This is my redemption. This is me trying.

I'm writing/rapping the Dumpster Manifesto -- reality from a different perspective.
DJ Tansey -- Rap Entrepreneur AIM: djtansey I have been interested in Hip-Hop since 1995. My first album was Tupac Shakur's Me Against The World. I was only 11, but his music still managed to reach me. I miss rap with a message. It seems everyone is a megalomaniac. So I'm doing my own thing. Hopefully people will give a sh*t.

Story behind the song
No one leads a perfect life. Sometimes people get stuck in a bad place and can't get out. This song was written after I took some time to reevaluate my life and see where I had come, and what I'd done while getting here. I'm not proud of it all, but at least I can recognize what I did wrong so I can try not to do it again.
Lyrics
i know i'm not perfect and never tried to be but i know for certain i've never slept at peace i let my mind master me an ablity of the wrong kind i didn't know what i'd be i need to master my own mind no faith in myself never did what's right and then life came quickly gave up the fight no connection with my conscience fake success surrounded me advice i got made no sense still my friends hounded me i wish i would have listened i would not be dead now but the gold seemed to glisten an infiltration i did allow i would have tried but i'm too damned scared worried i'll take a step won't be anything there i feel it's too late committed too many sins i've lost all my friends and don't know where to begin i've lost all hope my confidence gone don't know how long i'll live suspect it won't be long chorus x2 { forgive me humanity watch me pray on my knees let me have a last glance at what i could've lived (doesn't rhyme with knees) it's not the life that i planned if i were human when i played my hand could i've been a real man? } i hear wispers in my head saying, never give up i think they'd be silent if they knew how i'd fucked up (is it rushed? - jon) all the women i've know and not respected and the boys with whom i've grown leaving their trust molested and my parents i don't even want to think about it all the wisdom they offered i told them where to shove it and my teachers their lives dedicated to me tried unsuccessfully to teach me what it meant to be free and the government blaming them for all my troubles i see a nice spot now just hand me a shovel i'll dig deep and hard just can't wait to see my heart's scarred what level's me? can i repent my sins for the pain brought in to my fellow human like to my closest kin and any the others i know i didn't treat you right please forgive me it's for you i now fight chorus x2 { forgive me humanity watch me pray on my knees let me have a last glance at what i could've lived this isn't the life i planned if i were human when i played my hand could i've been a real man? } i wish i had not been scared of the dicipline all the chances now missing look at this life i'm now living now to transform is my mission i wonder if we're doomed for our deeds or if we get to rethink our needs and think of the advice to now heed and have my mind now freed I knew what I wanted but wanted it easy not willing to go through the pain not willing to wait for the gain i want to be a beautiful thing what joy can i bring? whose life might i change? my life, rearranged i feel happy again my life worthwhile can be a good friend make another friend smile i changed my life stepped up to the fight discovered my might my power to do what's right i haven't shed a tear for years but now i weap freely i have nothing to fear my pride not keeping me i was so unhappy and success used to tease me all this i've made happen now at night i sleep easy chorus x2 { you forgave me humanity as i prayed on my knees you let me one glance at what i could live this'll be the life i planned if i am human when i play my hand i know can be a real man! }
