Текст песни:

We gotta stop it cuz we cant feed this disease
too many dead and too many living on their knees
heavenly father make us stronger
help us live in pease
kill this fucking sickness
i need to feel my soul release
we done our time
yeah we felt the pain that life can give
everyday steady dying lord
but still we live so confused abused
and still insanity seems the only way that i can feel humanity

breath it out
or we sink so far down
so far down

fool you kill your brother
and you think that makes you a man
try to tell his mother why she′ll never see her son again
fucking coward go hid behind your false pride
street talking facade helps you justify this genocide
that′s the card you deal
to hide the pain you feel
claimin′ homey love but i′m telling you it isn′t real
no ones got your back when its time for you to go
cuz when you leave this world
you′ll be going out alone

[chorus]

so try to understand
we′ve got to save ourselves
cuz our fate lies in our hands
it′s you and no one else

[chorus]

we gotta breathe it out
we gotta save ourselfes
cry out
kill the violence
cryout
chant the freedom
we gotta breathe it out
we gotta save ourselves
cry out
kill the violence
cry out
chant the freedom

Текст песни:

Burn
my cit′s on fire
burn
modern day tragedy
crim on the rise
police brutality
my reality′s B-A-D
cuz the F-A-C-T of the matter′s
getting sadder
check it
no unity in my community
everyone for themselfes
that′s they way it′s gotta be
dont think twice in this false paradise
one step ahead
or you′ll end up dead

burn up burn up
my city′s on fire
step the fuck back
that flame′s getting higher
bleed with me bleed with me
bleed with me
forever now
done my time in a world fulla crime
it′s my turn to watch babylone burn
bleed with me bleed with me bleed with me

now you gotta pray to god cuz it′s on
defeat from the street
now i know i′ve been beat burning from the heat
notter than the flames of hell
straight scorching me torchin′ me
dirty ash tray dreams
busting up scenes
its everyone and everything
the effect is direct and clean from the peasant to the king
no way out this battle′s more than we can handle
the town′s a slaughter house and we′re the fucking cattle

[chorus]
feel it

soul shake down
headed for a breakdown
my town your town
it′s about to go down throw down
forget about tomorrow
cuz you cant pay back all the time that you borrowed
it′s too late on streets of hate you await your fate
i tell you brother you were gone from the gate
just another kid swallowed by the streets
and retired
i can smell the smoke shit my city′s on fire
we were cursed from birth incarceration planet earth
sentencedto die and smile on the face of the outcry
criminal minded blinded i′m barely getting by reminded
constantly i′m nowhere
that i want to be
cuz it′s real in this battle field
no where to run
no where to hide
eventually the other side will catch me slippin′ on the trip wire
i can smell the smoke
shit my city′s on fire
i can smell the smoke
shit my city′s on fire
i can smell the smoke

Текст песни:

the past is gone
fading like the sunset
fills me up inside
dropping like a death threat
well i′m a lover
and then a fighter
no easy rider
just like my fallen brothers
watchin′ over me
hip to the game
but the game brought the pain
starin′ at the walls
i′m wondering how i′m gonna make it out
destiny to victory
you gotta run before you crawl
you must rise above it

listen up to our life
all your dreams are misgueided
hang on
holding on to your pride
but it wont get you what you want

life will bring you up
life will put you down
life will build you up
and then burn you down(2x)

step inside and testify
you′re starin′ at you death
but you won′t stop to catch you motherfucking breath
petty bangsters playin′ up the pranksters
runnin′ from the officer
city executioner
come alive dont dive into the violent life
so leave the light on
cause i′ll be coming right on up
quick fast
as i dash for the cash
i′m leaving all those other motherfuckers in the past

listen up to our life
all your dreams are misgueided
hang on
holding on to your pride
but it wont get you what you want

life will bring you up
life will put you down
life will build you up
and then burn you down(2x)

Текст песни:

You convinced yourself you had nothing,
nothing left to give.
In this world filled with pain,
your memory remains.
I wish i could have said something
to make you change your mind.
But its done, its too late.

Know everything is wrong.
Know everything is wrong,
now that Lisa′s gone.

I remember when we used to be friends
those high school days are a haze.
Now im amazed how,
the years slipped away, memories faded.
But you were always a queen to me,
its sad to see this loss as a tradegy.
No lie, playing on my sanity,
now i shed those tears for your family.
And everyone who knew you loved you,
what went wrong, too young to pass on.
I can′t believe, i can′t believe, that,
you achieve to relieve yourself.
A broken girl in a mixed up world walked out the door,
i hope you found what you were looking for.

Know everything is wrong.
Know everything is wrong,
now that Lisa′a gone.

Turn another page, i guess that life goes on.
Take it day by day, it sometimes feels so wrong.

Know everything is wrong.
Know everything is wrong,
now that Lisa′s gone.

Текст песни:

Look away cuz i′m stange in my mind
lets make a place for me
so i feel right inside

lost what is gone need to know to cary on
if i′d only see the light
maybe then i′d be alright
i know they′d rather see me down
on my knees than on my feet
tell me whats this world we′re living in
sometimes it seems so strange

on the outside looking in no light
another man with a blood shot soul
get up dont be one stand up
control destiny dont back away
guns are blasting
hating me
cant take me
i′ve got to survive
first the order the hit
then forget its all justified
no retreat defeat
all that complete
life full of tears
sin for 2000 years

be not afraid thats what they say
i′m fed more lies
see my violent self
all has passed away
but dreams stay alive

lost what is gone need to know to cary on
if i′d only see the light
maybe then i′d be alright
i know they′d rather see me down
on my knees than on my feet
tell me whats this world we′re living in
sometimes it seems so strange


on the outside looking in no light
another man with a blood shot soul
get up dont be one stand up
control destiny dont back away
guns are blasting
hating me
cant take me
i′ve got to survive
first the order the hit
then forget its all justified
no retreat defeat
all that complete
life full of tears
sin for 2000 years

test the best
check pride inside minds
never the enemy
i ain′t ever going to die
first you′re here today
and then you′re gone tomorrow
why must we live this way everyday wasting our lives
not all has gone away
i shed a tear of sorrow
too bad we couldn′t stay
one more day follow me tonight
follow me tonight
let′s go fly away tomorrow
where everything′s alright
everything′s alright

Текст песни:

Finished with my woman
cause she couldn′t help me with my mind
people think i′m insane
because i′m frowning all the time
all day long i think of things
but nothing seems to satisfy
thinking i′ll lose my mind
if i dont find something to pacify
can you help me? are you for my brain?
oh yeah
i need someone to show me
the things in life that i cant find
i cant see the things that make
true happiness i must be blind
paranoid
the walls are closing in
i cant breathe cant sleep
afraid to live another day
too late to bow my head and prey
hate flowing through my veins
i cant change re-arrange
just a victim a casualty
war waged on humanity
lost my way in the darkness of the daylight
cant run cant hide
no love no fight
brought to my knees by this fate i cant avoid
scared of my own shadow its a battle living paranoid
make a joke and i will sigh
and you will laugh and i will cry
happiness i can not feel
so love to me is so unreal
and so as you hear these words
telling you now of my state
i tell you to enjoy life
i wish i could but its too late

Текст песни:

Listen to me jesus
this disease deceives us
takes us for a flight
then shoots us down
we need some protection from this soul infection
help us save ourselves before we drown
fight on fight on

i cant release myself
calm the storm that builds inside
kill off emotions and i′m strung out again
i cant escape myself
cuz i′ve been running all my life
kill off emotions and i′m sturng out again

a little hit can take away my fears
and make me feel a real man
selling all i have to make me whole
i can feel the fire
fueling me now i′ve lost control
fight on fight on

[chorus]

i′m sick and tired of being sick and fucking tired
heard the last shot rired walked the high wire
no desire left now that i accept
hanging by a rope seen a little bit of hope gotta cope
this aint no fucking joke
cuz my next binge with the syringe might do me in
take me out
down for the count
you′re living in this chaos that aint what i′m about
motherfucker
i see you wasing away
you look at me and you see the same
why must we be normal and sane
why must we live this life of pain

[chorus]

i′m just a slave headed for the grave anyway
i′m just a slave headed for the grave anyway
i′m just a slave headed for the grave anyway
i′m just a slave

Текст песни:

Feels so cold to be abandoned
i cant see past what you have done
memoried how they fade away
now you want to come back
i walked away from you
no fuckin′ tears for them lost years
i took the pain then i turned it to hatred
so dead to me
no fantasy
my own blood is the enemy remedy
long gone test me be strong
let me move on
kill the memories
that i see only tragedy
from his belt to his hands to his fist
i cant felive this
i cant forgive this

i locked you out
these years
this hatred
cries in my head
steady coming with that friendly fire
shooting me down
two caps to the back
dropped face first
hit the ground
never around
so in the fucking mind you′re dead
and now that you′re alone you want to be my friend to
foe
who got control
now i′m the one thats walking away
so what do you gotta say
lying bruised and beat
kicked to the curb
you′re not my gather dont bother because you never were
take that motherfucker

[chorus]

striving forever to find who i am
striving forever to find who i am
abandonment how i can taste it
my resentment time to face it
on my knees oh god replace it
cant believe it i cant take it

on the brink of a break down
no love found in my soul
straight from the get go
nothing left in this heart
just a motherfucking stab in the back
back in my life
yeah right

[chorus]

stabbed in the back
filled with hate
nothing else to say
cuz i walked away
