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
