No Time For A Apologie

[Intro] No, I am not sorry for the remixes I make Original song still stands where it always stood Same pace, same feel, still easy to recognize These new words come in and change the subject [Verse 1] Good records make me want to try another angle None of that means the first one needs replacing Somebody else built what I chose to work with Knowing that matters before my voice ever arrives Credit stays clear; I never claim their part What I bring myself is where my job begins If my version adds nothing, leave it alone If it adds something real, let it exist [Pre-Hook] Keep the pace steady, keep the song familiar Let the old identity stay intact Bring my own words without stealing their credit Respect came first; an apology never did [Hook] I do not owe apologies for remixes I make Their song stays theirs; I never take that away Keep the pace familiar; let the record still connect Bring my own words and give the source its respect Their credit stays clear; I never call their work mine My words are the part where I draw my own line Old work stays standing while I build something new That is how I remix, and I stand behind what I do [Verse 2] Recognition matters when the source is already known Hearing that connection from the start matters Change everything and the whole reason disappears Then I lost what made me choose it So the known shape stays easy to follow I write my part around what is already there Difference comes from what I personally add Not from deleting what people already know [Verse 3] New words can give old music another subject A different way of saying it can make the same song feel new Neither one insults the version that came first First version is why I returned at all This is not a contest with the original Both versions can exist without that nonsense One keeps doing what it always did Mine shows the version I wanted to try [Hook] I do not owe apologies for remixes I make Their song stays theirs; I never take that away Keep the pace familiar; let the record still connect Bring my own words and give the source its respect Their credit stays clear; I never call their work mine My words are the part where I draw my own line Old work stays standing while I build something new That is how I remix, and I stand behind what I do [Verse 4] People ask why touch something that already works Because good music can spark another idea Leaving it alone is one valid choice Remixing it can be a valid choice too Knowing what belongs to others is basic respect It also means keeping that identity clear What I add should sit beside what came first Not cover it up and pretend it vanished [Verse 5] Every remix needs more than another title Mine starts when different words fit the space Subject changes while the song stays known A different voice brings something the first never needed Still, the opening should tell you the source Recognition is why I picked it New does not mean destroying the old Sometimes smart change means leaving things alone [Hook] I do not owe apologies for remixes I make Their song stays theirs; I never take that away Keep the pace familiar; let the record still connect Bring my own words and give the source its respect Their credit stays clear; I never call their work mine My words are the part where I draw my own line Old work stays standing while I build something new That is how I remix, and I stand behind what I do [Bridge] Call it a remix; that is what it is Someone else made the music before my version Nothing about that gets hidden Nothing about that gets rewritten Original work stays theirs Only my writing stays mine Original song keeps its history This version gets its purpose Pace stays where I found it Recognition stays there on purpose Only my contribution needs to sound new Real respect never meant I had to stop creating [Verse 6] After every remix, the rule stays simple Bring something worth hearing or leave it untouched Keep enough there that the source stays obvious Add enough of myself that my reason stays obvious too No fake ownership, no fake regret What existed before me stays clear Old work keeps its respect while new work sits beside it This is my approach, and I stand by it [Pre-Hook] Keep the pace steady, keep the song familiar Let the old identity stay intact Bring my own words without stealing their credit Respect came first; an apology never did [Hook] I do not owe apologies for remixes I make Their song stays theirs; I never take that away Keep the pace familiar; let the record still connect Bring my own words and give the source its respect Their credit stays clear; I never call their work mine My words are the part where I draw my own line Old work stays standing while I build something new That is how I remix, and I stand behind what I do [Outro] First version keeps its place; mine gets its own Pace stays familiar while my words change From beginning to end, the respect stays clear No apology needed; I meant what I made
