Dancin' on the beat
[Verse 1: Damien Quinn]
Where do I start?
I was born to fail with a broken heart
Mama 16 or 17, daddy nowhere to be seen
So I stay at granny house untill mommy get on her feet
My mother tried her hardest even though she liked to party
And through all the liquor I could tell she wasn't happy
I wonder through the years if she grew on me
You could see a change in me by the age of thirteen
I wanted to be so independent, nobody could tell me sh**
Just this grown a** kid, livin life so quick
I thought I wanted to die, livin that lie in denial
Cut my wrists once or twice to watch it bleed on the bathroom tile
Life wasn't always bad, I found hip hop in the 5th grade
And I remember how I felt when the bone thugs tape played
It was my escape from the pain in life
So I hid in my room with headphones every night
[Hook: Sara Mazing (Damien Quinn)]
I told myself one day the sun's gonna shine
All mine, I'll grind, we'll be alright
((I'mma never back down, always stand up and fight))
I told myself one day the sun's gonna shine
All mine, I'll grind, we'll be alright
((And maybe we can leave this darkness behind))
[Verse 2]
I remember recording on the boombox in Angel's basement
I had no clue about box rhymes, using word placement
I remember Andrew sayin "D you s**as ain't for [..?]"
And even though I agreed, man I knew it wasn't true
So I made up and I hold my craft
With some local cats who thought I could rap
I thought they were my friends but they treated me like a hack
Talked sh** behind my back and it made me so mad
[Voice change]
It made me the man that I am today
And the reason all this bitterness won't go away
[Voice Change]
And I pray that the sun will shine, pray that I get mine
Pray I have the strength to never ever stop my grind
I remember that b**h who stole my heart
Ripped it out my chest and tore it apart
I want to let her know I hate her
I hope somebody rapes her
I'm blessed with [..?] and I'll never replace her
[Hook: Sara Mazing (Damien Quinn)]
I told myself one day the sun's gonna shine
All mine, I'll grind, we'll be alright
((I'mma never back down, always stand up and fight))
I told myself one day the sun's gonna shine
All mine, I'll grind, we'll be alright
((And maybe we can leave this darkness behind))
[Verse 3]
So here I stand before you a new man
Not ground to the bone, sh** I know who I am
And I don't give a damn about your feelings, spare me
I'd die for this group, Dark Half is my baby
[Voice Change]
And Garret is my homie
No f** that, my brother
And if you don't believe me, you can blow me motherf**er
But why is h**n a factor in anything we're doing?
I'm watching it slowly k** him in the dreams we're pursuing
If I knew he was using, I'd drag him to rehab myself
But you can't help nobody that don't want to be helped
Now I'm sittin by myself, thinking how the hell did we get in this mess?
And will Dark Half be shelved?
No f** that, we're alive and well
I hope you hear our name so much it makes your brain swell
And to every single fan that stuck by our side
I promise you we love you, Dark Half'll never die
[Hook: Sara Mazing (Damien Quinn)]
I told myself one day the sun's gonna shine
All mine, I'll grind, we'll be alright
((I'mma never back down, always stand up and fight))
I told myself one day the sun's gonna shine
All mine, I'll grind, we'll be alright
((And maybe we can leave this darkness behind))
[Bridge: Damien Quinn]
If you steal my sunshine
I'mma get mine, make you face this 9
