trapped in the devils fog for so long
found my way out the cloud through a song
prayed to my God above tell me whats wrong
never been lost but now im found



I've never been the type to smoke hash, 
but somehow I always ended up where the smoke was at,
I guess it was all the friends I had, I dont know? 
But everywhere we would go we would blow, 
in the whip bumping khalifa tracks, 
headed to johns house just to get some tatts we were bad, 
we thought it was cool ditching school, 
drinking, smoking, chilling, we were fools, 
we always got down to doing work, 
but I promise momma I've never pushed no work,
 I know it hurt, watching your son doing drugs cuzz I'm the only one, 
and even then you still gave me that love, 
unconditional, uncritical, unlimitable, and that was pivotal, 
just know that I'm a changed man, 
and I give it up to god cuzz he made me who I am



trapped in the devils fog for so long
found my way out the cloud through a song
prayed to my God above tell me whats wrong
never been lost but now im found



yeah my only motive was to fade my vision
back in the days when it was my only mission
fog my mind block my heart feelin what im missin
moving body no control in my intermission
feel my pain broken gears in my transmission
leaking knowledge on the highway i never missed it
God picked it up put it back in my distance
never could pay him back for the things i never mentioned

My Introduction to the World

The Devil got us working day by day, We are living our lives trying to get paid, that's why they call life a pursuit of happiness.... 

Hipnotic- Dannytatts ft. Samurai

*VERSE* 
They say too much of anything can kill ya, That's why I pack knowledge in my paraphernalia and smoke it, Brain matter getting fatter overdosage, I hit like a tsunami, My head is overflowing, Cautious of the world i'm a conscious killer, While everyones playing hostage slaves wrapped in bondage, Whipped! The generations taking over everybody is a follower, Trailing behind the bandwagon, Popping E, Sipping lean, Smoking weed, I guess that makes you fly like a butterfly, Sting like the bee from the tops of bottle caps of mickeys 40 0z malt liquor, One selection of the green bottle couture, Need more? I need less of that depressant, See i'm stressing, My uncle made it past 3 strokes and two heart attacks, All from days filled with alcohol and cigarettes, In his mid 40's I'm wondering how he's still alive seeing death five times, Doesn't god give you signs? Maybe god gives you time, To open up your eyes and realize drowning away your sorrows with a bottle just creates more problems in the long run, The effects of being on one, Now my little cousins on one, Should I tell him? Run, or let him find out on his own, Hard headedness runs inside my blood, 11 pints of O positive, Donations to any vampire who's down to swallow it. 
*CHORUS* 
Doesn't god give you signs? 
Maybe god give's you time. 
Doesn't god give you signs? 
Maybe god gives you time.

Summertime ft. Dannytatts

Verse 1
This is to my father, mother, sister, cousins, family and friends in long distance,
Im trying to stay focused and I gotta be persistent, there's times when I think about
the past and I miss it, In my younger days getting faded was my my only ambitions
but times changed and now there's new missions that I'm conquering, and there's no stopping me, it's time to be a leader no more following, I'm trying to show all the people who their following are made up crooks built for you to get swallowed in, like deep throat, gargling, swallowing, that's the same actions that some women do to future kids, when the radio plays there's another hit and listening is like a hit from a 45 1-9-eleven full clip filled with hollow tips, I'm trying to stay alive and that's why I never follow shit.

Chorus
New me, times changed
cut the radio off and hear the rain
Brothers, Sisters follow me,
Open your eyes and just see,
this world is a place full of evil and good,
I know it's hard trying to find which path to choose,
but if you do the wrong things do them the right way
cuzz im doing bad things living life the good way

Verse2
Some people vandalize, some skateboard, some protest, their all rebels with a cause,
and I love them all, I'm all 3 in one, They all kept me out of drugs when I was growing up In a city full of sin, it's a pity on the wind, good kids going bad, drug dealers getting cash, young women making stacks off their ass, never drinking holy water there's something else in the tap, pardon me I have to laugh at that, ha ha, yea, that only proves that ignorance is bliss, and all these people wanna catch what's swimming in the water cuzz the money is the fish, god bless them though, they don't know better, they just wanna turn their lives into a heaven, that's why they don't listen, I don't blame them though, I guess that it is my purpose to tell them

Chorus x2
New me, times changed
cut the radio off and hear the rain
Brothers, Sisters follow me,
Open your eyes and just see,
this world is a place full of evil and good,
I know it's hard trying to find which path to choose,
but if you do the wrong things do them the right way
cuzz im doing bad things living life the good way



Follow Me

Verse 1
My relationships turn to shit, I'm always on my selfish shit,
Even though I know I gotta selfless girl, who loves me more than she loves herself,
and I never take the time to realize what's her worth,
Maybe I just take some things for granted but if it's new gear it's like oh man,
I gotta have it, and that's the problemo, this is no bueno, I didn't the memo,
Somebody send help I need a lifeguard, come on cupid shoot another arrow,
Im tired Im tired of breaking her heart, and I don't wanna part,
I feel like a car and the motors bout to blow it's a standard,
headed up the hill just to drop down backwards, let the fire burst into flames,
and let it burn into ashes.

Chorus
This might be my last chance, this might be my last dance,
should I switch it up, change the pace, switch my stance,
This might be a glance into my past,
This might be my last chance, this might be my last dance,
should I switch it up, grip my pants,change the pace, switch my stance,
this might be a glance into my past.

Verse 2
The choice of a second chance is more likely,
but another chance of f*cking up is more like me,
I cant sing I'm always off key,
I never knew how to love no one taught me,
My mother left me for my stepdad,
and my father played the role of my best friend,
My best friends my dad and he's my mentor so
let the story begin,
Na. you never taught me how to love, I guess that's one thing
you don't do as a monk, you give me advice, say bye then hang up,
im the growing tree, im your seed, im your son, im the bullet,
your the gun, im what you bleed, im your blood, but what if 
I told you there's another one, and I gotta get her back because
my heart is the universe, im the moon she's the sun.

Chorus
This might be my last chance, this might be my last dance,
should I switch it up, change the pace, switch my stance,
This might be a glance into my past,
This might be my last chance, this might be my last dance,
should I switch it up, grip my pants,change the pace, switch my stance,
this might be a glance into my past.

Last Chance

Verse 1 
Still lost trying to find out what my purpose is,
God and music are the main things in what im focused in,
Never paid any attention to the fakes and Illusionist's,
I aint down with hocus pocus sh*t,
Sent here to give y'all the facts,
While these other dudes putting up act's,
I don't pay them no mind no time,
I gota, I gotta shine so grind for that,
I keep balance so I stay on my 50-50,
I give dap so the people stay f*cking with me,
but I gotta stay in sight stay in mind,
I gotta, I gotta give them my life so they believe me,
So when they see me, they believe me,
So when they see me they believe me,
This another beat by incise,
Im just trying to give you insight.

Theres so much on my mind like how I want to rewind time to see my pre life
better yet fast forward to death, so I can see whats next. Is there afterlife existence? Or is that too distant for me to ponder about? I know I should be more worried about the present, but it haunt's me to know if there is a heaven or a hell, or will I reach freedom or be stuck in jail, Or nothing at all, Is life just a twisted fairy tail? And is my life pre-determined or am I in charge of my own fate? Im convinced that seeking, believing, and questioning are all tied together. Because if you seek and question you must believe that there is something... but in the end, they are all just verbs. An action.



What's my purpose?

Walking

Lost in translation, chemical imbalance, god is who I love and the devils who I dance with, Like a chick that's bi trying to choose sides or a married man who Is sleeping with his mistress, karma sutra, switching positions, bifocal game, double vision, stuck in between playing out the roles of a hero and a villain now I gotta make decisions, Im still lost cuzz a hero to the people is a a villain to the villains so what is the difference? Eternal warfare that's what it is, a never ending battle, who decides who wins? I wanna make it to the top and never descend, there's two goals I don" know which one to defend, Spiritual warfare, Spiritual warfare, Spiritual warfare, Spiritual warfare, Eternal warfare that's what it is, a never ending battle, who decides who wins? I never follow people and I learned from scarface at an early age that you never win with evil, He grew an ego and as soon as that money came in and flowed over he got on his steeple, He was killing people, cocaine cowboy bad mother f*cker just pushing work, now he's in the dirt, six feet under, that's karma, a law of the universe, eternal warfare, that's what it is, a never ending battle, who decides who wins? I wanna make it to the top and never descend, there's two goals and I don't know which one to defend, when I die I want to be a legend, I want to leave a legacy of history for all the good I did, to my kids, to my family, to the people, to my friends, to anybody that ever had a dream and never found the courage to go out and chase it, just because they don't believe that they could make it, either that or one because that they are faithless, spiritual warfare, spiritual warfare, spiritual warfare, spiritual warfare, eternal warfare, that's what it is, a never ending battle, you decide who wins,yea, you decide who wins, you decide who wins, and there aint no ties, that's just lies, I've been forced to choose sides, I've been forced to choose sides, and I choose to do good, GOD OVER EVERYTHING.

Eternal Warfare

It all began in middle-school when my friend introduced me to Hip-Hop. It was a genre that I didn't fully explore yet so it was new, fresh and soothing to the soul, but I didn't know why. I didn't have the ability to comprehend the substance within the lines, but I felt the words. In the middle of my sophomore year in high school, my cousin showed me that he was recording songs using his desktop computer and I decided to take a stab on a verse. Ever since that day we recorded our first song, I was hooked. I was hooked on Hip-Hop like a fiend that craves heroine. Coming from a broken home and city, hip-hop was my escape. I started to break dance, tag and even DJ, but writing rhymes always stuck. It wasn't until I met a creative writing teacher by the name of Mr. Maxwell who inspired me to start publishing my music and artwork. If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't be on here. With all that said and done, here on the site are some of my favorite songs made and the most played. I stopped writing rhymes, but I haven't stopped writing. Hopefully I will publish a couple books in the next 3 years. Anyways, my soul is laid out for you to hear within these songs so I hope you enjoy them. Feel free to like or share them. It wouldn't be that bad to be a one hit wonder...
