1: Authority
Monday yawning school's so boring
Or go to work like a jerk and end up snoring
Tuesday's mail never fails
Collection agency wants me in jail
Wednesday's rules got me ignoring - deploring
My tensions roaring
Thursday - same shit different day
But these motherfucking rules
Will never ever go away
Fuck the rules...fuck fuck the rules
Friday night gonna be out of sight
If you are 21 they say drinking might be fun
On Saturday bible says seventh day, the day of rest
So have it your way
Go for a ride keep it under 55
Respect the badge, don't drink and drive
On Sunday gotta survive these fascist fools
Take your freedom back from the bullshit rules
Call me paranoid, call me what you will
I gotta fucking feeling something big is going down
Call me paranoid, call me what you will
I gotta fucking feeling something big is going down
Fuck the rules...fuck fuck the rules
Fuck the rules...fuck fuck the rules
2: These Eyes (Have Seen)
So many things these eyes have seen
People I've met and places I've been
Inconceivable how one maintains in the same
With the pain and the strain of the brain
How reality's plane can wear you down
And make you an insane man who only frowns
City hardened and cold just like me
Anger has numbed my eyes from all they see
Like a workingman's skin as it turns to leather
The mind of the youth is forced to weather
An assault on his senses by his parents and peers
That preys on innocence , weakness and fears
Manifestation of rage runs deep
Over the edge of sanity, thoughts creep
Violent reaction, bitter and mean
A product of what these eyes have seen
These eyes have seen inhuman sights
I hold my breath with all my might
Like anyone else in our own hells
It seems obscene the things I've seen
Lost count of how many wakes were attended
Mind and body never quite mended
Do you think this is what life intended?
At fourteen your life has ended
Maybe your spirit is battered and broken
From shit you've seen and words that were spoken
Death, violence, drugs all around
These eyes have seen some shit go down
3: Stigmatized
Emptiness slips into my mind
Emotion so fucking hard to find
I center myself in this universe
With peace amongst all the pains and hurts
I think of all the things that I would've been
And the time I could've spent with him
But again comes sadness creeping in
Taken by surprise - stigmatized -
By the things I've seen with my own eyes
Traumatized until I realized
That I gotta go on with my life
I can only guess what I've should've done then
Wandering alone on the path I've chosen
Lumbering alone towards inevitable fate
I await an answer, I wrestle with hate
I question your life and the choices you made
I question myself with righteousness and rage
Confused and sick from mistakes I've made
Questions to ponder about letting go
Answers I find towards peaceful flow
People take shit for granted as given
Not in this world that I live in
In my eyes I realize no more lies - stigmatized
4: Control
On your knees before they mighty them
Receive communion once again
Obey and follow strict laws to the letter
Do as you're told and life will be better
Go with the flow, avoid the strife
Let unknown powers rule your life
A box of glass dictates your death
Stolen minds innocence last breath
On your knees pray for the one you appease
Whatever happened to the good old days
No mental smokescreen
Subliminal haze
Corporate society prints out your thoughts
Spirituality sold and bought
Now your life is all dictated
All your stood for, all you hated
Establishment prevails again
On your knees before they mighty them
Look in my eyes and you will find
Another way to get through your life
Stare at my face, make up your mind
And you will find love at first sight
Connect your soul now, get online
Mind control taking your life
Try not to look 'cause you might turn to stone
How much time do you really think on your own?
Just trying to be yourself don't wanna be like no one else
It was something that was once pure
And the truth was meant to endure
Gotta find out who's to blame
Gotta end this mind control game
5: Cleansing
The dirt's so thick it won't come clean
All around a haze like a smoke screen
I can't see you but you see me
But I might be gone before you count to three
The waters are totally polluted
The army inside my head have feuded
One side has smothered the other
The disease it spreads and begins to cover
Maggot-infested soul of mine
Has painted me in a corner confined
My vision is blurred no reason or rhyme
Help me escape these walls I climb
I'm drowning in my own shit
Gasping, gagging on the vomit asphyxiated
Grasping for a grip on the soap with the rope
So I can get clean and begin to cope
Scrub me 'til I'm raw
An open sore oozing
Unless I'm clean I might start losing
My mind and my life would have a fucked up ending
Thank God if you ever seen cleansing
Sewn my eyes shut, can't you see I'm smothered?
Deaf, dumb and blind
The dirt has covered the windows
Which let the light shine through
Cleansing of the soul for I am you
The last time I slept I dreamt
My friend and I we got so high
On top of the mountains, deep in the sky
Way up high where the white goes by
The air is thin and hard to breathe
But with a friend near by your side
You can conquer the world or wander around all starry-eyed
I laid there and dreamt along for a ride
I took in the journey, my friend beside
It all seemed so real, it all seemed surreal
My friend and I were one deep inside
These dreams come and go and are never the same
I await new journeys-asleep I remain
When I hold my eyes shut tight I dream
When I dream at night through my dreams I scream
Why do people have to go and fucking change?
What pushed my friend to tap the vein?
Asleep at night I visit my friend
Asleep at night I miss my friend
6: Competition
We used to be part of the same thing
But now you make strides for the gold ring
You make our sacred ground into a slaughterhouse
You used to look me in the eye but now you look me up and down
Competition always looking out for self
Indecision and then your friendship fell
No religion, no ethics in your ways
Step up for the crew to represent
But what do you stand for?
You only resent
It was all for one but now you blew it
I know you're not down
And I can see right through it
What you give is what you get
And I know it's not respect
What you give is what you get
Jealous ways you'll soon regret
7: Modern Democracy
As I look up in the sky
I wonder why
My momma always cried
Was it for how fast we lived and died?
Or because we never got out piece of the pie?
Busting at the seams, the American dream,
Like meth said cream
Boulevard of broken dreams
Parents with good intentions
Never mention
The Brooklyn house of detention
Free to fly and free to try
To get our peace before we die
Free to fly and free to try
To get our piece of the pie and die
Locking us down
We got cops all around
The sound of sirens
Drown your own heart's pound
But you only wanted a piece of the pie
And in your mind's eye momma's still gonna cry
No matter how hard you tried whether it's truth or lies
On the day that you die
But we're free to fly and free to try
To get our piece of the pie and die
Freedom, liberty, the KKK
Modern democracy
We have no say
American dream
The American way
Land of the free
Home of the slave
8: Better Days
Times are changing , things come and go
Things are getting worse-the earth a black hole
I say to myself, will this shit ever change?
Will it ever improve or will it stay the same?
It's plain to me that things are amiss
Because I've seen better days than this
How could we let it get as bad as it is?
Because I've seen better days than this
It's plain to me that things are amiss
Famine and war, hate and disgrace
Incest and murder, raping the rat race
I see no end to this suffering
Faith, hope and love are burnt offerings
Decline and fall of modern man
Our fate is sealed by our own hand
Time spinning onward- we're regressing fast
Signs of the times say these days might be our last
Better days are gone forever I fear
Our hate dictates our fate
Apocalypse is here
9: Gravity
I feel a weight that's pulling me down
But my reflex is to try to break out
Nature gives fight or flight syndrome
But my feet stay on the ground
That's how I've grown
Bred to resist the gravity of anything that's fucking with me
Survivalist instincts through my veins are pounding
Transfused at birth by my urban surroundings
Gravity won't allow me to fly, it pulls me down, the pain, I won't cry
Resistance and drive fueled by hunger
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
I just can't let shit get to me
Got to reflect back on what pop taught me
To be your own man no matter what
To never back down and follow your gut
Instinct, something he said that I'd know
Something that I'd carry wherever I go
He told me someday I'd have to fight to be free
And resist the weight of gravity
Calloused hands wipe away tears
Of the pain of a man broken by years
A silent shot that nobody hears
A smoking gun of our own fears
My father worked all his life and for what
Day in day out caught in a rut
The pain of apathy, razor-sharp cutting
But I'll make sure he doesn't die for nothing
10: A Lot To Learn
You walk around always screaming about how you're trying to get your way
But you should just keep your fucking fat mouth shut
If you got nothing important to say
Because you... you got a lot to learn
All you do is bitch about the things in life that get you down
You never care for nobody else if you saw how your life loons to me
I think you'd be ashamed of yourself
You live inside your fucked-up world, talking loud with nothing to say
You got a lot to learn about your life because you can't keep on living this way
Because you.... You got a lot to learn
11: Waiting To Die
Drug infested, narcotic, electric
Schizophrenic, murdered arrested
A child molested, a race detested
A building burnt down, insurance invested
Homelessness lingers all around
Rape, death, sickness, homeward bound
Unemployed, no love, no joy
Cut down to size
A life destroyed, war, no peace
Death, tragedy, no cure, disease
AIDS, leprosy, a veteran dead below the knee
Eyes burn in your head, you cannot see
Spending all my time just standing in line
And I'm waiting to die
Watching every day of my life go by,
Just waiting, waiting to die
Children beaten, poisons eaten
Look at the world, we're self defeating
Reputed, undisputedly polluted
Crack heads with guns ain't afraid to shoot it
Countries fighting for oil and gold
While the hole in the ozone layer's out of control
Brother kills brother in a world full of hate
Too fucking late - our heads on a plate
Nature's dying, children crying
Human race ass in a fucking pan frying
With no one to blame except ourselves
Greed transforms our earth into hell
Murder, Middle East assassination
Extermination, human termination
The war on drugs, humiliation
A ruined nation with no explanation
Something to hide - bound and gagged and tied
A gun in your hand at your head, suicide
It's censorship of my pure mind
No justice, no truce, no hope to find
12: A Way
The sun is shining, but I don't know if it'll shine again
The sky is clear now but the clouds wait overhead
The wind stopped blowing but I see the trees are flowing
The water's calm now - feel the undertow towing me down
Towing me down...
The sun's gone done now behind the dark clouds looming
The birds stop singing silence so soothing
Dark clouds open up, I hold my rain-soaked head
Thought are racing by I scream and I wish that I was dead
I wish that I was dead
Gotta find a way in this world to cope
Gotta find a place in this world with hope
Gotta find a way to keep my head straight
Another day I pray - to let go of hate
I break myself away from my mind
I search for inner peace I never find
13: True Strengths
The pain creeps in every day
And you're trying your best not to fell this way
Some days up and some days down
Swimming in misery, you're starting to drown
Looking for answers to impossible questions
Searching in your mind in new dimensions
Feeling so alone and you've been thinking
I'm better off dead that alone here sinking
Searching for the light and looking inside
To find out where your true strengths hide
Going on and on this pain has got to cease
Living like an animal full of disease
Further inspection- now you're looking inside
To find out where your true strength hide
You're looking around for some higher power
To get you through this darkest hour
All those years of pain are now coming trough
Those cracks in your mind are nothing new to you
You're starting to slip to a whole new level
The metal of a gun pressed against your temple
One in the chamber maybe one in your head
You can pull the trigger and your mind'll turn red
What about the things that you never did?
Getting straight, get a life, maybe having kids?
Is a moment's pleasure really worth the cost
Of looking back on your life and all the things you lost?
Don't know my future with my past behind
I'm now reborn- new hopes to find
Free from restraints that held me down
The cycle of hate that comes around
14: Thorn
I got this thorn in my side,
I try but I can't get it out
Been killing me for years gone by
A miserable, painful bout
No matter how hard and long I try to rip at it
It stays buried deep inside my side enduring every day
Thorn - in my side
I've picked the scab, a trying way
A painful means to amend
Rid myself from the anguish
Torment that I must end
I've lived this way for years
But now I gotta move on
An oozing sore needs tending
To just like the thorn I adorn
Misused, abused, accused, confused
I'm sick and tired of backwards views
My soul's too tired all black and bruised
15: In Vain
Feel the warmth of the flame as it burns inside
Burning high and higher, pressure starts to climb
Turning passion into sweat, Jekyll into Hyde
Glossy eyed, unsatisfied, I can't help but deny
As my love gets set aside...
As my love gets set aside
Magnified by hate inside
Face down upon the ground
Looking down at her
You start to frown, thinking to yourself
Am I insane to do the things I do to her in vain?
Woman beater with your hands wrapped around her neck
Deranged, demented, a psycho-social wreck
Your self-denial, hatred got to keep it in check
You rape for love and you kill for respect
