For scum like you, I have no fucking pity Pre-chorus: Pushing and scamming, distribute all your poison You call yourself a man, well you're nothing but a boy son A real man works hard, starves to climb the ropes Not killing for money, on the corner selling dope Money isn't everything, I guess it was to you Did you control your own life or greed controlled you For the lives that you destroyed, so morally depraved For the people you left grieving, I spit on your grave Chorus: So it seems, this is the system, and I'm sorry to say Dealers pay the cops to turn and look the other way On both sides of the law, justice has been done Not by a judge and jury but by the trigger of a gun Lead Everybody scratches and tries to get ahead You took the easy way, it is easy being dead The chamber spins three, grab the trigger then you pull it The game is called roulette and you just won the bullet Pre-chorus Chorus 2x The chamber spins three... 2: Punishment I question not me, it only happens to others I can't deny reality as lite gets smothered If the lines can be read between Maybe you can tell me then what it all means Cause he who paints the big picture runs the whole scene Locked down, I gotta get it out Impending doom, a cloud above my head Why me ? My faith has been devout Blasphemous ? Am I better off dead ? Punishment, for all my sins A burning thought inside my mind Has me full of pity for all of human kind As we move forth, we fall further behind Fear of death, will my life go on ? Controlled fate ? On the corner rolling dice Punishment, but I've done nothing wrong In my eyes, who really pays the price My lament, for the human race Guilty, punishment for all my sins Dread the day that brings the truth Punishment for what I've done Sentence me for all my sins Bound in fear for what I've got Though not much it seems a lot Life is death and no one wins Bustin' my ass, another day another dollar, as I kneel down and I confess to the father that I'm suffering a burning question of the truth, whether or not to pull the trigger or to jump right off the roof, 'cause I did things normal and just like all my friends but now I'm positive and life it all ends Punishment, for all my sins, I repent In reality, we all must face the fact that the majority of the people are out there smoking crack, getting doped up, shooting that shit into their veins, the question must be asked if we have any brains left, or right or wrong in this song, a question we all ask and must answer before long, 'cause no one is safe in this world, what's the deal, the sentence is death and to what court do I appeal ? Punishment, for all my sins, I repent Punishment 3: Shades Of Gray I make now a stand for belief that I'm steadfast In hating all of the bullshit you give me about my future, present and past Who are you to infringe your values upon me, I've learned the hard way Stepping on my toes, you've put my back to the wall, my back to the wall I've been told a thousand times to give respect when due Why do you find it so hard to believe I've got none for you It's my heart and my mind that I'll always follow, I will not break Nor will my balls, although that I've seen that you've tried before Why are people fake ? Chorus: Maybe you're older, wiser in your own right, it's your mistake I'm gonna do my own thing regardless, my choice to make I am real, in touch with my feelings, and I know my place You have shown, on the other hand, both sides of your face I see the world in a different light Things no always black and white Through all these years still, to this day My hardened eyes see only shades of grey I would never try and tell you what was right from wrong Maybe that's why you feel that I don't belong Always put me down for things I've said and done Can't you see it's a war that can't be won Lead A war that can't be won Living in your world seems so clear on concise Shutting out reality makes everything so nice Paint a pretty picture black and white everyday See my tattered canvass bleeding shades of grey Chorus 4: Business I'm fed up, I'va had it up to here Tell me what is good for me and my career Fuck you and your selfish advice You've never been loyal to the same things twice In your sheltered little lives, you don't know the scene Doing as you're told, puppets of the big machine Changing faces, revolving door hypocrisy Who do you work for now, yeah, I see Chorus I: Music's for you and me Not the fucking industry You fucking tell us what is cool You see we come from different schools You got no crowd but you got a big push Kissing asses till your pride turns inti mush You might change your style for the record company Fingers down your throat, you heave your integrity You're weak, give it up, throw the towel and the flag in And get your pussy ass off the motherfuckin' bandwagon Never for a minute were you real in the first place So far up someone's ass you got shit on your face Chorus II: Music's for you and me Not the fucking industry You fucking tell us what is cool You see we come from different schools To us it matters what you say Not the fucking games you play You're full of shit, it's plain to see The whole damn fucking industry If you think for a minute this song's about you Step the fuck back, cuz it's probably true The message in the music is the reason that we're in this That's what matters to us, not business Music is for you and me, not the fucking industry Try to tell us what is cool, we come from different schools It only matters what you say, not the fuckin' games you play Full of shit, it's plain to see, the whole damn fuckin' industry Chorus II 5: Black And White And Red All Over Fascism, the epitome of ignorance Listen up, I'll give you a for instance People go hating for the color of skin Won't they learn they'll never win Play into the hands of the media vultures We must learn to unite our cultures Violence constantly tears us apart Show the world that we've got heart Chorus: Blood is spilled on black and white Different colors, why do we fight Face the facts, stone cold sober Black and white and red all over Thousands die and kill each other Someone rapes and stabs their mother I think it's sick to count the death toll On and on the media rolls Drive by shootings, homicide Nobody cares about the mother who cried A family's grief stepped on by ratings Understand why I keep hating It makes no sense for us to be pawns In the chess game that the media plays If the streets are where you run There you die, why ? Find yourself a way out Black and white and red all over Ruling out the positive and any hope for peace This will only kill the moral, paper sales increase This shit has got to cease Black and white and red all over Believe half of what you read and half of wath you see Put two and two together and you'll have reality Can't you see my reality ? Chorus Turn on the TV and what do I see Killing, murder and blasphemy Rape, arson, robberies People die of incurable disease Crashes, bashes, people on crack Scandal, war and heart attack Always strife in the middle fucking east If war sell papers why don't peace 6: Man With A Promise A man with a promise smashes down my door He sees a future with me, he's gonna give me more "Give all your trust, I'm sure you won't regret Just sign the dotted lind, and I'll do so the rest" He says I can't make it alone, not without him But I've always been on my own, he doesn't know who I am And now I'm starting to see just what you are to me Pre-chorus I: You feed off the art that I bleed You're a man with a promise but you ain't shit to me A man broke his promise and he wants reparations He sold me up the river, caused me grief and frustration I gave him all my trust and got stabbed in the back A lucky motherfucker that he hasn't yet been whacked You ain't no fuckin' artist, spend your life exploiting others Try all you want, you can't break me or my brothers A business man vulture, no honor, no class Take your money and your lawyers and shove'em up your ass Pre-chorus II: You feed off the art that I bleed Numbers to you is just pain to me Chorus: Now the tables are turned Can't you see motherfucker that you'vre been burned Your a man with a promise but you ain't shit to me You ain't shit to me Lead Pre-chorus II Chorus 7: Disease I found a way out, a solution inside From the things that are bothering me It's been too long since I felt this way From your sad life I broke free Don't ever think that you ripped me apart And walked away with a piece Cause you can not penetrate my cold heart And fill it with your disease I wonder now how I lived before Deaf, dumb, dead and blind I moved my life forward and I'm never goin' back And I've left you far behind There's a lot of things that I've now realized From the way that you treated me It's bullshit and it's hatred you epitomized You were blessed to have been with me Chorus: You filled my life with your disease I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees Disease is flowing through my veins I'd rather die right now than live in pain Lead Looking around at the past and the present Things are so much better now Your misery wanted my company But you can't keep a good man down Whatever made me want to be with you Is something I can't understand Cuz if I never saw your fucking face again I'd die a happy man Chorus 2x 8: Urban Discipline Growing up I've seen a lot of shit in my time I've seen hunger, hunger, pleasure, pain, violence and crime I have learned from the mistakes of my friends that have died And from those who have gone down in life that just never tried Life is just too short I realize that now I'm gonna get my shit together and I try to make it some how Cause one thing that I have learned is that you only live once So now I'll take life by the balls and squeeze until they crunch Knowledge of the streets, a valuable tool Type of education you can't get in school Many hard times, losing friends, getting burned nobody to teach me, I just learned A man like clay molded by his surroundings He starts to take shape of the beating and the pounding Assembly line that I've been through A hard motherfucker with a bad attitude Maybe its just the times we live in Maybe its just urban discipline The way of urban life are not as they seem Standing up and fighting is what living here means In order to survive you've fot to earn your respect The only lessons that you learn are from things that you regret Lead Verse II Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island and Queens Standing up and fighting is what living here means In order to survive you've fot to earn your respect The only lessons that you learn are from things that you regret 9: Loss Not even for a second when he woke up did he ask If today was gonna be his last A average day in th middle of a life Terminated by a sharp knifee Killing, spilling the liquid blood As his boyz found him lying face down in the mud You might say this song is in poor taste But I must discuss the waste Chorus I: Of lives of friends that I have lost Who pays the price, who pays the cost Can't cry, just anger till the end It burns inside to lodse a friend Walking thin lines, anything to cop a dime Labelled habitual, a loser three times Just fuckin' around, knuckles bloody to the bone Whatever, the future's unknown Unless you believe in predestination of fate The letter read termination It was fucked up I couldn't make out his face Through the blood, what a fucking waste Chorus I Chorus II: My friend was there until the end (my friend) Can never be replaced The pain that I taste (it's over) What a fucking waste Chorus I Cold blooded murder, suicide, another body laid to rest Untimely demise, homicide, my faith is put to the test Is therea god, sometimes I just can't believe My friend who is dead was shot and then robbed Something quite hard to conceive People dying everyday there's got to be a better way The losses blow my mind away, the stain of blood will always stay Like the memory of a friend who stood with me until the end The losses blow my mind away, the stain of blood will always stay Chorus I Lead It's not for me that I grieve, but for the families left berieved I question whether life is fair, I wonder if I even care We think we know what life is worth until they lower us beneath the earth Mother crying, forever hurt, my face like stone I shovel dirt Chorus II 10: Wrong Side Of The Tracks You're a fish out of water on the wrong side of the tracks Gather up the boys to come and take your back We stand all together against the opposed We'll die for our brethren, that we have chose On the wrong - side of the tracks On the wrong - side of the tracks Escalation, war in the streets Catch one sucker and he gets beat What you see is what you get Soft motherfuckers will soon meet their end On the wrong - side of the tracks On the wrong - side of the tracks And when you're in fuckin' Brooklyn You best watch your back ! It took you damn long To hear me sing this song Cuz I'm the motherfucker from the wrong Side of the tracks Yo ! Hey I'm from around the way You'd better not stay on the wrong Side of the tracks Ducking from the 5-0 Didn't know where to go Never should've stepped on the wrong Side of the tracks Hey ! Yo cuz I'm good to go I gotta get back from the wrong Side of the tracks Chorus: Across the tracks No one thakes your back Across the tracks The boys in the gang Want to dee me hang Well I had my bells rang on the wrong Side of the tracks Strapped, abroken pact Caught in a trap on the wrong Side of the tracks Wrong or right, I had to fight I ran for daylight to the right Side of the tracks A lesson to learn When the tables are turned You might get burned on the wrong Side of the tracks Lead Chorus 11: Mistaken Identity Looking through these bars and wondering why I'm here Accused of a crime I did not commit and the police make nothing clear Stripped of my rights by the words of another Locked in a cell with my victimized brothers In this country, the land of the free I'm an innocent man arrested guilty I stand accused, innocent of the crime Not yet been sentenced but I'm already doing time Chorus: Mistaken identity, handcuffed face down Mistaken identity, my freedom gagged and bound Surrounded by convicted felons, locked down in this cell What did I ever do to earn this living hell Busted by cops in need of a collar Eating donuts four to twelve to earn their dollar In this country, the land of the free I am an innocent man arrested guilty The criminal justice system plagued with dishonesty They should judge themselves instead of crucifying me Chorus A pussy power trip to throw me in the joint I feel sorry for you because you're nissing the point You picked the wrong motherfucker and followed it through Let the hammer of injustice fall on you Lead You have the right to remain silent Was bullshit the he said Put your hands where I can see them Make one move and you're dead Chorus To fill a quota and treat my life Like a number or a statistic make once innocent youth outraged Angry and ballistic Chorus 2x 12: We're Only Donna Die (From Our Own Arrogance) Early man walked away as modern man took control Their minds weren't quite the same, to conquer was his goal So he built his great empire and slaughtered his own kind Then he died a confused man, killed himself with his own mind We're only gonna die From our own arrogance 13: Tears Of Blood I sit and pick my brain each night With an axe in my hand held tight Bite my nose to spite my face Killing myself, I can't escape the rat race Wallowing in neck-deep misery Quicksand dissent, pressure free Deepest wounds are self inflicted Should I hope to be vindicted Always alone, society's abortion Self mutilation, the daily portion Resentful past breeds hopeful future With tears of blood, I remove the sutures Dying inside, emotions they hide Irreperable damage from the tears the I've cried I climb from the sewer, the years that I have spent Self mutilation or my environment Chorus 2x: Tears of blood Tears of blood I cry I cry Tears of blood Tears of blood I die Deny myself for fear of being Is it over now, has my heart stopped beating Lying here just self defeating My mind is empty, it won't stop bleeding Twisted anger screams my brain Over the edge, I hang in pain Mouth locked shut my mind won't swallow With tears of blood, alone I wallow No one to blame except myself What you call masochism I call wealth Maybe its just a matter of pride Too sweet to end with suicide Peel the scab, pour salt in the wound Torturing myself, I'm forever doomed Looking east and west each and every moon A peaceful rest comes someday soon No one to blame except myself What you call masochism I call wealth Is death life and do we live in hell ?

You're fuckin' dead 'cause it's like that Society, pushed him down and out Soul provider what's it all about Religion, faith can we do without Social pressure we're too strung out Another bad hand the cards have been dealt Kid of fourteen, high aspirations held To get ahead and run shit with his powerful will Told by his role model, you're old enough to kill See my ride, my bitches and my loot If ya wanna survive be prepared to shoot Stay hard like me, you're bound to do well A waste of precious life, twenty five and an L I'll put a bullet in your head for the colour of your skin This is my neighborhood who the fuck let you in I'll stick with mine stay with your own kind The virus of hate infects the ignorant mind 5: How it is look into the yes of a madman You can see it in his face, he's a weak and sad man Staring straight ahead, his eyes set like stone With a nine millimeter cocked at your dome No way out, it's too late 'cause you're already in it So what'cha gonna do you'll be dead in a minute Thinking slow will get you nowhere fast A young life terminated with one short blast You live like that, you die like this That 's how it is Livin' with regret is no way to live That's how it is You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss That's how it is kid How it is That's what you get for Living like this With a bullet in your head - you're dead, you can't miss Ain't no time for regret when you're body is in a bag Ain't no time to change your mind when your head begins to sag Should've known better, ain't working for you now Maybe if you'd know better you'd be here somehow So change your ways before you ways change you With a hole in your head that you can see through You're looking up and you're looking down Shot's are rippin' out from all around You're crying out for help but it can't be found The voice of regret is the only sound You play the game and you pay the price For hustlin' in the gutter with the motherfuckin' street lice You're runnin' and gunnin' and whatever else goes And you're goin' with your crew whichever way the wind blows "cause you got their back and they got yours And you live for yourself and you make your own laws But sooner or later what goes around comes around You wind up dead and buried in hard, cold ground 6: Remember Here's a dedication To the men and women who've served in Vietnam From our generation to you and your family... Respect is long overdue Memories of blood, red, white, blue Orange skies at night, southeast Asia knew You were called to serve and you did it well For us you've made a round-trip through hell Wars within wars, within wars To survive you made your own laws Every day and night to stay alive You kept your head down and your powder dry Memories of families It's God i've known Take me home Now you live asking God why He didn't take you when your brothers all died Explosions shake the dreams in your head at night in bed Don't wake him up or you'll end up dead Try to understand his pain He still sees blood stains that remain In his heart and mind, try to numb the pain People think they understand Sat watching TV back on quiet land They spit on you now we'll spit back for you Our hearts, our voice, gift of our hands What can they do for you and those who served And died, we pay respect to the families Who still cry Your kids are now full grown With the love and pride you should have known Back when your country brought you home Still now you fight the tears and face your fears each day But the horrors of fact won't go away For 2300 MIA's or POW's to this day We remember and pray for you 7: Five blocks to the subway Walkin' five blocks every day to earn my keep It ain't easy when you're walkin' on these streets Runnin' on a tightrope it's a real thin line Thinkin' that you might die this time Some things will never change, a street education So close yet so far, just a block from the station Standin' on the corner, I might get taken out Five blocks to the subway, just five blocks away Five blocks to the subway, I can do that any day There's a local wise guy he owns the whole damn block It's easy doin' business when you're payin' off the cops Makin' money pushin' drugs wouldn't stop if he could Killin' kids in his own damn neighborhood Watch out for muggers and the pickpockets beware You get to play these games when you pay transit fare Trials and tribulations, a journey made each day This is my reality,the hardest game to play Standin' on the platform and I'm waiting for the train Good thing I'm underground, now it's startin' to rain Always stand alone, hold the wall up with my back Or else you might get pushed on to the tracks 8: Each day Each day I have another choice too To try and make things right I awake from the nightmare Another day closer to the grave With a personal affair And my fright is in moderation It just might be the death of me I am aware I'm not worried about tomorrow Don't give a fuck about yesterday To get through this day of sorrow I must face what comes my way (each day) Each day I need some kind of release To pull the trigger on my soul and Breathe through the bullet hole I need some peace Before I am deceased I want to see my world in its Negative state became a positive Place my unleashing all the hate within I'm not worried about tomorrow Don't give a fuck about yesterday To get through this day of sorrow I must face what comes my way (each day) 9: Failed territory Inner city strugglin', motherfuckin' rat race Condemned pressure cooker, that explodes in your face Another neighborhood gets destroyed by the drug deal Staking a claim on an estate that is real Pay the mob's price for your own protection Half a wise guy makes the wrong connections Flooding our streets with your wanna be bullshit Who whacks who, don't matter who gets hit The space between the death of our friends is so close This month it was neglect, our boy died of an overdose Last month a gunshot, a typical story That's just the way it goes in a failed territory No hope, just dope, and your chances are slim To grow up and get out 'cause you're already in The vacuum of the street so powerful Sucking you in it drains your mind by the hour fool Still smoking dippers our friends are all dusted Slave to a bottle of juice, fucking disgusted Can't you see the neighborhood's black hole And the odds are that we'll never grow old Young guns scam running on a get ahead quick tip With your pretty ass crimes, you're on a blind road trip Day to day death, wish we all carry inside Welcome to your suicide So you call yourself a part of the avenue crew Living here doesn't offer much else to do But get into beef and take each other's back Kid of eighteen, broke his skull with a bat Always changing with the trends like a fucking chameleon Live for yourself 'cause you're one in a million A rebel 'cause you weren't born into wealth But the only thing holding you down is yourself On the road we get phone calls breaking our hearts When they find someone we love in the trunk of a car Nothing you can do. Just another sad story Wake up, break out An epitaph from your own self doubt 10: Lack there of Lack of trust, all alone Lookin' down at the bottom of a hole I've no trust, bare my soul Are we alone or do we have friends Or are we just searchin' for a means to an end What up, peace out, my boys and all that But as soon as we leave they talk behind our backs Low selfimage of the way things are Either way we lose and we can never go far 'Cause always we'll wonder as to just what's the deal It just depends on what you feel is real Perception is everything inside our brains With much bigger problems, no time for games Of people acting down but it's just a facade Can't say it to my face, isn't that odd Just what exactly does trust mean Is it about being down with the scene Or is it about following your own true heart And being true to your friends to the end from the start Just what is wealth it's just how you view it It's not having to wonder whether or not you might lose it It can't be about material gain If you're drowning alone neck deep in pain To trust and lay your soul on the line May not be the nature of most humankind Lookin' over your shoulder is no way to go So stick with true friends and do without the doubt 11: Pride You don't care about Self doubt coming out from inside out Knock you down, across town all around the underground Shooting and disputing you're always persecuting With your attitude and fucked up views tattooed, rude and crude Denying, glorifying your way of life while crucifying Close your eyes for the ride while you glorify your false pride In any case you're blue in the face 'cause you lost your place in the human race That pushed you to do what you do so fuck you and your point of view I used to doubt myself because I lived without What I needed inside My pride, comes from inside Nothing to hide enough tears cried My pride won't be denied Moan and groan and chew the bone about the zone you call your own Grow your own backbone hold your own and stand alone Why pretend and be content with all the hate you hold innate Pull your weight, it ain't too late to recreate your inner state Discontent with time ill spent time has come and time has went Now you vent while you torment why resent ? misrepresent The scene between the lean and mean serene, extreme, the American dream Live alive revive and thrive on life deprived as I survive I'm fuckin' pissed off I used to be so angry I'd disagree with anything that went against inside me But things have changed I've rearranged in exchange for all the pain I kept inside and tried to hide denied and lied, but kept my pride By my side in good supply all the while, hostile And senile, I never smiled at anyone but now I'm done A battle won for number one so look and see and you'll agree I live life free, I now know me I am a man who knows he can I know I can, I take my stand 12: Human animal The monster of hate overcomes rational thought Fast fuse burning the lessons I've been taught It's just too late to remember who I am The things that I believe in and the way that I stand About peace, harmony, respect for fellow man All that shit just got thrown against the fan In my violent rage, they say that I am a criminal There ain't no labels within the human animal In this world of bigotry and pain The violence spreads and terror reigns The opinions in our minds replace our souls As the human animal takes control The path of self-destruction has brought me to this point As modern day society cracks arthritic joints No mercy is shown, it's hitting all my weak spots I never had a gun, but now I wanna hear gun shots I sleep not for fear, I get no rest Twisted in a sense, 'cause my button has been pressed How many ways have you shown me that you hate me And then you wonder why what have you done to me lately I am an animal The human animal A human animal Tension building, I'm being pushed too far I need a release, take the lid of this jar My voice seems useless in this situation Time to take action, release frustration Everyone has limits, only so much you can take Antagonizing pressure is the icing on the cake Physical abuse, induced or subliminal Open the door, unleash the human animal Flashes of red my vision of distortion Like a virus, it spreads, giving each his portion Contagious psychopath, the vibe is in synch Movin' like a pack, we're back to basic instincts Wild at heart, now we show our true colors In the path of desperation, we forget about our brothers Who would die for us, now, we die for no man Deranged from the instance, violence came too hard Instinctual behavior in the given situation Leaves us with no call for rationalization 13: Cornered Sometimes I feel it's a waste of time To listen to your shouting a wordless pantomime Can't you see it falls on deaf ears Filling me up with your point of view Your opinions are your own, I got mine too What I think don't mean nothing to you When the shit hits the fan And you're forced by the man Who holds the key to our promised land Don't misunderstand what's in the man's hand 'Cause it's all been laid out in the New World Plan Makin' me feel like a laboratory rat Without a mind of its own - diseased and fat I can't let my life go out like that 'Cause I'm an extra skeptic, a true eclectic I find it hard to trust all the people we've elected Take a look around, do you feel protected Like garbage in a dump our lives have been rejected A blind man leading the not so blind Creating false truth to fill our minds To listen to yourself would be a crime It all comes back to you some time Like it or not, they got a number on me I will not break for your demands Rabid, defensive, in the corner I stand Caught in a trap, the bait was free Like it or not, they got a number on me I can't trust anyone, they're all out to get me Gonna run until I can't run from the laws that ruin me Faster and harder so God help me flee From the lies that we're free and the powers that be That push the rich forward between you and me But agree to agree with no guarantee Of something to live for I'll die if need be I stand up for all as I fight to be free 14: Love denied A child is told from day number one He's a worthless piece of shit, bad and dumb Generations pass down low self self esteem We're molded by things we've heard and seen Or punched in the mouth for being unsure Or locked behind the closet door We learn what we live, we live what we learn Abuse of innocence to evil we turn Can anybody hear their cries Can anybody tell them why You gotta read between the lies People die when love is denied One of many lessons i learned to be like You ain't gonna live like you You made me what I am today So close to you, yet so far away The pain you lived with made you ill An empty hole with nothing to fill I forgive and love you forever still A waste of time, a waste of life Livin' on the edge of a sharp fuckun' knife I can't blame you for never being around I know you never meant to hurt and bring me down Look in their eyes to hear their cries And you will see all their pain lying dormant inside Now realize as time passes by That people die when love is denied
