When we were young our future was so bright (whoa, oh!)
The old neighborhood was so alive (whoa, oh!)
And every kid on the whole damn street (whoa, oh!)
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn (whoa, oh!)
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn (whoa, oh!)
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
(Whoa!)

Jamie had a chance, well she really did (whoa, oh!)
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (whoa, oh!)
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job (whoa, oh!)
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide (whoa, oh!)
Brandon OD'd and died (whoa, oh!)
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality

Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

We're bleeding over gold that's black
Honesty, integrity, things you lack
Leading the sheep
All along believers
Now know that they were wrong
We!
We know!
About!
All your f***ing lies!
And now!
We want!
To hear the truth!
Moment of truth
Leave behind your paper trail
You're a rat
We can see your tail
Questioning you about all your lies
Remove your spine
You run and hide
It's the moment of truth

Yeah
I am the Astro Creep
A demolition style hell American freak

Yeah!
Yo, you were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no
I followed, so taken
So conditioned, I could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
So afraid I couldn’t let myself see

That I could never be held
Back or up no, I hold myself
Check the rep, yep, you know mine well
Forget the rest, let them know my hell
There and back, yet my soul ain’t sell
Kept respect up, the best, they fell
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go
Go
Go

Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y’all go hard, I go smart
How’s that working out for y’all in the back, huh?
I’ve seen that frustration
Been crossed and lost and told no
And I’ve come back unshaken
Let down and lived and let go

So you can let it be known
I don’t hold back, I hold my own
I can’t be mapped, I can’t be cloned
I can’t C-flat, it ain’t my tone

I can’t fall back, I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
’Cause I was there saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you go
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)

No, you can tell ’em all now
I don’t back up, I don’t back down
I don’t fold up and I don’t bow
I don’t roll over, don’t know how
I don’t care where the enemies are
Can’t be stopped, all I know, go hard
Won’t forget how I got this far
For every time saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)

Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go

I liked having hurt;
So send the pain below,
Where I need it.

You used to beg me to take care of things,
And smile at the thought of me failing.
But long before having hurt,
I'd send the pain below,
I'd send the pain below,
Much like suffocating!

Much like suffocating!
Much like suffocating! (I'd send the pain below.)
Much like suffocating! (I'd send the pain below.)

You used to run me away all while laughing,
Then cry about the fact
'Til I returned.
But long before having hurt,
I'd send the pain below,
I'd send the pain below,
Much like suffocating!

Much like suffocating!
Much like suffocating! (I'd send the pain below.)
Much like suffocating! (I'd send the pain below.)
Much like suffocating!

I can't feel my chest (chest, chest)
Need more,
Drop down
Closing in.
I can't feel my chest
Drop down

I liked having hurt,
So send the pain below,
So send the pain below,
Much like suffocating!
I liked (So send the pain below.) (Much like suffocating!)
Having hurt (Send the pain below.)
Much like suffocating! (So send the pain below.)
Much like suffocating! (So send the pain below.)

Down under the night sky
I lay in wait
Praying to whoever will listen to me.
I'd fashioned my own cross,
Been crushed by it's weight
There's no stronger message
Then dirt in your face.

I've seen down the end of the road
Now i deal in a different story, oh
And i will never go back again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I'll do this on my own. (o-o-oh bones, bones o-oh)

They say the spirit's willing
But the flesh is always weak
Well I found everything i needed right beneath my skin -oh

I've seen down the end of the road
Now i deal in a different story, oh
And i will never go back again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I'll do this on my own.

[Instrumental]

We're all architects in our own private hell.
No one can hurt us like we've hurt ourselves.

I've seen down the end of the road
Now i deal in a different story, oh
I will never let go again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I know i'm not alone (o-oh bones, bones o-oh no)

She calls me Goliath, and I wear the David mask
I guess the stones are coming too fast for her now
You know I'd like to believe this nervousness will pass
All the stones that are thrown are building up a wall

I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl

I'd like to believe we could reconcile the past
Resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance
But my old stone face can't seem to bring her down
She remembers the bridges, burns them to the ground

I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl

Too heavy, too light, too black or too white
Too wrong or too right, today or tonight
Cumbersome

Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less
And I'm wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome
No, yeah, no, no, no
No, no, no, yeah

There is a balance between two worlds
One with an arrow and a cross
Regardless of the balance, life has become
Cumbersome

Too heavy, too light, too black or too white
Too wrong or too right, today or tonight
Cumbersome

Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less
And I'm wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome
No, yeah, no, no, no
No, no, no, yeah
No, no, no, no
Yeah
Your life has become cumbersome

The bloody angle
The symmetry
Your cheap adhesive isn't holding me
My mouth is a gun I can shoot
I can show you the truth
And I don't need a reason to lie to you
No pun intended
No punishment
If I offended you, you needed it!
Ideas are the bombs in your mind
A fissure in time
If you don't have a weapon,
You can't have mine!

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if i feel the need

This face, is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil, but I won't be your hero!

The catatonic,
The sacrilege,
Your primadonnas are a privilege
My god has a need to react,
Its as simple as that
It's better just to settle
Than face the facts

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if i feel the need

This face, is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil but I won't be your hero!

One thing that I can't stand
Is when the minutes fight the second hand
I'll waste a life times worth
Just to cling to one more day

No f***ing quarter
No premiums
The world is stuck in delirium
Man! Is a four letter word
It's really absurd
The hate isn't fake, its just inferred

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
I'm down to absolute zero
Another Zealot with the weight of the f***ing world.

Oh, I'm not afraid!
And I won't let you down as I hold you in
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil but I won't be your hero!

Something has to change, undeniable dilemma
Boredom's not a burden anyone should bear
Constant overstimulation numbs me
But I would not want you any other way

'Cause it's not enough, I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I said, I don't want it, I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive

Finger deep within the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Relax, turn around and take my hand

I can help you change tired moments into pleasure
Say the word and we'll be well upon our way
Blend and balance pain and comfort deep within you
Till you will not want me any other way

But it's not enough, I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I said, I don't want it, I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive

Knuckle deep inside the borderline
This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to
Relax, slip away

There's something kind of sad about
The way that things have come to be
Desensitized to everything
What became of subtlety?

How can this mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all?
Yeah
I'll keep digging 'til I feel something

Elbow deep inside the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Shoulder deep within the borderline
Relax, turn around and take my hand

La la la (rich kids),
La la la.

Yo, turn that s*** up.

I coulda went to college like rich kids do,
Buyin' weed with the money your mom sent you,
But I don't give a damn 'bout no higher degree,
'Cause you know in rock and roll, I got a PhD, b****.

(That's right, kids.)

We got all that we need, packed it up in the van,
Put the pedal to the floor, gave the finger to the man.

I'm not a rich kid, maybe that's a good thing,
Ain't got s***, but I got this far.
Keepin it real and rhymin' and stealin'
Doing what I want.

Oh ay oh, got no money but it's
Al-wa-ys, Always sunny honey.

(Yeah, that's right, Always sunny honey,
Here we go, second verse.)

I'm broke as a drunkie but I have a good time,
All the ladies think I'm cute cause they like the way I rhyme,
And the high school kids steal my mp3s,
Ain't no other mother(f***er) rock this mic like me.

Chyea

I'm not a rich kid, maybe that's a good thing,
Ain't got s***, but I got this far.
Keepin it real and rhymin' and stealin',
Doing what I want.

Oh ay oh, got no money but it's
Al-wa-ys, Always sunny honey.

We got all that we need, (We got all that we need)
We got all that we need, (We got all that we need)
We got all that we need, packed it up in the van,
Put the pedal to the floor, gave the finger to the man.

I'm not a rich kid, maybe that's a good thing,
Ain't got s***, but I got this far.
Keepin it real and rhymin' and stealin',
Doing what I want.

Oh ay oh, got no money but it's
Al-wa-ys, Always sunny honey.

(Always sunny honey,
Ha ha ha (rich kids).
Always sunny honey,
Yea(Rich kids)

[Deuce]:
I thought I told ya, I came to party.

[Deuce]:
Hey bar tender, can I get a cup?
Tonight's my night and I'm gettin' f***ed up.
I hope I still got the charm, got the luck,
'Cause all these b****es and ho's look like so much fun.

[Travie McCoy]:
And I just stepped in the club,
Feelin' my self like a braille book,
Double-fistin' two pitchers of pale ale,
Both stale as f***.
And all these busted females
Lined up at the bathroom,
In and out,
We know what they doin'.

[Deuce]: Chorus:
I came to party, I came to party.
Hands up girl give me that body.
I can tell you want somethin' from me,
'Cause everything you think girl I can see.
I came to party, I came to party.
Hands up girl give me that body.
I'm a make you mine before I leave,
'Cause every little thing you do to me,
Got me goin' crazy.

[Deuce]:
I thought I told ya, I came to party.

[Deuce]:
Let's have a party girl,
You can bring your friends tonight,
After the club
We can play all the games you like.
Yeah the stakes are high,
But if your cards right,
You'll be wakin' up naked;
What happened last night?

[Travie McCoy]:
Too bad you're, just another notch in the bedpost,
Tryin' a get close and cuddly.
My girl stays in Brooklyn,
You just my west-coast f*** buddy.
Get that through your skull girl,
I'm here for one night,
And please quit f***in' up my buzz 'cause

[Deuce]: Chorus
I came to party, I came to party.
Hands up girl give me that body.
I can tell you want somethin' from me,
'Cause everything you think girl I can see.
I came to party, I came to party.
Hands up girl give me that body.
I'm a make you mine before I leave,
'Cause every little thing you do to me,
Got me goin' crazy.

[Deuce]:
I thought I told ya. I came to party
Ya I came, I came, to party

[Truth]:
Sip, sip, sip, sip, sippin' on some bomb s***.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, it's about that time b****.
Sip, sip, sip, sip, we party hard and never quit,
West coast, east coast, yeah you lovin' it.
Sip, sip, sip, sip, sippin' on some bomb s***.
Tick, tick, tick, tick, it's about that time b****.
Sip, sip, sip, sip, we party hard and never quit,
Deuce, Truth, Travie, yeah you lovin' it.

[Deuce]: Yeah you L L L L lovin' it.

[Deuce]: Chorus
I came to party, I came to party.
Hands up girl give me that body.
I can tell you want somethin' from me,
'Cause everything you think girl I can see.
I came to party, I came to party.
Hands up girl give me that body.
I'm a make you mine before I leave,
'Cause every little thing you do to me,
Got me goin' crazy.

I know your life is empty
And you hate to face this world alone
So you're searching for an angel
Someone who can make you whole

I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
So just save yourself

(Save yourself)

I know that you've been damaged
Your soul has suffered such abuse
But I am not your savior
I am just as f***ed as you
(I am just as f***ed as you)

I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
So just save yourself

Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me

My life has been a nightmare
My soul is fractured to the bone
If I must be lonely
I think I'd rather be alone
(I think I'd rather be alone)

You cannot save me
You can't even save yourself
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
Save yourself
So just save yourself

In the morning as i rise put on my tracksuit and exercise

Walk on the road me nah trouble no one
Me nah eat no steak, me nah eat no ham
Grandma grew me as a vegetarian, music is my occupation..

Verse1:

Look how me big, look how me strong

Look how me big, look how me strong

Verse 2:
New day, nottin changed - war on the tv and the front page
Still killin', poverty same. I don't want no part of the game
No! stockmarket droppin' again
Businessmen still poppin' champagne
Want your money back?! They're not gonna pay
- Freedom fighters lock'em away
No joke, it's time we focus
Through the bad times work out jump rope it
Feels hopeless, but it ain't over
Till the fat b**** sings, so we gotta choke her
Metaphore - get s*** out of your system!
Never pork get s*** out my kitchen
Vegetables they all in the mix and
To the chorus y'all better listen!

Chorus 2
Look how me big, look how me strong
Say me must live long (in Babylon)
No animal inna mi pan, no. Me strictly vegan

Chorus 1

Verse 3:
While you pumpin' your breaks I'm runnin' away
No escape, but my hunger is great
Aah, the people lovin' the way
I rub a dub and numbin' the pain
Oh! From Modern day to the Struggle tape
My music overthrow the government
The distance long, resistance strong
Head on with the business it's on
Push up, sit up - What's up, get up
Lot of things that we gotta get rid of
Bust up, live up - Go go, big up!
All my people that's not gonna give up
Everything's connected from your mental health to your physical
Eat good, work out, each one teach one, send for help and get busy y'all....

Tek my chain and go pop big sport
Him and him gal gon' sniff nuff coke
Laugh and a tek that fe big joke

Ohhh, I miss the misery!

I’ve been a mess since you stayed,
I’ve been a wreck since you changed,
Don’t let me get in your way,
I miss the lies and the pain,
The fights that keep us awake-ake-ake
I’m telling you!

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me!
Miss the phone calls,
When it’s your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don’t miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don’t miss you, I miss the misery!

I’ve tried but I just can’t take it,
I’d rather fight than just fake it (cause I like it rough),
You know that I’ve had enough,
I dare ya to call my bluff,
Can’t take to much of a good thing
I’m telling you!

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me!
Miss the phone calls,
When it’s your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don’t miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don’t miss you, I miss the misery!

Just know that I’ll make you hurt,
(I miss the lies and the pain what you did to me)
When you tell me you’ll make it worse
(I’d rather fight all night than watch the TV)
I hate that feeling inside
You tell me how hard you’ll try
But when we’re at our worst
I miss the misery

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me.

I miss the rough sex,
Leaves me a mess,
I miss the feeling of pains in my chest!
Miss the phone calls,
When it’s your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don’t miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don’t miss you, I miss the misery!

I don’t miss you, I miss the misery!

Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, feelin' maybe he'll see a little better set of days, ooh, yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, oh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again

Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah
Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winters on its way
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away
Yeah!
Woo...ah yeah...f*** it up

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again, yeah
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away
