[Chorus]
Hulu doesn't just have live sports
It's a lifestyle (You feel me?)
Switched to the stream so it's hype now (It's lit)
I watch what I want every night now (Every night)
Can't decide with the options that I got now
[Post-Chorus]
Got shows (Got shows)
Different kinds (Different kinds)
New originals (New)
All the time (All the time)
Big movies (Big movies)
On my mind (On my mind)
It's my lifestyle (Lifestyle)
All the time (Dame D.O.L.L.A.)
[Verse 1]
Swimming in my money, I can never get enough
Told my nephews pay th?y bills with these buck (On Hulu)
Being hon?st, my mils walkin' to the bank, that's a promise
Now I'm in my lane, I just slam, that's ironic (Bow)
Pass the remote, gotta see what's on (What's on)
Flip to a game, you gon' see me on (For real)
Over sixty-five channels, Hulu showin' off
I wasn't puttin' on 'til I turned cable off (Cut it off)
I got the internet and that's all I need (Need)
Entire streaming' library, what you tryna see? (What you tryna see?)
It's more than live sports, it's a lifestyle (It's a lifestyle)
They gave me a bag so it's hype now (It's hype)
They gave me the sauce, now I'm dripped out (Dripped out)
So many shows and originals, I lost count (Lost count)
Gotta get the money, I don't need clout (Don't need it)
You know what time it is, don't ever doubt
[Chorus]
Hulu doesn't just have live sports
It's a lifestyle (You feel me?)
Switched to the stream so it's hype now (It's lit)
I watch what I want every night now (Every night)
Can't decide with the options that I got now
[Post-Chorus]
Got shows (Got shows)
Different kinds (Different kinds)
New originals (New)
All the time (All the time)
Big movies (Big movies)
On my mind (On my mind)
It's my lifestyle (Lifestyle)
All the time
[Verse 2]
Had to take control (Control)
Had to let it go, yeah
Cable held me back, had to give-and-go
Ran the pick-and-roll with the home team
Need to see what I want on my own screen
Don't turn nothin' down but my collar (It's good)
On the hood, if the bag there holla (It's good)
You can watch the game here, why bother?
I take a shot from the logo, it's water (Water)
I don't run with squares in my section (At all)
We all move like everyday is a blessing (Everyday)
We all streamin' with the squad, ain't a question (Ain't a question)
You with the ops need to make the correction (Correction)
I done seen a lot of companies, they ain't this (They ain't)
Sign me up, I signed in, ain't no way to miss
Got my chef in the kitchen, not a bad dish
I'm with the squad, everybody else gettin' dissed
[Chorus]
Hulu doesn't just have live sports
It's a lifestyle (You feel me?)
Switched to the stream so it's hype now (It's lit)
I watch what I want every night now (Every night)
Can't decide with the options that I got now
[Post-Chorus]
Got shows (Got shows)
Different kinds (Different kinds)
New originals (New)
All the time (All the time)
Big movies (Big movies)
On my mind (On my mind)
It's my lifestyle (Lifestyle)
All the time (Dame D.O.L.L.A.)
Cultural / Context information for the jury
From Tupac and Biggie’s battles in the ’90s to Drake and Meek Mill today, hip hop wouldn’t be hip hop without the diss track. But in all that time, no one has ever written a diss track against cable TV. That changed in 2021, when Dame D.O.L.L.A. dropped “Hulu Doesn’t Just Have Live Sports.” And like all targets of a savage diss track, cable has never been the same.
