They say freak
When you're singled out
The red
Well it filters through

So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight goes red again

Seeing red again
Seeing red again

This change he won't contain
Slip away to clear your mind
When asked what made it show?
The truth he gives in to most

So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight goes red again

So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight goes red again

So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight goes red again

Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red!

They say freak
When you're singled out
The red
It filters through

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now

Since the prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
On down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then the renaissance came
And times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Doctor Martin Luther King, Malcolm X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades

We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk

From a different solar system many many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And we're on this musical mission to help the others listen
And groove from land to land singing electonic chants like
Zulu nation
Revelation
Destroy all nations
Destroy all nations

Now renegades are people with their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We're the renegades, we're the people with our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me c'mon!

We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk

We're poppin', sockin', rockin' put a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', rockin' put a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', an' sockin', an' rockin', an puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because we're, poppin', sockin', rockin' put a side of hip-hop
Poppin', sockin', rockin' put a side of hip-hop

We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk

We're teachers of the funk
And not of empty popping
We're blessed with the Force and the sight of electronics
With the bass, and the treble
The horns and our vocals
'Cause everytime we pop into the beat we get fresh

C'mon

There was a time when our music
Was something called the big street beat
People would gather from all around
To get down to the big sound
You had to be a renegade those days
To take a man on the dance floor

Say jam sucka (jam sucka)
Say jam sucka (jam sucka)
Say groove, sucka (groove sucka)
Now groove, sucka (groove sucka)
Say dance, sucka (dance sucka)
Say dance, sucka (dance sucka)
Say move, sucka (move sucka)
Now move, sucka (move sucka)

Say jam sucka (jam sucka)
Say jam sucka (jam sucka)
Say groove, sucka (groove sucka)
Now groove, sucka (groove sucka)
Say dance, sucka (dance sucka)
Say dance, sucka (dance sucka)
Say move, sucka (move sucka)
Now move, sucka (move sucka)

We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk

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!

Since I know how low to go
I wont let it show
Won't you touch me touch me, I won't let it go
And now I stand, and I peel for more.
Won't you touch me touch me, I won't let it go

Yes I've finally found a reason
I don't need an excuse
I've got this time on my hands
You are the one to abuse

Yes I've finally found a reason
I don't need an excuse
I've got this time on my hands
You are the one to abuse
One to abuse

You're always talking back to me
You won't let it be, won't you touch me touch me
It never bothered you before
Now I stand and I peel for more, wont you touch me touch me, i won't let it go

Yes I've finally found a reason
I don't need an excuse
I've got this time on my hands
You are the one to abuse

Yes I've finally found a reason

I am what you fear most
I am what you need
I am what you made me
I am the American Dream

I'm not selling out; I'm buying in
I will not be forgotten
This is my time to shine
I've got the scars to prove it
Only the strong survive
I'm not afraid of dying
Everyone has their time
Life never favored weakness
Welcome to the pride

Disneyland, Whitehouse, JFK, and Mickey Mouse
John Wayne, Springsteen, Eastwood, James Dean
Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Playboy, "text me"
NFL, NBA, Brett Favre, King James

I am all-American
I am living the dream
I am what you fear most
I am anarchy

I'm not selling out; I'm buying in
I will not be forgotten
This is my time to shine
I've got the scars to prove it
Only the strong survive
I'm not afraid of dying
Everyone has their time
Life never favored weakness
Welcome to the pride

Since the dawn of time
Only the strong have survived
I will not be forgotten

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On they fight, for the right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time he will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see, what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

using your hands to murder to fasten minds
that feel no mercy and who knows us
who knows us?
bound by diversion rehearsed
endlessly through time hindered
your life is measured
by those inhibiting your mind

who's the scapegoat?
who is labeled?
who gnaws the desert
in frustration?
now who's the scapegoat?
who is labeled?
who gnaws the desert
in frustration?

(Solo - Werstler)

bound by
diversion rehearsed
endlessly through time hindered
your life is measured
by those inhibiting your mind

awe-inspired by murder
to trample dead
those who are subject to torture
and to hinder
to hinder

(Solo - Levi)

Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side

I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret

I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover yeah

Don't be afraid
I don't mean to scare you
So help me Jesus

I can promise you
You will stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin, forever
Forever

Make up your mind
Make up your mind and I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me Jesus

Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be my angel

Do you wanna die

Well, I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
Jesus

Even with a diagram of my DNA
I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day
They try to pick apart my life-style and how I survive
Making money for the boss while I make nickel and dime
And being on time, takin' a punch and doin' my best
Not ever hearing, 'Good job' and staying upset
It doesn't take to much to find the sediments they left behind

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Not even with ten men holding me back
Not even with a devious planned attack
Contemplating every move that I play
Willing the bad things all away
Keeping the worry-free happiness philosophy
That's what I let them see when they try to look at me

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Don't want out

These issues arise every day
Though you try to turn your head and walk away
Though it leaves you feeling insecure
You're gonna feel your life mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

I need you
Here with me
Don't take this
Too far now

Your eyes seem
So lonely
Inside you
Feel like you lost your mind

Could've been the champagne, the champagne
Could've been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Could've been a bad day, a bad day
Could've been the real way, the real way
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Through

And I miss you
All day now
I'm screaming
Inside out

Don't tempt me
'Cause I'll break you
I don't need this
And I'll burn this whole thing down

Could've been the champagne, the champagne
Could've been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Could've been a bad day, a bad day
Could've been the real way, the real way
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Through
We were through

I wish you
Would take from me
Everything
I cannot be

With eyes so blind
You cannot see
That I won't ever leave

Could've been the champagne, the champagne
Could've been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Could've been a bad day, a bad day
Could've been the real way, the real way
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Through
We were through
Now we're through

This little one tries as hard as she can
Do anything just so she could fit in
She wants a friend so bad
She’ll do whatever they tell her

To make them smile she would misbehave
But all the while they would laugh at her face
She begins to cry
Because she thought that they liked her

Even though you feel all alone
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever
Your sunshine maybe gone I know
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever

He works hard everyday of his life
For his son on the way and his beautiful wife
But today he got a call from his job
They got something to tell him

They laid him off now he’s out on the streets
He’s got to do what it takes so his family can eat
Can’t even look at his wife
'Cause he feels like he failed them

Even though you feel all alone
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever
Your sunshine maybe gone but I know
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever

It don’t rain, it don’t rain forever
It can’t rain, it don’t rain forever

Rain down, rain down, rain down
So let it rain down, rain down, rain down
Rain down on me now

A young lady’s been lost for awhile
But that’s okay now she’s having a child
She finally got what she wants
She’s got someone who loves her

But this morning she woke up in pain
Nobody had to tell her 'cause she knew right away
So she started to cry
Because she won’t be a mother

Even though you feel all alone
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever
Your sunshine maybe gone but I know
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever

It don’t rain, it don’t rain forever
It can’t rain, it don’t rain forever

Rain down, rain down, rain down
Rain down on me
Rain down, rain down, rain down

[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.

What's coming through is alive
What's holding up is a mirror
What's singing songs is a snake...it is
Looking to turn my piss to wine

They're both totally void of hate
And killing me just the same now

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again

And I feel this coming over like a storm again...now
Considerately

Venomous voice tempts me
Drains me, bleeds me
Leaves me cracked and empty
Drags me down like some sweet gravity

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again

And I feel this coming over like a storm again...now
And I feel this coming over like a storm again...now

I am too connected to you
To slip away or fade away
Daze away, I still feel you
Touching me, changing me

And...considerately killing me
Considerately killing me
And...considerately killing me
Considerately killing me
And...

Without the skin peeled
Beneath the storm
Under these tears now
The walls came down

As the snake is drowned
As I look in his eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I could have cried...then
I should have cried...then

And as the walls come down
And as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died and will die
It's all right

I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind!

I am too connected to you
To slip away or fade away
Daze away, I still feel you
Touching me, changing me

And...considerately killing me
Considerately killing me
And...considerately killing me

Alone, listless -- breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl, violins -- center of her own attention
The mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it, tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head, painted room... can't deny there's something wrong

Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

She holds the hand that holds her down
She will rise above...

Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

The shades go down
The shades go down
The shades go...
Go...
Go...
