[Part I: Givin]

[Mixtape Intro: DJ Don Cannon]
You know one thing you can put on the record?
Me and Drama been givin' and takin'
Shout to Danny Seth, DeJ Loaf (The British are coming)

[Verse 1: Danny Seth]
Talkin' 'bout money?
Shit, I'm about to make a lot (Uh-huh)
See the Rollie on my left wrist?
It's the reason I don't use a clock (Hah!)
Check the Rollie once again (Uh)
Still I have to for the cops
And if you hatin' on the low
Better stand up 'fore your punk ass gets dropped
I'm a (The British) trendsetter
Tryna make bread like Mayweather (Hm)
Comparin' me to other man, I'm way better
This lamb skin, boy you rock fake leather (Hah!)
I ain't got time for the beef, mothafucka
Cook it like Boyardee mothafucka
And everybody wanna be me, see me
They'll be on my nuts like tight jeans, mothafucka
I just checked and I got next (Next)
I ain't talking alphabet but I'm better with your ex
You be hangin' with the 6s while I'm bangin' out the 10s
And I'm from the UK, flow like the River Thames
So, come flow with me (Flow)
When I'm sonning all these rappers like an ovary (Sonning)
And I'm puffin' on some tree with some potent leaves
'Cause we made it from the UK overseas and that's real

[Break: Jesse Rutherford]
On some mixtape shit, like

[Verse 2: DeJ Loaf]
It's not givin', it's just takin', it's just takin'
Live your life, roll your blunts and chase nathin'
I've been out here for a minute, it's my time
Bought a watch before a crib
I'm too important and I can't show you where I live
Why they think that they can stop me? I'm goin' so hard
I'm facin' my fears, face full of tears
I'm scarred for life, so I'ma ball for life
DJ play my song tonight, alright (Uh)
Woah, Russian roulette, one to the neck
Break you to pieces and open your flesh
Am I in love? Am I the best?
It could be lust, you obsessed with the sex
I'm obsessed with the thought of me breakin' your heart
Rollies for breakfast and APs for brunch
We done got rich and forgot who we was
I think you would too if you came from the slums for life

[Segue: DeJ Loaf]
Alright
Yeah, yeah, woah

[Part II: Takin]

[Chorus: Jesse Rutherford]
Give me the room and I'll take it
I couldn't fake all the things that I say
I know the rules but I'm playin'
In a game that'll throw you away
Give me the room and I'll take it
I couldn't fake all the things that I say
I know the rules but I'm playin'
In a game that'll throw you away

[Outro: Jesse Rutherford]
I'm givin' and takin' (Ahh)
I'm givin' and takin' (Ahh)
I'm givin' and takin' (Ahh)
I'm givin' and takin' (Ahh)
I'm givin' and takin'

The Neighbourhood

Hailing from Newbury Park, California, upstart indie band The Neighbourhood finds its influences as diverse as hip-hop (where lead vocalist Jesse Rutherford had his musical beginnings) and the classic black and white aesthetic that often dominates their music videos and outfits. The current members are Jesse, Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels (guitarists), Mikey Margott (bassist), and Brandon Fried (drummer). The Neighbourhood is often abbreviated to “The NBHD.” The band are easily recognisable by their signature upside-down house logo, which is tattooed on every band member.

With the release of the extended plays Thank You, and I’m Sorry…, the band accumulated a wide range of fandom appreciation.

Following the rising success of their hit single “Sweater Weather,” the band released their debut album in 2013 entitled I Love You. to a far wider popularity than that which preceded them. The band have also gained traction over the years by touring with artists like Travis Scott, Danny Brown, Imagine Dragons and Charli XCX.
