This is a start That I know I'll believe in So I'm leavin' everything behind Keeping the parts That I know I'll be needing And I breed to be a better kind And I'm leavin' everyone behind This is the age When my past should be gone But it's just stronger than the aims I have Turning the pages I used to hang on to I was young and I have changed my mind And I'm leaving everything behind New beginning again A bit closer New beginning again A little bit closer New beginning again A bit closer to the end This is the time It's a delicate line To the beginning of what's yet to come Lifetimes of changes A strange generation Explanations never come in time So I'm leavin' everything behind

I'm the Party Starter You might have a good time but we party harder So, tell the DJ to play my song We could dance all night to the early mornin' He was raised in the days when the roof was raised Every rap occasion, new an' amazing The back of the stage amazed and gazin' Prayin for the day they would one day praise him Studied the ways of the game an' made it Came through the maze an' the haze an' played it perfect Days any person hated an' cursed him, he was unfazed He waited, it was worth it, he never retaliated He saved it, slavin', on the road blazin' Days when he was low, nothin' could raise him He came to the show an' somethin' uncaged in him Like the pope, but its party crusade I'm like braids that's never gon' fade (ya heard) I'm like, 23's on an Escalade, throw me into the rave Like you threw a grenade, boom!

I'm the Party Starter You might have a good time but we party harder So, tell the DJ to play my song We could dance all night to the early mornin' I call for the days of the unadulterated When the artistry was cultivated You know, back when rap was smart and multilayered We could rap without A&R's an' ultimatums (damn) Now today I could say I long for the days when the party was all about Partyin' I was a mini-party starter then My mind bends when I call my pen The big question should I run the mind a vittle Food for thought or dumb the rhyme a little But Will "if you come to high that'll alienate folks and they won't buy It"(Yo) Look, people getting trapped in the track And they be clappin', even when the rappin' is wack Yo, what happened, when did we get happy wit that? He's old-fashioned (yup), but let's be happy he's back (Ya heard me!) Oh! I'm the Party Starter You might have a good time but we party harder So, tell the DJ to play my song We could dance all night to the early mornin' Oh! I'm the Party Starter You might have a good time but we party harder So, tell the DJ to play my song We could dance all night to the early mornin'

Now that I'm thinking sober Don't you try to get no closer I'm just gonna get in my car and drive, and drive Looking in the rearview mirror Everything is so much clearer Watch me wave it all goodbye, goodbye The light's flashing, giving me all the danger signs Someone to save, to save But it don't work that way Think you made your greatest mistake I'm not gonna call this a break Think you really blew it this time Think you could walk on such a thin line Won't be taking your midnight calls Ignore the rocks you throw at my wall I see it written on your face You know you made it, your greatest mistake When the last straw is broken When the last door is closing I ain't that dumb to stick around, stick around I ain't got the time for looking back Gonna let yourself slip through the cracks And you just keep going down, down, down I'mma stay undercover Lay low need some time No one to save, to save This sick cycle's over, babe Think you made your greatest mistake I'm not gonna call this a break Think you really blew it this time Think you could walk on such a thin line Won't be taking your midnight calls Ignore the rocks you throw at my wall I see it written on your face You know you made it, your greatest mistake Why you looking at me, spitting that same old lie Trying to bring back, ain't no flipping my mind Don't you get it by now the story's over, over? Still calling my name outside my house I'm hitting the switch Watch the lights go out Watch the lights go out I hope you ache, ache, ache oh, oh I hope you ache, ache, ache oh, oh Think you made your greatest mistake I'm not gonna call this a break Think you really blew it this time Think you could walk on such a thin line Won't be taking your midnight calls Ignore the rocks you throw at my wall I see it written on your face You know you made it, your greatest mistake
