CTYC (RIP)

I still can't believe till this day
That he's gone - passed away
His life was taken in the
Blink of an eye
All I can ask myself is 'why'

Cold as life harder than you
That's how he's remembered
In everyone's view
That's how he'd want it
That's how we want it too
Cold as life, colder than you

He was not an angel and that we know
But he had a heart, he was our bro
His life was taken in the
Blink of an eye
All I can ask myself is 'why'

D.I.F.M.M.

[spoken]
this song goes out to all the kids out there who are keeping it real and turning their backs on any hardcore bands that make any money.
fuck that man.
hardcore isnt about money,
its a way of life.
sure i live with my mom right now,
but id live on the streets if i had to.
and i know deep in my heart,
that one day, i'll go to college,
get a real job,
and forget all about hardcore.
but until then im gonna talk as much shit as i can.
diy!
[sung]
d.i.f.f.m. fuck you!
d.i.f.f.m. fuck you!
d.i.f.f.m. fuck you!
d.i.f.f.m. fuck you!
d.i.f.f.m. fuck you!

Darkest Days

You were the light in the darkness that I lived in full of redemption and sin
Even though I was surrounded by the best of friends
My future was looking dim
You gave me hope in a time when I lost control
About to lose my soul
You picked me up from the gutters that I once roamed
Helped my see what I now know
When I thought there was no one there for me
Your light shined on me
You gave me hope
You gave me all I need
You set me free
When I fought against myself, to be as good as I can be
You gave me strength; you gave me what I need
You`re everything to me
In the darkest of days you came into my life
It was full of so much strife
Self-destruction was the name of the game that I played
You reinforced the values that I had lost
At no price or cost
And even when I slipped into the darkness again
You fought to bring me back in
I hope you know what you mean to me
You mean everything
I hope you know that
I`d do anything for you , I mean anything
You made a man out of me
When I thought I knew it all
I knew nothing
You brought me hope in my darkest days
I love you more than anything
When I thought there was no one there for me
Your light shined on me
You gave me hope, you gave me all I need
You set me free
When I fought against myself to be as good as I could be
You gave me strength
You gave me all I need
You`re always there for me

Demonstrating My Style

Demonstrating my style
Lettin' it be known
Follow the path of no one else
It's all about being true to myself
I'll speak my mind, I won't keep it inside
The years pass and people change
But I'm stayin' true to my ways
Hardcore is my life, I'll carry the name
Demonstrating my style
Lettin' it be known
Demonstrating my style
We're not alone
Give respect where respect is due
To those who know what we've been through
We can all relate in our own way
To those who put us down, we won't see you around
Cause you're too scared of me
To those who've helped us out, you know what we're about
You'll get respect from me
Demonstrating my style

Done...

my memories of better days still stand in my way because no matter what i say i still play your game.
the frustration of wanting things that you cant see.
and its hurting you but its killing me,
its feeding my disbelief.
and i take back all that ive done.
i cant take back, whats done is done.
ive seen the pain in your face,
the pain in your eyes.
its no surprise to me,
i see what ive done wrong.
no sense in holdin on,
now standin side by side,
i hope i tried.
i realize its the end of our time,
the end of our lives together.
now theres no words left for me to say cuz i know that things wont change.
and theres nothin left to rearrange,
all thats left is the memory.
i cant take back all that ive done.
and theres nothin left for me to say because whats done is done

Down By Law

You wake up every morning
In this living hell
Not knowing that
You're worst enemy is me
You never know what can happen
Within this cell
Betrayal is what I feel
Revenge is what I seek

No hesitation, no turning back
I gotta do it, I have no choice
Gotta do what I
Gotta do for the crew
Down by law
What you did I can't
Forgive my so called brother
I can't let my feelings
get in the way

Why you turn your back
On the crew
We always had your back
We'd die for you
You ratted on your boy
Something you never do
Now his life is over
And yours is too

Down by law
We made a promise to eachother
A promise that you choose to break
We stuck together no matter what
My brother
You turned you're back
And proved you're fake

Repeat 2nd verse

Down by law
You've left me no choise
The strenght of a gesture
A thought with no voice

Repeat chorus

The clock is ticking
You're time is up
Now's my chance, I gotta move fast
Our memories I put to rest
It's the law we chose to live by
You broke the fuckin' rules
You must die
Why

Everyday Hate

everyday i hate more and more cuz i know the truth.
its just a role you play and nothing more.
lifes a game to you.
but i live by another set of rules and i know just what it takes to prove.
that weak at heart is what youll always be.
your fake ass wont compete with me.
it must be hard to live in disgrace.
they know the truth and now who should you blame?
you have no fucking shame.
im the one so blame me.
everyday i hate i cannot relate.
youll never be a part of my scene.
youre just a sucka mc,
a fucking wanna be.
now come and throw joints with me

Face to Face

You say that you've been there
Think that you've seen it all
You keep frontin' like you know it all
You let ignorance set in and
Control your life
Runnin' your mouth into
Extreme heights
You chose to dis me and the crew
You played yourself like a fool
Showing pride's far
Beyond your might
Push came to shove
Now it's time to fight
Tell me how you're livin'
Face to face
Tell me how you're livin'
Is it in disgrace ?

Repeat 1st verse

Fall This Time

you better think quick,
act fast before its time you take another blast.
you better think about where you stand cuz it seems youre on the wrong path.
used to look down, talk down.
now you walk down the same path blown out.
youre foolin yourself, youre not proud.
so lean on me to come down.
choose youre own fate, but this aint mine.
youve fallen from grace,
i wont let you fall this time.
out back to back days sniffin gak,
now youre really on the wrong track.
do you really want to come back?
are you losing yourself and do you want that?
i fall this time.
its not a necessity,
its just a fantasy and its too much for me.
too much of anything is not a good thing.
fallen and now i plead.

For My Enemies

I've been waiting a long time to give you a piece of my mind.
You can run but you can't hide from who you are inside
and you don't want to confront me.
No! I know your kind.
You've been runnin the same old lies
and keelin over on your mines.
you'll see it's all in a matter of time, you're gonna hafta confront me.

cause we're all in this game,
we don't believe loyalty comes for free.
you only get respect when it's given out.

make no mistake you're the enemy.
make no mistake, you are my enemy.

still here after many hard years.
when will you realize, you can't kill what won't die?
cause they've tried but the strong survive.
I'm only tellin you one time.
still livin a lie, you've been cryin the words of gettin tired.
how can talk with that closed mind?
you pass judgement, you cross the line
you will never confront me.

cause we're all in this game,
we don't believe loyalty comes for free.
you only get respect when it's given out.

make no mistake you're the enemy.
make no mistake
Check it.

think I will back down?
you don't know me
i never back off,
cause you're my enemy.
