- A Time For Peace
Far from a tragedy, your fire's too bold to be forsaken
Or burned out and cold, nobody's too tired, scared or afraid
Delusioned of your passing away
It's not over the words that you shared
Gardens of memories tenderly prepared
Not over the spark in your heart
Not over, this won't tear us apart
- Devil Shoots Devil
Locked in and trapped stuck here.
I'm feeling helpless.
I need strength to fight this fear.
Becoming restless.
Can't fight this feeling burning inside of me.
The lights burned out.
I'm running down and it's killing me.
Devil shoots devil and it's so hard to see.
- Express Yourself
A lot of brothers out there been
Flakin' and perpetratin' but scared to kick reality
We been doin' all this dope producin'
You ain't had a chance to show 'em what time it is
Well what you want me to do?
- For The Record
I'm not exactly pround of the place I'm from
but I've been here my whole life so I guess I'll call it home.
In South Carolina a flag still shows the enslavement of our minds
but in South Carolina I learned from all the times.
We went to all-ages shows, Sunday matinees
hanging out wondering if the bands would show and even play.
The bands would come and we would all sing along (sing along sing along).
Would they ever know their impact would last so long?
- Get This Party Started
I'm comin' up
So you better you better
Get this party started
I'm comin' up
So you better you better
Get this party started
Get this party started
On a Saturday night
- Outside Looking In
let's go..
we've come a long way
through the good and bad
and it's so much more than what it seems
sometimes i take it for granted
i take it for granted
which way will the wind blow?
i don't know if you will ever know how much this means to me
- the sound of names dropping
Tonight I looked at you and you smiled.
Will this feeling last forever?
Will it die and fade away?
Is this all that we’ll share?
I’ll pour my heart out if you’ll stay
And there’s a chance that you might say
“this could be never-ending.”
- Through My Actions
ambition stifled / or is it just deterred? / narrowness of scope / the new kind of hope / acceptance of impurities are few in between / losing myself i was a compassionate being / down! / i feel i am rotting inside / help me! / reality subsides / holding on! / stop my soul from bleeding / carry out! / the state of my mind's redeeming / the choices i made / the price i paid / was never enough / it will never be enough / don't tell me what to feel / the truth will be revealed through my actions / not my words / i don't understand the way we treat each other / i don't understand why we rape one another / i won't accept what's been accepted / i'll love all that's been neglected / my actions show / show that i care / i won't sit back / i won't sit back and stare / i won't accept what's been accepted / i'll love all that's been neglected / i'll make a change / i'll make it better for you
- When Words Escape
Thinking about the path we've been on, I know we learned a lot of things
Searching through the pages of our history to see what my memory brings to me
It doesn't matter the lies we tell. Our insecurities we hide so well
A revolution based on honesty, but it won't matter till you see me for me
My mind's been racing, but I don't think you've heard
What I'm trying to tell you my emotions are so blurred
Please, please don't give up on me
I hope you can see that I'm...
