24 Hours to Live

Inspired by the song 24 Hours to Live, Mase ft. the Lox, Black Rob, DMX

 

 

So this is the theme, 24 hours to live

My life has been a dream, still feel I got so much love to give

No wife to leave behind, angels above got one day until they meet the kid

 

Its rare, not many are told what is their fate

Let alone the exact time, down to the second and the date

It took about an hour to come to grips with these terms

Only 23 left until I’m bout to be food for the worms

 

Decide to drop down, have a talk with the man upstairs from my knees

Lord please give me strength, help me get thru this last day please

 

The blessing is that today is sunny and hot

No stressing, aint gotta worry about money, ima go hard until I drop

Aint trying to preach, but theres a better life to live than just the fast way

I guess ill head down to the beach to spend most of my last day

Feel the cool breeze at my back, really enjoy the sand between my toes

Maybe ask a bikini babe to walk, hold my hand, who knows

A cup of ice and a tall red Gatorade, that’s my magic potion

I forget, has my bed been made, that’s the thought as I dive into the ocean

Learned at an early age that’s a great way to cleanse the soul

To start a new day, turn the page, regain control

 

Sitting on the sand its time to pick up the phone

My brothers may be hundreds of miles away, but im never really alone

Just wanna let yall know, ive appreciated all the love

Your boys bout to be an angel looking down on you from above

Honor my spirit, don’t you dare mourn my passing

Remember the good times, Something About Mary, we were on the theater floor laughing

For real dogs, Im so happy to have had three non blood brothers

Cherish every day, don’t forget to hug your mothers

 

My time here is almost up, like the last day on a lease

Deuces, two up, now I guess it’s time to say peace

 

Last meal time, one thing I love to do is eat

A little Velveeta mac n cheese, a big ass hunk of red meat

The clock appears to be moving faster, so precious is time

Phone blowing up off the hook, guess words traveling the grapevine

In the zone not shook, put on some beats, sit back and enjoy the rhymes

 

Take a second to write the family a little note

Tell them how much I love them, maybe share a favorite quote

“You never plan to fail, you simply fail to plan”

Until we meet again, every day set sail, Love Dan

 

Time to lay up on the couch, Mr. Kitty on my chest

That love that he shows me, man that shits the best

Its getting so close, almost time for eternal rest

At peace with the situation, everyone eventually gets called, so no stress

 

Times winding down, about sixty seconds left of breath

Close my eyes and smile, three, two, one, time to face my de……

Incomplete 180

Definitely a turnaround, lets call it an incomplete 180

I was lost, starting to be found, things are pretty sweet lately

Its funny, my God works in such a mysterious way

Kinda ironic I grabbed the tag on Mothers Day

Took a deep breath, walked outside and looked up in the sky

Happy Mothers Day, miss you ma, little tear to the eye

I know you’re jumping for joy, so incredibly proud

I was screaming your name silently inside, didn’t want to get loud

Not sure how many miles away, but so close the gleam of those stars

I can feel you smiling down, for real, don’t really seem that far

What a great way to spend the day, at a wedding with all my friends

To have you all in my life, man I am so truly blessed

Some people I talk to a lot, others I barely know

That’s the beauty of it, and it just goes to show

Anything is possible, wildest dreams become reality

Blessed today to be so happy, filled to the brim with vitality

A very special thanks to those in the Yoga crew

You are the group of people I feel the closest to

No personal shout outs, yall already know who you are

Without you in my life, no way I would have come this far

Sometimes the highlight of my day is that stinky sweaty hug

There aint no other way around it, undoubtedly that is love

Thanks for being a part of my life, feel like you’re all sent from above

I don’t know where Im headed, certainly cant forget where ive been

Thankful I can walk around clear headed, no longer a walking sin

What do they say next? “Urine the right place”

One day at a time though, this aint a friggin race

Do You

Having fun toying with these syllables, call it wordplay

Not concerned about how dorky it may seem, call it nerdplay

Celebrating life every single day like its my birthday

Might as well call me Laker James, cuz I feel Im Worthy

To reach the peak or at least keep climbing towards the top

Positive perception, constant progression, this aint never gonna stop

I work hard, every day is full, sometimes I feel like I might drop

Full, overstuffed with energy, positivity and hope, sometimes I feel I might pop

Confident not arrogant, its what I have become

Everyone has the chance, its apparent, to feel like you’re the chosen one

Might not be Ali flow, certainly not the Greatest Of All Time

In spite though, keep improving with the latest of these rhymes

My God has given me a chance to gain wisdom, cerebral enhancement

My job lets me Dance in the Rain, an opportunity for advancement

Couldn’t have done shit if I wasn’t at peace and serene

Don’t know how else to say it, Pissed off for Greatness, I stay mean

Sometimes life comes at you in spite, it stings, like a Mosquito

That prepares me for the bright lights, whatever it brings, like a Casino

So what is it Danny Boy, what exactly is it you wanna do

Keep busting that fanny boy, whatever you want, simply do you

Let the winds blow, trees rustling, stay humble stay true

Stand in front of the mirror, cool with the dude staring back, be good with you

Its Never Too Late

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Try not to ever say never

Not too late to start whatever the endeavor

Wherever the wind blows me, light as a feather

Its always sunny in Dannydelphia, no matter the weather

Proud I was found a wreck, now its time to find the treasure

 

Feel like I went on MTV and got made

Discovering who I wanna be, how Ima get paid

Like the No Fear bumper sticker, not afraid

Romping around so hard, jeans worn at the bottom, theyre frayed

Heart first, head second, further down the list is getting laid

Screw coming back, Im just glad I stayed

 

This Is A Good Sign, I stay dedicated

All jacked up with positivity and hope, heavily medicated

Content with just enough, whatever pays the bills

Don’t need fancy this shiny that, free are my everyday thrills

 

True beauty, happiness, bliss in everything around me

Live truly, love and sappiness, bless everyone around me

Wasn’t really looking, so I think He found me

These rhymes were just the start, now I try to speak profoundly

Walk around head high open heart, once lost, so happy that I found me

Cool with being me, I can walk around proudly

 

Pay attention, eye contact, try to listen when others speak

If I only listen to the voice between my ears, outlooks pretty bleak

Surrender was the base, climbing to the top, cant wait for the view from the peak

Lance Armstrong flow, I LiveStrong, even when Im feeling weak

Stressing Into a Blessing

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

Oh look its my heart, right there on my sleeve

Say what Im thinking, no filter, I do what I believe

Sometimes good sometimes bad, might get me into trouble

Cool with that today, to grow is to struggle

Sometimes my bark is vicious, some think I need a muzzle

Aint nothing soft and cute about this dog, I aint a puggle

I warm up after a while, temperatures right ill even cuddle

Not gonna lie man, confused, call me befuddled

Gotta do what was suggested, Let Go and Let God

No more lollygagging, from across the room no nod

Aint got me bugging, certainly aint trippin,

Won’t catch me chuggin, certainly not sniffin

Had me glancing in the mirror, whats wrong with you fool

That lasted about thirty seconds, be strong you cool

Learned how to pick up the phone, use it as a tool

Never ever alone, sometimes this world, its cruel

Turn the stressing into a blessing, use it as fuel for my fire

In every experience theres a lesson, screw the stars and the moon, im shooting higher

Let it Shine

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

Life on lifes terms, that’s the reality that we face

Problems just don’t vanish into thin air without a trace

Got an issue that arises, talkings a good way to deal

Like a wound that needs to be taken care of to heal

It’s a blessing today, the ability to feel

Happiness, pain, joy, each and every emotion

I choose to let them in today, there aint a magic potion

Used to numb those feelings, make them go away

Now im happy I get to experience them, that theyre here to stay

Like tools in my box, glad to have different ways of growing

Aint gotta be sly like a fox, Im emotional, this recovery is showing

Selfish are my motives, writing is Danny time

Its to you they are devoted, whoever needs this rhyme

Express yourself, be comfortable being you

Shave all your hair off, go get a new tattoo

That inner light, that peace, let it shine through

Don’t change because someone wants you to whatever you do

Cant fret about the mystery in which we call tomorrow

Cant forget about my history, quite familiar with pain and sorrow

Bless he who I don’t understand and change me

When I stress and try to have everything planned estranged is me

Living Just For Today, letting the wind blow, going with the breeze

Wont forget to pray, cant forget gratitude to show, ending every day On My Knees

When I was Out

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

Whats the Batman line? Dancing with the devil in the pale moon light?

Used to have my own kind, dancing with the devil, the pale blue kind

Mr nice guy, nah, spitting nothing but venom

I wasn’t cool cuz I sold dope, wore baggy denim

I was a fool with no hope, didn’t want my familys help, I wouldn’t let em

Chasing just one more, Id do anything to get em

Liar, thief, shadiest mother fucker around

Acting all hard, I was the biggest sucker in town

Used to wait around all day, for that specific call

Seen the top before, what a prolific fall

Went to school with dreams, pissed away a scholarship

The problem was obvious back then, didn’t want to acknowledge it

It was his and her fault, everyone elses but mine

Whats done in the darkness comes to the light, all in due time

I went there in a haze, kicking and screaming

All I knew was the nightmare I created, unfamiliar with dreaming

Only lying to myself, I was pretty good at scheming

Lost, out of touch, feeble, I was a real dick

So thankful to be scared of that needle, never felt a prick

Did some sick twisted shit, sold my dead moms jewelry

All for some powder up my nose, a few hours of tomfoolery

Cant even believe it, that shit used to be cool to me

Money for toilet paper was outta the question, so I had to take a shower

Each and every time I went, hows that for having absolutely no power

That shit woke me up in the morning, let me know if I could sleep

Got in the way of my process of mourning, told me how hard I could weep

Family concerned, considered them a minor obstruction

Get the fuck outta the way, I gotta cause some major destruction

Spent my last night out banging my head against a door, concussion

Simply couldn’t take it anymore, picked up the damn phone

Help me my soul is sore, im surrounded by familiar strangers, all alone

Thought it couldn’t be done, impossible, considered myself hopeless

Learned I could be a son, highly probable, all I had to be was dopeless

Thankful for the discovery of this way of life, a brand new kind

Like I traded the old one in, got a brand new mind

It aint easy to look within, not knowing what you might find

Discovered some shit I like, I had it this whole lifetime

Not free of defaults, aint nobody is perfect

This shits cool though, it works if you work it

Dig a Little Deeper

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

I do what is asked, I listen to what im told

Ive learned from the past, I try to be bold

Not enjoying life too fast, happy watching things unfold

Screw the market that crashed, like a fancy house im sold

 

Time to take the cotton out of my ears, listen

Best Dan I can be, that’s the goal of this mission

Turned it over to His plan, powerful is submission

What’s the other option, moanin and pissin

 

Just scratching the surface, must dig a little deeper

These hugs have a purpose, not just to be a creeper

Its ok to clean the soul, sometimes Im a weeper

Slippery is this slope, though it always appears steeper

 

Loving life in Florida, though im not a Gator

Got love for all, so im not a hater

Serving others with a smile, though im not a waiter

Take some time to unwind, don’t be a speed dater

Achieve the time is now, don’t be a procrastinator

 

Try to see with open eyes every minute that is passing

Wake up every morning and force out joy, music blasting

Hope this feeling lasts forever, everlasting

A smile is always cool, no matter the threads, always in fashion

On My Knees

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

Often times I wonder, is there a right and wrong way to pray

Certain keywords to throw in, specific things to say

Quite confused about this for something I practice every day

On my knees every night, at the end of the bed in which I lay

 

Is there anything taboo? Too intense to talk about

Is it supposed to be a soft whisper, or am I supposed to shout

Pretty sure im not being judged, or at least I truly doubt it

Either way I gotta get this shit off when my brain is foggy n clouded

 

I try to be as vaguely specific as possible

Im not asking a genie for three wishes that’s just illogical

I try to ask for things by being thankful

Stocking up the faith, already have a spiritual bank-full

All fueled up on positivity and hope, like I got a tank-full

 

People have so many names for God, too many to even count

Not here to say ones right or ones wrong, that’s not what this is about

 

I believe the prayers from around the world all go to the same places

All inclusive, doesn’t matter boy or girl, whatever we claim as our races

Money and material things don’t matter, neither does the color of our faces

Were all connected as human beings, even by the slightest of traces

 

We all have demons in common, and this is how we face them

Things we gotta put out there, just so the God of our understanding can erase them

 

Unsure how this world started, I can’t imply the theory of creation

The cross around my neck says brothers, doesn’t specify my affiliation

 

Been doing some research in my readings, about all the asm’s and the ism’s

Finding that while all different, they all have good in them

Trying to find the common theme, create my own Danny-ism

 

Im thankful for all the blessings that each new day seems to bring

 

Im thankful for the sun coming up and my world spinning around, that bird that sings

 

Im thankful for the wonderful people in my life, each one who crosses my path

 

Im thankful I don’t wake up sick, feeling the devils wrath

 

Im thankful for the job I love, and even that I have one

 

Im thankful for the financial benefits of it, even more that I have fun

 

Im thankful to have faith, ok with whatever may be the plan

 

Im thankful that Im no longer trapped in that maze, my life is in His hands

 

Im thankful to be at a place where I can be comfortable today, act like a man

 

Im thankful that I cleared up the lines, I can talk to the Great Spirit

 

Im thankful every time I pray, because I truly believe He can hear it
