(No Ratings Yet)The title track from Datkid’s latest album Home By 8 is really just typical Datkid and needs no further introduction.
VERSE 1:
DATKID
- I take a breath of smoke, let it go, then I take a second toke
- Grab a pen and flow, get into aggressive mode
- Pissed cause I can’t even step on roads, records show
- Instead I’m home with a tag around my leg alone
- And yeah I know I was a twat
- I was out stepping hotter with the coppers on my back
- Then I got another tag and didn’t bother to try stopping it and that
- I chose to go get arrested over cotching at my flat
- And I bet them stinking pigs loved it when they raided me
- Took off my door and saw that I was caught cultivating weed
- Next day in morning court, making pleas
- While the papers painting to be some crazy beast just to make some P
- But I should have been holding it down
- Instead of floating around with my boat in the clouds
- Rolling through towns, smashed, with a roach in my mouth
- And a marker glued to my palm, writing over your house
CHORUS:
DATKID
- Cause if you’re living as a sinner, then you pay the price
- That’s just the way of life, fuck living it like you aint alive
- So that’s why I’ll be home by 8 tonight
- Cotching plotting with my gray tonight
- Waiting for the day I rise
VERSE 2:
DATKID
- See truthfully, the only thing I’m regretting is getting caught
- I’d probably do it all again without a second thought
- But next time I’ll make sure I don’t have to step in court
- And get left with a ringing phonebox on my bedroom floor
- Yeah F the law, fuck the judges and magistrates
- Fuck the prosecutors, fuck the journalists and the jakes
- They man are waste, trying to have me ????
- And every time I walk the streets I might take prang and bait
- And all they say is “I’m just doing my job”
- But you chose to do your job, are you stupid or what?
- You’re just a glorified snitch with a uniform on
- That all the kiddies love to spit on when you move them along
- And the reason I’ll hate every one of these pricks till I die
- Is for the fact they’re trying to punish me for living my life
- Fuck your authority, I’ll shit on your stripes
- Then get home by 8, in time to scribble a rhyme and bring it alive

“Took off my door and saw that I was caught evading ????
Next day in morning court, make him plead”

“Took off my door and saw that I was CULTIVATING WEED
Next day in morning court, MAKING PLEAS”

“Instead of floating around with my BOAT in the clouds”
