The Introduction (Album Version)

歌詞

(Verse) Yo I took a gamble with my own fate So I can try to get some national exposure for my home state I had a strategy and mapped it out The backwards route: blow up, and take it back to underground Six years, funned around, at it again With local rap cats, backpacks, pads and pens The whole time I'm devisin' a plan Supply and demand, nine songs a day, dyin' to win My rep's bigger 'cause I spoon-fed niggaz Dumbed down my lyrics for two albums straight I said I'd drop another CD, then I'll be straight Allow me to make these statements, damn I should be proud to be Hated on, that means niggaz is listenin' Half these cats dis him, the other half is wit' him They stand back, admire? I'ma shock them all Almost, dropped the ball when my plan backfired I was, supposed to blow so I could stack some loot Go the mainstream route, then get back to my roots Buy a house for my mama and an Acura too But I happened to lose sight of why I started rappin' and Who's the real Danny Too surreal, can he Boost his skill and Reproduce the thrill, and be a Shoe-in at the Grammys? I'm doin' this for my family A lot of you don't, won't, or can't understand me I'm revealin' my Plan B, the MC is back But no matter what I spit on a track, it's still Danny I'm feelin' antsy, I'm about to explode The pressure's on, and I'm outta control So now you know (Outro: *scratched by Danny*) "We...we...we came a long way" - Nas "D. Swain" - Danny "The ill...the ill MC step in" - Redman "Once again" - De La Soul "He got skill" - Angelika "Wild golden child" - Nas "Can't...can't...can't...can't.. .you can't touch me" - Danny (fade out)
