Lil Dicky - Russell Westbrook On a Farm Lyrics
Ain't no doubt about it, shit is coming
And I'm just praying that Lil Dicky love it
Always told myself that this the type of shit I wanted
I was being honest, even made a promise
Not with anybody else, this was inner conscious
I know, I still got a lot of shit to conquer
I hope that ain't even my concern though
You know I'll be working till I get what I deserve
Whatever totems I get personally you know I'ma earn those
This ain't even 'bout some shit up on a checklist
This about the fact that I'm about to test this
I'm about to figure out what my best is
I can't avoid it because now ya' boy invested
And I ain't gotta a choice except to smile and accept it
Pretty reckless, pretty restless 'cause
To come the second my attempt was done, and yeah, I guess
To some extent I was correct because I'm getting buzz
But now I'm 'bout to be ubiquitous, look it up
Yeah, or that's at least what I'm assuming
But as alluded to reality is looming and
Now ya' dude about to make a move and take the truth
And hope to god that when he through
That what he thought about is proven
But honestly, I'm not afraid that it's delusion
I'm hot enough to where I know it's not illusion
But obviously I been finding this confusing
This ain't even close to what I thought I would be doing
Don't get me wrong, I was born to be big
But I always figured it would be the comedy thing
So I started rapping just to see what drama it brings
What big dogs from sitcoms would holler at me
And as the time past, I rhymed faster, lines crafted
Was high class as I mastered my craft, and
Goddamn, who'da thought it get like this
Back in twenty-ten music wouldn't make that list
I'm talking top five-to-ten strengths, with no winks
I would not lie, my pen dry, with no ink
Or, that's at least what I thought 'til I clawed and scratched the pen 'til I saw a line draw
Then I coulda let bygones be bygones
But I really wanted to rhyme till my line drawn
Like where the fuck is my peak at?
Not Brown but I make it pop, then I beat that
Not crowned yet, but I don't think I decreed that
Not loud, but you know I'm ready to tweet that
I just really hope I'm ready to be that
Now you seeing where D's at
'Cause even though I'm softer than a tissue
I ain't nothing to sneeze at
I'm smarter, where fuck ya' degrees at
And I ain't harder but I'm hotter homie, where da fuck ya degrees at
I'm 'bout to come in and desaturate
The chic rap today and evaporate
The feedback I hate, I elaborate
At a later date
But I'm getting off the point with the player hate
What the fuck was I saying, oh yeah
I'm kind of a slave
To my ambition, I ain't quittin' till my shit is appraised
And I admit it, I predict that where I finish is crazy
But that just means that it's further away
So, Burd about to work until he turn in his grave
It's really burdensome when earning something's fun for the day
But I'm concerned about da' burning out from upping the stakes
I'm always uppin' the stakes
I'm taking dinner meetings in New York, always up for the steaks
We exploring the discussion of great
They assuring me that when I'm more elite I'll be secure and amazed
But this isn't insecurity mang…
Like this the opposite of that, confidence in fact
My biggest problem is I can't honestly relax
Because inside of me a damn odyssey enacts
And I made a promise that I can't be the body
That's stopping it, think I need a lobotomy
Lil Dicky the prophecy, little bit of anomaly, not a commodity
Not a façade, or a lotta da Comedy prodigies
Commonly brought up wit Dicky
Feelin' weird, lemme think of an analogy
Just imagine for a second what if Russell Westbrook never knew his own mentality
Grew up on a farm where the biggest commonality
Was people that conform to the ruralest localities
To Russell though it was nuffin' but normality
And he really nice up on the plow in actuality
Everybody liked the kid and dug his personality
And so da mutuality was somewhat rationality
So then ya man made a plan of practicality
Not even a plan, it was more of a formality
Get a little land and attend to its vitality
Then raise a little fam 'til it all became finality
The strategy was just to stay in the course
And do ya chores, when ya' happy ya' ain't need to abort
Never explored nothing less he rollin' round on his horse
Then one day he was up on his horse
That's when he went past the porch, the path he normally
Passes forth was fast and short, was after more
Went faster north, amassed a lure to master more
And then discovered the court
He like ya! Let me down Tim
Hopped off, lookin' puzzled at the round rim
Saw a ball up in the corner on the ground then
Russell started dribbling and giggling astounded
Then he shot a brick and then a brick and then he downed it
And when he hit it Russell listened to the fuckin' sound friction
Up in a swish make and he was confounded
Because he knew that he had found him
But right now; it was still for the fun
Just a way to kill the time when the farming was done
Then the walking turned to running, and the hoppin' turned to jumping
And dunking, and Russell had to keep coming
Because the young'n was fucking disgusting and loving it
Running it, all of a sudden the public started to come in abundance and fuck wit him
'Cause he was butter and hungry, hung jury
'Cause stories of glory, not normally for people like him
Then the word got around up to ESPN
And they flying Russell down to compete in the gym
Bunch a grown men lookin' to belittle the kid
Because to those men, ball was the reason to live
And the G.O.A.T.S. they been all in since they was kids
So this goat owning mafucka look like a dick
And even know Russell knows that, he doesn't submit
He just chills with a grin
And then the game start, and this muthafucka take charge
Make it rain, hard D up on these bitches making children of men
Lookin' better than his predecessors ever could get
Turned the animosity to respect
And then the Thunder called him
Said they heard a lot about the ballin'
Told him that they wanna get involved and
Showed him all the shit that you can get up in the league, it's so appalling
Oklahoma City in the autumn, hella pretty
Awesome, errbody laud him
Erry-bitty lookin' like they really fucking fallin'
Condominium is so legitimate it's sprawling
And this muthafucka on the court straight ballin'
Cash all up in that ass, lol'ing at the past like
Where the fuck would I be at up on the other path, right?
If I never stumbled 'pon the game then think of that life
Shit, who taking care of my farm?
Who taking care of my farm?
Who taking care of my farm?
I really loved that farm, uh
CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE
Five-hundred million now that's a pound cake
According to Jay Z, and Drake…
But greatness ain't about cake

I hope, that ain't even ma concern tho
You know I'll be working till I get what I deserve

And I ain't gotta a choice except to smile and accept it
Pretty reckless, pretty restless cuz
I've lived my life expecting love
To come the second my attempt was done
And yea I guess to some extent I was correct because I'm getting buzz
But now I'm bout to be ubiquitous, look it up

CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE, CAKE
500 million now that's a pound cake
According to Jay Z, and Drake,
But greatness ain't about cake
Both Jewish
This isn’t on Apple Music and I’m sad
just figuring this out
Song go sooo hard!
The Jew fears the indoor chicken farmer
‘who takin care of my farm?’
Who’s listening in 1967?
Feel like the album cover shows a lot of envy. Bird's not looking at his eyes, hes looking at his hair and ultimately his mind. Or maybe he looks there because its familiar 🤔
So Good As Always! 12/12/2019
#B1FREQUENCY that's the date of my birthday
Almost forgot to listen to this today
" But Greatness ain't about cake." Give me chills. So good. Man deserves legit respect.
“Softer than a tissue but I ain’t nothin to sneeze at” 🤧

- Little Dicky The Prophecy
I will still be listening to this in 2020 no doubt
Why is this not on Spotify?
unreal underground king listened to this when I was 16 or 17 now at 23 its like damn this shit is even tighter
Still here lil dicky
ubiquitous = "present, appearing, or found everywhere"
Lil dicky > logic
Real words working worldly wandering why we went wrong with wisdom wishing when i should be praying.
4:16 i have no idea what hes trying to say
He is comparing his life to Russel westbound the basketball player as a metaphor.
Hes describing Russell Westbrook on his horse following what he generally does everyday. And then he found the basketball court...
This is real man, felt that. Few rap songs get in my feelings but damn..
I literally have a Dicky Pandora station, i need to sue them for not giving me this shit.
Spotify it please!
FUCKING GOOSE BUMPS BRO
Now we need a song, 2017 mvp Russ
Just keep your eyes closed and really listen to the song. Amazing.
November 2019?
6:10 is the best part
He needs to get a producer to make a beat that'll work for this freestyle so he can upload to to Spotify
I wonder what lil dicky farm was
This the song you gotta know if you wanna stan Dicky
If there was a Music Video for this song it will be in the 100 millions cause it is to hard
LD is speaking his truth.
I fucking need this song on Spotify
LYRICS!:
Ain’t no doubt about it, shit is coming
And I’m just praying that Lil Dicky love it
Always told myself that this the type of shit I wanted
I was being honest, even made a promise
Not with anybody else, this was inner conscious
Talking to my fucking self, das' a little bonkers
I know, I still got a lot of shit to conquer
I hope that ain't even my concern though
You know I’ll be working till I get what I deserve
Whatever totems I get personally you know I’ma earn those
This ain't even 'bout some shit up on a checklist
This about the fact that I’m about to test this
I’m about to figure out what my best is
I can't avoid it because now ya' boy invested
And I ain't gotta a choice except to smile and accept it
Pretty reckless, pretty restless 'cause
I’ve lived my life expecting love
To come the second my attempt was done, and yeah, I guess
To some extent I was correct because I’m getting buzz
But now I’m 'bout to be ubiquitous, look it up
Yeah, or that’s at least what I’m assuming
But as alluded to reality is looming and
Now ya' dude about to make a move and take the truth
And hope to god that when he through
That what he thought about is proven
But honestly, I'm not afraid that it’s delusion
I’m hot enough to where I know it’s not illusion
But obviously I been finding this confusing
This ain’t even close to what I thought I would be doing
Don’t get me wrong, I was born to be big
But I always figured it would be the comedy thing
So I started rapping just to see what drama it brings
What big dogs from sitcoms would holler at me
And as the time past, I rhymed faster, lines crafted
Was high class as I mastered my craft, and
Goddamn, who’da thought it get like this
Back in twenty-ten music wouldn’t make that list
I’m talking top five-to-ten strengths, with no winks
I would not lie, my pen dry, with no ink
Or, that’s at least what I thought 'til I clawed and scratched the pen 'til I saw a line draw
Then I coulda let bygones be bygones
But I really wanted to rhyme till my line drawn
Like where the fuck is my peak at?
Not Brown but I make it pop, then I beat that
Not crowned yet, but I don’t think I decreed that
Not loud, but you know I’m ready to tweet that
I just really hope I’m ready to be that
Now you seeing where D’s at
'Cause even though I’m softer than a tissue
I ain't nothing to sneeze at
I’m smarter, where fuck ya' degrees at
And I ain't harder but I’m hotter homie, where da fuck ya degrees at
I’m 'bout to come in and desaturate
The chic rap today and evaporate
The feedback I hate, I elaborate
At a later date
But I’m getting off the point with the player hate
What the fuck was I saying, oh yeah
I’m kind of a slave
To my ambition, I ain't quittin' till my shit is appraised
And I admit it, I predict that where I finish is crazy
But that just means that it’s further away
So, Burd about to work until he turn in his grave
It’s really burdensome when earning something’s fun for the day
But I’m concerned about da' burning out from upping the stakes
I’m always uppin' the stakes
I’m taking dinner meetings in New York, always up for the steaks
We exploring the discussion of great
They assuring me that when I’m more elite I’ll be secure and amazed
But this isn’t insecurity mang…
Like this the opposite of that, confidence in fact
My biggest problem is I can't honestly relax
Because inside of me a damn odyssey enacts
And I made a promise that I can't be the body
That’s stopping it, think I need a lobotomy
Lil Dicky the prophecy, little bit of anomaly, not a commodity
Not a façade, or a lotta da Comedy prodigies
Commonly brought up wit Dicky
Feelin' weird, lemme think of an analogy
Just imagine for a second what if Russell Westbrook never knew his own mentality
Grew up on a farm where the biggest commonality
Was people that conform to the ruralest localities
To Russell though it was nuffin' but normality
And he really nice up on the plow in actuality
Everybody liked the kid and dug his personality
And so da mutuality was somewhat rationality
So then ya man made a plan of practicality
Not even a plan, it was more of a formality
Get a little land and attend to its vitality
Then raise a little fam 'til it all became finality
The strategy was just to stay in the course
And do ya chores, when ya' happy ya' ain't need to abort
Never explored nothing less he rollin' round on his horse
Then one day he was up on his horse
That’s when he went past the porch, the path he normally
Passes forth was fast and short, was after more
Went faster north, amassed a lure to master more
And then discovered the court
He like ya! Let me down Tim
Hopped off, lookin' puzzled at the round rim
Saw a ball up in the corner on the ground then
Russell started dribbling and giggling astounded
Then he shot a brick and then a brick and then he downed it
And when he hit it Russell listened to the fuckin' sound friction
Up in a swish make and he was confounded
Because he knew that he had found him
But right now; it was still for the fun
Just a way to kill the time when the farming was done
Then the walking turned to running, and the hoppin' turned to jumping
And dunking, and Russell had to keep coming
Because the young’n was fucking disgusting and loving it
Running it, all of a sudden the public started to come in abundance and fuck wit him
'Cause he was butter and hungry, hung jury
'Cause stories of glory, not normally for people like him
Then the word got around up to ESPN
And they flying Russell down to compete in the gym
Bunch a grown men lookin' to belittle the kid
Because to those men, ball was the reason to live
And the G.O.A.T.S. they been all in since they was kids
So this goat owning mafucka look like a dick
And even know Russell knows that, he doesn’t submit
He just chills with a grin
And then the game start, and this muthafucka take charge
Make it rain, hard D up on these bitches making children of men
Lookin' better than his predecessors ever could get
Turned the animosity to respect
And then the Thunder called him
Said they heard a lot about the ballin'
Told him that they wanna get involved and
Showed him all the shit that you can get up in the league, it’s so appalling
Oklahoma City in the autumn, hella pretty
Awesome, errbody laud him
Erry-bitty lookin' like they really fucking fallin'
Condominium is so legitimate it’s sprawling
And this muthafucka on the court straight ballin'
Cash all up in that ass, lol’ing at the past like
Where the fuck would I be at up on the other path, right?
If I never stumbled 'pon the game then think of that life
Shit, who taking care of my farm?
Who taking care of my farm?
Who taking care of my farm?
I really loved that farm, uh
this song is so great, just had a j on my window, and it was icecold. makes you really think about life.
shit i love it when rappers talkin about their hardships
Who else is here because of peridump
He sing me to sleep so I'm checking again lol
Always been a LD fan, its a shame i just found out about this song. Maybe its the chronics fault.
Good to know were still gonna be listening to this gem in 2020
Wow I keep going back every year
Song still bumbs! Who listening in 2043?
Bro this is amazing emotional just amazing
My mobilemode when I played the song : Please stop before I come out from this shit
Why do we keep making trash famous and idolizing garbage. From cardi b, nicki Minaj, 21 savage, lil dicky, migos, and every shitty rapper to help destroy our society, culture, and our future (children).
russell westbrook a NBA player
well i was born to be high af
4:28 'And then discovered the court. He like yo! Let me down Tim!' After listening to this song on repeat for weeks I suddenly figured out where this line comes from. In the movie Robots a poor dishwasher robot aspires to be an inventor and decides to leave the path that was paved out before him. One day he decides to leave his hometown in pursuit of meeting the world's greatest inventor and sets uit to infiltrate a ball where the big man is going to appear. He arrives at the gate of the court where the ball is taking place and yells to the gatekeeper Tim to let him in. By a single mention Dicky draws a parallel to the Russel Westbrook analogy and makes it work by using the other definition of court as a homonym. Damn genius
I’m mad at myself for just now discovering this. this is crazy 🤯🤯
No worries. no timeline when ur timeless
Can’t believe I forgot and haven’t heard this song in so long... used to listen to it multiple times a day for months in end. Either way, Lil dicky lyricism, rhyme, wordplay and story telling is second to non
"Cake, cake cake cake cake 500,000,000 now that's a pound cake, according to Jay-Z and Drake, but greatness ain't about cake." That line right there says it all.
6:09 who takin care of my farm? who takin care of my farm? i really love that farm
6 years later and i'm still bumpin this heat
Oklahoma City in the Autumn?
Hella pretty awesome,
Everybody loved him,
Then it went to shit so they trade him to the Rockets
😂😂
man lil dicky's like the Van Gogh of the rap game, or as lord vader would say "The Force Is Strong With This One."

F#@% man, this song is just so good... it's word structure is just so elaborate, I love it. Most lyrically underrated song EVER!...
“I’m concerned about the burning out from upping the stakes, I’m always upping the stakes’
Taking dinner meetings in NY always up for the steaks” 🔥this is the first song I ever heard from Dicky and I knew he was meant to rap
SOOOOOO Nice Beats and Rhyme.
Love from JAPAN!
