ATOMIC i BOMB like OPPENHEIMER my STEAK in the game is a harsh reminder the BEEF i COOK is the RAREst kinda they LABEL me MAJOR and always MINOR in the flow tactics and promotional styles, I use to engage in the masses RUNNING the GAME but when I SPAZ, they blame it on LACTIC ACID cause they know I’m AUTOMATIC I DON’T MISS they MOVE THE BASKET they say I’m OUT OF MY MIND, but I’m the one who’s CONSCIOUS RAPPING living way below my means avoiding baby mama advances thinking for myself and not getting tricked into political stances dumb antics, trigger words, gaslighting, or semantics if Americas printing money then why the hell am I paying taxes global warming’s real detrimental and problematic but I’m not buying an electric car cause all they’ll do is control and crash it like the stock market first destroy the nuclear family The women are easier targets, call it toxic masculinity until they need it to fight the wars they’ve started incentivize single motherhood then promote through the music department then call DAX trash and thought provoking music literal garbage no wonder the youth are so lathargic soft, easily influenced, lack stability self awareness and are guzzling ritalin ADHD’s over diagnosed, kids don’t lack focus They’ve had an iPad since two and the algorithms potent but I’m off that SWITCHING GEARS V12 with the bars STICK then I move SHIFT then i’m in the clear and at BAY like the BUCCANEERS TAMPA with the flow, i’ll put it in CRUISE cause my CONTROLS approaching speeds of top 5 and potentially the goat HAHA but no for real I just turned 30 years old I’ve been beat down, stepped on, cheated on and broke I was invisible as Daniel then became Dax and awoke into a lifestyle where I wish I had an invisibility cloak Ain’t that funny women like you more when you have money, I go stupid but ain’t no dummy and I know if the cash flow stops some of you wouldn’t love me, and that’s why I value respect cause you can love me and hurt me but if you respect and fear losing me, you’ll always second-guess come correct reply texts in like 30 minutes or less and make sure when you’re around me you always have a good breath not manipulate me with sex then divorce me cause you’re not happy then take half of my wealth and say you need to go find yourself WHAT THE F-- well actually I don’t cuss cause I’m a Christian Jesus died on the cross for my sins and I’m forgiven these verses take you to church and help you with mental illness that’s why I don’t call it music I call this here a religion and that’s why I’m quitting rap the religions being abused rap used to tell a story and now it’s all for the views I look around at the world turn on the TV and news and it feels like I’m on the TRUMAN SHOW so what do I do I go to the JIM and CAREY the heaviest weight I can find, building up my strength, then sharpening my mind with books like BIBLE i QU-RAN for miles but i TORAH whole in my sneakers trying to lead the blind trying to lift the weight that’s pulling down mankind trying to spark a change in this darkness now i feel heartless I gave you 10 years you ignored me that made me monster who vomits the truth regardless Of what the mainstream wants i POP-CULTURE with each and every song The devils dancing I will not follow along I rebuke him with every lyrical concept as a response from MATTHEW to MARK to LUKE to GENESIS back to JOHN I say KING JAMES these kids think I’m talking about LEBRON I C-LEVE-LAND and travel to every country abroad and disperse HEAT may God have mercy on those trynna hurt me and if I’m not worthy of bearing this cross I pray I fall off and get a regular job back when nobody called back when happiness wasn’t fleeting even though I was barely eating and couldn’t even afford to be in my in feelings or politic with you heathens have anxiety, thoughts of depression and barely breathing momma told me that life a test And most people cheating Looking at others papers copying and agreeing using makeup to cover up scars and adhesions Masking pain with addictions using it to fight demons Watching porn and allowing these women to be a weakness Or get naked for money and sucking guzzling semen and in the midst of her preaching i hit to my knees in agreement Understood the assignment, the expectations, and reasons Hollywood’s Babylon and the hell right underneath it’s the reason they feel the need to proceed and reject Jesus Regardless if you believe it Money power and fame corrupts morality standards mutes and muddy brain I’ve seen it for myself Held and pushed it away spoke the ugly truth Turnt to a renegade

I quit listening to rap for about 16yrs till i first heard "Dear God" reviving my love for the genre. Ever since then you've become my favorite rapper, and your music is having a positive influence on my life. What you do changes lives to an extent you have no idea. I pray and wish you still do it for us. Much love and respect brother ❤

Dax just keep the mind set you have you are truly a lyrical genius. U don’t know me but proud of ya. Stay strong

When you're tired, rest. Not quit. Lots of love and respect for you Dax... Your craft and art is highly embraced by us who can see the picture you paint ♠️

"These verses take you to church and help you with mental illness, thats why I don't call this music I call this here a religion" the power of your verses help tremendously.

You know it’s going to be a banger when you see Dax walking down a random alleyway 🔥🔥🔥

Tell me how Dax isnt Tupac level? Lyrics, heart, ryhme, rhythm, everything. Flawless

I have watched this movie several times without getting tired. Am energized now.

You can literally hear every word. You are a preacher Dax, this is what real music should be all about. Pure artistry.

This is the Dax I fell in love with. Speaking the truth no matter how uncomfortable it may sound. We are not your fans, we are your core followers.

For the algo brother! Well done and thank you for speaking up for millions of people!

Dax: I’m quitting rap 😭 We don’t want to lose another lyrical genius

My Guy don't quit. You the reason rap is still alive in this modern era. Your words are powerful man. Life changing. People listen to u. Stay in the game man it needs u.

We are right here big dog! Standing with you even when you don’t see it! You write for us and we will stand for you! That makes us family! Your gonna get through this and come out the other side 10 times stronger then you have ever been!!

You are reaching an audience that is not at church on Sunday. So, in a way you are extending church to them. Sharing the Truth. I could understand every word and your articulation is just mind blowing for your speed. God bless, Dax. Please keep bringing the Truth.

This right here is exactly why rap needs you.

It's a shame that we're in an era when most people don't watch music videos, C'mon guys this is an art.

DAX THESE BARS flying of the top shelf with some heat spicy sauce!

I have never been as loved by a song as I was, in OKC October 2023, by your concert with Phix. You each played a song that brought me to tears while in the audience.

The industry's messed up,they don't deserve you. I pray God protects you all the time, you're a blessing to our generation.

Dax, don't quit music, people need this.

Whether you choose to quit or stay rapping, just know you've helped a lot of souls with relatable lyrics, and you'll never be truly gone. Your music will always be around in the world. Thank you for all you've done. 🙏

I cannot believe it. The greatest of this decade is quitting- Dax is the reason why I listen to modern rap; he "brought life back into the game". Other people made it generic and filled with auto tune, Dax resurrected the genre to its original glory and altered it with his own insane flows. His career was in a cyclical structure- it started and ended with bangers. Thank you for your inspiring, motivational and truthful lyrics Dax.

This is the dax I like. No voice auto tuning, direct and meaningful lyrics, natural.

Lord protect this legend at all cost 🙏

The only rapper who is real. Motivation in every bar

My God I can't believe how good this was. This is feels "above" everything that is being produced right now.

Now THAT was EPIC. Not to mention that looked like it was all one take? You are an AMAZING TALENT. PLEASE dont quit. Take a break...but please don't quit. God Bless

This is what the rap game needs. Dax’s lyricism is always top-notch, but this was particularly impressive.

Dax I swear you have the most talent out here. Rap or singing. All your music tells a story and also provides help and healing. You should be on the airwaves.

“That’s why I value respect cos you can love me and hurt me but if you respect and fear losing me you’ll always second guess” THIS HIT HOME!🔥

This is so powerful! Had goosebumps during the entire song!

Nah, you can't leave us Dax. You are one of the only rappers who gives me the same feeling for rap, just as i did when i grew up to it.

Literally hitting every single flow, while giving your life to the lord. It’s beautiful. Thats the real art.

Don't quitting rap bro

I literally had to listen to this like twenty times, this song is LOADED, bruh. I feel like I need to take it verse by verse. Just wow.

Nobody can put this much substance with zero filler in 5 and 1/2 minutes like this man can

The realest renegade: Damn beast and Unapologetically dropping the real shit. No wonder DAX remains an NDEPENDANT artist: staying away from big record label propaganda, agendas. So glad ive collaborated with him multiple times. Man's a genius and above all, man of God

You took the words out my mouth Dax! Thank you for giving me those words

Amen for Dax getting out of the poison before it poisoned him.

Also, Thank you for the song Dear Alcohol. I had a problem with alcohol and when I heard it play one day it helped me realize what I didn’t want to be and I played it on repeat as that constant reminder. I don’t have a problem with alcohol anymore, Praise God and thank you DAX!!

Im glad that you finally put it out there im getting tired of god getting taken out of everything, ive been a christian for 20 yrs. And i love praising him and thanking him everyday i wake up. Your music is a wake up call and i hope ppl get the message soon. That they are nothing without God in their lives. Love ya Dax. And God bless. Thank you

I’m a Christian rapper/producer/mixing & mastering engineer. I’ve been making music for over 27 years so I’ve come across a lot of artists. You Dax, are still one of my faves of all time. God bless you my brother!🙌🏼 To God be the glory!

No expensive cars No nudity No half naked girls in the background No hate speech 100% talent. Respect DAX ♥️

That’s was sick bro, God bless you my dude.

At like 3:45 when he hits that emenim style flow it's absolutely legendary. Idk if I'm tripping or what but rn I hear it and it's so 🔥 and respectful

“If I’m not worthy of bearing this cross, I pray I fall off and get a regular job.” That line is a special one. Keep pressing forward in God’s will for you. Have loved listening to you since Newman ❤

lyricists like you are one in a million. Never quit. Your music breaks barriers.

Please don't quit DAX!!!! You have an amazing God-given talent!

Dax is proof that you dont need much to make banger videos. Just hit record, spit, DONE 🔥 Legend

easily the most underrated lyricist of our generation 🔥🔥🔥

Damn. You're not QUITTING Dax. Quitting means you give up on TRYING to accomplish a mission. You have ACCOMPLISHED a mission. You have reached SO many people. There are so many of us out here that truly understand what you have been doing. You have opened SO many eyes. All of yourself that you have given is appreciated by more than I think you can EVER know. What you do is SO much bigger than the "rap game" and I am thankful for all you have done. If you're seriously done rapping don't ever say you're quitting. You can't quit from a mission you have already accomplished. I wish you the best in your RETIREMENT. You're in my prayers forever, just as you always have been. I'm going to miss you my man! 🙏🏻😕

Much love from Lusaka capital city of zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲👊🔥

Dax you did it again! Lyrical Genius!

The whole community wil miss you dax 😭 May you find strength in god and lead a happy life.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL SONGS OF DAX AND IT EASLY BEATS EVERY SONG ON THE CHART WHEN IT COMES TO MEANING

Please don't quit, you are the reason I'm here today. Your talent touches many and is like no other.

Verse after verse... Zero chorus, guy is a lyrical genius!!! ❤

This is why dax is my favorite. The lyricist that he is. The word play in this and the styles that's done. From dear God, joker, rap God, to be a man, real man and dear alcohol. Keep it going dax!

Dax bringing back memories of when I first found your music when you were still a janitor, now look where you are and how many lives you have changed with your music. Thankyou Dax 🙏🏼

The Mount Rushmore of Rap just got the facelift it needs. You deserve every bit of success you’ve achieved, and you’re only just getting started. Absolute beast of a human 🔥

You are a man of truth DAX, that I've never seen and heard at all that sticks to the truth only.... I wish men in this world be like you and chase God not the God who they call devil.... God bless Dax and he is with you forever....from Namibia

No don't quit, I'm still waiting for the one hour rap😭

Man. This hit right off. Please don't quit rap. You can always change what you rap about as you continue to experience life, but please don't quit rap.

Dax your music speaks volume, please don't stop doing what you do🙏

Dax, you're a Lyrical Genius who exemplifies rap as musical poetry. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with the world.

Dax is one of one. Let's protect him at all costs... we appreciate you King

"I go stupid but I ain't dummy ",... The best one yet

I was here 5/7/2024.... Thank you Dax, you're always spitting words that do cut through the physical ❤❤

Dax is Genius, much love from Kenya 🇰🇪

This actually made me realize why I don't like "new" rap, and it's exactly as it was said. "Rap used to tell a story, now it's all for the views" Always have been a fan of the classics because they were real. This is what we need, not for the views, but to correct what music is becoming, in every genre, not just rap.

"I say King James, these kids think I'm talking about Lebron"🔥🔥🔥

The song by Dax is impactful and showcases a high level of talent. The lyrics are powerful and skillfully crafted. Keep inspiring and educating the next generation, Dax. ❤

Fire, we can't let you quit dax. You're a lyrical genius and speaking nothing but truth put the industry on blast ❤

Your music helped inspire my wife and I to go to church. Depression, Dear God, and so many more.(those 2 hit me in the heart). Thank you! Your music is inspiring to all who listen.

My son said, "Don't quit Dax you got this you are the best". Thanks for the inspiration we love you and take the time to do you.

Don't quit rap bro. I NEED that therapy you give to us ❤

Damn man, mad respect!!

I'm a metal head, but your music changed me. I'm not religious, but I'll pray for you.

This dude is really elite. I miss these freestyles but I see he just working on his craft. All I need is these freestyles and the "real" tracks he be making like "Real man". He album ready. This is super dope on a classic beat.

This my anthem for life. Don't quit DAX.

Dax you can't stop the rap. It is where you came from and how you gained all your fans and made you who you are today!!! We need the rapping dax

No other artist is doing this. Just the artist a camera and an alley. No crazy edits and auto tune to distract you from the music and lyrical genius here. That’s raw talent. And it’s incredibly rare. It show cases how powerful Dax’s message is. Give him a camera and time to write a song and he’ll leave you glued to your screen for every second of it. Powerful message here. We all need to hear this!! 🤘🏼🔥🎤🫳

come on dax, don't quit rapping. The real fans love when you rap...

4:25 That pac flow coming out 🔥🔥🔥

🔥🔥🔥 @THATSDAX OHHHHHH WHAT!!!!!!!! DAX ON FIRE 🔥AGAIN!!!!!! Dax, your music helped me get through the toughest times in my life. I use to listen to you in prison on my tiny clear plastic radio with my one earbud that worked with my SCDC number etched on the back. After burying my son, addiction, sexual assault... God transformed me and He used you Dax to do it!!! 8 years sober and trusting Him through everything now not caring who judges me for me doing so! Listened to these lyrics literally over 100 times listening over and over again when it just dropped... I'm still in AWE of you, Dax! 🙌🏽 THANK YOU GOD FOR USING DAX AS A VESSEL! GOD BLESS YOU FOR ALL YOU DO DAX! ❤️‍🔥🙏🏾❤️‍🔥🙏🏼❤️‍🔥🙏❤️‍🔥🙏🏾❤️‍🔥🙏🏻 LOVE YOU DAX ❤❤❤

I said this on another post about you and someone in the comments and said it was pathetic that your music has influenced me and has changed my life and has saved me multiple times. I really hope that you keep following your path and you be the best version you can be because I will support and love everything you do and that’s coming from a true. you’ve had a fan in me for damn near the beginning… thank you so much for everything. I love you Dax. you don’t know me. I don’t know you personally, but you’re my brother. I’ll look up to you for the rest of my life and at the same time follow my path to my path to 100% true me. 🙏🏼✨💪🏼

If you truly are quitting rap it's extremely disappointing because you have immense talent. As someone who is not religious, but has been a fan for several years, I respected your musical diversion this past year or so while hoping you'd throw some rap at us every so often. Whatever you do decide to do I respect it and respect the great rap remixes, freestyles and original music you've given us all these years and will continue to enjoy them for many years to come. One of the greatest I've ever come across. Thank you, Dax.

“If America printing the money, then why the hell am i paying taxes”. This bar got me thinking twice 🤔 🔥😂💯

The way you connect words and emotions to tell so many stories and make points is a true gift. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world. Will beyond miss your raps, but so excited to see what’s next for you! You are a light in this dark world. 🙏🏻

I love you Dax.. Always listen to all your music ...God bless you in your choice

This man doesn't get the flowers he deserve, this industry is messed up and rigged i personally don't blame him for quitting as he'll always remain a GOAT to all his true fans. WE LOVE YOU DAX!!!

A white boy from a small Minnesotan town who only ever thought Eminem, Dre and dudes of that caliber were good at making this kind of music, which is strange to me. Dax is that good. Keep going. Beating the pants off any of this Billboard Hot 100 so called rap artists.

I was introduced to your music from my son. I appreciate your talent to rap and rhyme without cursing and degradation. Good on you, bud. Great rap.

We know the cross gets heavy, but as long as you hold on millions stay awake , thank you for this 🔥 song

Now we need the 2 artists that don't "rap" but go beyond that with their lyrics and intent. DAX and NF masterpiece

I really hope he's not quitting rap. The game needs him and more like him whether it'll admit it or not.

One of the few keeping the bars of rap alive. Much love dax ❤️

Daniel, its not your fault that they havent stood up. You are changing lives. Helping ppl to “stand”. There is still time.

Don't quit Rap, your music inspire and give hope to us who lost a lot and faced a lot of trauma in Life.🙏😣
