grave danger - maxd17 lyrics

intro:
let me tell you a story
about a man seeking glory
whose life ended in tragedy
his name was john dory
he was quite a shorty
but he was overtook by vanity

verse 1:
i was walking down the street one night
i saw a young man who just escaped a fight
he was asking for money and got f*cked up
i saw three thugs yelling at him “shut up!”
i walked in between them and asked why they had beef
one of the thugs said: “he tried to steal from me, that dumbass thief!”
the man said: “i didn’t steal sh*t i, i asked for spare cash!”
“then you motherf*ckers went and beat my ass!”
the thugs went back to fight, but the man punched one in the head
he got knocked out and his friends thought he was dead
the man stepped on the unconscious man’s chest
he said: “john dory will be the best!”
i asked who john dory was and he said “it’s me.”
“one day i’ll be rich, but now i live under that tree.”
i said “what’s your plan to make the sweet, sweet, dough?”
he said “it started a while ago.”
“my mom was a famous author, writing books.”
“my father was a famous cook.”
“but they died and left all the money to my cousin.”
“because in their eyes i’m just a worthless no one.”
tears started to well up in his eyes
i said to him “no wait, don’t cry!”
“stay with me, until you get better.”
i gave him an old, warm, sweater
he said “my parents made it so no one knew my name.”
“they knew celebrities’ kids got all the fame.”
“my aunt and uncle were the only ones who cared for me.”
“but on a vacation they drowned in the sea.”
“my cousin loved me, but my parents kept us apart.”
“so when i was 16 i decided to depart.”
“one year later i found out they died.”
“they got into a great big fight.”
“five guys tried to mug them and my cousin.”
“i heard that for 15 minutes they were rushin.”
“but the guys caught up to them and beat them to death.”
“they liked my cousin more than me till their last breath.”
“so you asked what i wanna do to make dough?”
“i’m gonna be a rapper and diss my parents some more.”
i said “that’s crazy man cause i’m trying to be a rapper too!”
“we should start a hip*hop duo!”
he liked the idea, and as we walked home
we wrote a sh*t ton of raps about his broken home
chorus:
i know a broke ass motherf*cker in grave danger
he seemed to be quite a bit stranger
than most of the assh0l*s i meet every day
so it was my mission to get this motherf*cker saved

verse 2:
i remember when we first hopped on the mic
he turned on the beat, and he was all like:
“my name is the motherf*cker john dory!”
“and i bet you’d like to hear my story!”
we rapped in the studio and made our first ep
we called it “the adventures of john dory and maxd.”
the first person to listen was his friend jack wishbone
he convinced others to download on their phones
we went viral within a day
so we made a new album called “straight out the alleyway.”
twelve rap songs, and two motherf*cking skits
plus we released a single called “the new*ass sh*t.”
but then he started working on a solo ep
and i started making the maxd ep
now i signed him to garnet records
so i was the stu*di*o landlord
he released his ep called “the john dory story.”
he told tales of poverty, and tales of glory
my ep came out around the same time
i told stories of learning to rhyme
he was jealous because he liked my bars more than his bars
but the thing is, i was just rapping about cars
he told stories, and i liked his raps more than mine
so i taught him some tips on how to rhyme
he just got more and more jealous and mad
but the next morning he seemed so glad
“max, thank you for sheltering me!”
then the whole cycle had a repeat
every day, the same d*mn thing
at first he’s mad, then he acts like i’m a king
i didn’t know if i should leave him or keep him
but i couldn’t drop a rapper who has such a good rhythm
he could be the new biggest rapper of all time
i knew he had potential, with all his angry rhymes
but something was up, he was much more distant
but i respected him, so i let him do the sh*t
but then i started losing money
and john started always acting like something was funny
now i’m a motherf*cker who is in grave danger
i think i was betrayed by a stranger
i knew he was different from the assh0l*s i met every day
so why was my mission to get this motherf*cker saved

verse 3:
i knew he was doing something, that’s why he was distant
then i remembered our contract’s fine print!
i let him write the contract when i signed him to garnet records
i always trusted him, plus i was the label’s overlord
i didn’t check the fine print, i could barely see it
but it was the whole reason i was losing money and sh*t
i checked the contract, and my eyes flooded with tears
“i owe him 50 percent of my salary, due every year.”
i had to read with a magnifying glass, but there it was
so i ran to his room, without pause
i yelled: “you’re out of garnet records unless you pay back my money!”
he started smiling, i got a sick feeling in my tummy
“follow me, i want you to see something.” he said
we checked the contract, and sure enough, i was dead
“john dory can stay as long as he wants.” it read
and suddenly an angry feeling went to my head
i tackled him to the ground, and i tied him up in chains
“stop! stop!” he yelled. “i’m in pain, i’m in pain!”
“write me a check you motherf*cker, and leave the d*mn label.”
“i will, i will, as soon as i’m able!”
i asked what that meant, and he said he’s in debt
“50 thousand to the mafia!” and he seemed upset
“how the h*ll!” i yelled. and he said: “at the poker table.”
that’s why he was so distant, he was betting money from the label!
so i called the cops, to find the gangster he owed
apparently he was a murderer, this, i was not told
he got hauled off to court, and it was just me and john
“now pay me back you assh0l*, the man you owe is gone.”
“how much do i owe you?” “as much as you stole.”
“not 50 percent, not 90, the whole.”
that night i slept, guarding him
the next morning he was gone, and the lights were dim
i ran all around town, searching for john dory
then after 12 hours of searching, i found the shorty
he was dead in an alleyway
it just goes to show, if you get rich fast, don’t let it go to your brain
i went to his funeral, but i was the only one there
i was the only one who cared
now john dory is dead
his fame went to his head
and now he will be in my prayers
