LYRICS:

Listen - imagine Dan sat in the back of an ambulance
chatting to Adam and telling him that he's had enough of this madness
Fuck if that actually happenedm I haven't the faintest clue
The concussion had damaged my grey matter and mushed my brain to goo
but when I unravelled the bandage to see my face anew
my eyes' vacant gaze described what I should aim to do
and that's whatever the fuck it takes to make it through
Enough pussying about, now I'm a sabretooth, and nature's brutal
In the old days I used to say I didn't need to pay my dues
Ha - how far was I away from truth?
And in the old days I used to wait for opportunities to happen
Now I make my opportunities and grab them

What doesn't kill will not make you stronger
but at least you're going to live a little longer
so take everything right on the chin
and never ever ever give in

I was nearly a limited edition
because I could have been swimming with the fishes
but being in critical condition
would give me the volition
to fulful my mission as a skilled musician, ambition:
kill competition with my ill compositions
and then build my position up until I'm a religion
Roll up, roll up my shirt sleeves, I see the vision,
Turn the key in the ignition
burn and speed into the distance
even if it means you're gonna be in a collision
well at least you've given us a firm reason to listen
Desert the feeble disposition
learn to feed on criticism
spurn the media's derision
earn your keep and keep on living
Hurting people is a piece of piss
but it requires guts to be kind
I don't know why I didn't see this shit
I must have been blind
But even despite that dust in my eye will never settle
I will never bite the dust 'til I die

What doesn't kill will not make you stronger
but at least you're going to live a little longer
so take everything right on the chin
and never ever ever give in

Look - whether you're holding a bunch of roses
or holding a gun just know this
you've got to soldier on, roll with the punches, throw fists
Keep holding on, lift that boulder on your shoulders strong
Souls are one thing, but the body's been evolving long
before you ever knew the pain
It's hurting me

Recuperation is a state of elevation
gave me endless days to meditate and strengthen every failing I had
Being a patient gave me patience and determination
dedication to bettering Dan
Man, I've taken beatings, taken knees to the face
My bloodstream stained the streets of this place
where I reside, seeped through the pavement
making me a piece of the neighbourhood
Could you keep it more real than me right there if you tried?
From the stitches in my elbow to the tears in my side
my scars are badges of honour, I bear them with pride
They stitched my scalp, fixed my split eyebrow
and another time they took out a bit of my bowel
Being a patient gave me patience and determination
helped me to see a way out of the maze, found an escape
came out of the daze
How many ways more will I be knocked to the ground, now?
But they named me Danny Boy
because you're never going to keep me down

What doesn't kill will not make you stronger
but at least you're going to live a little longer
so take everything right on the chin
and never ever ever give in

  • I remember watching "Death of ACTA" on TPB, then I subscribe to his channel

    BEST CHOICE I EVER MADE

  • OMG!!! I´m gonna BUY his album. He´s amazing, yet he gives out his music FREE. He only thinks about peoples enjoyment. He has one of the greatest and gifted talented I have ever experienced, and on the top of it all, he rhymes bout real shit AND doesn´t give two shits about the money. He thinks people should get a right to enjoy music for free and that deserves some fucking respect...

see all

  • @Corroidz epic song too

    Dan is like a drug LOL

  • @anongordetas SOPA Cabana for me.

  • @thecooestlguyever Exactly, I hope he continues this business model. I'm definitely buying that fucking album.

  • Love the music. Sometimes it's hard to pick out what he's saying since I'm American and not used to British accents.

  • I want to send him money but I dont know how.

  • Seriously dude, just go on a world tour already.

  • Wow, I had lost hope in modern rap for quite some time. You are one of the rare exceptions that can portray rap as a legitimate form of art. I absolutley love how you decided to stray away from shit like "slappin' hoes" and "making money" or even "slanging rocks" instead you exploit words and transform them into a greater beauty, a dying talent indeed.

  • I wish I found out about Dan Bull before now... Im not going to lie, I found because of the Skyrim rap and stayed for the best rap songs ever!

  • every time I lost hope on internet comments

    I just read some comments in any Dan´s videos

    you got the best fans

  • Post to Amazon MP3?
