Book of Daniel

Lyrics for Book of Daniel

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 outta 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 movin' 'em bills And got fronted a load from Mexican cartels But it's still life or death, it ain't hard to tell And interviews snitchin', still to make a sale It's a cold world out there, keep your snorkels zipped up Doing anythin' 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 punchin' 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 doin' 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 Sleepin' 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 turnin' to dope Drinkin' 'til I passed out 'cause I just couldn't cope Everythin' I went through had me drownin' 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 doin' 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, yo, uh, yeah) Come on, we're outta here, we're outta here, gone, gone (uh, uh, yeah, yeah, we out)
