The place I call home is Bedford Nostrand and yes I feel fine even though I don't own a gun why would I have to? I'm not a bad dude. Not trying to front, I don't even have tattoos! Not everyone feels as safe in my hood as I do lived here for nine years and never have I had to deal with any kinda type of bad joo-joo Keep my head down man, that's what I do do. see the thing is That the crime keeps the rent down so if it was safer then I guess I would be moving out yeah, and I'm not doing that so i'll just close the windows when I start to hear that ratatat.. First one to the courts but the last one picked I'm the only white kid but I don't give a shit cause I'm not trying to front, not trying to be a gangsta just trying to see how many threes I can make, bra! the secret sports guy game might surprise you plus I can rhyme to anything I try to not trying to be anything but me Danny B. rhyming in my sleep and I'm still living by the G yeah that's the G train when there's wet paint make the sign say t pain just by folding down the ends dumb shit but it's funny to me and my friends and in the end that's what matters most man just tryin a have fun by bedford nostrand think that I could live here for nine more less the landlord try to hike the rent and I can't afford that's the problem man, brooklyn's expensive gotta have two jobs just to make rent kid.

I'm stuck at Metropolitan waiting with my headphones in I'll blast the next Japanther track until the train can take me back out of body, out my mind I do this shit like all the time but time is fucking passing quick I'm grinding and I'm tired as shit I'm trying to find some time to quit trying to find a breath to take trying to find some time to just unwind so I don't split and break In the middle of the cake peeling back the layers now life's a fucking circus man I don't have time to clown around earn my money then it's spent candle burning at both ends I'm walking on a tightrope or I'm burning down the fucking tent. I'm burning down the fucking tent. I'm stuck at Metropolitan waiting with my headphones in going just a bit insane I'm sick of waiting for this train but there's nothing I can do Bedford Nostrand avenue's just to far away for me to walk I'm fucking tired dude still I'm inspired to try to write a rhyme or two trying to annihilate every week and every day What more can I say? It's sounding crystal clear The days become the weeks become the months become the fucking years and thirty's coming quick that is some scary shit when it seems like just a dream ago I was a little kid but now I'm waking up and all my time is taken up I'm trying to remind myself to find the time to lighten up I've waited long enough and now I see the lights I'm trying to remind myself to try and get some sleep tonight. trying to remind myself to try and get some sleep tonight.

Can't solve all of my problems hope they never go away, I made a promise to myself just to get better every day, In every way. Cause every minute's a decision I envision, and I listen living gifted live my life while I am in it.. I'm a prism in the darkest chambers of your favorite song, I'm the nameless ageless faceless light of our lives moving on.. and on. And my perception is progression never ends and so the end of every moment's the beginning of the next. Hear what I'm feeling, I'd like to test my theories. But what is the meaning? Where's the ceiling if it keeps repeating? And repeating and repeating. It's deceived my brain to thinking I should leave my days to drinking, and the night's alright too for brews and booze and using, but what am I doing? Because the Times I can't Remember are the times I won't forget but yet my life is fucking priceless cause one life is all I get. That's right one life is all I get. I'm like Caviezel, in the passion man. Way more passionate, when lightning strikes twice on the beat, hope we capture it. Action flick shit. Like it's Drive and I'm the Gos. Live my life like I'm the boss but I'm not psyched about the cost, no. Guess I better pay it though, paid the cost to be the boss with losses that have paved the road. Might as well save the flow, cause no one pays attention man, but since that is the case I'll take this shit in new directions and.. Any questions then get directed to my rear-view, and here's who's steering this wheel it's the weird dude. Right? I heard they call him Danny, eating Xannies like they candy till they mother fucking bury me. She tried to tell me I need therapy, but speaking over beats is all I need when seeking clarity.. So I guess this is my therapy, just sharing shit coherently apparently life isn't fair but I cherish these disparities. It can be hard to see what we need to succeed in this life, but success is in the eye of the beholder, and I guess I'm getting older. Work In Progress, never over. (Hey yo) it's never ever ever ever over.

I might just need a beat like I need lungs and fucking air to breathe you see to me it's therapy it's really fucking everything once everything is out of me, there's nothing, nothing I could need there's peace inside my mind each time a rhyme can finally find a beat I finally found my feet, I've taken shaky steps, this world will take away your days till there is nothing left. I'm fucking running now, my time is never running out, in line with every second and I'll never let it hold me down. Used to think a lot about my life when I was just a kid Used to think I'd turn the things I want into the things I did Used to think the plan was dan would someday be a movie star and all the times that life was hard would get me to the title card there's no limit to the shit that I can handle man I've seen more than a camera can and that has made me my own man and I'm so proud of that proud I never shouted back proud to be to the man I am today I'd never take it back not a second of my life, although it's crazy how many second chances I've been given it's amazing if I ever have a baby, a daughter or a son you can bet your fucking life that I'll be better than my father was. I guess it's all because I wasn't honest with myself but I'd never trade a day we spent with anybody else and it helps to know your honest with me, honestly it helps cause I'll never love another till I learn to love myself if I think about the shit I should have said and could have done and stay up all fucking night cause that's just a fight that can't be won so instead of finding violence I'll find silence in my soul try to ask myself the question which direction should I go, and when I hear the beating and I'm feeling like I know I'll know that I'm not moving fast it's time that's moving slow. I'm on my own but my home is never far because wherever you go, that's wherever you are.
