Pardon me while I burst.
Pardon me while I burst.

A decade ago, I never thought I would be
At twenty-three on the verge of spontaneous combustion; woe-is-me.
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
That I have had all I can take and exploding seems like a definite
Possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me; they'll never be the same.

Not two days ago, I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees.
I said, "I can relate," 'Cause lately I've been
Thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from
The burdens of the planet Earth;
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D,
But thinking so much differently

Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me; they'll never be the same

Never be the same, yeah.

Pardon me while I burst into flames.
Pardon me. Pardon me. Pardon me.

So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me; they'll never be the same

Never be the same, yeah.

Well, staggered into yesterday
Bourbon in my hand
Feelin' fancy clancy, feelin' like a man
I ain't afraid to cry 'cos you know I ain't no punk

Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk
Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk
Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank
Drank, drunk

Feelin kinda clever, lookin kinda cool
No matter what the weather
You know I ain't no fool 'cos I ain't afraid to cry
'Cos you know I ain't no punk

I found it in the locker, it's gotta be a pint of vodka
I see it on the table, it's gotta be a Black Label
I smell it on my skin, it's gotta be a pint of gin

Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk
Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk
Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank
Drank, drunk

Oh, drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk
Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk
Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk

Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk
Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk
Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk

Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk
Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank, drunk
Drink, drank, drunk, drink, drank
Drank, drunk

Change my attempt good intentions

Crouched over
You were not there
Living in fear
But signs were not really that scarce
Obvious tears
But I will not
Hide you through this
I want you to help
And please see
The bleeding heart perched on my shirt

Die, withdraw
Hide in cold sweat
Quivering lips
Ignore remorse
Naming a kid, living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red

Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I
Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I

Crowned hopeless
The article read living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red
but I will not
Hide you through this
I want you to help

Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I

Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I

Heave the silver hollow sliver
Piercing through another victim
Turn and tremble be judgmental
Ignorant to all the symbols
Blind the face with beauty paste
Eventually you'll one day know

Change my attempt good intentions
Limbs tied, skin tight
Self inflicted his perdition

Should I, could I
Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I

So you got a new car
The music's blasting through the speakers
You won the lottery two days ago
You say it changed
Your life forever

You despise everyone
Who is not like you
You say that's the only way
To survive these days

You quit smoking
'Cause you said if you smoke you die
And became a vegetarian the very next day
Think that's all that's gonna take to make up for the past

(Chorus)
What you're gonna do with all the money?
And how you're gonna sleep at nights?
And where you're gonna go in the morning?
When you're gonna realize this isn't what you want?

So you just drove to the park
Walk in the dark
And remember how you used to be
Just you and the city
Where everything's real
Where the mailman knows who you are
And where there's always a place to go when you need to cry
Just in case you don't have enough reasons to go crazy

(Chorus)
What you're gonna do with all the money?
And how you're gonna sleep at nights?
And where you're gonna go in the morning?
When you're gonna realize this isn't what you want?

You say that's a perfect life
I don't want it
You say that's a perfect life
I don't want it
I don't want it

"The story of my life, man..."

Oh!
Oh!

What I've got, you've got to give it to your mama
What I've got, you've got to give it to your papa
What I've got, you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water

What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling; don't stop, continue

I realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide wisely you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the loving upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser?

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper

Greedy little people in a sea of distress
Keep your more to receive your less
Unimpressed by material excess
Love is free, love me, say "Hell, yes"

Low brow, but I rock a little know-how
No time for the piggies or the hoosegow
Get smart, get down with the pow wow
Never been a better time than right now

Bob Marley, poet and a prophet
Bob Marley, taught me how to off it
Bob Marley, walkin' like he talk it
Goodness me, can't you see I'm gonna cough it?

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Ohhh, oh, yeah!
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper


Lucky me, swimmin' in my ability
Dancin' down on life with agility
Come and drink it up from my fertility
Blessed with a bucket of lucky mobility

My mom, I love her 'cause she love me
Long gone are the times when she scrub me
Feelin' good, my brother gonna hug me
Drink up my juice, young love chug-a-lug me

There's a river born to be a giver
Keep you warm won't let you shiver
His heart is never gonna wither
Come on, everybody, time to deliver

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper


What I've got, you've got to give it to your mama
What I've got, you've got to give it to your papa
What I've got, you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water

What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling; don't stop, continue

I realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide wisely you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin' upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser?

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now

Owww

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!

Undead!
Undead!
Undead!
Undead!

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way
Tomorrow we'll rise, so let's fight today
You know I don't give a f*** what you think or say
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way
Tomorrow we'll rise, so let's fight today
You know I don't give a f*** what you think or say
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway

(Johnny 3 Tears)
Look up and see that motherf***ing writing on the wall
When you see J3T... 30 deep, he's down to brawl
F*** all haters I see, 'cause I hate that you breathe
I see you duck, you little punk, you little f***ing disease

I got HU tatted on the front of my arms
Boulevard, brass knuckles in the back of the car
'Cause we drunk drive Cadillacs, we never go far
But when you see us motherf***ers, better know who we are

I got one thing to say to punk asses who hate
Motherf***ers don't know, but you better watch what you say
From these industry f***s, to these f***** ass punks
You don't know what it takes to get this motherf***ing drunk

I'm already riding baby, it's a little too late,
Johnny's taking heads off of all f*****s who hate
'Cause I'm a God motherf***er, there's a price to pay...
Get out my gun motherf***er... and it's Judgement Day!

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way
Tomorrow we'll rise, so let's fight today
You know I don't give a f*** what you think or say
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way
Tomorrow we'll rise, so let's fight today
You know I don't give a f*** what you think or say
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway

(Charlie Scene)
I'm getting used to this nuisance of fags who bad mouth this music
How f***ing stupid and foolish of you to think you can do this
You cowards can't, you never will, don't even try to pursue it
I took the chance, I paid the bill, I nearly died for this music

You make me wanna run around pulling my guns out and s***
You're tempting me to run my mouth and call you out on this b****
How ignorant you gotta be to believe any of this
You need to slit your wrist, get pissed and go jump off a bridge

What, you can't see the sarcasm in the verses I spit
What, you think I just got lucky and didn't work for this s***
B****, I've been working at this ever since I was a kid
I've played a million empty shows to only family and friends

What kind of person would diss a band that deserves to get big
I'd hate to be that person when my verse comes out their kid's lips
That s***'s as worse as it gets, this verse is over, I quit
Signed Charlie Scene... on your girlfriend's tits

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way
Tomorrow we'll rise, so let's fight today
You know I don't give a f*** what you think or say
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way
Tomorrow we'll rise, so let's fight today
You know I don't give a f*** what you think or say
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway

(J-Dog)
White boys with tattoos, p-pointing right at you
We're breaking everything, r-rowdy like a class room
Pack of wolves, 'cause we don't follow the rules
And when you're running your mouth, our razor blades come out

Bu-but you always press, and you know I never stress
With f***ing DMS, J-Johnny to my left
Got Phantom and the rest who are down to rep the west
I grew up on by drive by's and LA gang signs

So what the f*** you know about being a gangsta?
And what the f*** you know about being in danger?
You ain't doing this, so you know you just talking s***,
Mad at all of us 'cause every song is a f***ing hit!

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way
Tomorrow we'll rise, so let's fight today
You know I don't give a f*** what you think or say
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway

(Undead!)
You better get up out the way
Tomorrow we'll rise, so let's fight today
You know I don't give a f*** what you think or say
'Cause we gonna rock this whole place anyway

(Undead!)
Motherf***er, time to ride, ride...
(Undead!)
I see you duck when we drive by
(Undead!)
Motherf***er, it's time to ride, ride...
(Undead!)
Won't you punks just die, die, die...
(Undead!)

Little black submarines
Operator, please,
Put me back on the line

Told my girl I’d be back
Operator, please,
This is wrecking my mind.

Oh, can it be,
the voices calling me?
They get lost and out of time.

I should’ve seen it glow,
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Pick you up, let you down, when I wanna go
To a place I can hide

You know me, I had plans
But they just disappear
To the back of my mind
Oh, can it be,
the voices calling me?
They get lost and out of time.

I should’ve seen it glow,
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

Treasure maps, fallen trees
Operator, please,
Call me back when it’s time

Stolen friends and disease,
Operator, please
Pass me back to my mind

Oh, can it be,
the voices calling me?
They get lost and out of time

I should’ve seen it glow,
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

At home, drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
And the dead lay
In pools of maroon below

Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact
That mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

Clearly I remember
Picking on the boy
Seemed a harmless little f***
Oh, but we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget?

And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurting
Oooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day
Oh like the day I heard

Daddy didn't give affection, no
And the boy was something
That mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

Whoa... (x15)

Try to forget this
(Try to forget this)
Try to erase this
(Try to erase this)
From the blackboard

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
Jeremy spoke in class today

Uh huh (x25)

Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Yeah yeah!

Come and give me that Wildfire!
The uncivilized sound that I love
The primitive, like a blaze style!
Consciousness vibes I and I know
The untamed flame that I desire!
Me want uncultivated Jah glow
Foolish intensity, versatile!
He'll fly the spirit high, take me higher!

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

I want to feel that Wildfire!
Irregular burning of the sun
Shining through, make you spit fire!
Savage combustion, let it go
Impetuous, fervor testifier!
Outlandish passions I know
Crucial rhythms no Denial!
Musical nation, Empire!

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

One leads with the passion
Tribal fire will never end
The righteous will burn again
Tribal fire will never end
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
Mike D come on and rock the sure shot

I've got the brand new doodoo
Guaranteed like Yoohoo
I'm on like Dr John, yeah Mr Zu Zu
I'm a newlywed, not a divorcee
And everything I do is funky like Lee Dorsey
Well it's the taking of the Pelham, one, two, three
If you want a doodoo rhyme then come see me
I've got the savoir-faire with the unique rhyme and
I keep it on and on, it's never quitting time and
Strictly hand held is the style I go
Never rock the mic with the pantyhose
I strap on my ear goggles and I'm ready to go
'Cause at the boards is the man they call Mario
Pull up at the function and you know I'm Kojak
To all the party people that are on my Balzac
I've got more action than my man John Woo
And I've got mad hits like I was Rod Carew

'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
Ad Rock come and rock the sure shot

Hurricane'll cross fade your ass and bust your ear drums
Listen everybody 'cause I'm shifting gears I'm
Fresh like Dougie when I set my specs and
On the microphone I come correct
Timing like a clock when I rock the hip hop
Top notch is my stock on the soapbox
I've got more rhymes than I've got gray hairs
And that's a lot because I've got my share
I've got a hole in my head and there's no one to fix it
Got to straighten my thoughts, I'm thinking too much sick s***
Everyone just takes and takes, takes, takes, takes
I've got to step back, I've got to contemplate
I'm like Lee Perry, I'm very
On rock the microphone and then I'm gone
I'm like Vaughn Bode, I'm a Cheech Wizard
Never quitting, so won't you listen

*Ah yes indeed it's fun time*
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
MCA come and rock the sure shot

I want to say a little something that's long overdue
The disrespect to women has got to be through
To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends
I want to offer my love and respect to the end
Well you say I'm twenty-something and I should be slacking
But I'm working harder than ever and you could call it macking
So I'm supposed to sit upon my couch watching my TV
I'm still listening to wax, I'm not using the CD
Well I'm that kid in the corner
All f***ed up and I wanna so I'm gonna
Take a piece of the pie, why not, I'm not quittin'
Think I'm gonna change up my style just to fit in
I keep my underwear up with a piece of elastic
I use a bulls*** mic that's made out of plastic
To send my rhymes out to all the nations
Like Ma Bell, I've got the ill communications

'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop
'Cause you can't, you won't and you don't stop

Feel like your falling
?It’s taken us down---or---mistaken the step?
?In front of you, is further from the truth
In front of ?, In front of me again
Again

[Chorus]
Denial isn’t the way to forgiveness
You always swore that I was wrong
Not again
No taste for the crow you feed me
Not again
It’s not a matter of if I care
Not again
What an intricate web your weaving
Did it again

So you tried not to fall
As the clouds slow to ?
So here we are back where we began
And toe to toe I stand in front of you again
Again

[Chorus]

Not again
No taste for the crow you feed me
Not again
It’s not a matter of if I care
Not again
What an intricate web your weaving
Did it again
Again

In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer Stench
'Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come [x4]

Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
Sometimes far too long for snakes
In my sh***
Walking sleep
In my youth I pray to keep
Heaven send hell away
No one sings like you any more

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) [x4]

Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just disappear

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) [x7].

Come wit it now, come wit it now

The microphone explodes, shattering the molds
Either drop tha hits like de-la-o, or get tha f*** off tha commode
Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop
Drop an don't copy, yo, don't call this a co-opt
Terror rains, drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of tha power dons
That five-sided fist-a-gon
Tha rotten sore on tha face of Mother Earth gets bigger
Tha trigger's cold, empty ya purse

Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells

Weapons, not food, not homes, not sh***, not need
Just feed tha war, cannibal animal
I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library
Line up to tha mind cemetery now
What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive and movin'
They don't gotta burn tha books, they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells
Rally round the family, pockets full of shells

Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
