Verse 1
I create a prison in your chest, where my bars are heart felt
Heart wants to jump out at my lyrics but it's a hard sell
An artist painting pictures with a pallet of emotion
A poet, who's favorite facial expression is stoic
Cuz when I take off my mask with a plastic face
You see a basketcase, haunted by his past mistakes
Backstabbin bitches, led me to jail & drugs
And five cops assaulted me no wonder why I fail to trust
Started DJ-ing to pay back my student loans so I'd
Never have to move in home but to get better I did it alone
That's the price I pay in life. Sacrificing days and nights
To maximize my weight & height. to be a bigger man when I'm taking flight
I never stopped writing. Kept putting the permanent pen on the pad
But people don't understand, I had to fall to finally land
Surprised by my success? Then you don't realize the best
Keep their dreams close to the chest: where the blood flow nests
CHORUS
You don't know, what you had, you're gonna find, I ain't so bad
When I'm gone, and your alone, no one to give it to you
Never felt, this before, I don't feel, the same anymore
Cause, I don't need, this shit going on
Verse 2
Every life is a story & I'm tryna right mine
Get in my right mind, use my LIFE LINES before I die
Never felt like this before, you should see me after shows
Conflicted cuz I find more family on the road than at home
My high school father figure told me to give up on hip-hop
"1 in thirty million chance" I LOVE the odds they get me pissed off
So coach this is for you & I. now I'm reaching bluer skies
When I was 18 I failed at everything even suicide
Damn, its crazy thinking that I saw the light
& if I had explored it more I would've never saw tonight
My fear of failure & will to succeed are arm-wrestling
Really not sure which one is gonna win but I keep on pressing
Be-yond guessing, I know the winds of change are blowin
Cuz sin's a name your knowin' & I'm convinced its shame your showin'
Cuz now yall wanna catch up with me? get on with your lonely ass
Don't call me DJ-Sin just call me by the name you know me as
CHORUS
You don't know, what you had, you're gonna find, I ain't so bad
When I'm gone, and your alone, no one to give it to you
Never felt, this before, I don't feel, the same anymore
Cause, I don't need, this shit going on
Verse 3
Heart to heart I'm just a kid that wants to say he's seen it all before drown my career and let it wash up on a Pauly Shore
If you ever thought I was WASTED Talent You're right
Of course I am I'm DRUNK in this booth, THROWIN UP on the mic
Just blowin up and despite Haters flapping their LABIAS
Put a dick in ya lips and enjoy it while K.i.D works to be packin a stadium
Like Wrestlemania yea you labias got cracked lips
Apply your chapstick now you pussys look vagtastic
They're sayin wow did he write that
They're sayin damn I didn't know he did it like that
I mean how much can someone really know you
When they don't know yo shoes and what you go through
Like this: One time at a campus laundramat I was waiting for my clothes
This kid comes up wanting an autograph saying, "Dj Sin your dope"
So I signed it I was speechless cuz three hundred miles from home
This kid knew me more than ninety nine percent of the people I know
CHORUS
You don't know, what you had, you're gonna find, I ain't so bad
When I'm gone, and your alone, no one to give it to you
Never felt, this before, I don't feel, the same anymore
Cause, I don't need, this shit going on
Ain't it strange, How Things Change
Time for the child to shine, see I wanna be a rap star
Ain't it strange, How Things Change
Time for the child to shine, see I wanna be a rap star
Ain't it strange, How Things Change
Just another product of the anger in the nation
Ain't it strange, How Things Change
And I drop bombs for my generation
Ain't it strange, How Things Change
Rockin' on the Mic only rock the real
Ain't it strange, How Things Change
Really don't know about the mass appeal
Ain't it strange, How Things Change
Time for the child to shine, see I wanna be a rap star
