im awfully awful, but im righteously right
and i rise like hot air above temptation
so listen to my narration
and join me in the creation of a nation where everyone has their place and are complacent
with the people who live adjacent, that is to say next to them
if people stopped by instead of texting friends
and strived to dive head first into life
took pride in deciding to scream
"hey im alive,
i could be dead i couldve died,
i couldve been stuck inside deprived of all the finer things in life"
so when you finally decide to take pride in survivin realize this
living thing's alright
remember this
im awfully awful, but im righteously right man

let me hear you scream
shits about to get mean
similar to the hulk
giant like jolly green
spicy like wasabi peas
all these people bother me
tryin to suceed
while ya cryin like a toddler
who ate too much cobbler
now you've got a belly ache
not tryin to make hits
of the variety that nelly make
no band aid on my face
kool aid in the vase
police raid, high speed chase
but me they can't find
like Gosling in Drive
minutes i need five
and the clock
it starts now to your demise
to summarize
you better start runnin
or you're gonna die
rhyme hotter than the summertime
lava, or a fresh cup of java
thats drank up in the morning
5 hour energy keeps me from yawnin
pawtucket was the city i was born in
rhode island's the state
october 18th was the date
so mark it in your planner
rhyme cleaner than danny tanner
and please erect a banner
in my name
respect the manners
im fresh cut like grass
grab a tall glass
drink up my root beer flows real fast
then belch em out
and write em down
kid im tryin to help you out
gain clout
show you what pains bout
make it rain like a rain cloud
me and the professor
are teachin all the lessons
no pressure but you gotta ace the test
if you wanna be impressin me
get your rap g.e.d.
study up the science
and you gotta know your history
and of course the math
cuz you're talkin to its master
calculate faster than a cheetah
thats runnin through a pasture
rape your ears like a pastor
after sunday classes
ray ban enscripted on my glasses
script shit classic
stretch minds like elastic
but they keep retractin back
and goin backwards
i keep on movin
expandin the gap between us
like the teeth on a beaver
im a butcher your a steak
where'd i put my cleaver?
scorin like luck to fleener
hoppin out the cutlass, '96
velvet on the seats
db keep tearin up the beats
that emenation keeps feedin in a steady stream
championship winnin team
live we're livin is a dream
success beginnin is the theme
let me hear you scream

i stay relaxed
take deep breaths in deep baths
terry cloth towel around my ass
surround myself with class
cause im such a classy dude
reakin havoc over tracks when im in a rappin mood
the mathematician is a wordsmith phrase magician
swift sentence surgeon in the midst of a resurgence
freein' hip hop from its burden
wishin to provide a gift to the ear drums
over the snaps, kicks, and snare drums
furrow brows with my austere puns
and provoked wows since year one
got feet tappin with the neat rappin since ted danson was on cheers
and hanson had mmm bop
ive got real good credit
so i accrued my fame
helps my crew's insane
though we're playin a losin game
thought of catchin boos on stage
puts me in an abusin frame
of mind like a youth
who's afraid of tooth decay
and what losers say
hop in the booth and spray
words in my cruisin way
as if my egos not bruised and shit
its what you gotta do to be a hit
sell your soul to the record executive
and execute the ghost writer's lyrics
other people's thoughts out your larynx
im not about that
ive got my own hijinks im bound to
tighter than the chains of cuban linx
and i don't care what rick rubin thinks

after the tracks killed
hit em with the luxury tax bills
luxury raps, new era caps with the black bills
B on the upper, cut checks
put bets on me stayin fresh, thats a safe one
cheffin it like raekwon
message ring loud as an alarm
sound off with the threats like its a pest stompin contest
with my nikes i Just Do It all in jest
sit back and ingest what i spit lest you forget
how real it is, feel it is
my duty to educate the youth
high class insight out the booth
rap(wrap) tight as a noose
never lose, snack on tracks like scooby doo
ruh ro!
army of beat wreckers let go
arms disconnected at the elbow
couldnt hold on, im connected from the get go
save money like geico
go so hard, hardly any effort
like tom hardy snappin batmans back in half like a ritz cracker
crack kids in their jaws stay away from crack kids
stick with battin practice, self inflict pats on my back
pick and pattern myself after raps
heard in the aftermath, after math class
relax back with the crew in the black cat
styles never half mast
blunt wrapped, better pass that
or get smacked so forcefully
eyes roll back into your forehead
be thankful i dont come at your ankles
let the cinder blocks dangle
and toss you in the bay
obey everything i say or get sprayed at
fill you with holes like a bagel
you know i betcha that kesha
racked up quite a dental bill
from brushin her teeth with jack
and snackin on mornin after pills
ive got the clean teeth
mean stacks of kief
this my rap masterpiece
peace be to phood. for the mean beats
fuji for the scenery
d.d for the greenery
db he's always brinin the obscenitys
im old school, like mr feeny be
and when this boy meets world
you better be on my team or see
scenes reserved for green screens
cause screams, like i asked for in the first song
bringin hip hop back from death
i didnt see it in the hearse long
real articulate, i could be president
in present tense a resident of high intelligence
for hire got my talents for rent
find a balance in a genre bent up out of shape
one people love to hate
fit like a glove and make
tracks that make hips shake and gyrate, like the gears in a machine
bringin tears to the eyes of the mainstream
its me

i tend to type my lyrics
cuz when i write its illegible
i guess thats what you get when you're half man, half incredible
x2
its decibel
here to rip off mainsteam rappers testicles
and riff off mainstream practices so people hear the raps that i am rappin
hear my insight, mics gettin slammed like a gronk spike
diction like piggy when hes grippin on the conch tight
"let me speak", physique is ancient greek
olive oil my body so i shine like my technique
known to drink the scotch, neat
keep shit cleaner than bosley
rock an ugly sweater like cosby
curb stomp bitches who act snobby around me
pour the sound over my sleepin body, and drown me
time keeps on slippin, passin
no ones got time to hold doors
im doin alright, thanks for askin
im tom hanks just gettin into actin
lloyd banks gettin into rappin
im finn and jake when duty calls im jumpin into action
and when i do you're ancient history
out the game a week already missin me
your eyes gettin misty like misty and brock's did
when i wrecked em at the water and the rock gym
then laid in the finger roll in short shorts like john stockton
free will kinda like the movie with the whale
the chance that i dont fail same the chance a ginger's pale
x2
sippin ginger ale, canada dry
never runnin out of stamina guy
a young gun who's well of rhymes is never runnin dry
like the tears of crocodile
flow similar to the nile
other silly rappers in denial
cashmere two-ply, you gotta get behind me style
in the streets we're runnin wilder
than berry pop tarts
know i got heart, not on the top chart, but still know what i drop's smart
im openin up a rhyme chop shop
sellin all the spare parts
never sloppy, cruisin in the '96 jalopy
seats the color of wine, made from grapes fresh off of the vine
a sign this guy defines what it means to be fine
lethal injections to your spine
to make you feel ill
no kiddin, got a pocket full of "plan b" pills
liam neeson, im taken my particular set of skills
if you give me a reason send you runnin to the hills
blastin off like a rocket
rockin the cream cheese smeared locket
like andy milonakis
got a problem? drop it
or get drop kicked ill make sure you cant walk quick
now who wouldve thought id make it this far
album sits among stars i admired from afar
x2
destroyin the hasbeens
like jaffar in aladdin
you have my permission to hop on my bandwagon
or onto my ship of which, im the captain
fire the cannons check the mast, let the master raise the sails
decibel's divin off roofs into hay bales
im an assasin
in another class
and this shit is classic
gift wrapped up in plastic
rip it off, toss it in your boombox and go spastic

allow me to interject a little bit of intellect
a brief intermission
flow's far from intermittent
yours is useless
like hands shoved into mittens
even naysayers be admittin
the shit this word sprayers spittin
is hittin like ronaldinho kickin
back in the jacuzzi
excuse me
ill talk slower, i know its easy to lose me
vocab i use cause mind scabbin confusion
cabin fever abusin
glues and aerosol cans
tracks too short for a chorus from sarah falcon
so please come back if you want a second helpin
like "can i have some more sir?"
crushin competition like a pestle and a mortar
all these second place rhymers are wastin precious seconds
poor imitations tryin to beckon my essence
soda pop flows
injectin beats with effervescence
needed to support my presence
didnt catch the reference?
then kneel to the king
kiss the pinky ring
and dont try and swing at me or call me and asshole behind my back
or end up drowning in the moat behind my castle
snackin on a poison apple wont keep the doctor away
put on a proper display
causin building to topple and sway
theyre on the decay
as the beats fadin away...
one more thing;
fuck ya'll like the girl in fifty shades of gray

chorus:
so what does it mean to earn the title mc?
burn lots of green trees? always rock a clean tee? long chain made of gold?
tell the greatest story told, thats what im after
livin happily as a rapper
happily ever after
spit bars got ya goin ghost like casper
hide under a sheet when there's expectations to meet
my expectations to succeed
in a nation filled with greed
pockets full of miracle grow, im sproutin from a seed
see more green than chlorophyll
or your bag of weed
playin freeze tag with the game, cant move until its freed
by me, db
and there's no goo, so no one's safe
straddlin the line of love and hate
try to find and to create
a style of rhymes to satiate
the eager minds of the youth
with the content that's great
ideas big juicy grapes
while yours are just raisins
see the hands raisin
chantin bout the decibel craze, im sweet like a craisin
refesco like fresca
comin out on top if you're puttin me to the testa
im the number one contesta
take a siesta then fiesta
that's a nap before the party, ya know i gotta stay fresha
word texture conjures images of ancient architechture
mediterranean skylines
im writin ill rhymes or ill die tryin
startin quarterback, while ya others just sidelinin
lyin to yourself, carry a blanket around like linus
lines crazier than the basslines in primus
im optimus prime, only reside with the finest
chorus
happily ever after
life is just a fairy tale so im fillin the holy grail with pale ale
wail up at the blue moon, its never too soon
to become a rap tycoon, so thats what imma do
kick it with spongebob and patrick at the goo lagoon
spin words round your head like a fuckin hula hoop
round the waist of a hula dance
who's the answer?
well it has to be F.V.
french vanilla, can't no one contest me
im bobby flay you know i've got the recipe
on the bay named the chesapeake
eatin crab cakes on the yacht that's where mc decibel be

rappin crazy and duranged
not stoppin till im unchained like django
peace be to tarantino
velvet sweatsuits like im related to cee lo green
how do i be so mean?
because i dont have a conscience
in between my two ears
and been spittin nonsense
since about two years old
still make the honor roll
music's got body and soul
like coleman hawkins
my offspring will often be gawked at by paparazzi
ill take the kings mattress
you can sleep on the boxspring
fucked in the head i just retired from boxing
talkin shit like i really think im the best
sentences they turn and twist so much sayin them makes my mouth stick together like a spoon of jiff swimmin like a tuna fish movin to the tune of this music got a gift gonna use it and not gonna abuse it
or be another mc
spittin shit mundane
or be another half baked product wrapped in cellophane
i actually put thoughts into my raps
perform lyrical gymnastics
perfect 10 on the backflip
im dancin over beats and enhancin them
handin out disappointed glances like chris hanson when you cant keep it in your pants r
raisin my hand ive always got the answer
so sarcastic in my banter
takes about a minute before people become angered
screamin, "jesus! why's he so facetious? i asked for a piece of his mind now i feel like my eardrums are bleeding! as if i needed another reason to keep smokin weed and overeatin!"
i shrug it off
i dont know the reason these people are tweakin
i guess its just my manner of speakin
or somethin'

whoa
why are you actin so desperate
let me be and usher and show your ass to the exit
filled with a desire to drop tabs of acid
then start to spit fire and turn the masses to ashes
slap rappers so hard, heads spinnin on their axis
heads brimmin with ideas, i give you easy access
im off to hollywood, handful of backstage passes
im VIP , so im flyin there first class
the star of the honor classes
that means im smarter than your average kid at harvard
do it with no practice
im keepin up with the latest fashion
bringin elbow pads back into action
im just a fly cat who likes to tear shit up over kicks and some hi hats
a simple guy that cant tell a lie like mr washington
i cant deny that ill deprive you of oxygen
until you fall flat on your face
then watch the fans wave and stomp you in the dirt as im roundin third base
another walk off homer simposon like im never stayin sober
still got my diploma
20 years old and im still achievin over
you're old and wheezin on the sofa
im reachin any quota
then go meditate in my pagoda
do extreme yoga in a toga
caesar slumped over my shoulder
over, this song is
im imitatin yoda

im here to shred rappers
rip em into tatters
leavin souls shattered in the words of mick jagger
i dont mean to brag
but its a new age of hip hop: The DB Saga
so stop ,this shit aint made up
rappins in my genetic makeup
pennin more hits than taylor swift has had breakups
so wake up, or leave ya black and blue
like jackie in the dodger hat
got the message? roger that
never gonna cave under pressure
personality is an unbroken stream of succesful gestures
and i havent failed yet, green growin out my pockets like the head of a chia pet
bringin more pain than north koreans get
rap's new dictator
hip hop im your father
oh shit hes darth vader
a real mad man
oh shit! hes don draper
risin like water vapor
chorus:
so listen for a rise in the sound that im fishin for
hook, line, and sinker
spit
hooks, lines, and zingers
reel in the new fans
bait em in with the greatness, no matter what i do man
system is intelligent
on paper im like mario
a hero who saves the princess blastin through your stereo
i think that's how the story goes, never rappin boring poems
flaggin down the vocab the type to bring old glory home
ever stop and wonder why i rock scarves of cashmere,
and other people spend their last years as a cashier?
lookin at their bank accounts like
"why isn't their cash here? cuz i couldnt act faster or make it as a rapper like decibel...compared to him im nothing but a vegetable, make me into a crudite, that seems fair and equitable"
im standing on my pedastal
chest puffed out, pecs are impeccable
figures of my body
OH MAN, are they collectible
see them go on ebay for amounts that are commendable
im headin to the confessional to mend and make amends for talkin shit until my friendships come to an end
then make up new ones,
live in a land of pretend
its make believe, im king friday
or maybe burger king because ive gotta have it my way
quick to make like a bird and fly away

i devour books
despite all the sour looks cuz ignorance is bliss but i dont want a part of it
i want the knowledge information keeps a man honest
which honestly isnt a trait thats common among artists
now what was i saying when i started?
i wanna be the smart kid, the smart ass sittin in the back of class slingin wise cracks at the teacher faster than mashin down the gas pedal of a beamer
im a big dreamer, a strong believer in firm procedure
the scientific method is something that's battle tested
gotta have a good breakfast
especially when the night before was reckless
break the fast , go back to jumpin fools like checkers, check this:
king me.
im blossoming like flowers in the spring be
im hot, im boiling
im bubblin up buttercup
cant build me up, powerpuff
im not an easy one to butter up

hop on the mic with no fear
its early in this stormy journey
still appears that nobody can burn me
athletic linguistics, fans doin the bernie
burnouts showin up to shows to hear me turn these phrases
in different ways
cause amazement
and blank gases
jaws agape, and whinin, like squashed grapes
see me watch tape
like a quarterback
take the snap, pass the mic off
sit back and relax and watch the magic happen
got dramatic flair
im actively fantastic
cut from cashmere fabric
you're polyester blend
i know last year was tragic
this year im on the mend
you pretend to follow trends to make friends
i make amends
transcend what others recommend
comin up around the bend like CCR
but its revival of the hip hop
and im providin CPR
chorus:
de la whoa
the years they come and go
as sure as the skys blue of the wind blows
look we may surprise you with the new flows
throwin old conventions out the window
D-WREK:
de la whoa, seems im wakin from a dream
cuz the best things in life still remain unseen
got a team that would die for the kid
got some weed thatll take you to the sky with the kid
magic carpet, you could fly with the kid
in the fast lane speedin don't collide with the kid
if you tell me youre the best you probably lied to the kid
boy wonder from a place down under
where the city dont sleep, wont catch me in a slumber
weather's hot, tank tops in the summer
imma rasta and a lover
better check it
bong hits for breakfast
d-wrek's wreckin records
as expected recollect it
wait a second
im a lover but dont mess with me
even teachers dont test me
get a little bit testy
goin nuts, blowin up
middle east
but you know i eat beats
and the beast gotta feast
no jordans when i rock 16's
pristine's what i mean
fresh cut, pressed clean
no money, but some green in my levi jeans
when you catch me on the scene, im schoolin dudes like the dean
what goes around comes around like
a ring ding ding
hop in, 12 rounds with the king
i do it real big , talkin yao ming
floatin like a butterfly, so you know im gonna sting
told you once told you twice
man it aint a damn thing
im the best when im spittin
off the top or written
pop the compact disc in
and take a quick listen
de la whoa
when we rip systems systematically
and casually emphatically
please dont be mad at me
or theres gonna be a few casualties
eat ya up like an edible
goin nuts
straight testicles with mc decibel
we dont need no spectacles, we all see you're trash like receptacles
and imma end this shit quick
while you still look respectable
im higher than a pedestal, impeccable
so please let us in like a vegetable
chorus
its on to the next one
im quick to diminish with the words
hear the haters chirpin
to me theyre fuckin birds
this year ill put the work in
next year success occurs
im a straight flush, while ya holdin two pair
after me like a gold rush
leave ya legs crushed and your vision impaired
leave ya runnin scared
the precision of decisions i declare
may have that effect
cuz my lectures reflect me respect for the genre i protect
stackin the deck so its always in my favor
last time i checked french vanilla was my flavor
last time i checked i was the hip hop savior
rock tasty concotions served up for you to savor
their taste, just give me a snare and some bass
and ill lay any track that you attacked to waste
post haste sweet like the donut glaze
eyes glazed over from the haze
got me seein waves
behave like i belong in a cave
so follow the road that i paved
and the path that i carved
cuz its hip hop i saved with the last of these bars

i stand tall
like im walkin on stilts all day
say words in the milkiest of ways
in the world in the galaxy
my brain where all the talent be
always galant never goofus,
doofus thats a fallacy,
stitch rhymes so tight
im weavin up a tapestry
of persian descent,
close the curtains
so much power in my person
ive got extra for rent,
extrovert
turn introvert once the paper and the pen
blend, look within to send thoughts
often hard to comprehend
comprable to shit in the old testament
thats a testament to my intelligence
and how its heaven sent
always see me, sippin green tea
by the bucket, with any luck
ill let you carry my luggage
up the steps to the top floor
of the biltmore
till your tired and worn
been inspired
since befofe you were born
chorus:
spinnin in a whirlpool
of old school sound
spinnin like a spool
of thread being wound
spinnin in a world so cruel
a downward spiral
spinnin all my records
the sound is going viral
impressed like music
onto vinyl
when im stressed just use it
to kill tracks
do shit homicidal
crashin on the shore
like the tidal in a full moon
whoop ya like your mother
with the wood spoon
always in a good mood
dude, the pressure just eludes me
lovable like dr huxtable
and rudy
writin songs for the children
im blume, comma, judy
dont judge me, or superfudge me
or get split like a dutch master
by the clutch rapper
known as mc decibel
steppin in the tux, dapper
think your out of luck, slacker
i just past ya
while you were passed out
in the back of my packard
out in ireland
sippin on guiness
like where they keep the records
destroy a beat
pull a hit single out of the wreckage
i reckon ill be first
youll come in second
chorus
demand not to become a man
kicked around
got expanded understanding
of how nouns and kicks compound
into a new sound
that your bound
to come around to
so untie the chains that youre bound to
a fuckin solider like kellen winslow
cam brady do anything to win though
shatter minds like bricks through car windows
spit cold wind flows
that freeze shit quick like when cold wind blows
blow up like a ford pinto
while you cant afford the limo
not enough beans
word streams out my mouth
are the composition of dreams
teens assemble on my lawn in teams
waitin for their mainstream vaccines
dont stop me now
im bumpin queen on the 18th green
clean shades
and faded jeans thats my daily routine
know what i mean?

chorus 1 (mc animation):
ever since i was young
i wanted my time in the sun
until the summer is done, im waitin for autumn to come
chorus 2 (decibel):
as spring turns to summer
and summer turns to autumn
i aughta be happy but im hittin rock bottom
thinkin bout the tick tock of the clock
no way to stop it
life is like a mountain find a way to stand atop it
sleet pounds the streets
wave goodbye to the waves
and sweet summer treats
somehow ice cream floats dont taste so nice next to spreadsheets
schools back in session
back to books and lessons
no more late night sess sessions
then my fright lessens
this scholar can at least acknowledge
that the acquisition of knowledge
through college will help touch top dollar
well
memories of summer i hold near and dear to my heart
but now my life starts
adulthood grows near and my future grows clear
losing my childhoods a fear but as it's end grows near
i know that next year as the seasons blur together
colder grows the weather
leaves fall off the trees
change color, dry up, and crunch beneath my feet
its time to put these memories behind me
breathe deep, embrace the future
and make some new ones to keep

remember growin up on woodhaven road
always was behavin kept the snot out my nose
dressed to impress not a spot on my clothes
hot dogs at the pawsox, watchin the future pros
started to think, like them
in the blink of an eye i could be the guy
i desired, set goals then climb them
have a spine, dont spend a life on the decline
just shine, reach the climax.
spit my fly raps, that keep eyes wide
like the first time seeing a movie
at the imax. live life to its fullest
dont sit back and watch. spit bullets
hit the gas, kick it up a notch
bypass the negative thoughts
keep it on the up
if you believe in yourself
its more than enough
to lift yourself above the muck and the gray
whenlife starts to suck
say fuck it, stop and say
chorus (sarah falcon):
i just wanna aspire
be someone to admire
set the game on fire
reach higher than the sky
just wanna aspire
be someone to admire
reach higher than the sky
now here i go about to start verse two
fastforward a few years, startin high school
first day i never thought id fit in
so i slid in to a tight knit group
never clipped my strings loose
never broke out the mold
rather croak, then be bold
and have my story told, i thought id grow old
with no one ever knowin there was a side of me
than resided in me, till i decided to set it free
then i finally did, smile broke out above my chin
this was when my life was ready to begin
felt so good to not bottle shit up
not im throttlin, tearin shit up
leavin others in dust
with my rose colored goggles, turnin the toggle switch up
into the on position, im off on my mission
to let these vocal emissions
come to fruition
done wishin man
