True story. The "intro" is a poem I turned into my 11th grade English teacher. That poem, and my interactions with her, changed my life.

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.

Lyrics
Mrs. Adler: Does anyone else have something they would like to share? David: Um, uh... I do. Mrs. Adler: Really? Okay. you've got me up against a fence back against a wall everybody's asking me and telling me what's wrong i can tell you what's wrong i haven't got a life to life left it behind with a bunch of other kids in a land that i call home where there's homegrown friends and family loyalty and revelry here i'm on an extented vacation and my accomodations are getting tired as the fire grows in me to take me home where my sanctuary will replace this wallless penitentary take me home watch the fire grow with my desire for freedom in a land that is walled psychlogically and everybody possitively can't see me cry in bed as i'm fed this hellish realization that i can't succeed in penitration of this wall of discomfort that is killing my soul my soul that is dying in this frying pan of hypocricy where no one can answer me and my question of innocence and where it has gone disappear like my fear of oblivion Mrs. Adler: Wow. We need to talk. verse: i wrote that verse when i was sixteen unhappy in life doing what i could do to break free and it blessed me with the respect of my elders an honor, if you don't know it impossible to tell ya and it helped me change the same week fucked up came back life rearranged saw the world it wasn't the same i was a new man people were number one in my plan life can be good again your problems, you can solve them bad moments, you can stop them your fears, you can haunt them your victories, you can flaunt them if you try thought i cry watch me rise in a blink of an eye you'll see what i most despise don't ever let up and don't ever shut up no matter how cold the day don't ever give up! just be patient if you wonder if you can take it if humanity's survived trust me, you can make it three years i've thought and learned lesson number one learned it myself was wrong to think good done people are good wouldn't believe it once i did like magic i could clearly see it i tried communication appointed to this foreign nation and once i sought it i found inspiration utter respect though, i didn't know it i showed no neglect i'd be mad if they showed it it worked like a charm true friends popped up i sought no harm before my mind locked up but now i'm happy and i'm again i'm free have relations to mend and a better person to be my life's now good can find no reason to frown i'm seeking change as i should and answers profound i fight very hard i gave my life meaning at least now there is purpose when i'm screaming or when i'm dreaming and i see my own defeat i build my courage to fight know i'll never retreat my life was hard i wouldn't let myself fail opened my heart and found a reason to prevail no matter how i was labeled madman or idealist in charge of my world passed the real test there are many who doubt me i can feel their pain too occupied by me their lives are vain probably going insane i know the feeling well i hope they listen learn how i broke the spell wish i could travel back in time teach me all I now know how to live happily and to help the world grow but since i can't i try my best to live right try as hard as i can so i know which fights to fight this eases my mind knowing i did all i can that i finally learned these lessons and finally became a man
