(Chorus X 2)

Ya got the simple plan mapped out from the beginning

It's all organized how ya play the innings

But shit can change straight from the beginning

Enough to leave ya whole head spinning

So they decide to breed, have a seed

All intentions to watch their child succeed

Under there eyes and what they believe

Hey does the kid have a say in what he wants to achieve

Or will the parents thrive on greed

I bleed when I receivе a scratch

Seen so many parents yell and scream

Whеn the child fails to catch

So they lose the match, And the folks overact

Fortunately my parents weren't ever like that

But a fact of the matter is I stepped off the track

And the mat that they had laid down for me

Hopeful to see perhaps a university degree

Receive at the lowest a C, but I reached beneath the deep

Life ain't always what it's cracked up to be

But fuck the misery

I hold pride and dignity, don't need your sympathy

Here ya go man anyway what ya better be kidding me ..

360 degrees I flow with the breeze, ya after the cheese

When I'd prefer the salada, life can get harder

The charter began as sperm

Then ya wormed ya way outta mummies tummy

They stare down on you hoping not to get the dummy

Or at least that ya nose ain't runny

Hey it's a girl, eh this is my sonny ?

But don't worry, cause a parents love is unconditional

Well so they say, day by day

I wonder which other way I could have gone

I'm quite fond of this path I'm on

But some eyes despise and believe it's wrong

Nevertheless strong is how I feel

They suggest prospects of a record deal

Selling out to the mass appeal

Reel in the money, but what a crummy life to live

(Chorus X 2)

I apologise for any lies, so hard I do try

Though ya may not realise

A heart at a large size

I know you'll always be by my side

Yet I can see it in ya eyes

You fear I'll be washed up by the tide

I take the ride without being phased

This shit is of a high grade

I hear what ya say, my area is grey

Rhyming the way I wanna spend my days, not just a phase

Perhaps I should a been a DJ

But you'd have preferred something a little more stable..

Like a table with four legs, not three

But admit it.. I'm an MC

Sayin shit loud, cause I'm proud..

And somehow I will support this life I wanna live

Don't give a fuck about blowin' up big

Shit I did in the past, was to make this good thing last

I'm sorry for ruining the simple plan

If ya want I'll wear a mask

So if any one asks.. no one will know who I am

But I'll never be ashamed of being Dan

(Chorus X 2)

I was lucky to always find support

Whether artistically or physically on court

But I guess my parents

Would have never guessed I'd be like this

Most likely their last thought

Taught to stand by ya morals

Remain strong like Boral bricks

Never been into the florals or chick flicks

I'm not quick to dismiss the simple plan

Sure it may have been grand

But it wouldn't have been Dan, maybe Stan or Cam

Damn I wanna break through the set up, get up

Fed up with the rules of survival

In some ways society my arch rival

With more sure shots than a rifle, hip hops disciple

In times of despair positivity is there for the revival

Maybe one day I'll be on Vinyl

Well at least I hope so sorry Folks

I know this was not the plan you wanted me to follow

It appears hollow,but tomorrow will come

And tomorrow brings fun

A son whom ignored the blueprints of societies lifeline

Cause I'm my own person with my own mind, so I will grind

Through hard times in order to climb to where I wanna be

High peak, so I can see what I wanna see

The misconception just a true MC

(Chorus X 2)
