Lion's Den - Danny Brown, Paul White

Take a journey with me, to the city of the motor

Where no order got a struggle if you wanna make a quarter

See the pain in my eyes from the torture and the horror

Make me realise that insanity they force you

My patience is a virtue, I’m growing uneasy

In the city where you turn on the news you get queezy

My nigga like my brother, straight of another mother

Together we a' hustle just to get up out the gutter

Going half on an ounce was really all that counts

Was eating where we shit serving at our momma’s house

Was both jugging down why them sergeants had to come

Went away for a year came back and I was done

Stared death in the face and I ain’t blink once

I ain’t going back to where I’m from

Said I will make it rappin', told me it would never happen

Might as well hit the block got a new passion

Now I’m playing in Europe on a sold out tour

Came a long way from razer blades chopping pure

Seeing better days and ain’t never going back

Cos I used the game and ain’t got caught up in the trap

And that’s death

Daniel in the lion’s den

Nobody knows will I make it out to fight again

Daniel in the lion’s den

Nobody knows will I make it out to fight again

Hurts so good the pain never ends

I know I wanna quit, don’t know where to begin

Talked with myself just need to stop

But when I’m at my low, that’s when the high starts

Need a intervention, but it won’t help

Maybe get a therapist but I talk to myself

That voice in my head said have another round

Couple lines of coke got me feeling right now

I might lose it all, I keep on down this road

Seen too many fall, but this is all I know

Whole family got high, I guess it’s in my blood

That’s when there’s no love, you find it in the drug

It ain’t what it was, it is what it is

We gotta break the cycle, a future for our kids

You see it half empty, I see it half full

Holla for the stars, every time a full moon

Daniel in the lion’s den

Nobody knows will I make it out to fight again

Daniel in the lions den

Nobody knows will I make it out to fight again
