Goodfellas (Skit) Lyrics – Dave East

Oh, oh
Dave East, I haven’t seen you in such a long time
Come here, look at you, you look terrific
Watch the suit, watch the suit
Hey, Dave, if I was going to bust your chops
I’d ask if you were still signed to that label (Hahaha)
No more labels, Billy
I know you’ve been away a long time

Maybe they didn’t go up there and tell you I’m not signed to a label anymore
I’m independent now
What’s the matter with you? I haven’t seen you in such a long time
I’m joking with you and right away, you’re getting fucking fresh
Well, you know, sometimes it doesn’t sound like you’re kidding
You know, there’s a lot of people asking in the streets if I’m signed or not
I’m not signing anybody, I don’t need anybody
I do it on my own, the way it should be
Me signed to a label? For what?

To have some company with their fucking hands in my pockets, as hard as I work?
To have some fucking prick sitting behind a desk taking half of what I make?
Let me tell you something, you motherfucker
If it’s one thing I am, it’s greedy when it comes to my fucking money
We did the label a favor by signing to ’em, making them hot

Dave East could have done it on his own years ago
You think he’s going to let you brand him with your logo and own all of his masters?
If I know him the way I know him, he’s thinking, “No way I part with my money
And the whole industry is confused whether I’m signed or not”
Well, maybe you got Dave East confused
Well, allow me to un-confuse you
The way I was taught on the streets
Pow, ping
