Prism

I’m awake but I’m dreaming — guess I multitask

Mind’s running laapss but never asks if I’m built to laaaasst.

Got a demon in my thoughts, but he’s just a tenant,

Pays rent in anxiety — yeah, he stays in the present.

A lil’ dab lifts the weight — call it mental proof.

Head high, bounce to the beat, got no ex-cuse —

“I’m the greatest,” I whisper — affirmaaationssss

Even when they doubt me I rise in all situaaationsss

You talk slick? I talk slicker — on that retaliation,

Even the OGs still smile like, (“yeah… Danny D been patient.”)

More than a moment, or just passing through?

Different dimensions — guess different points of views

Bent like light through a prism, purple-blue hue,

Seeing life in new colors wish you could see through.

Topaz drip, sapphire shine, but I’m still low-lit defined,

Life’s a river running wild — I just go with it.

Tried to drown me in the deep, but I float with it—

Guess I’m water-resistant, I was plopped into existence.

A lil’ dab lifts the heavy weight — call it mental proof.

Head high, bounce to the beat, there’s no excuse —

“I’m the greatest,” I whisper — affirmations,

Manifesting in the mirror like a spell it’s a incantation.

You talk slick? I talk slicker — on retaliation,

Even the OGs look twice like, “yeah… Danny D’s been changin’.”
