Chorus
 
 I want my dat back
 
 I want my dat back
 
 I need my dat back
 
 I want my dat back
 
 Where the hell is my dat at
 
 I want my dat back
 
 I need my dat back
 
 I want my dat back
 
 I need my dat back
 
 I want my dat back
 
 I played 13 for that
 
 I want my dat back
 
 I need my dat back
 
 I want my dat back
 
 I need my dat back
 
  
  Verse one
 
 Yo i been listen to you since i was a small crop
 
 I bought your tape and watched your career flop
 
 I post your face up in my room
 
 You had the grim look so when i was mad nigga you was mad too
 
 You blessed me with opportunity to listen
 
 And by droppin an album you made music my mission
 
 I would turn on the tv
 
 All i see is dmc who i truly want to be
 
 And mama bought a karaoke machine
 
 As present, so i can have sessions with the young adolescence
 
 In my room
 
 Fuck a cartoon
 
 I'm to busy trying to get at you
 
 With this music
 
 And as time went on my skills got tighter
 
 An unbelievable writer, unbelievable reciter
 
 Hit the hip hop spots
 
 Closed the ciphers
 
 Obie trice dark like a phantom with flows
 
 And by this time shit you like a platinum with those
  
 
 Chorus
 
 I gotta get me a dat
 
 I need a dat
 
 What the hell is a dat? (digital audiotape)
 
 Get a dat
 
 I gotta get a dat
 
 Yo: what's a dat
  
 
 Verse 2
  
 
 Hey yo you came to my town one day i got the word
 
 The illest emcee in the rap game most preferred
 
 I thought it was a start for me to exploit my style
 
 And maybe you lend a hand out
 
 So i dropped what the fuck i was doin
 
 Grabbed the dat
 
 Jetted to the weed spot
 
 And blew the whole fuckin sack with my man joe
 
 Who keep the ten-dollar dats
 
 He like "you really bout to make it huh o"
 
 I just laughed
 
 Shot up out the spot
 
 Started the engine
 
 Hold the dat tight in my right, while i was steerin
 
 Thinking to myself when the voices started blarrin
 
 Hey yo hey yo hey yo
 
 Arrived at the spot
 
 Parking lot packed
 
 Filled with rap-a-lots and bad boy cats
 
 Timbos and backpacks
 
 Hood thing playin with mecca
 
 Old shirty and scissor hands
 
 I got ta trippin on them niggas when they started rappin
 
 They aggravating the line while u autographin
 
 In fact when i finally reached ya
 
 Them niggas got thrown out a long time ago, nice ta meet ya
 
 Obie trice nuttin nice
 
 On this mic device
 
 I got a dat for ya tonight
 
 Clinched in my right
 
 But don't take it if you aint gonna holla, aight
  
 
 Hook
 
 Hey yo i gave him the dat, now my foot is in the door
 
 I gave him the dat now i'm bout to go on tour
 
 Yo i gave him the dat my foot is in the door, i'm a bout to go on tour
 
 Yeah yeah
  
 
 Verse 3
 
 Now a year den past and i aint here from yer ass
 
 I den strapped some loot
 
 Ready to jump in the coupe
 
 Head for new york
 
 And if i see ya i'm a shoot up all over your shit
 
 Since i been wearing troops
 
 And you can't call a nigga back to tell me that my shit is garbage
 
 If i see you in concert i'm a snap
 
 Slap you from the roof like harley did jack
 
 I want my fuckin dat back
 
 Fuck that
  
 
 Chorus
 
 Hey yo i need my dat back

 Hey yo i want my dat back
 
 Hey yo: where's my dat at
 
 I said you said you was gonna holla back
 
 You know i need my dat back
 
 I want my dat back
 
 I played $13.50 for that
 
 And you aint called me back
 
 You know i want my fuckin dat back
