Book of Daniel Lyrics

Book of Daniel Lyrics

Before they chisel the last four numbers on my tombstone

Know I left so many sons behind, could fill a group home

Inspired your favorite, so label me the greatest

This road was filled with potholes 'til I came through and paved it

Made it out a city where most just give up

Downplay the hard work and say it's just good luck

Used to write rhymes 'til I start to tear up

Lost a couple punchline 'cause the ink smeared up

Now I made it past a decade, who the top? Dot and Thebe

And that's me, the big three, don't give a fuck what they say

Don't care about the sales unless we moving them bills

And got fronted a load from Mexican cartels

But it's still life or death, it ain't hard to tell

And interviews snitching, still to make a sale

It's a cold world out there, keep your snorkels zipped up

Doing anything for content, see them numbers go up

How we go from mixtapes to clickbait?

Try to play me, tell me how my fist taste

Fuck punching in, I'ma write 'til my wrists break

So they can see the words every time they hit play

Rewind a couple times to understand what I'm tryna say

Still be doing this if the pay was minimum wage

A god MC, 'cause He talk through me

Just a vessel with a message, in due time you'll see

Was an addict with a habit 'cause this life, couldn't grasp it

Now it's magic when I sit behind the mic with a passage

Sorta like the book of Daniel, was trapped with them lions

But I believe, interpreted my dreams, I know who I am

I walk around this earth with my head held high

'Cause I know I told the truth, and this game is a lie

Sleeping real good at night 'cause I'm proud of myself

Say a prayer when I wake up because that rehab helped

When I didn't have hope, I was turning to dope

Drinking 'til I passed out 'cause I just couldn't cope

Everything I went through had me drowning on the surface

Discovered who I am, now I know my life purpose

So it was all worth it, now just pay me mind

I put my lifetime in between the paper lines

Every album is a chapter, when I die that's life after

So go back and listen, see I'm more than a rapper

Don't care about awards, not what I'm doing it for

Believe in yourself, and don't have a care in the world about what anybody think

Can't piss what they drink

When the fat lady sings, just know you lived your dreams

Don't be scared (Nah), it's alright (Yeah)

We're gonna make it by the end of the night (Let's go)

Rain or shine (Uh), it's alright (Yeah)

We're gonna make it by the end of the night

Come on, we're outta here, we're outta here, gone, gone (Go, go, yeah, uh, yeah)

Come on, we're outta here, we're outta here, gone, gone (Uh, uh, yeah, yeah, we out)
