Take a Picture Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I said it's
D-dot D-A-double-L-A-S
, she just thinkin'
LMFAO, tell that she ain't well impressed
'Cause we ain't on telly yet, ain't gettin' those spins like
Rihanna "Umbrella" yet, so she actin' celibate

But I’m in my element, I don’t take that shit to heart
I like provin' them wrong just to make myself look smart
They see the future as a blur, to me it's lookin' sharp
Smart money's on me, you should get in from the start
So we order four shots of raw Jäger, while the bottle pours
Think of how it's gonna feel
when you know you got it all
'Cause we on the bottom floor, lookin' at the top and all

People said we're crazy, but they just bet on lotto balls
They just wish for things to fall into their lap, I’m on a mission
For it, I won’t sit and pause until it happens
Baby, quit your chitter chatter yappin', kick back and handle the shot
In a couple years, you won't believe you met us in this spot

[Chorus]
So you should take a picture, ca-chick, take a flick
Before the world's up on this shit
and say this
You were down when they weren’t

When no one gave a damn what we did
Here we are, pourin' out shots
At the bar, swearin' one day
We’ll be stars, take a flick
Before the world's up on this shit
[Verse 2]
So take a flick, remember it in a couple years
When you see dudes resemblin' us
Then run and tell your friends that you met us, it was nuts
We pour some drinks and partied till the sun came up
See, it ain't even a thing that we ain't been in a bang
And I ain’t really no singer, ain't really no king
I’m just a simple man, just tryna do really big things
From the land flightless birds, 'bout to grow really big wings
And, girl, I really do think that the truth come out the more that we drink
Wouldn’t tell you this stuff otherwise, I’d probably feel stink
But you caught me on an off day, or is it an on day?
Shit, I don't even know, it's been a long day
Barman pass the Bombay, plus one for my lady friend
Make a mental note of this, things won't be the same again
When you see our names again, they gonna be up in lights
Then this here'll be history, for now it's just another night


[Chorus]
So you should take a picture, ca-chick, take a flick
Before the world's up on this shit
and say this
You were down when they weren’t

When no one gave a damn what we did
Here we are, pourin' out shots
At the bar, swearin' one day
We’ll be stars, take a flick
Before the world's up on this shit

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
