Change
From living in the streets and stealing to get the latest fashions, to rapping for Jesus, D.C.P. has transformed into someone with a deep concern for others. “If it wasn’t for Jesus I wouldn’t be where I am today,” D.C. P. touts.
Miami
Born to drug addicted parents, his grandparents adopted D.C.P. at 3 months old in Miami, Florida. Starving for attention, D.C.P. decided to rely on himself by stealing to acquire the things he desired. He greatly admired those who had money and influence in his community. He chose drug dealers as his role models and started patterning his life after theirs by dropping out of school at 16 years old and selling drugs in 1992. D.C.P. moved out of his home and onto the streets. During that time, he was kidnapped, pistol-whipped and drugged by a major drug dealer.
Wheels
“At one point Bennie (also known as D.C.P.) was kidnapped by a drug dealer who thought Bennie had stolen his wheels,” said Catherine Tucker, D.C.P.’s grandmother. “We heard gunshots and Bennie managed to jump over one of the guys and out of the car.”
Angel
In 1996, God decided to send an angel to Hallendale. D.C.P., high on drugs, wandered into Fresh Cuts, a barber shop, where he met L.G. Wise. L.G. Wise did not hesitate to tell D.C.P. that he needed Christ in his life. “Five to six months later, L.G. was picking me up and taking me to True Bread Christian Center in Ft. Lauderdale,” said D.C.P. “I knew God from my childhood. I just needed someone to walk with me. I realized I couldn’t do it alone.”
L.G. Wise
With help from L.G. Wise, D.C.P. raps of sex money and drugs evolved into songs admonishing God and extending a hand to those from broken families and to drug dealers.
So What

Then we yelling out so what, so what
We gon get straight to the bag, never free no Oprah, Oprah
Open my mind, my head is flowing, showing, me a good time
You got me going, slowing, all of my time
Yeah, yeah
Shawty gon shake it for a fake man
Yeah I seen the booty got the trial on her only fans
Feral when she rides, I guess I could say it’s anchorman
I don’t got no problem with a middle man
I know you gotta make it out the city doing what you can
Funny how they tell you that you broke too
Turn around and hop up in the civic from the 02
I know I take things too serious
The last girl left took it fast made it furious
She said, she don’t wanna stay, that’s period
Went and got drunk, oh well, that Sagittarius
2 bad ladies in the backroom
Said no drinks, but coke stains the bathroom
White noise lies, the o waves with a fake view
Pray your real friends, come back to save you
Fuck up
Then we yelling out so what, so what
We gon get straight to the bag, never free no Oprah, Oprah
Open my mind, my head is flowing, showing, me a good time
You got me going, slowing, all of my time
Yeah, yeah
Shawty got my head all the way fucked up
I don’t even know where gas where to slow
All the roads that you show n the cones poke out your chest
Leave a grown man hopeless
( i can’t)
Believe that you’re around
You need a man to hold you down
And don’t even think for a minute that my heart isn’t vicious too
So so what
How we gonna do this
You act like I didn’t knew this
Pop-out the spot acting clueless
Me n unqe cause a whole nuisance
Foolish why you so foolish babe
Fiending for the dollar signs
She outta line
Someone tell her
Someone get her
Before cause some shit
Before she throws another fit
She will never fucking admit
That she wrong
So I hit the bong in the club n I’m faded
I’m done with the 2 faced patience
Girl you need patience
But for right now you need to
Shut the
Fuck up
Then we yelling out so what, so what
We gon get straight to the bag, never free no Oprah, Oprah
Open my mind, my head is flowing, showing, me a good time
You got me going, slowing, all of my time
Yeah, yeah

You're leading me down a certain path with confidence, but it's not necessarily the right one
Leave a grown man hopeless ( i can’t)
You're making me feel helpless, even though I don't want to
Believe that you’re around
I'm trying to believe that you're actually there for me
You need a man to hold you down
You're looking for someone to support you and be there for you

You act like I didn’t knew this
You're pretending like I don't know what's going on

Fiending for the dollar signs
You're desperate for money and will do anything to get it
She outta line
You're not acting appropriately

Before she has another outburst
She will never fucking admit
You'll never own up to your mistakes
That she wrong
That she's done something wrong
So I hit the bong in the club n I’m faded
I'm smoking weed in the club and getting high to cope with the situation
I’m done with the 2 faced patience
I can't stand being patient with someone who acts one way to my face and another behind my back
Girl you need patience
You need to be more patient and understand how your actions are affecting others
But for right now you need to
For the time being, you need to
Shut the
I'm going to censor the rest of this line for profanity
Fuck up
Ending the song with the same line to emphasize that things are still not going well
