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
the one thing i know we live in a paradox we all die no matter how we fought some people pray at night and hope i'll shut up but i fight everyday know i'll never give up i do it for my man now protecting the dead lived a little too fast proud of the life he led proud of the message he spread the lesssons he taught me provided the discipline so the evil never caught me though it haunts me around the corner everday so i fight very hard tomorrow i'll have my way and have my pay the world knows my name respects how i live and how i won the game i enjoy the fame! trust i'll admit it all the good things to do trust i did em the definition of living doesn't get much better i love my life i'll never stop never chorus: ( i don't ask for much just gimme a glimpse a lil' respect what do ya think? i want to be king? gimme a break respect! what does it take? ) the very first lesson i had to fight had to find my goal and keep it in sight i had to write to keep myself sane keep the fire burning make sure i wasn't tamed hadn't gone lame that i had to try even if the stress is so great fearing my mind might fry or else i'd die instead i'm invincible ask my girl everyday performing miracles i see no justice so i make my own all i allow myself to do though i do it alone no longer moaning instead growing take control of my life make sure the world's watching all this shit i'm stopping with these tracks i'm dropping i swear the world's evil will all be forgotten just watch and see i won't be stopped be sure to take notes it's time to be taught chorus: ( i don't ask for much just gimme a glimpse a lil' respect what do ya think? i want to be king? gimme a break respect! what does it take? ) i know how to live can you say the same? i took all the problems and made them tame learned the rules of the game now being written carefully presented through these words i'm spitting these walls i'm tearing down as i get up off the ground feel free from these chains if previously bound but now i'm found the north star guides me and when i need them it also provides me the lessons i need through advice to heed some pain to see n example of greed what it's like to be free! too few know it or at the very least too few show it or maybe don't want it still lost in their minds i'll help them too only a matter of time too much left to learn and enemies to burn at the very least the respect to earn chorus: ( i don't ask for much just gimme a glimpse a lil' respect what do ya think? i want to be king? gimme a break respect! what does it take? )
