Ohhhh...c'mon!

Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back

You see us coming
And you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's best known down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you we're the cowboys from hell

Pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge,
Can't lock me in your cage

You see us coming
And you all together run for cover
We're taking over this town

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's best known down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you we're the cowboys from hell

(guitar solo)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's best known down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Coming for you we're the cowboys from hell

Awww, step aside for the cowboys from hell!

If ever words were spoken, painful and untrue
I said I loved, but I lied
In my life, all I wanted
Was the keeping of someone like you
As it turns out, deeper within me
Love was twisted and pointed at you
Never ending pain. Quickly ending life...

You keep this love (thing)
Love (child), love (toy)
You keep this love (fist)
Love (scar), love (break)
You keep this love!
Love! Love!
You keep this love!
Love! Love!
You keep this love!

I'd been the tempting one, stole her from herself
This gift in pain, her pain was life
And sometimes, I feel so sorry
I regret this hurting of you
But you made me so unhappy
I'll take my life and leave love with you
I'd kill myself for you, I'd kill you for myself

You keep this love (thing)
Love (child), love (toy)
You keep this love (fist)
Love (scar), love (break)
You keep this love!
Love! Love!
You keep this love!
Love! Love!
You keep this love!

No more head trips!

You keep this love (thing)
Love (child), love (toy)
You keep this love (fist)
Love (scar), love (break)
You keep this love!
Love! Love!
You keep this love!
Love! Love!
You keep this love!
You keep this love!
You keep this love!
You keep this love!
You keep this love!

Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence?
One step from lashing out at you
You want in to get under my skin and call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you, what do I do?

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes who I am where I've been belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time

Re-spect, walk
What do you say?
Re-spect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?
Are you talkin' to me?

Run your mouth when I'm not around, it's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes who I am where I've been belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time

Re-spect, walk
What do you say?
Re-spect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?

Re-spect, walk
What do you say?
Re-spect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?
Are you talkin' to me?
No way punk!

Re-spect, walk
What do you say?
Re-spect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?

Re-spect, walk
What do you say?
Re-spect, walk
Are you talkin' to me?
Are you talkin' to me?
Walk on home boy.

There's no money, there's no possessions, only obsession
I don't need that s***
Take my money, take my obsession

I just wanna be heard, loud and clear are my words
Comin' from within man, tell 'em what you heard
It's about a revolution, in your heart and in your mind
You can find the conclusion

Lifestyle and obsession, diamond rings get you nothin'
But a lifelong lesson, and your pocketbook stressin'
You're a slave to the system, workin' jobs that you hate

For that s*** you don't need
It's too bad the world is based on greed, step back and see
Stop thinkin' 'bout yourself, start thinkin' 'bout

There's no money, there's no possession, only obsession
I don't need that s***
Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession
I don't need that s***

'Cuz everything is nothing, and emptiness is in everything
This reality is really just a f***ed up dream
With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul
Flip it inside out It's a big black hole

Take your money burn it up like an asteroid
Possessions, they are never gonna fill the void, take it away
And learn the best lesson, the heart, the soul, the life, the passion

There's no money, there's no possession, only obsession
I don't need that s***
Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession
I don't need that s***
Money, possession, obsession

Present yourself, press your clothes, comb your hair
Clock in, you just can't win, just can't win
The things you own, own you, no

Take my money, take my possession, take my obsession
I don't need that s***
F*** your money, f*** your possession, f*** your obsession
I don't need that s***
Money, possession, obsession
I don't need that s***

In the brightest hour
Of my darkest day
I realized
What is wrong with me
Can't get over you
Can't get through to you
It's been a helter-skelter
Romance from the start

Take these memories
That are haunting me
Of a paper man cut into shreds
By his own pair of scissors
He'll never forgive her
He'll never forgive her

Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever

Sitting by a fire
On a lonely night
Hanging over from another good time
With another girl
Little dirty girl
You should listen to this story of a life

You're my heroine
In this moment I'm lonely
Fulfilling my darkest dreams
All these drugs, all these women
I'm never forgiving this broken heart of mine

Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever

One last kiss
Before I go
Dry your tears
It is time to let you go
One last kiss, one last kiss
Before I go, before I go
Dry your tears, dry your tears
It is time to let you go

Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever

One last kiss, one last kiss
Before I go, before I go
Dry your tears
It is time to let you go
One last kiss
Before I go
Dry your tears
It is time to let you go

One last kiss

Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a f*** if I cut my arm, bleeding.

This is my last resort.

Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a f*** if I cut my arm, bleeding.
Do you even care if I die bleeding?
Would it be wrong?
Would it be right?
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight
And a contemplated suicide.

Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine.

I never realized I was spread too thin
'Till it was too late
And I was empty within
Hungry!
Feeding on chaos and living in sin
Downward spiral.
Where do I begin?
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself
And no love from another
Searching!
To find a lover on a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils.

Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing is alright
Nothing is fine
I'm running, and I'm cryin'
I'm cryin', I'm cryin', I'm cryin, I'm cryin'.

I... can't... go... on... living... this... way...

Cut my life into pieces
this is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing,
Don't give a f*** if I cut my arm, bleeding.
Would it be wrong? Would it be right?
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight
And a contemplated suicide.

Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
losing my sight losing my mind
wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing is alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying.

I... CAN'T... GO... ON... LIVING... THIS... WAY!

Can't go on...
Living this way...
Nothing's all... RIGHT!

When I see her eyes
Look into my eyes
Then I realize that
She could see inside my head
So I close my eyes
Thinking that I could hide
Disassociate so I don't have to lose my head
This situation leads to agitation
Will she cut me off?
Will this be an amputation?

I don't know if I care
I'm the jerk
Life's not fair

Fighting all the time
This is out of line
She Loves Me Not
Loves me not
Do you realize
I won't compromise?
She Loves Me Not
Loves me not

Over the past 5 years
I have shed my tears
I have drank my beers
and watched my fears fly away
Until this day
She still swings my way
But it's sad to say sometimes
She says She Loves Me Not
But I hesitate
To tell her I hate
This relationship
I want out today
This is over

I don't know if I care
I'm the jerk
Life's not fair

Fighting all the time
This is out of line
She Loves Me Not
Loves me not
Do you realize
I won't compromise?
She Loves Me Not
Life's not fair
I'm the jerk

Line for line
Rhyme for rhyme
Sometimes we be fightin' all the goddamn time
It's making me sick
Relationship is getting ill
Piss drunk stupid
Mad
On the real
Could you feel what I feel?
What's the deal girl?
We're tearing up each other's world
We should be in harmony
Boy and girl
That is the promise we made
Back in the day
We told each other things wouldn't be this way
I think we should work this out
It's all right baby we can scream and shout

I don't know if I care
I'm the jerk
Life's not fair

Fighting all the time
This is out of line
She Loves Me Not
Loves me not
Do you realize
I won't compromise?
She Loves Me Not
Loves me not

Life's not fair!
Life's not fair!
Life's not fair!
I'm the jerk
Life's not fair

She Loves Me Not
Loves me not.

Kill the lights
I'm so sick of your face
Another night wasted wishing you away
Now I'm cut, I'm cut at the wrist
But i still can't kill the pain
I'd give anything to rip you from my head
From my head
The return of your voice marks another failure
And i can feel your blades closing on my back
I'll savour this one last taste, this taste of sanity
As it clutches, tearing at my heart
This is my final act of desperation
One second lost gives way to disease
I'd give anything to rip you from my head
Cause i can feel you
Creeping through me
Like a sickness
Your weakness
Scars your f***ing face
Scars your name
The return of your voice
Marks another failure
And i can feel your blades
Closing on my back
As light fades to past
Darkness wells against me
But my shattered eyelids
Refuse to close
Your breathe is death to me

Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin'
Sorry you didn't see him
But I'm glad we talked

Oh, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, oh

Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look
Oh, you know where
Now, I can't see, I just stare

I, I'm still alive
Hey, I, but, I'm still alive
Hey, I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah

Oo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh

Is something wrong? she said
Well, of course, there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so, if so, who answers? who answers?

I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive
Yeah, I'm still alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh-huh
Yeah, uh-huh
Uh-huh
Yeah, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

One, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, against one
Said one, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, five, five, five against one

Torture from you to me
Abducted from the street
I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal

Why would you wanna hurt me?
Oh, so frightened of your pain
I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal

I'd rather be...
I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal

I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal

I'd rather be...
I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal

Said one, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, five, five, five against one
One, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, five, five, five against one

Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o' clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over

She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man

Ohh...

Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know
She tells herself, oh...

Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man

She loved him, yeah, she don't want to leave this way
She needs him, yeah, that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man (Can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man (Can't find a better man)
Can't find a better man (Can't find a better man)
Can't find a better...man

Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did

All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the Earth to the Sun
Now, the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear?

Mm, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the Sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah

Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Woo
I know that someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be
Why can't it be mine?
Ah, yeah
Uh, woo-hoo

The waiting drove me mad
You're finally here and I'm a mess
I take your entrance back
Can't let you roam inside my head
I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
I would rather run but I can't walk
Guess I'll lie alone just like before

I'll take the firmest path
Oh, and I must refuse your test
Push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique

I don't want to hear from those who know
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before
I don't want to be held in your debt
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half-dead
I'll end up alone like I began

Everything has chains
Absolutely nothing's changed
Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture...

I don't want to take what you can give
I would rather starve than eat your breast
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't be what you want because I'm...

Ain't supposed to be just one
Oh, to live and die, let it be done
I figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began

It's your move now
I thought you were a friend
But I guess I... I guess I hate you...

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...

She nursed him there over a night
I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say? What to say?
But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past, a holy no
She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold, oh, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here

And to this day, she's glided on
Always home but so far away, like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
But when she had contact with the conflict
There was meaning but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around

When she couldn't hold, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
Oh, oh, oh...

She gave him away when she couldn't hold
No, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
Oh, couldn't hold on
She couldn't hold, mo, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place
Oh, a dissident is here

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
Yeah!
Woo...uh huh...yeah, yeah, mommy,mommy

Got a gun, 'fact I got two.
That's okay, man, 'cause I love God.
Glorified version of a pellet gun...
Feels so manly, when armed.

Glorified version of a pellet gun...
Glorified version of a pellet gun...
Glorified version of a pellet gun...
Glorified version of a pellet gun...

Don't think dumb is strength,
Never shot at a living thing.
Glorified version of a pellet gun...
Feels so manly, when armed.

Glorified version of a pellet gun...
Glorified version of a pellet gun...
Glorified version of a pellet gun...
Glorified version of a...

Always keep it loaded...
Always keep it loaded...
Always keep it loaded...


Life comes... I can feel your heart...
Life comes... I can feel your heart through your neck...
Life comes... I can feel your heart through your neck...
Like some... I can steal your heart from your neck...
Glorified... glorified...

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!

Every day is a new day
I'm thankful for every breath I take
I won't take it for granted (I won't take it for granted)
So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control sometimes it's best to let go,
whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love (So I trust in love)
You have given me peace of mind

I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly

Sunshine upon my face (Sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside (Tell the world how I feel inside)
Even though it might cost me everything
Now that I know this is beyond my control
'cause I could never turn my back away
Now that I see you (Now that I see you)
I can never look away

I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly

And now that I know you
I could never turn my back away
And now that I see you
I could never look away
And now that I know you
I could never turn my back away
And now that I see you
I believe no matter what they say

I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (For the very first time)
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly

So much to say so little time for me
To explain the way I feel. You only see
Things the way you want to see them (want to see them)
It makes sense to you
All these things you do
You got it all figured out
While everyone is confused
How do you do it? (How do you do it?)

In your mind I'm just blind
You're right all of the time
If I think for myself
I guess I'm way out of line
I'm not who you are
I'm so sorry (I'm so sorry)

I can't do anything right
You don't know me, stay out of my life
Kick me while I'm down, I want you to
I can't be like you
Don't wanna' be like you
I can't do anything right
You don't know me, stay out of my life
Kick me while I'm down, I want you to
I can't be like you
Be like you

No matter what I do it's never good enough
I give all that is me, still it's never enough
So, why try? I give up
What does it feel like to be in your sh***?
And walk over everyone like you do?
Tear me down again, I want you to (want you to...)

You're lovely, so beautiful
And you're perfect, in every way
Your interior rusted and I'm so disgusted
Can't trust it
You're busted

I can't do anything right
You don't know me, stay out of my life
Kick me while I'm down, I want you to
I can't be like you
Don't wanna' be like you
I can't do anything right
You don't know me, stay out of my life
Kick me while I'm down, I want you to
I can't be like you
Be like you

I can't do anything right
I can't do anything, anything right
I can't do anything, anything right
I can't do anything, anything right
I do anything right
Do anything right

(Haha)

I never knew that a kid like me
Could take his mic around the world and flash the big S. D
And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas
Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo
They know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work
Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word
I'm sure you heard (heard), about a new sound going around
She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town

You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! It's alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! It's alright!

Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, How you like me now?

I said
We rep. the South, so what you talking about
I'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt
'Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you
When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do (what to do)
Me and my crew, we stay true, old skool or new
Many were called, but the chosen are few (were a few)
We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot
Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got

You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! It's alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! It's alright!

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

Tribal fire never ends

Welcome to hard times
Back again
Like its never been
For the fiirst time
It seems to mess with my head
So when I realize what it takes
Can I relate
With whatever but never will it drive me to hate
Could be the next guy that you take before I wake
Now I lay me down to sleep, eyes tight when I pray
This here is real life, circumstances make you think
Should I be counting my blessings
The next second my eyes blink?

Here in the Southtown, hey you know that kids don't play
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive

Here in the Southtown, hey you know that kids don't play
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive

One love, its easier said than done
Can I rise above everything that's in my way?
Like words you say
You let your tongue get loose
But when push comes to shove, not used to walking away
I keep on looking up, cause these times, they getting tough
Tomorrow's gone, and its the same old song
Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up
A life to shine, you're the diamond in this rough

Here in the Southtown, hey you know that kids don't play
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive

Here in the Southtown, hey you know that kids don't play
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive

Dont wanna throw up my fist, aint gots to be like this
Dont wanna throw up my fist, I must resist (4x)

It aint gots to be (like this) (4x)
Like this, ain't gots to be like this (like this) (3x)
Like this, ain't gots to be, like, this (here in the Southtown!)
Like this

Here in the Southtown, hey you know that kids don't play

Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine

Here in the Southtown

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye
I didn't tell her that I loved her, how much I care
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared
Unaware I just did what I always do
Everyday the same routine
Before I skate off to school
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest

Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothing except:
Gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it's because

We are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are, (we are) youth of the nation
We are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are, (we are) youth of the nation

Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself
She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better

Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool
He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide
It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then
You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat

We are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are, (we are) youth of the nation
We are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are, (we are) youth of the nation

Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim?
No matter what you say
It don't take away the pain
That I feel inside
I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leading the blind

I guess that's the way that the story goes
Will it ever make sense?
Somebody's got to know
There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists

We are, we are, the youth of the nation
We are, we are, youth of the nation
We are, we are, (we are, we are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are, (we are, we are) youth of the nation
We are, we are, (we are, we are) the youth of the nation (the youth of the nation)
We are, we are, (we are, we are) youth of the nation (youth of the nation)
We are, we are, (we are, we are) the youth of the nation (the youth of the nation)
We are, we are, (we are, we are) youth of the nation (youth of the nation)

(We are) youth of the nation.
(We are) youth of the nation.
(We are) youth of the nation.
(We are)

My yesterday has taken my tomorrows
My empty heart can't take no more
It's hard to live with no one to follow
Where's the hope that I had before

I watch the seasons fade
My face still out of place
Each step, I can't deny, I'm in trouble
Tell me

How can I live without somebody like you?
Somebody like you, tell me
How can I live without somebody like you?
Please, tell me it's almost over

So many things in this room remind me
Of being here next to you
Well, these scares consume my mind and body

Where's the hope that I once knew
I watch the seasons fade my face still out of place
Each step I take I can't deny I'm in trouble
Tell me

How can I live without somebody like you?
Somebody like you, tell me
How can I live without somebody like you?
Please, tell me it's almost over

I'm sitting and listening
Laughing and wondering
I'm watching the stars go by
Everything reminds me of you

And I can't get you off my mind
How can I live? How can I live?
How can I live with out you in my life?

How can I live without somebody like you?
Somebody like you, tell me
How can I live without somebody like you?
Please, tell me it's almost over

How can I live without you?
When I'm watching the stars go by
How can I live without you?
I can't stop thinking, my hearts still beaten
But I'm still alone without you

(Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Now this is what it's like
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Now this is what it's like)

What is it really
That's going on here
You've got the system boards for total control
Now is there really anybody out there
Now watch us suffer cause we can't go
What is it really that is in your head
What little life that you had just died
I'm gonna be the one that's taking over
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you wanna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you
It's the end of all time

What is it really that motivates you
The need to fly or this fear to stall
I'll go along when you realize*
When we get there I say 9 of 10 drop
Now who is the light and who is the devil
You can't decide so I'll be your guide
And one by one they will be hand chosen
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you wanna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you
It's the end of all time

What is it really when they're falling over
Everything that you thought was denied
I'm gonna be the one that's taking over
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you wanna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you
It's the end of all time

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you wanna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you
It's the end of all time

Are you ready
Cause I'm ready
It's the end of all time
Are you going
Yeah I'm going
It's the end of all time

As blood stains soil underneath the rejects of the light
Everything that stands shall burn in fear of the dark lord

In this rage of storm, I hear the pouring drops of blood
Entrance to these shadows of the devil
Towers of light fall into this endless abyss
As monoliths of black arise

This fear now bleeds the storm, like flames engulfed in darkness
Passing days of despair, restless in these hours of suffering
These sharps claws of death yearn for this warm crimson touch
Swarms rage as demon hordes rip forth from my chest

Warm red streams explode beneath my hands
Moments closer to death to be swallowed into black
Embrace this deception for birthright in self-pain
Reborn as a shadow in the black inside the fires of hell

The bloodlettings of suicide flood onto the cold dark inside the mind
Drowning in the soft flames of hell within this the scent of decay
A voice of fire from within the sleep of shadow
This place of weeping for the children of the light

I am absorbed in the drowning of fire inside the catacombs of Hell

Enslaved by the scythe of Azrael with hallowed souls
The thirteen now await the black serpents, bringer of death
These children of the light lie silent in the dark
This sea of blood for joining in spirit descent

Shroud of ruin within this scourge of bloodshed
Rage in tainted blood that blinds all of the light
Entrance to this embrace inside deception
Elegies of lament for the thirteen children of the dark

Lying still, Satan opens the dark
I embrace deceit, whispers unto the dark
Voices fall silent as ghosts of their screams
Throbbing pulse of this becoming as the blade cuts through flesh
Echoing this haunting curse of cloven whispers

I am the depths of Hell
I call out from the blood
Up from the darkness
I call out from Hell

I am dead in this world
A flood of death in blood
Commanding this death that light has bled
Abyss is open within me
I purge this sea of blood
Symbolized in agony through this praise of the blade

Awakening the impure as we drink their blood in the name of the dark
Where I am drowned by the blood of Hell

My name is Mud
Not to be confused with Bill or Jack or Pete or Dennis
My name is mud and it's always been
'Cause I'm the most boring sons-a-b**** you've ever seen
I dress in blue-yes navy blue
From head to toe I'm rather drab except my patent sh***
I make 'em shine, well most the time
'Cept today my feet are troddin' on by this friend of mine
Six foot two and rude as hell
I got to get him in the ground before he starts to smell
My name is Mud

My name is Mud, but call me Aloysius Devadander Abercrombie
That's long for Mud so I've been told
Told that by this sonsab**** that lies before me bloated blue and cold
I've got my pride, I drink my wine
I'd drink only the finest 'cept I haven't earned a dime in several months
Or were it years
The breath on that fat bastard could bring any man to tears
We had our words, a common spat
So I kissed him upside the cranium with that aluminum baseball bat
My name is Mud

Wynona's got herself a big brown beaver
and she shows it off to all her friends.
One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her,
So she caged him up with cyclone fence.

Along came Lou with the old baboon
And said "Recognize that smell?"
"Smells like seven layers,
That beaver eats Taco Bell."

Now Rex was a Texan out of New Orleans
And he travelled with the carnival shows.
He ran bumper cars, sucked cheap cigars
And he candied up his nose.

He got wind of the big brown beaver
So he though he'd take himself a peek,
But the beaver was quick
And grabbed him by the kiwis.
And he ain't pissed for a week.

(And a half!)

Now Wynona took her big brown beaver,
And she stuck him up in the air.
Said "I sure do love this big brown beaver
And I wish I did have a pair."

Now the beaver once slept for seven days
And it gave us all an awful fright.
So I tickled his chin and I gave him a pinch
And the bastard tried to bite.

Wynona loved her big brown beaver
And she stroked him all the time.
She pricked her finger one day and it
Occurred to her she might have a porcupine.

Nothing breeds more contempt for this world
Than the memories now formed
Every moment, a new seed is grown
To no reason, the trouble unfolds

For the trials of today
I'm no jury, really don't care how you feel
The pleasant notion of miraculous change
Drifts into multiple jeers

Jeers
Jeers

You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers
You snap your neck

Seconds drip through my hands
Washed off moments unborn
All the spaces between bleed
A tribute to a sacrament never exposed

A message to the forces
I've no pity, don't know how thankful to feel
Expectations of my daily bread
Gives me the hunger to steal

You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers
You snap your neck

You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers
You snap your neck

You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers
You snap your neck

You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers
You snap your neck

Snap your fingers, snap your neck
Snap your fingers, snap your neck
Snap your fingers, snap your neck
Snap your fingers, snap your neck

I love the way you look at me
I feel the pain you place inside
You lock me up inside your dirty cage
While I'm alone inside my mind
I like to teach you all the rules
I get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
But then your secrets never show

I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You're not the one for me, no
I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel you
So why's there even

I love the way you rake my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
'Cause I'm that guy you'll never find
I think you know all of the rules
There's no expressions on your face
I hope that someday you will let me go
Release me from my dirty cage

I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You're not the one for me, no
I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel you
So why's there even
You and me

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can't control you
You're not the one for me, no
I can't control you
You can't control me
I need to feel you
So why's there even
You and me

You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no
You're not the one for me, no

Forgotten thoughts of yesterday
Through my eyes I see the past

Well I don't know I don't know I don't know why
I believe I believe I believe in the truth, from inside
Go away go away go away from me
Leave me alone
Ignorance spreads lies
How much will money bye
Well I'll take my time as I drift and die

Unwanted live my life a shame
Who's to blame for my mistakes

[chorus]

As I drift and die [x2]

Ignorance spreads lies
How much will money bye
Well I'll take my time
As I drift and die [x5]

Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho

She lays down on the fresh lawn
She can make everything magical
But she tied one on big time
And it makes me want to rewind

To back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off in any minute
And you know we're gonna win again

Yeah, you know we're gonna win again
Yeah, you know we're gonna win again

Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the paranoid flake-o, yeah

She lays down on the sidewalk
Never very analytical
She is something simply beautiful
Reappear with youth and magical

Back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off in any minute
Yeah, you know we're gonna win again

Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the paranoid flake-o

And you know we're gonna win again

Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I'm the one, maybe I'm the one
Who is the paranoid flake-o

You're the one, You're the one

Who is the schizophrenic psycho
(Who is the paranoid flake-o)

You're the one, You're the one
Who is the schizophrenic psycho

Met a girl, thought she was grand
Fell in love, found out first hand
Went well for a week or two
Then it all came un-glued

In a trap, trip I can't grip
Never thought
I'd be the one who would slip
Then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

She f***in' hates me
Trust
She f***in' hates me
La, la, la love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

She was queen for about an hour
After that, s*** got sour
She took all I ever had
No sign of guilt
No feeling pain, no

In a trap, trip I can't grip
Never thought
I'd be the one who would slip
Then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

She f***in' hates me
Trust
She f***in' hates me
La, la, la love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

That's my story, as you see
Learned my lesson and so did she
Now it's over, and I'm glad
'Cause I'm a fool for all I've said

She f***in' hates me
Trust
She f***in' hates me
La, la, la love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la love
Trust
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la love
Trust
La, la, la, la, la
And she tore my feelings like I had none
Trust
She f***in' hates me

Verse One: Prince Poetry

Here we go again with the funky intro
People approach me knowin I'm the Prince Po
e-t, r-y, and I'm the first batter
The Pharoah usually go first, but it don't matter
Funky slices of beats like this
Comes once in a blue, but it's not hard for me to chew
So kick off your sh*** and don't forget your socks
I wash and wash them emcess like Clorox
Skills I have, good and plenty
If you want dope lyrics but still gimmicks gimme
Beats, equivalent to just something that I can
Flow (flow) flow (flow) FLOAT ONnnnnn
It's gettin heavy so heavy and keep ya coat on
When I, proceed to, light the party
In the summer, somethin like a Mardi, Gras
Bikinis, panties, bras
Juicin em and I'm suckin the girls up like straws
OOPS upside ya dome
I don't answer the phone when I'm home not alone
on the bone
Leave your name and your number and a brief message at the end of the tone
BOOP!
Oooooh, and I like it
Cause I'm Poetry the psychic
Intellectual level would rather
nah, nah I don't like that
{talking} one more time
Rollin lyrics, off the tip of my tongue (swing)
I swing (swing), I swang (swang), I swung (swung)
Bringin you the news like Kaity Chung
But I'm not a pretty oriental specimen from
'Hong Kong Fooey, numba one supa guy'
I love the women but I don't try to see em
I'd rather make the money bein on the cover of E.M.
Get MCs mad make em flare up nostrils
I'm Poetry the rap fanatic I get hostile

Verse Two: Pharoah Monch

Pressure presssure pressure pressure pressure pressure cooker
I leave the party when I mass a lot of hookers
Slip and slide, I slid the sludge
(fudge) fudge (pudge) pudge, but I never hold a grudge
Up against the wall, I caught you with the drugs
(The organism's on the jury) guess who's the judge
I hit the hook HEAVY
Ready no chitter-chatter I figure since I'm bigger why pitter-patter
Props in no particular poetry persists to pertriculate ?
You're just a pussy (MEOW)
Cat when I'm deckin you
Disrespectin you
Clever whenever I select a new dialogue
One plus one get it together
Girls don't despair cause I'll be your 'Fair Weather Friend'
No I don't have a Benz and no I don't have an Infiniti
I figure the eight inches of ME, will be the remedy
Cause when I pull up to the bumper
Cause I'll be down to thump a girl like Heather Hunter
I tell you now you never hated
The triple X when it comes to sex is what I'm rated
I tell you know that I can give good love
Yes I'm the one you should love
So don't try to diss fudge pudge
'Cause it's al-right, with, me'
Kick slick rhymes out of a mouth
Tricky in a joust, plus I'm down with Mickey Mouse
C'mon everyone, lets flow to the rhy

Out in the garden there's half of a heaven
We're only bluffing
We're not ones for busting through walls
But they've told us
Unless we can prove that we're doing it
We can't have it all

He's gonna wangle a way to get out of it
She's an excuse
And a witness who'll talk when he's called,
But they've told us
Unless we can prove that we're doing it
We can't have it all
We can't have it all

[spoken]

All shining and bright
Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slow-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in gaffa?
Not till I'm ready for you
Not till I'm ready for you
Can I have it all

I try to get nearer
But as it gets clearer
There's something appears in the way
It's a plank in me eye
With a camel who's trying to get through it
Am I doing it?
Can I have it all now?

I pull out the plank
And say thank you for yanking me back
To the fact that there's always something to distract
But sometimes it's hard
To know if I'm doing it right
Can I have it all now?
Can I have it all now?
Can I have it all?
I can't have it all

[spoken:]

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slow-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in gaffa?
Not till I'm ready for you
Not till I'm ready for you
Can I have it all

I won't open boxes that I am told not to
I'm not a Pandora
I'm much more like the girl in the mirror,
Between you and me
She don't stand a chance of getting anywhere at all
Not anywhere at all
No, not a thing
She can't have it all

[spoken:]

I'm scared of the changes
Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slow-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in gaffa?
Not till I'm ready for you
Not till I'm ready for you

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slow-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in gaffa?
Not till I'm ready for you
Not till I'm ready for you
Can I have it all now?

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so f***in' special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so f***in' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, oh, oh

She's running out the door
She's running out
She run, run, run, run
Run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so f***in' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't belong here

Ughh!
Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack...ughh!
Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack...yeah!
It goes a 1, 2, 3...

Yeah'n it's just another bombtrack
And suckas be thinkin' that they can fake this
But I'm gonna drop it at a higher level
'Cause I'm inclined to stoop down
Hand out some beat downs cold runna train on punk ho's that
Think they run the game
But I learned to burn that bridge and delete
Those who compete at a level that's obsolete
Instead I warm my hands upon the flames of the flag
So recall the downfall
And the businesses that burned us all
See through the news and views that twist reality enough
I call the bluff
Manifest destiny

Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn

The thoughts of a militant mind
Hardline, Hardline after hardline

Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch them burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn,
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn,
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn,
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn,

It goes a 1, 2, 3...
Another funky radical bombtrack
Started as a sketch in my notebook
But now dope hooks make punks take another look
my thoughts ya hear, ya begin to fear
That ya card will get pulled if ya interfere
With the thoughts of a militant mind,
Hardline, hardline after hardline

Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And the watch 'em burn

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn!

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

Bulls on parade
Come wit it now, come wit it now
Bulls on parade
Bulls on parade
Bulls on parade

Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one

So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one

So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

Bangin' this bolo tight on this solo flight can't fight alone
Funk tha track my verbs sly like tha family stone
Tha pen devils set that stage for tha war at home
Locked wit out a wage ya standin' in tha drop zone
The clockers born starin' at an empty plate
Momma's torn hands cover her sunken face
We hungry but them belly full
The structure is set ya neva change it with a ballot pull
In tha ruins there's a network for tha toxic rock
School yard ta precinct, suburb ta project block
Bosses broke south for new flesh and a factory floor
The remains left chained to the powder war

Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
So make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first
Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one

Yes I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one

So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

Bare witness to tha sickest shot while suckas get romantic
They ain't gonna send us campin' like they did my man Fred Hampton
Still we lampin' still clockin' dirt for our sweat
A ballots dead so a bullet's what I get
A thousand years they had tha tools
We should be takin' 'em
F*** tha G-ride I want the machines that are makin' em
Our target straight wit a room full of armed pawn to
Off tha kings out tha west side at dawn

Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
Make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first
Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one

Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one

Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun

The rungs torn from the ladder can't reach the tumour
One god, one market, one truth, one consumer

Just a quiet peaceful dance!
Just a quiet peaceful dance!
Just a quiet peaceful dance!
Just a quiet peaceful dance!
Just a quiet peaceful dance for the things we'll never have
Just a quiet peaceful dance for the things we don't have

Uggh!
A pump A pump Wuh!
Come on!
Uggh!
Solo, I'm a soloist
on a solo list
All live, never on a floppy disk
Inka, inka, bottle of ink
Paintings of rebellion
Drawn up by the thoughts I think

Yeah!
Come on!
The militant poet in once again, check it

It's set up like a deck of cards
They're sending us to early graves
For all the diamonds
They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades
With poetry I paint the pictures that hit
More like the murals that fit
Don't turn away
Get in front of it

Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe?

Yo, check the diagonal
Three brothers gone
Come on
Doesn't that make it three in a row?

[Your anger is a gift]

Come on!
Uggh!

Drop back!
Uggh!
Come on
Yeah
Uggh

Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe?

Yo, check the diagonal
Three million gone
Come on
'Cause ya know they're counting backwards to zero

Environment
The environment exceeding on the level
Of our unconciousness
For example
What does the billboard say
Come and play, come and play
Forget about the movement

[Your anger is a gift]

Yeeeaaahhhh!
Uggh!
Awww, bring that s*** in!
Uggh!
Hey!

Freedom...yea...
Freedom...yea right...
Freedom...yeeeaaahhh!
Freedom!
Yea!
Freedom!
Yea right!
Freedom!
Yea!
Freedom!
Yea!
Right!

Transmission third world war third round
A decade of the weapon of sound above ground
Ain't no shelter if you're looking for shade
I lick shots at the brutal charade
As the polls close like a casket
On truth devours
A silent play in the shadow of power
A spectacle monopolized
The camera's eye on choice disguised
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?
A spectacle monopolized
They hold the reins, stole your eyes
The fistagons bullets and bombs
Who stuff the banks
Who staff the party ranks
More for Gore or the son of a drug lord
None of the above f*** it cut the cord

Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio

Contact I high jack the frequencies
Blockin' the beltway
Move on DC
Way past the days of bombin' MC's
Sound off Mumia Guan be free
Who got 'em yo check the federal file
All you pen devils know the trial was vile
All you pigs trying to silence my style
Off 'em all out that box it's my radio dial

Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up

It has to start somewhere
It has to start sometime
What better place than here
What better time than now

The main attraction: distraction
Got you number than number than numb
Empty your pockets, son
They got you thinkin' that
What you need is what they sellin'
Make you think that buyin' is rebellin'
From the theaters to malls on every shore
The thin line between entertainment and war
The frontline is everywhere, there be no shelter here
Speilberg, the nightmare works, so push it far
Amistad was a whip, the truth feathered and tarred
Memories erased and burned and scarred
Trade in your history for a VCR

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth Reich culture: Americana
Chained to the dream they got you searchin' for
The thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here
The frontline is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The frontline is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The frontline is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The frontline is everywhere

Hospitals not profitful
The market bulls got pockets full
To advertise some hip disguise
View the world from American eyes
The poor adore keep fiendin' for more
The thin line between entertainment and war
Fix the need, develop the taste
Buy their products or get laid to waste
Coca-Cola was back in the veins of Saigon
And Rambo too, he's got a dope pair of Nikes on
And Godzilla, pure motherf***in' filler
Get your eyes off the real killer

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth Reich culture: Americana
Chained to the dream they got you searchin' for
The thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here
The frontline is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The frontline is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The frontline is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The frontline is everywhere

American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothin' behind

American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothin' behind

Just stare
Just stare
Just stare
Just stare
Relive the nightmare

Yeah people come up
Yeah, we better turn tha bass up on this one
Check it,

Since fifteen-hundred and sixteen, minds attacked and overseen
Now crawl amidst the ruins of this empty dream
Wit their borders and boots on top of us
Pullin' knobs on the floor of their toxic metropolis
But how you gonna get what you need ta get?
Tha gut eaters, blood drenched get offensive like Tet
Tha fifth sun sets get back reclaim
Tha spirit of Cuauhtemoc, alive and untamed
Now face tha funk now blastin' out ya speaker, on tha one Maya, Mexica
That vulture came ta try and steal ya name
But now you got a gun, yeah this is for the people of the sun

It's comin' back around again
This is for the people of the sun
It's comin' back around again! Uh

Yeah, neva forget that tha wip snapped ya back
Ya spine cracked for tobacc-oh I'm the Marlboro man, uh
Our past blastin' on through the verses
Brigades of taxi cabs rollin' Broadway like hearses
Troops strippin' Zoots, shots of red mist,
Sailors blood on tha deck, come sista resist
From tha era of terror check this photo lens,
Now tha city of angels does the ethnic cleanse
Uh, heads bobbin' to tha funk out ya speaker, on tha one Maya, Mexica
That vulture came to try and steal ya name
But now you found a gun, you're history, this is for the people of the sun

It's comin' back around again!
This is for the people of the sun!
It's comin' back around again! Yeah!

Of the sun

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 world is my expense
The cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire
So raise your fists
And march around
Just don't take what you need
I'll jail and bury those committed
And smother the rest in greed
Crawl with me into tomorrow
Or I'll drag you to your grave
I'm deep inside your children
They'll betray you in my name

Hey, Hey,
Sleep now in the fire
Hey, Hey
Sleep now in the fire

The lie is my expense
The scope of my desire
The Party blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire
I am the Nina, The Pinta, The Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist
And the fields overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of Hiroshima
The cost of my desire
Sleep now in the fire

Hey, Hey,
Sleep now in the fire
Hey, Hey
Sleep now in the fire

For it's the end of history
It's caged and frozen still
There is no other pill to take
So swallow the one
That made you ill
The Nina, The Pinta, The Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist
The fields overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of Hiroshima
The cost of my desire
Sleep now in the fire

Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire

UH!

The movie ran through me
The glamour subdue me
The tabloid untie me
I'm empty please fill me
Mister anchor assure me
That Baghdad is burning
Your voice it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
I need you my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you
Yes the car is our wheelchair
My witness your coughing
Oily silence mocks the legless
Ones who travel now in coffins
On the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door
Now testify

Now testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Yes testify
It's right outside your door

With precision you feed me
My witness I'm hungry
Your temple it calms me
So I can carry on
My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire I'm choking on the smoke that fills my home
The wrecking ball is rushing
Witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
While on the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door

Now testify
Yeah testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Now testify
It's right outside your door

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set (and the price is set)
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set (and the price is set)
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set (and the price is set)
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set (and the price is set)

Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?

Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door

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..."

All around the world
We could make time
Romp in' and a stompin'
'Cause I'm in my prime

Born in the north
And sworn to entertain ya
'Cause I'm down for
The state of Pennsylvania

I try not to whine
But, I must warn ya
'Bout the motherf***in'
girls from California

Alabama baby
Said, hallelujah
Good god girl
I wish I knew ya

I know I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
I know I know it's you
You say hello and then I say I do

Come back baby
'Cause I'd like to say
I've been around the world
Back from Bombay

Fox hole love
Pie in your face
Living in and out
Of a big fat suitcase

Bonafide ride
Step aside my Johnson
Yes I could
In the woods of Wisconsin

Wake up the cake
It's a lake she's kissin' me
As they do when
They do in Sicily

I know I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
I know I know it's you
You say hello and then I say I do

Where you want to go
Who you want to be
What you want to do
Just come with me

I saw God
And I saw the fountains
You and me girl
Sittin' in the Swiss Mountains

Me Oh My O
Me and Guy O
Freer than a bird
'Cause we're rockin' Ohio

Around the world
I feel dutiful
Take a wife
'Cause life is beautiful

I know I know for sure
ding ding dang dong dong
ding dang dong dong
ding dang
I know I know its you
ding ding dang dong dong
ding dang dong dong
ding dang

Mother Russia do not suffer
I know you're bold enough
I've been around the world
And I have seen your love

I know I know it's you
You say hello and then I say I do

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'll be there
Waiting for
Dani the girl
Is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee
Overload

Steak-knife
Card shark
Con job
Boot cut

Skin that flick
She's such a little DJ
Get there quick
By street but not the freeway
Turn that trick
To make a little leeway
Beat that nic
But not the way that we play

Dog town
Blood bath
Rib cage
Soft tail

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there
Waiting for

Black jack
Dope d***
Pawn shop
Quick pick

Kiss that dyke
I know you want to hold one
Not on strike
But I'm about to bowl one
Bite that mic
I know you never stole one
Girls that like
A story so I told one

Song bird
Main line
Cash back
Hard top

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there
Waiting for
Dani the girl
Is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee
Of her soul

By the way I tried to say
I'd be there
Waiting for

Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya
Oh ah, kissed ya then I missed ya

I know you
From before

Standing in line

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

How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up and brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I've got to take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I married the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever

Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I've got to take it on the otherside

A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for a soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever

Turn me on, take me for a hard ride
Burn me out, leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that
It's not my friend
I tear it down I tear it down
And then it's born again

How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever
(How long, how long)
I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause
With the birds I'll share
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view
With the birds I'll share

Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Fallin' all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health 'cause

With the birds I'll share
This lonely view

Blood loss in a bathroom stall
Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
Wave good-bye to ma and pa 'cause

Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl in
Autumn's sweet we call it fall
I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view

I've got a bad disease
But from my brain is where I bleed.
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze.

Well all the love from thee
With all the dying trees I scream.
The angels in my dreams (yeah)
Have turned to demons of greed that's mean.

Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Today love smiled on me.
It took away my face say please
All that you had to free
You gotta let it be oh yeah.

Where I go I just don't know
I got to gotta gotta take it slow.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Oh, so polite indeed
Well I've got everything I need.
Oh make my days a breeze
And take away my self destruction.

It's bitter baby,
And its very sweet.
I'm on a rollercoaster,
But I'm on my feet.
Take me to the river,
Let me on your shore.
I'll be coming back baby,
I'll be coming back for more.

Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad

I could not forget
But I will not endeavor
Simple pleasures aren't as special
But I won't regret it never.

Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Where I go I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna keep you for the end of time.

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I drive on her streets, 'cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills, 'cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds, and she kisses me windy
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie

And I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, yeah
Yeah, yeah

It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

Well, I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Well, I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
Yeah, yeah

One time

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away, yeah

Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
Yeah, yeah

Will I stay?

I haven't slept for two days
I've bathed in nothing but sweat
And I've made hallways
Scenes for things to regret
My friends they come
And the lines they go by

Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry
Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry

I live my life over cocaine
Just a rage and three kinds of yes
And I've made stairways
Such scenes for things that I regret
Oh, those days in the sun
They bring a tear to my eye

Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry
Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry

But you're so young
You're so young, you look in my eyes
You're so young, so sweet, so surprised

So the sign says okay
Gotta take a ride
Just recline in the faraway
Gotta take some time to realize
That my friends they come
And the lines they go by

Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry
Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry

But you're so young
You're so young, you look in my eyes
You're so young, so sweet, so surprised
You look so young like a daisy in my lazy eyes

So tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry
Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry
Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry
Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry

It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down, a single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten

There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

So tell me now if this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have, oh, oh

And the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days that deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand, uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand, now do you understand?

So tell me now if this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have, oh, oh

One thousand miles away, there's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice, this world is too much noise
It takes me under, it takes me under once again

I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no

So tell me now if this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have, oh, oh

I don't hate you
I don't hate you, oh, oh
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no, oh, oh

Rage in the cage and piss upon the stage
There's only one sure way to bring the giant down
Defunct the strings of cemetery things
With one flat foot on the Devil's wing

Crawl on me
Sink into me

Dead I am the one
Exterminating son
Slipping through the trees
Strangling the breeze
Dead I am the sky
Watching angels cry
While they slowly turn
Conquering the worm

Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula
Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches

Dead I am the pool
Spreading from the fool
Weak and want you need
Nowhere as you bleed
Dead I am the rat

Dying as you purr
