And as the mouthpiece</br>Of every single citizen without peace</br>Direction and leadership</br>I'ma spit it 'til your ears can't believe this shit<… - Danny!

Two roads diverged in a wood, I took the one less travelled</br>I'm patient so that's one less hassle</br>If I dream it, I can live it</br>I've seen the light with vivid imagery</br>I need to write with fits of energy</br>But it's hard tryin' to get where I'm goin'</br>Without a hint or an omen</br>It's too late to turn around</br>Perseverance, gotta learn it now</br>But I'm stubborn how</br>Am I supposed to survive this rollercoaster hurtlin' to the ground?

But she just stood there, scared that I might snap</br>I looked in her eyes and there were years of disappointment starin' right back</br>And I was scared too, scared of what she would say</br>But I was embarassed like I, like I sat through three Madea plays</br>Before she walked away, Misery stopped</br>And she said 'look at your music career, you're in the same spot'</br>'Nah,' I said, 'don't even try me</br>Because you used to stand beside me</br>But I moved so far ahead you're ninety feet behind me'

I guess it's true what they say, the third time's a charm</br>I grabbed the game and let it die in my arms</br>Then resurrected it</br>Changed clothes, same flow, perfected it</br>They know Swain though they still won't respect the kid</br>But I ain't slowin' up</br>This time, blowin' up</br>Sponsors, concerts, everybody showin' up</br>Know enough tricks of the trade to get a record deal:</br>Fresh kicks, press kits, sex appeal</br>Had to mail my demo out 'cause I ain't had enough bus pass</br>To take the bus first class</br>So frustrated, had to puff-puff-pass</br>Sent my CD out to Puff, Puff passed</br>Must've had enough trash on his desk this year</br>Sent one to So So Def, but it fell on so so deaf ears</br>I never once shed tears, this must be a test here
