SELF PROCLAIMED 2
DAX Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll keep on saying I'm the greatest until we both believe it
Nothing's impossible
It's Dax
Huh, you ready

I gave up hooping for these rapping ways (Rapping ways)
I told my momma we see better days (We see better days)
I'm going hard like when I masturbate (C'mon)
I guess I never passed that age (Fuck!)
I remember days I didn't pray and now I'm on my knees that shit was just a phase
I garnered fame but I ain't never changed
They say I'm humble but they didn't know I'm staring death right in the face
Forcing me to calculate
Think 'bout every move I make
They could never take me, I'm a guardian to heaven's gate
Now I'm here to captivate
Moving at a rapid pace
Nothing into something now it's Dax the one they can't erase
Separating fame from actuality, I navigate
While moving through a sea of pessimistic people that are fake
Imitate, innovate, educate, infiltrate, separate, segregate
All just to accelerate, a path that I was destined on to walk and I refuse to wait
For someone else to crown me so I name myself the heavyweight, champion
If I get knocked off I will be back again
Those who didn't believe I closed my eyes and turned my back on them
Speaking mediocrity
Don't understand like Mandarin
So if it ain't success man I ain't picking up or answering
I'm the one who put myself here
I'm the one who told the devil, fuck off, it's only God I fear
I'm the one who put the stars into alignment
Had a dream and then collided it would work and then
I named the perfect time
And I'm the one that fell down, bounced back, relapsed, got lapped
Reclassed but never fell off track
Fighting demons in the evening overnight while I was cleaning
7.25 an hour was the wage, no cap
I am the definition
I don't lack skill, I lack recognition
I don't have dreams, I have premonitions
Every single word I spit is ammunition
Gassing on the competition
Never break a sweat this shit is practice like an exhibition
Fuck permission I ain't never asking I don't need forgiveness that is weakness
Only time I bow is when I'm meeting Jesus
That is genius
Let a fuck nigga hate
Went from nothing into something
Watch a nigga go great
So what you gonna say
What you gonna do
How are you gonna let a janitoring nigga outperform you
I came from the bottom and I swear I'm here to warn you
That everything I do is destiny 'cause I was born to
Seek and disarm you
Eat in regards to every other rapper verse me is just partial
On a fucking mission that's comparable to Marshall
Pac, Big, Cole, Jay, Nas
Fuck you, even if you wanna hate on me, I will still love you
Niggas throwing dirt all on my name, I can't trust you
Climbing to the top, yeah, something that I must do
That I must do
It's Dax

Chase your dreams




What people say about you, says more about them
Never forget that

I will become great
I will become known
I will become unforgettable
I will live up to my potential
I will surpass it
I will die having achieved all I've set out to do.

You've lit this fire in me, and nobody on this earth will put it out.

Thank you Dax, much love brother.
