DADBOD's lead single is a head-bobbing pop, funk, and R&B testament to an unbreakable father-son bond. Written, recorded, and performed on a secret island base in southern Thailand, with a dope video to match!
lyrics
Want it...need it...gotta...get it
Baby, if you take my hand
I swear you won’t regret it.
Here we go.
Men on a mission, surgical precision
droppin’ hot bombs
and we generatin’ fission
shnick-shnack-snock
I’m the paper, you’re the rock
together make the scissors
and we cuttin’ through the lock
unchained, from the days I was so restrained
now it’s all gone, but look at what I gained
'cuz I paid the piper, cupid was a sniper
Shoots and he scores, then ya bit me like a viper
hit my veins like a train full o’ locomotion
steam in my step with your magic potion
flipped all my scripts to a tale of devotion
you’re the needle in my stack and the pearl in my ocean
my friend
let me say it once again
my friend...
Well...I used to be a faker, silver-tongue taker
31 flavours for the big booty shaker
whip it up, D-cup, AAA heartbreaker
never thought I could change til I met my Maker
but I met you instead, and I must contend
that every day before was only playin’ pretend
now the game is real, and I don’t want it to end
cause I’m playing it with you, and you’re my...
BEST FRIEND - well I gotta sing it loud cuz you’re my
BEST FRIEND - and you make me so damn proud to be your
BEST FRIEND - never thought that I deserved to have a
BEST FRIEND - well you know I’m here to serve, cuz you’re my
BEST FRIEND - and now everything’s alright here with my
BEST FRIEND - I ain’t never had a bond this tight, no!
What I mean — there is nothin’ around that could ever come between us
What I see — you’re all I ever wanted and the best of me, yeah
What I try — well, we gotta take it slow before you pass me by and
What I know — Oh, I love you more than anything so please don’t go!
You can call it luck or call it fate
When we rockin’ on the block, do not hesitate
To put your hand in mine, I will bear the weight
because you are my best mate: You’re great
From your sense of style, to your guts and your guile
to the blinding light from that million-dolla’ smile
#1 fan til the day I die and
that’s gonna be a while (I hope)
Yeah my boy ain’t hype, cuz he’s an archetype
I am the Statue of David, but he’s packin’ pipe
So to get through me, you’d better bend that knee
and you will wait down there til he’s ripe
That’s right!
So, let me say it again, and I hope it don’t offend
gonna shout it from the mountaintop, and get an AMEN
yeah, one hand clapping cuz we doin’ it Zen
Is that a bird, or a plane? No, it’s SUPERMEN
And we are BEST FRIENDS
Well I gotta sing it loud cuz you’re my
BEST FRIEND
and you make me so damn proud to be your—
Not just better, my boy is best
put a feather on the scale and then I passed the test
did a total resurrection within my chest
and now I’m on a spirit quest, cuz I’m blessed!
So don’t you dare sit, you gonna stand and applaud
His position unconditional, his love ain’t flawed
And he helped me put the ‘dad’ within the Dadbod
So every damn day, well, I thank GOD for my...
(BEST FRIEND)
He’s my best friend
He’s my best friend
Please say I can always be yours.
