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
