So one time for my disillusioned artists, I hear ya</br>Two times for the kid that air-guitars in the mirror</br>Three times for the 9-to-5-in' bus r… - Danny!

D. Swain ain't never dwell on shit</br>So why would he start now?</br>The perfect time for him to depart, vowed</br>To make a name for myself</br>Get some fame, maybe gain some wealth (what else?)</br>I gave you the pain of a black man going through thangs</br>Just being myself and showing you Swain</br>Now a nigga feelin' disenchanted, jaded</br>'Cause instead of gettin' props, Danny got hated</br>Yeah I made it to the top, but I'm tossin' myself off</br>D. Swain kill his image? Chalk it up as a loss</br>Goodbye

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

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</br>We got weapons of mass destruction, and we is it
