Dave East Handsome
Dave East is applying pressure ahead of the release of his forthcoming project, Karma 3. The rapper’s only a few months released from his debut album Survival but East is returning to the mixtape circuit where he’s arguably in his best form. Earlier today, he released his latest track, “Handsome” along with an accompanying visual. Taking it back to the basics, he hops over a sample-based beat where he details his come-up from the streets of Harlem to yachts and coupes as well as loyalty for his family and neighbourhood.
Over the past few weeks, Dave East has been revving up for K3 with singles like “Really Wit It” and “Amazing Pt. 3.” He’s also brought back EastMixes with recent dubs over “Life Is Good” and Shades’ 1996 hit, “Tell Me (I’ll Be Around).”

Lyrics
[Intro]
Soundin’ like it’s ‘post to, nigga
[Verse 1]
I won’t break the code, young nigga tryin’ not to die
We just prayed that we’d get old
My niggas is gone
If they not in the field, I won’t put their name in a song
I been in the zone
Calling my niggas from jail, just praying they pick up the phone
Tried to get niggas to come get it with me
If they was too busy, I’ll get it alone
Watch how you approach
Young nigga drunk in a Ghost
I’m blessed like I run with the pope
If I’m on a yacht, got my gun on a boat
I’m not like you niggas, ain’t wanna be broke
When it got cold, I wanted a coat
My uncle was tripping, he wanted some dope
I’m tryna be the richest lil’ nigga you know
This paper get thrown, see who pick up the most
I was with killer, momma didn’t know
This might be the realest shit I never wrote
I got it, just know it fit inside my coat
So many feelings spilling out my soul
Ran outta product, we was dealing soap
I’m just being modest, I can get it low
Don’t care who the hottest, nigga, this is Loc
Pull up in Prada, prolly with your hoe
[Chorus]
Now, they calling me handsome
Kidnap that nigga and call for the ransom
Two-stepping, I’m not with the dancing
Only live once, so I’m taking these chances
I’ma do all thatI gotta do
Go back to the hood, they say, “We proud of you”
Over the family, we gotta shoot
Carolina whip, powder blue
[Post-Chorus]
Niggas never was providin’, talking how they ridin’, homie, I was ridin’ too
In public housing, try to violate, me and [?] talking ’bout we gotta move
Eviction notice, I got ’em too
Moving dolo, this is not a group
Knocking 2Pac and a lot of Snoop
Got the hang of this shit like I got a noose
[Chorus]
Now, they calling me handsome
Kidnap that nigga and call for the ransom
Two-stepping, I’m not with the dancing
Only live once, so I’m taking these chances
I’ma do all thatI gotta do
Go back to the hood, they say, “We proud of you”
Over the family, we gotta shoot
Carolina whip, powder blue
[Post-Chorus]
Niggas never was providin’, talking how they ridin’, homie, I was ridin’ too
In public housing, try to violate, me and [?] talking ’bout we gotta move
Eviction notice, I got ’em too
Moving dolo, this is not a group
Knocking 2Pac and a lot of Snoop
Got the hang of this shit like I got a noose
[Verse 2]
My crew was too live, I was not with [?]
I ain’t lyin’, my mamma do Prada boots
Eatin’ salmon on a private on a private boat
Just me and my bitch, so I got the coupe
I really had NBA dreams, overseas or get a [?]
Now, when I play the hood, I’m just slidin’ thru
Not a motherfucking thing I gotta prove
[Chorus]
Now, they calling me handsome
Kidnap that nigga and call for the ransom
Two-stepping, I’m not with the dancing
Only live once, so I’m taking these chances
I’ma do all thatI gotta do
Go back to the hood, they say, “We proud of you”
Over the family, we gotta shoot
Carolina whip, powder blue
[Post-Chorus]
Niggas never was providin’, talking how they ridin’, homie, I was ridin’ too
In public housing, try to violate, me and [?] talking ’bout we gotta move
Eviction notice, I got ’em too
Moving dolo, this is not a group
Knocking 2Pac and a lot of Snoop
Got the hang of this shit like I got a noose
Now, they callin’ me handsome
