Intro - Dave the Fave)
Yeah, it's a dream come true
Jason D, Dedicated - let's go
Hey Jason, what we doin man? (Carry on tradition)
Tell em one more time, c'mon (Carry on tradition)
What we carryin? (Carry on tradition)
(Others such as myself, we're tryna carry on tradition)
I don't think they heard you, Jason (Carry on tradition)
What we doin with it bro? (Carry on tradition)
What we carryin exactly? (Carry on tradition)
(Others such as myself, we're tryna carry on tradition)
(Verse 1 - MCMD)
It's the dream... team... we some phantom thieves
We steal hearts and the minds of the fans to be
Been the fantasy of many see me handling a mic
Jason D is focused cuttin up a record right behind me
David get lively it's time we
made this shit official, we the Harry, Ron, Hermione
or might be the Jordan, Rodman, Pippen of cuttin & spittin
Yeah Producing under pressure and then laying down a written
with my 2 besties, yes we
Keeping it on lock like the loche is to Nessie
Im a sasquatch when I'm rocking a neck piece
Catch me in the woods of the north west questing
But it's so dangerous to go alone
bustin rhymes up on the mic til their minds get blown
I linked up with the two best guys I know
and lay it down for the crown lets go baby
(Chorus - DTF)
Dave the Fave and MC (Carry on tradition)
Eleven and Jason D (Carry on tradition)
DS, E&J (Carry on tradition)
(Others such as myself, we're tryna carry on tradition)
Yo what up Trav G! (Carry on tradition)
Spin Master Mugen, he (Carry on tradition)
Gem State hip hop, we (Carry on tradition)
(Others such as myself, we're tryna carry on tradition)
(Verse 2 - DTF)
Carry on tradition like my elders did
overseas in Laos in small villages
They had a tribe, not much different from mine
We both had values that aligned
like the stars did on the 7th and 8th of April
in the hospital, I never wood like maple
imagine that years later, I'd be able
to rock shows with a dude still in the same stable
Literally from day one
Now that's a heck of a combination
that unlocked some of the freshest music from the Gem State
Let me feel myself, then you can hate
And we're lucky that people like us
cause it wasn't always cool to be people like us
It takes a village
As far as I'm concerned, if you helped me,
you're part of the team - meeting adjourned
(Chorus - DTF)
Dave the Fave and MC (Carry on tradition)
Eleven and Jason D (Carry on tradition)
DS, E&J (Carry on tradition)
(Others such as myself, we're tryna carry on tradition)
Yo what up Trav G! (Carry on tradition)
Spin Master Mugen, he (Carry on tradition)
Gem State hip hop, we (Carry on tradition)
(Others such as myself, we're tryna carry on tradition)
(Scratch Outro - DJ Jason D/DTF)
Carry on tradition
Dedicated Servers and Jason D - yeet

One Thing Remains
03:24
|
|||
Verse 1 - Dave the Fave)
Went from daps and hugs to bows and foot taps
Got my ass vaxxed so now I give bear hugs
because you never know when your time's gonna be up
Doin push-ups backstage and Matt says "we up"
These are the blessings I count - that's what it's about
It goes beyond any amount
Even if you just give me a pound;
not like that, but like that,
we still got that crack
like chiropractors, we got your back
and like Kofi Kingston, "we gotcho ass"
Up, up, down, down - that's the cycle life puts you down
No cheats but we manage to get around
cause like rule number one of gambling,
we never give up so keep on scrambling
like Denny's, let me
serve this up with dedication, and a side of Jason
(Chorus - DTF)
Some things the same, some things change
but one thing remains - we still got game so let's play
Whether away or home base
the court don't matter when it's MC and Dave (x2)
(Verse 2 - MCMD)
Okay Doki Doki Panic I'm a copy of a damaged
individual, a fantasy a dream
never was a hero or a genie and yet every time you see me
rock a mic it's like some magic on the screen
You're girls screamin "Dedicated!" while screening your calls
Came to meet a mystery man well mystery solved
I'm the MCMD a 4 letter word
Better whisper it in private never let it be heard
Boise's dirty little secret catch us every other weekend
beatin the drum, the only rappers keepin it fun
fun guys got you trippin with a slip of the tongue
I could never slip away until our mission is done
Like we came to rock and entertain the masses
Pick up your glasses cheers to the last of us
Who entertain, A dying breed
My life's been an act of love, rest in beats
(Chorus - DTF)
...yeah
one thing remains - we still got game so let's play
Whether away or home base
the court don't matter when it's MC and Dave
Some things the same, some things change
but one thing remains - we still got game so let's play
Whether away or home base
the court don't matter when it's MC and Dave
(Verse 3 - DTF)
One time for Wayne, listening from above
We endure the pain but in the end, have love
from what you gave us
Met you at The Wreck with Trav Glave plus
the best DJ - no makeup
like rehearsals
I'm talkin bout Jason D - he made this beat you got on repeat
Two times for The Wreck breakin necks weekly
if you wonder why your neck feel weakly
(MCMD)
Can't leave this track alone the beat needs me
Jason on the 1s and 2s we aint leavin'
Any ass unmoved, so blast the tune
Down to groove any time that you ask us to
I will rap for food, more money or mentions
Keep it on lock down and I'll serve out a sentence
Voice of the people, I'm the public defendant
Grab a mic hit record and ill start my confession
(Chorus - DTF)
Some things the same, some things change
but one thing remains - we still got game so let's play
Whether away or home base
the court don't matter when it's MC and Dave (x2)

That's It

(Intro - Dave the Fave)
Full-time streamer - I don't even wanna rap
Jason D sent me this track and now I'm back (ah ha)
We back baby, hey
Jason (that's it)
MC (that's it)
Dave the Fave reporting for duty (that's it)
Eleven (that's it)
Mugen (that's it)
Two, zero, eight, whatchu say? (that's it)
(Verse 1 - MCMD)
Did yall forget? You couldn't force us to quit
I fathered more kids than the orphanage did
Daddy won't leave, baby I'll rock you to sleep
I brought you the heat but never copped a degree
I pop off on a beat like a cop in the street
"It's a shame that we found so much dope in his genes"
Colloquially king whenever locally scene
You'll know it was me by the way the openers scream
Dedication! a doctor without patience
I ain't got to practice, and in any location, I could
rock a mic like little mac I might bring lyrics back
or fight for your right to make terrible rap
I love the game like it adopted my name
Had two of my kids and went and cooked me a steak
you know that real old fashion classic
dedicated to the art of rapping that's it
(Chorus - DTF)
Dope beats (that's it)
Dope rhymes (that's it)
Focus on the work and nothing else (that's it)
Practice (that's it)
Action (that's it)
More work and less yappin (that's it)
(Verse 2 - DTF)
You heard about Dave? The way his life change?
All he do is sit around and play games (ha)
See, when you're level 35 like me,
you can't rely on one thing
I'm a man of many hats, literally
Too many people look at things too visually
They don't see behind these curtains
and forget that I'm workin, workin, workin, WORK
Got no time for games - believe I'm stackin
It feels good to put the plans into action
and that's it
See I don't wanna post about it, I don't wanna talk about it
I wanna be about it
like fans of Pennywise, I would rather rock than talk
Clown around and you might get shot
by this verbal ammunish ya bish
Where's my Switch? I'd rather make money
than to talk to you, biatch
(Chorus - DTF)
Dope beats (that's it)
Dope rhymes (that's it)
Focus on the work and nothing else (that's it)
Practice (that's it)
Action (that's it)
More work and less yappin (that's it)
(Outro - DTF)
They say silence is golden so I goes in
in the privacy of my home when you scrollin
and wonderin "what happened to those boys?"
You was talkin shit when Jason got back with the boys
Put it all together, and we back with the noise
Bout to return like there was never even a void
but coming out of it, I'll still avoid
the public, so let me go ahead and send you to voice

Been Well
03:51
|
|||
Chorus - Dave the Fave)
Dunno what you been up to but I hope you been well
I know it's been hell - well,
it could always be worse but we don't have to let it be,
so just let it be (x2)
(Verse 1 - DTF)
Been well, doing well, all of the above
That's all I want for you - it's all love
We got a lot of differences but then I look at these kids
and they're looking at us for tips
so I'm thinking, we gotta do better for them
When we were kids, you clowned me in front of my friends
and as adults, we disagree on all fronts
It's funny how we used to settle things with a punch
and a headlock takedown but we're too old now
Between both of us, I've lost count
of how many friends and fam we lost,
so if we keep being petty, we lost
We don't need to be best friends or even make amends
Life is just short, I just wanna recommend
thinking of the youth and how we can support them
Now, how did their elders act before them?
(Chorus - Dave the Fave)
Dunno what you been up to but I hope you been well
I know it's been hell - well,
it could always be worse but we don't have to let it be,
so just let it be (x2)
(Verse 2 - MCMD)
Life moves in cycles, we circle the drain
From friendship to rivals, became
You poisoned the well of my name yup
Well, I did same cause I'm sick of the ones who betray. truthfully
I don't even know now, where we went askew
Made through some bad dudes but we played it cool
No rules when I stayed with you
But when you came to my place you got a plate of food
You were my best friend but maybe I wasn't yours
I still remember when you cut the cord, Lame
how the good times just faided
Came by but your wife said you couldn't make it. Man
it's all love, I'm glad you found peace With
the fact that our friendships just not needed
I hope as a dad that you turned out decent
But The past is the past so that's where we'll leave it
(Chorus - Dave the Fave)
Dunno what you been up to but I hope you been well
I know it's been hell - well,
it could always be worse but we don't have to let it be,
so just let it be (x2)
(Verse 3 - DTF)
(Hey) How old are we now? (Too old for this shit)
Yeah, I feel that one hundred percent
Look, I got my problems and you got yours too
so why the hell we wanna add more to
We could solve this over whiskey - let me pour two
We should really think about it
Look, we need more food for thought
Only way to achieve that is talk
I'll forget it all, dog - look, it's your move
(Verse 3 - MCMD)
Let the bygones be bygones that's what I'm on
Been trying to build I just need more pylons
to execute been looking to restitute this friendship
get mended, forget how things ended
(Verse 3 - DTF)
Here's to new beginnings, it's never too late
Power of positivity - it's a New Day
A new age - it's cool to talk it out
Yo, I know you got my number so just give me a shout - I'm out
(Chorus - Dave the Fave)
Dunno what you been up to but I hope you been well
I know it's been hell - well,
it could always be worse but we don't have to let it be,
so just let it be (x2)

Don't Worry About Me
02:48
|
|||
(Intro - Dave the Fave)
I used to wanna get away
Far far as I could go away
Now I'm tryna find a way
Wish I would've just stayed
But as you grow
You gotta do you, you know?
Life's complicated but without you
I never would've made it
(Verse 1 - MCMD)
I'm somebody to somebody this I know
Step on stage, when I walk in my home
They're screaming my name but it's only my own Kids
Doing a kart wheel and training for show biz
You know that feeling when you leave from your favorite place
like what if I stayed, I'm coming back anyways
another minute I'm gone is another minute I wasted
dang it! just for entertainment?
I'm coming home like it's the last thing I'll ever do
I'd freeze to death just to defrost next to you
It's not a quest to prove, I felt destitute
From the moment that I left the coop. coo
Can't pretend that this isn't self-serving
I could earn much better earning if I learned a trade
but as soon as I'm off of this stage
I'm coming back home to the place we stay
(Chorus - DTF)
Don't worry about me
I promise I'll be back, even if it's around three
Nothin shady - I'm just tryna make these ends meet
so the food on the table is plenty (x2)
(Verse 2 - DTF)
Your boy done came up
from times I made up
make-believe crowds
at home who raised up the noise
when I performed 'Moment of Truth'
Found two stars in my gang, so we premiered in the booth
Music, school, and a day job
took me around the world, I would never stray far
cause you always told me:
"Don't go out, don't party
and be sure to come home and say
hi to your mom please"
Pops, please - you think I wouldn't listen?
Okay, maybe I got a few drinks in
but listen, I can't contain the way I glisten
and I thank you for never trippin
over what I do, and now
What do I do without you?
You taught me strength, so I got you
I promise you one thing,
no matter where I go in life
I'll always come home to kiss mom goodnight
(Chorus)
Don't worry about me
I promise I'll be back, even if it's around three
Nothin shady - I'm just tryna make these ends meet
so the food on the table is plenty
Don't worry about me
I promise I'll be back, even if it's around three
Nothin shady - I'm just tryna make these ends meet
so the food on the table is plenty
Now let's eat
(Outro)
I used to wanna get away
Far far as I could go away
Now I'm tryna find a way
Wish I would've just stayed
But as you grow
You gotta do you, you know?
Life's complicated but without you
I never would've made it

Forget the Chorus
03:54
|

(Intro - Dave the Fave)
You are now listening to Jason D - Dedicated Servers
Oh yeah, feels good to be home!
(Verse - DTF)
We back at it, rippety rappin like Art Maddox
so forget the chorus, Matt - let's attack it
like we haven't rapped in ages and make this one
for the rap diehards
My brain's been fried like Frylock's
Pass the eyedrops, my eyes bloodshot cause I'm tired
The situations in this country are dire
American Nightmare, it's all on fire
I wish it was Cody but it's liars
From politicians to businesses
Crazy how we see now how twisted it is
Ever since the school history books
taught us about heroes - they were actually crooks
in castles - so '02; outdated
Truth behind lies - why do you think kids listen to rap lines
by rappers you despise but
don't be fooled by the disguises and lies from these funny guys
(Verse - MCMD)
Hidden from frame, invisible walls
get on the track stay in your lane and the people will call
What was that? I'm over here, what'd you overhear?
yeah we're underground but overall we're upper-tier
So I guess we're less than dirt
I'll be a worm carve a path and bless the earth
rest assured I won't rest till my message is heard
but what is it worth a blessing ignored ends up a curse
I wrote in permanent ink, a throwaway line
I've repeated for 20 years how lucky am I?
I'm like rip van winkle finally awake
Been a hell of a dream but was it all a mistake? nah
We don't make mistakes or wack tracks
We bring this track back, for heads with backpacks
from 23 til, they put me in a field
I'll say what I feel most you rappers just be lacking skills
(Verse - DTF)
Dedicated, even when he's by himself
Mugen and Dave even when he's by himself
That's the squad mindset that keeps us timeless...
...or do we keep time like Timex
by keeping the beat
since '04, never skipped a beat
Even kids hear us now say "yeet"
Once deadbeat - now we're the Elite,
and we got a Matt so we're hard to delete
Hard to defeat like an SNK boss
That's what they think and I SMH ya'll
We ain't bad guys - we done BEEN tryna shine
light on new guys but look who it is, guys
It is I, once again, alongside Matt and Spin Master Mugen
They can't do the job they signed up for
so we knock it out the park even when we're bored
(Verse - MCMD)
I've been rapping so long that my tracks made new tracks
Like remix my oldest, I'll still rock a show with no notice
my dad jeans a neckbeard and i'll be the dopest
rapper on the mic an appetite for afterlife
we dead I see A T E D
I ain't got to spell it out when these kids don't read
can't, won't, will, I could give a fuck about some road kill
no chill, see us going 50 down a snow hill
Real Calvin and Hobbes ambiance, ill be honest
I owe my life to my accomplice
Thick as thieves we flip a beat and split the cheese
serve the streets like we working out at Micky D's
But I ain't rapping for minimum wage
This isn't a phase, been performing since an innocent age
Entertain every time that we step on the stage
Dedicated to serve, yeah it's all in the name
(Verse - DTF)
And whether you know or don't know it
I don't really care cause I'm gonna keep going
Keep it kinda private so if I don't really show it,
I'm telling you now - thank you, and quote it
cause when the kid's dead and gone and moved on beyond
the number one thing is you know I'm fond
of everyone along the way who showed me the ways
Mask on or off, my people's never stray
(Verse - MCMD)
Wild as the Everglades, we never hesitate
Walk on stage the tag champs we heavyweights
I never bend the knee unless I meditate
Wipe this slate clean and start another page
I'm like a conduit, I put my mind to it
And let the flow of a monsoon hit, rainy season
catch em rapping for any reason
But never with a backup track that shit is treason

Dedicated
02:50
|
|||
(Intro - MCMD)
Ayo, this one goes out to everyone who stayed dedicated
How you feel right now, Dave?
(Verse 1 - Dave the Fave)
Being in public - that's overrated
but you know David, your boy stays dedicated
I used to wanna "make it" - airquotes,
now I make it everyday upstairs yo
It being the songs, see, for so long, I had it all wrong
Funny how things change with age, I just wanna go home
and focus on the craft, forget about the cash
Being dedicated was never exclusive to rap
(Verse 1 - MCMD)
I know some losers who rap real nice in a tight fitted
the type who pick up mic "alright hit it!"
fresh out the ward, you know committed
but after every show they don't know where their damn kid is
Production or in function never fuck with a dead beat
dedicated to providing whatever my kids need
chasing their dreams before chasing my own
our rhymes are for bedtime and for counting our toes
(Chorus - DTF)
Whether downtown or locked down,
we never knocked down cause we be (dedicated, dedicated, dedicated, dedicated)
We don't miss
We look forward to hearing this again (dedicated, dedicated, dedicated, dedicated)
Are they dead? Or are they dedicated
Let me hear you say it (dedicated, dedicated, dedicated, dedicated)
No matter what goes down
do not back down, just be (dedicated, dedicated, dedicated, dedicated)
(Verse 2 - MCMD)
Yeah I stay dedicated, dead and reincarnated
just to listen to my track and to ask em who had made it
I guess I'm a fanatic for some elegant prose
get that bump in your trunk like an elephant's nose
(Verse 2 - DTF)
Welcome to the show: 2020
Now that's a dedicated circus, and it's not even funny
but the best comeback stories come from shit shows
so don't look at Windows, try to look out windows
(Verse 2 - MCMD)
Disconnect from net it was all a mistake
Dedicate your time to making the world a better place
for the ones that you love, sit and bask in the sun
and just be amazed that someday it will all burn up
(Verse 2 - DTF)
So burn one up, toast up, or whatever you like
Don't forget to enjoy life throughout this strife
Look, it doesn't even matter if I got the residuals
You showed me nothing but love - the feeling is mutual
and when I move on, play this at my funeral and say it
(Chorus - DTF)
(dedicated, dedicated, dedicated, dedicated)
We don't miss
We look forward to hearing this again (dedicated, dedicated, dedicated, dedicated)
Are they dead? Or are they dedicated
Let me hear you say it (dedicated, dedicated, dedicated, dedicated)
No matter what goes down
do not back down, just be (dedicated, dedicated, dedicated, dedicated)
(Outro - DTF)
Hey, just be
Just be
Just be
Listen
Just be
Jason D
