Tragedy after tragedy
Its sad to see the tragic scene
His reality more of a travesty than my saddest dreams
Imagine screams, the smell of fresh crack smoke, and gasoline
Sick of being a pawn in a crackhead scheme
No choice but to play the hand dealt
Is this his life or is it hell? He can’t tell
But what he can see is the portrait of a fucked up family
Mother crying, screaming like a banshee
He fought hard
Grandma was his north star
But she’s getting pissed cause he threw away his report card
Lord God! Why won’t these boys do right
Why won’t big Danny quit the drugs and start a new life?
But in actuality he’s spiraling further and further
He’s getting violent, but he never wanted to hurt her
He’s out hustling known criminals wanted for murder
And little Danny’s home eating a leftover burger
Praying his papa makes it home safe
Dreaming of the day he gets his own place
We’re smoking blunts in a minivan bumping Ghostface
Passing by the CPD hoping they don’t chase
Then its late and we’re back at Brent’s pool y’all
Head full of acid, don’t wanna watch these fools brawl
He got sucker punched and I watched my dude fall
Head hit the concrete, sounded like a cue ball
Just one of the many times he escaped his demise
With a false sense of pride in a matrix of lies
Don’t wanna hear advice from the patient and wise
What would it take to make him realize?
He’s on the same destructive path as his father
Society leading the calves to the slaughter

He would come around with that ridiculous demeanor
I found out that he was kicking it with Tina
Numbing the pain… The kid was just a dreamer
You know about the grass
The shit is always greener on the other side
The love had died, but he’s stuck inside
Grandmother tried, but he’d rather run and hide
Overcome with lies, then they multiplied
He found another guide then I saw him come alive
He quit the malfeasance when he found Jesus
I’m not religious, but when its for profound reasons
I’m not hating. I don’t judge what you believe in
I’d rather see him at the church than out tweakin
But what he did with what he had was impressive to say the least
It’s David vs. Goliath and Danny slayed the beast
He found the courage it takes to pave the way and teach
And now I want to see the man live his days in peace
