D.Linkwent music

...the energy of Electronic/Dance, dark harmonies and tones of Industrial, syncopated rhythms of funk, all based around a beat/swag that's distinctly hip-hop.

D.Linkwent It would be wrong to say that he's tyring to put VA on the map. If you think about it, the commonwealth has always been there, bringing a different style and perspective on music. "Missy, Timbaland, the Neptunes, Clipse...Virginia has always added a unique style to the game. I'm just trying to do the same." D.Linkwent, born and raised in Richmond, has always loved music, writing, and the stage. At a young age he began spinning records for fun and producing tracks for himself and friends. Soon thereafter fell in love with the power of words. "...As soon as I was able to write... Stories, plays, lyrics, no matter what -- I was either creating music or creative writing..."

Story behind the song

"I love telling stories and having my lyrics be as vivid as possible. So, I was having a sh** ty day at work, frustrated with my life and surroundings. Just sat in my car during a break, and started writing about the sh** I was seeing. Part 2 is different [than the original], because it [is] acoustic. The lyrics come across a lot more meaningful because there [is] nothing to take away from the vocals. The lyrics sound more like spoken-word, rather than just another rhyme. "

Lyrics

written by D.linkwent

(HOOK): don't wanna go back where i started from / 
but it's so hard to make that change / 
on tha road tryna make myself someone / 
but it all seems to stay tha same // 

same sh** , different day / 
different day, same gig / 
different white folk b*** in' all ovah tha same sh** / 
anutha black murder-crime, ain't nuthin' different man / 
gotta watch jake's, cus' they think we all look tha same / 
same n*** z, different block / 
grindin' on a come-up / 
pray they don't find tha stash when 5-0 roll up / 
get caught, spend ya whole stack on bond / 
back out on tha block, same sh** goin' on / 
we still lookin' for our change to come / 
while stacking our change, tryna make income / 
tryna move it on up like tha Jeffersons / 
it's a new century, and we singing tha same songs / 
same juke-joint painting hanging on tha wall / 
i'm thinkin' like, damn, those must've been tha Good Times / 
old head said nuthin' different goin' on / 
 n*** z just made it easier / 
now they live to die, and i.. // 

(HOOK) // 

same day, different sh** / 
same strip, ridin' slow / 
only difference be tha potency of tha 'dro / 
new Pac disc bangin' in tha stereo / 
 n*** z in tha same struggle he was speaking on in '94 / 
different n*** z, spittin' tha same lines since '94 / 
so everybody & their momma rap about flipping coke / 12 years old in a Snowman shirt / 
harassed, they think his lil' ass got that work / 
momma trippin' think i'm slippin' slowly closer to a hearse / 
on tha same drugs that my father did first / 
me and B inhale tha weed deep to cover up tha hurt / 
cus' of bag of dope ain't everything / 
but it works / 
they say it's in ur genes / 
if ya parent was a fiend / 
so iz tha blessing of birth / 
a gift & a curse? / 
and what's tha difference? / 
ma, i'm tryna make it through / 
just like u want me to / 
cus' Lord knows that i don't.. // 

(HOOK) // 

same ol' opinions, just different critics / 
who judge, but none of em' can f*** with ya n*** / 
same ones who claim cold-blood killers / 
 b*** & turn snitch, when them boyz come get em' / 
same ol' rumors, people speculating / 
since a n*** entered elementary school / 
but since different lips talk tha same sh** / 
they can all go balls deep / 
on tha same dick / 
in tha same black bucket / 
attitude like, "f*** it" / 
treat a n*** different because of appearances? / 
it's nothing / 
war got us looking @ other brown-folk backwards / 
so really we ain't no different then these crackers / 
who sees tha surface, and think they got u figured / 
for rap, hoes, clothes, drugs & malt liquor / 
clutch their purse quicker / 
 b*** , i should rob u / 
just like u want me to / 
but Lord knows that i don't.. //
