[00:03.10] your VERT-a-BRAEk when I OPEN and SLIP THE DISK
[00:05.48] CHIROPRACTICALLY not made to withstand force of my hits

[00:10.27] this is MATHEMATICS
[00:11.33] you can ADD ME not SUBTRACT ME
[00:13.18] i’m DIVISIBLE by TWO if a label wanna half me (have me)
[00:15.84] the first half is lyrical infused with insanity the second is the vocals and I do that uncanny
[00:20.64] unsigned hype
[00:22.02] climbing up a [MOUNTAIN-i’m-DEW] for some [BARQ-if-these-niggas-trynna-BITE]
[00:26.27] COKEd up thinking that I needa TAKE LINES

[00:46.98] i’m RUNNING GAME SMOKING TRACK like a BLACK n' MILE
[00:49.37] and PICKING UP this generation calling from a POCKET DIAL
[00:52.03] they say that rap changed

[00:55.23] then ENTER to a whole new DATA PAGE
[00:57.34] my [BARCELONA (bars alone a) SPAN-SPAIN]
[00:59.47] and bring rap back to the classics
[01:00.79] and the lyricism golden age
[01:02.39] they know it’s real
[01:03.45] refuse to respect it
[01:04.52] i’m underrated but was chosen due to natural selection
[01:06.90] competition isn’t something that i see i direct it then go to war with the person that i see in reflections
[01:12.22] still breaking every BRACKET
[01:14.05] my [[CHEDDAR BOB]s weaves TAXES like I’m

[01:23.35] not to mention
[01:24.68] my INDEPENDENCY has been ignored
[01:26.01] if SOLD OUT gets applied to my name
[01:27.60] it’s cuz dax the BRAND ain’t available inside the STORES
[01:30.79] and MARKED UP due to an external mediary force
[01:32.92] you wanna hear some more
[01:34.51] i got these demons in my head tryna PULL ME so I’m always playing TUG OF WAR
[01:38.22] on the edge falling till I grab a bottle
[01:40.36] take it head and I pass out and I wake up on the f*cking floor
[01:43.27] you don’t know the struggle
[01:44.60] shot after shot thought after thought
[01:47.79] schizophrenic tendencies while grabbing on a mop overnight cleaning scrubbing on the same damn spot
[01:52.57] praying for a miracle while looking up to god
[01:55.23] then remembering yo broke ass still the clock
[01:57.88] and that 7.25 that you paid aint for a lawyer for the bitch who just called the cops
[02:03.19] that type of a struggle
[02:04.26] that type of grind that type of hustle
[02:06.38] you couldn"t do it I can see it your eyes
[02:08.77] you wouldn’t last a f*cking day in my shoes and no way you would last a second in my mind
[02:14.08] but I digress
[02:15.15] see you get bitter in this world when it shows you no respect
[02:18.60] a COG IN A WHEEL with a message that’s the algorithm sees but is constantly trying to
[02:23.38] suppress
[02:23.92] now lets it back
[02:24.98] to historical rap when KNOWLEDGE.REIGNED.SUPREME (KRS) and the BACK was PACKed
[02:29.49] [KRS-was-on-the-ONES] and the twos was stacked with lyrical BOMB THREATS that would BOOM and BAP
[02:34.80] Grandmaster flash and the Furious Five
[02:36.94] Kool Herc and the Crew that way 2 LIVE
[02:39.58] SUGAR HILL and the GANG with a PIECE of the PIE ya toothache (too fake) if u aint heard of a RAPPERS DELIGHT
[02:44.63] u gotta move back can't any erase the classics
[02:46.75] this game is a RACE i’m PARKed in the FIELD with DINOSAURS JURASSIC
[02:48.35] their FOSSILs FUEL my GASsing
[02:50.77] i'm GEOLOGICALLY DRIPPED in this HISTORICAL FASHION
[02:52.62] it’s in my BONES and STRUCTUrally BUILT into my rapping
[02:55.53] so when you hear me snapping
[02:56.87] just know it would of never happen without pioneers like Kurtis Blow. Ice T, Rakeem Run DMC, Jay, Nas, EPMD, Ice Cube, LL and Eazy-E
[03:01.65] Tupac, Snoop Dogg and B.I.G, Dre, Eminem
[03:04.83] 50 and M M MANY MEN
[03:05.90] the AFTERMATH is this
[03:07.75] THE CHRONIC destruction of beats from an African
[03:09.88] who Ramadan (Rams it down) your throat to ya abdomen
[03:12.80] you SQUARES only PLANT SEEDS when in MADISON (madison square garden)

[03:29.54] in a space where my sanity
[03:30.87] tip toes up a hill called CALVARY where the people PREACH and BLAS-PHE-MY
[03:36.19] so I’ve MASTERED PEACE (Master P, No Limit)
[03:37.24] cuz there's NO LIMIT to their disrespect
[03:39.63] i’d be LION if I said I wasn’t in the DEN
[03:42.02] that last verse is BIBLICAL
[03:44.41] if that don’t make sense my names DANIEL my critical friend
[03:46.54] the story told is just beginning as I build suspense and craft my pen into a sword to cut through all this nonsense I pray you can discern between real fake and motherf*cking hater throwing backhand compliments
[03:56.90] still killing instrumentals
[03:58.22] i’m INSTRUMENTAL this PERIODS defined and cycling through MENSTRUALS, BLEEDING on tracks with the HALF SHARPENED PENCIL so I
[04:04.87] BRIDGE THE GAP and emBRACE it like DENTAL
[04:07.26] cut track at SPEEDS so fast that the TEMPO
[04:09.39] impacts at FREQUENCIES that CRESCENDO
[04:12.31] blow minds then fix and reassemble
[04:14.96] and penetrate straight through ya mental
[04:17.36] its Dax
