lyrics

Cooking up raps in my bachelor pad
In St. Katts, freestyling to catch some laughs
No master plan, no scheme for the cream
Though it seemed like my chances were half and half
But my last name lacked impact and magic
And I’d feel more relaxed if I had a mask
Should I have a stage name? Okay great
Hmm. Danger makes my life sound action packed
And that’s the joke. I’m a rapper, yo
Self consciously wearing snapbacks to shows
But years after I feel like rap is home
And I can come out my shell. Pistachio

No capes. No characters
No mask even though it’s way more scarier
Still me how I rep from the very first
Pair o’ words ’til I gotta jet like a carrier
No suit or webs to shoot
No gold lasso when I tell the truth. It’s okay
I ain’t afraid of a little change
I guess now Danger is my middle name

I mean sure. It’s a sweet word
But in these terms it’s a feet first leap
Think it’s high time I tried the high dive
Toes to the sky and my teeth to the sea
And get down with the manta rays
Rocking only swim trunks and a family name
I hope my fan base understands, but hey
Either way I can say that I can’t complain
Because y’all been so good to me
Letting a rapper open up like a book to read? Mm
So whether comic or non-fic it’s honestly
On with the show while I push the dream. But this time

No capes. No characters
No mask even though it’s way more scarier
Still me how I rep from the very first
Pair o’ words ’til I gotta jet like a carrier
No suit or webs to shoot
No gold lasso when I tell the truth. It’s okay
I ain’t afraid of a little change
I guess now Danger is my middle name

No capes no mask
I wholeheartedly face those facts
Get it? Mask? Face? Eye hole? Ya, I’m cold
No cure when the rhymes get to my throat
I don’t do it to the half like a 9-hole
All night long for the track like I’m Lionel
Fine bro. I’ll let my bloodline show
So tribal. Rolling in a group like a slime mould

Because slime moulds are single-celled organisms
That come together to form reproductive structures
They’re basically nature’s version of the Megazord from Power Rangers
Which I wasn’t allowed to watch as a kid
Unless I was at a friend’s house and they were watching it anyways
So I saw maybe three like episodes
But that didn’t stop me from drawing many, many pictures
Of these costumed heroes
Speaking of which

No capes. No characters
No mask even though it’s way more scarier
Still me how I rep from the very first
Pair o’ words ’til I gotta jet like a carrier
No suit or webs to shoot
No gold lasso when I tell the truth. It’s okay
I ain’t afraid of a little change
I guess now Danger is my middle name
