with Fab
I feel like I'm Dexter, I be really in the lab (Uh)
Act like I never met her, now she really gettin' mad
This ice on, got a nigga wanna hit the slopes
They love a nigga rich, but would they love a nigga broke? (Huh?)
I ain't tryna joke, Ma, I wanna feel your throat (Mhm)
Put enough away, so I can leave it when I go (Go)
If you never water it, that seed will never grow (It won't)
Sayin' that shit hot, but y'all be speaking on the low (I know)
Take it to the top, I used to sleep right on the floor (Yeah)
I grew it on the west, but on the east, I get the coke
[Chorus]
I'm so blessed, I know the devil probably mad (So blessed)
Down to do whatever for this cash (Whatever)
All black leather like I'm Shaft
And I only trust me, I feel like Tony in the bath (Bathroom)
Made a couple hundred out a cab
Close niggas actin' funny, guess they wanted me to laugh (Hah)
To only my opponents will I brag
And I'm never too far from a .40 and a mask
