- A Way
The sun is shining, but I don't know if it'll shine again,
The sky is clear now, but the clouds wait overhead,
The wind stopped blowing, but I see the trees are flowing,
The water's calm now feel the undertow towing me down,
towing me down.
The sun's gone down now behind the dark clouds looming,
Birds stop singing, silence so soothing,
- Blue Blood
Born at the bottom,
Struggle to find a way
You can feel the power,
It's growing every day
Fight for a change,
Can't wait until tomorrow
Make a difference on this day
and all the rest will follow
- Competition
We used to be part of the same thing,
But now you make strides for the gold ring,
You make our sacred ground into a slaughterhouse,
You used to look me in the eye but now you look me up and down.
- Cycle Of Abuse
Treated unfairly, you resent everybody that has so much
Of the things in life that were taken away from you.
So wrapped up in your misery, you never feel the love that surrounds you,
So wrapped up in your misery, you never notice that life passed you by.
You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate.
- Decline
It's easy to say we scream for change when everyday we act the same.
How can a troubled government make us scapegoats
When we don't go out and vote.
We're spewing, spouting, condemnation
That the world we live in is a racist nation
Since our opinions contradict our statements,
We show our prejudiced affliliations.
- Dogs Of War
Apocalypse fills my head, fire and smoke turns the sky blood red,
Thermonuclear warhead, chemical warfare, disease widespread.
People kneel to the might of a figure head, mother earth lies silent on her death bed
Into the fire the blind are led, five billion people will soon be dead.
War is no solution to the conflicts that we face
The end of our evolution, revolution, resist the hand of fate.
- End Of My Rope
Where to run to, where to hide, much to full to swalllow my pride
But I'm still haunted by something inside as if another part of me
has died.
Paralyzed, I close my eyes, the pain inside surrounds me.
Petrified, life fades away, at the end of my rope I'm waiting.
Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone, empty inside, out of control.
- Failed Territory
Inner city strugglin', motherfuckin' rat race
Condemned pressure cooker, that explodes in your face
Another neighborhood gets destroyed by the drug deal
Staking a claim on an estate that is real
Pay the mob's price for your own protection
Half a wise guy makes the wrong connections
Flooding our streets with your wanna be bullshit
Who whacks who, don't matter who gets hit
- Hallowed Ground
I'm living on hallowed ground
Right before my eyes the darkened skies hide muffeled cries
Right before my eyes the hidden lies disguised as new york died
Right before my eyes propaganda flies
You can run but you can't hide
- Heads Kicked In
The cold winds of war, numb the nations soul
They taste the bitter fear as a grim future appears
Criminal leaders building hate
Under siege the world segregates
The day has come, the end is at hand
The earth a corpse, a barren waste land
Cower in fear, humanity prays
- Inner Fear On
See the future, hate being unsure
Feel insecure, life without a cure
Invade my body like it was your own
A losing battle when challenged alone.
I'm sick and tired of losing someone I love and admire
I'm fucking tired of losing someone like you.
- Justified Violence
Tough times ahead of me
Tough times behind
I fight for my life; I fight 'till I die,
I fight to save my mind.
It's justified violence,
It burns from within.
Sometimes a man must fight,
It's not always a sin.
- Kill or Be Killed
The taste of blood erases all the guilt
Tear down the walls and all that was built
As history repeats we kill without thought
Do onto others is what we're taught
I can't go on I'm losing my faith
Lost all hope in the human race
Walking tall, kill or be killed
- Last Man Standing
Chorus
Bring it on, here comes the mutherfucking pain
There's a war in my, I can't take the strain
Insane in the brain runnin like a freight train
I feel no remorse, I feel no pain
I'm the punisher kid an I'm taking you out
Say you prayers son, it's the final death bout
- Loss
Not even for a second when he wake up did he ask
If today was gonna be his last
An average day in the middle of a life
Terminated by a sharp knife
Killing, spilling the liquid blood
As his boyz found him lying face down in the mud
You might say this song is in poor taste
But I must discuss the waste
- Love Denied
A child is told from day number one
He's a worthless piece of shit, bad and dumb
Generations pass down low self self esteem
We're molded by things we've heard and seen
Or punched in the mouth for being unsure
Or locked behind the closet door
We learn what we live, we live what we learn
Abuse of innocence to evil we turn
- My Life, My Way
In this world of death and pain
The memory remains,
The dragon that can't be slain
I live life like a warrior
Taking control of everything and everyone
Who stands in front of me weakly
Unafraid to stand my ground
- Never Forgive Never Forget
I welcomed you with open arms
To share my pride and glory
You said you searched for a better life
At least that was your story
You caught me off guard with your deception
And now I'm just seeing red
I rid this world of your fucking infection
Never forgive, never forget
- Penalty
What's inside my state of mind, can you deal with reality?
Who pays the price for hating, who decides our final fate?
Can you reall trust the government, can you really believe the truth?
Will you die for what you believe or will you suffer like a fool?
Sacrifice, penalty
You gave your life
And paid the price of hate
- Punishment
I question not me, it only happens to others
I can't deny reality as life gets smothered
If the lines can be read between
Maybe you can tell me then what it all means
Cause he who paints the big picture runs the whole scene
Locked down, I gotta get it out
Impending doom, a cloud above my head
Why me? My faith has been devout
- Resist
Free peoplewill never remain free if they are not willing, if
need be, to fight for their vital interests.
I watch your bullshit from the outside in, you disrespect andhate
You think you're better than your fellow man,
Controlled by fear you seal your fate
How could you step on me, violate, desecrate and hate me
But I'm just like you, flesh and blood, I'm only human.
- Retribution
Why do you lie, why do you cheat
Why do you try and deceive
Always twisting around what you say
You better change your foolish ways
This world does not need
Always finding new friends to betray
Payback now
Why do you lie, why do you cheat
- Salvation
Someday I hope to rise above material chains which hold me down
To turn my anger into love and keep my feet planted on the ground.
To undo stigmas societies branded, misconceptions about being a man.
To be grateful, take nothing for granted, to live the truth as best I can.
I seek the truth whatever that may be,
I seek the answers to questions, please God help me.
- Scarred For Life
Scarred for life
Scarred for life
Scarred for life
Memory, for all eternity
There forever of how it used to be
Scarred for life, try to forget the past
And if you hold your head up high
The sweet pain won't last
- Sex And Violence
Money wrench in my hand
in my groin a swollen gland
tonight perform brain surgery
or some gynecology
clockwork orange fast becoming
rampant street gangs overrunning
after darkness raging war
what do they keep living for?
- Shades Of Gray
Shades Of Grey
(Оттенки серого цвета)
У меня теперь есть вера в то, что я стоек в своей ненависти
за всё дерьмо, которое ты даешь мне за моё будущее, настоящее и прошлое.
Кто ты такой, чтоб ущемлять меня в ценностях? Я прошёл трудный путь,
Ступая на пальцах. Ты поставил меня спиной к стене, спиной к стене.
Мне говорили тысячу раз уважать тех, кто уважает меня.
- Skin
Out of sight and out of mind, when you look at yourself do you find
Everything you want to be or do you see what I see.
Too late to change your life, step outside and say good-bye
To everything you left behind, what you seek you may not find.
As I shed my skin, I leave you behind
As I shed my skin, I go on to a better life.
- State Of The World Address
Just look at the state we're in
People at odds there's nuclear fission
Mad beef with technology
Shit ain't right, not like it used to be
We pollute the air we breathe
And the water that we drink
Modern tempers rage and seethe
Why don't we stop and think
- Tales From The Hard Side
Your cards were dealt when
You drove through the night
As a man in dark clothes came into your sight
The barrel tapped the glass
You reached the window lock
Get the fuck out the car
And leave it in the crosswalk
He climbed into your seat
- Tears Of Blood
I sit and pick my brain each night
With an axe in my hand held tight
Bity my nose to spite my face
Killing myself, I can't escape the rat race
Wallowing in neck-deep misery
Quicksand dissent, pressure free
Deepest wounds are self inflicted
Should I hope to be vincited
- Urban Discipline
Growing up I've seen a lot of shit in my time
I've seen hunger, hunger, pleasure, pain, violence and crime
I have learned from the mistakes of my friends that have died
And from those who have gone down in life that just never
tried
Life is just too short I realize that now
I'm gonna get my shit together and try to make it some how
Cause one thing that I have learned is that you only live once
- Waiting To Die
Drug infested, narcotic, electric, schizophrenic,
Murderer arrested, a child molested, a race detested,
A building burnt down, insurance invested,
Homelessness lingers all around, rape, death, sickness,
Homeward bound unemployed, no love, no joy,
Cut down to size, a life destroyed, war, no peace,
Death, tragedy, no cure, disease, aids, leprosy,
A veteran dead below the knee, eyes burn in your head,
- What Makes Us Tick
What makes us tick
Are we mentally sick
Feeling inside that drive us like pride
Or emotional scars from our friends that have died
And make us build walls so incredible high
They exceed the ceiling from the terrified feelings
Which we often repress and end up depressed
Some vent it as rage, it's the fashion these days
- Wide Awake
Pain inside me is taking over again
Wide awake I open my eyes into a nightmare of a life that I despise I gotta,
break it down to the bare essentials 'cause life's too short to be sentimental.
Twisting around inside my head so many crazy visions - am I better off dead?
Filled with dread - gun under the bed to clip all the motherfuckers trying to keep me down,
I ain't fuckin' around.
