DC The Don | “Poison”
DC The Don juggles between leaving or staying in a one-sided relationship via “Poison.”
The song also highlights his avid storytelling and ability to pinpoint his emotions.
After declaring that “love makes me sick,” he exposes his woman for only being interested in him when it’s transactional.
“Only time you fiending for my love is when your rent due,” he delivers in a melodic style. “I hate LA, and she like,’ God damn, I hate this bitch too’/My diamonds talking, they like, ‘God damn, look what that bitch do’/She like, ‘Okay, Okay,’ you know I hate sleeping in this room, I’m tryna relocate, them are slow days.”
DC The Don battles with walking away because he’d “rather be miserable than leave.”
Remorseful over his malicious decision, the Rostrum Records artist looks to make amends. After having one-too-many drinks, he’s personally urged to right his wrongs. His lover, however, isn’t having it.
He sings,
“I think I took too many turns being too out of pocket, unloaded/And I’m drunk texting you again, it’s all illegible/Yeah, but she say she a no-go/All them pictures in your mind, she said she cropped me out the photos/Goddamn, lil’ baby, that’s a low blow.”
Despite this toxic pattern, he’ll still “treat it like it’s medical.” The song concludes that DC The Don won’t stop loving her ’till his heart stops beating.
Sonically, “Poison” is charged up with hyper-pop and video game elements.
