The World Is Yours
Danny! Lyrics

I'm the most prolific artist, tried to oust Picasso
I have an immense drive and talent in my artistry, even attempting to surpass a widely celebrated artist like Picasso.

Used my whole head; nose bled, rhymes out the nostrils
I put my all into my rhymes, even bleeding from the intensity of my focus and passion.

I always ate supper but my supplement's determination
I've always had basic needs met, but my true driving force and sustenance comes from my relentless ambition and determination.

Dropped a couple hints and yearned for greatness
I've subtly signaled my aspirations and have an insatiable desire for greatness.

Mama I'm GONNA sing
I'm confident in my singing abilities and I'm letting my mother know that I will pursue that path.

I used to keep a stack of records from Stax
I was a collector of records, specifically from the record label Stax.

A record in fact, never met a cat with more records than that
I had an impressive collection of records and had never met anyone with more records than me.

Ample samples for pickin', my hands was cramped from the mixin'
I had a vast variety of samples to choose from when creating music, and my hands would become cramped from the arduous task of mixing them together.

But dammit Dan's so ambitious, I think he's on to somethin'
Despite the difficulties, my drive and ambition is noticeable and I'm believed to be on the path to success.

Slept on so much it should've been a felony
I was overlooked and underrated to such a degree that it was a crime in and of itself.

Led on so much from lies these niggas sellin' me
I was misled and deceived by false promises and lies from fellow artists.

I k-kept on per good advice my friends would tell to me
I persevered and followed through with advice from supportive friends.

Now I'm the best on the scene, my seams is bustin', Della Reese
I've proven myself and am now considered a top artist in the industry, gaining attention from even legendary figures like Della Reese.

And thanks to Jocelyn
I owe part of my success to a woman named Jocelyn.

I ain't had to worry 'bout the gangsta posturin'
I didn't have to pretend to be something I'm not, like a stereotypical gangsta rapper.

She kept my head afloat when all them gangs was watchin' and
Jocelyn supported and uplifted me during times when the gangster lifestyle and culture was prominent.

Told me to be myself and now D. Swain's on top again
Jocelyn encouraged me to be authentic and true to myself, leading to my success as D. Swain.

Danny was bored
I, Danny!, was feeling unchallenged or uninspired.

So he dropped a classic album
To combat my boredom, I released a timeless and iconic music album.

Wound up at the Grammy Awards
My album was so successful that it resulted in me being nominated for a prestigious Grammy Award.

Below the stage, front page
Despite not having a performance at the Grammys, I still garnered significant attention and recognition from the media.

That means I'm smarter than you other rappers, truth hurts
My success and achievements highlight my superior intelligence and talent compared to other rappers.

Snuck a peek up Robin Troup's skirt, while you watched at home
I had a memorable moment at the Grammys where I saw under singer Robin Troup's dress, unlike those who only watched it on television.

Keep watchin' holmes (catch up niggas)
Those who underestimated me should continue to watch and try to catch up to my level of success.

The world is yours baby, and that's the truth
The world is yours to conquer and claim your own.

Don't ever let nobody tell you what you can and what you can't do
Ignore anyone who tries to limit your potential or ambition.

(True!) 'Cause in this life you only get a chance or two
Opportunities in life are limited, so make the most of the ones you're given.

(True!) Don't take these dreams for granted, make your plans and move
Don't take your aspirations for granted, make a plan and take action towards achieving them.

The world is yours baby, all you have to do is try
With effort and willpower, the world is at your fingertips.

You're bound to reach the stars if you just shoot for the sky
Setting ambitious goals and striving towards them will lead to great success and achievement.

Now watch me soar across the skies y'all
Watch me achieve significant success and recognition in my career.

Ambition big as Tracee Ellis Ross's eyeballs
My drive and ambition is immense, as notable as the size of Tracee Ellis Ross's eyes.

They thought I'd gone and forgot my Roots like Dice Raw
People believed I had strayed from my roots and forgotten where I came from, like how rapper Dice Raw had distanced himself from The Roots.

(Never that) Eat competition like a Tyson brawl
I would never forget my origins and I dominate the competition similar to how Mike Tyson won fights through sheer aggression.

Chew you up and spit you out
I surpass and leave behind any competition that comes my way.

They told me n-never argue with fools
I was advised to never engage in arguments with unintelligent or irrational people.

So I stayed in my lane just like a car pool
I stayed focused and dedicated to my path, similar to how cars stay in designated and organized lanes in a car pool.

Stayed true to myself and dammit if it didn't pay off
I remained authentic to who I am, and that dedication resulted in success.

Critics' predictions way off
Critics' predictions and expectations were severely incorrect.

But you know I shed some tears; +Why Must I Cry+ like Reh Dogg?
Despite my success, there were difficult and emotional moments similar to artist Reh Dogg's song 'Why Must I Cry.'

Why must I stress, a lot can happen in a year's time
It's important to not stress or worry, as a lot can happen either positively or negatively in a year's time.

I disappeared so my career would be revered, I'm
I may have gone under the radar for a while, but it was to build anticipation and impress those who may have overlooked me before.

Still tryin' to climb and make my mark just like brasierre lines
I am still ambitious and working towards making a name for myself, similar to how bra lines mark a woman's growth and development.

Would've had a singer on this track but Britney Spears declined
I attempted to collaborate with Britney Spears on this song, but she unfortunately declined.

But no worries, too much at stake to lose
Despite the setback, I have too much at stake and too much to lose to give up.

Cats be like 'if this corny nigga can make it, then I can make it too'
Other artists may have doubted me or found me unimpressive, but now see my success as a path they too can follow.

Now I'm their inspiration but no one will come
Despite being seen as inspiration, few artists actually succeed to the extent I have.

As far as me, star of 'D. Swain Motivation 101', +Let's Get It+
I am seen as a motivational figure and even host a program called 'D. Swain Motivation 101.'

I thought I told you I won't lose, I'm in my prime
I am confident in my abilities and success and will not lose or regress.

While all y'all struggle with the 'wish-I-had-skills-but-I-don't' blues
While other artists may struggle with a lack of talent or skill, I maintain my drive and ability.

You tried to deny me but I don't give a flying fuck
Others may have tried to hold me back or dampen my success, but their actions won't stop me.

I'm on iTunes, you're on iSuck
I am a successful artist on a popular platform like iTunes, while those who tried to stop me are stuck in oblivion.

Ya time's up nigga
Those who tried to hold me back are out of time and out of luck now that I've reached the level of success I have.
