"Die Young"
 
Maybe this is out of line but I envy the dead sometimes.
It's hard to say cause I've had close friends that passed away.
But they never have to feel again.
They never have to be in pain.
They never have to struggled just to be denied.
Maybe I'm the one who's cursed,
condemned to walk the Earth,
to grow old and lose my grip on everything that's close to me.
But I don't know.
I'm just thinking.
The more you know the less you know.
I'll find out eventually.
I hope it's not to late for me.

I've never been a lucky one.
I was born face down, a forgotten son.
I've never been a lucky one
Cause if we were lucky,
We would all die young.

You can rest in peace or live in violence.
Conflict, disease, this world don't make no sense.
When you come from the bottom, life's a joke.
All your hopes and dreams go up in smoke.
It makes me wonder what's the better day,
the day you're born or when you go away.
Lately, I've been thinking about this loveless world
and all the evil shit I've done and all the times that I've been wrong.
I've never met a righteous face.
Heaven must be an empty place or else it's full of people life me.
I guess I'll have to wait and see

"Fighting In The Streets"
 
I started throwing down when I was only three.
My dad knew how to fight and he passed it on to me.
I practiced with my brothers then we took it to the block.
I went to school and found the bully,
cleaned his fucking clock.
My mother got so angry.
She tried to raise us right.
No matter what she did to me I always loved to fight.
Seneca kicked my ass down on 4th and Wallace St.
You'd think I learned my lesson but I fought him in a week.

Win or lose, it's no different.
I guess I love the energy.
I can hear my mother calling.
"Come and get you boys cause they're fighting in the street!"

I've made some friends across the years and a couple enemies.
I'm d own with LBU my family across the sea.
I'm not the greatest fighter and I haven't won them all
but I still can see my fathers face and hear my mother call.
I drove through my old neighborhood trying to reminisce
about the places that I've been and faces that I miss.
I've learned about forgiveness and a little self-control,
but if it's time to rumble fuck that shit it's time to fucking go

"Too Far Gone"
 
Some people trade life for the bottom of a whiskey bottle.
Too far gone, can't get it back now.
Some people love the pills.
They'll eat an entire bottle.
If that don't work, they'll cut their wrists off.
Some people love whores.
They'll spend every fucking dollar.
Go home empty,not an ounce of self-respect.
Happiness must be a dream.
I know it ain't material.
I've seen men search the world but die alone in the end.
So fucking alone.

No woman, no wine, no pills can cure this fucking disease.
It's in my brain.
No matter what I do, I can't get it out my head.
Years of memories flood my brain.
I just wanna sever these fucking veins
so I can sleep forever never coming back no more.

Too far gone.
Too far gone.
Too far gone.
Too far gone can't get it back

"Get To Steppin'"
 
She said she's in love with me.
She's got a funny way of making me happy.
She drives me out of my mind but she pushed me to the edge for the last time.

My baby said she loved me.
My baby said she cared.
But she lied and tried to hide it so I kicked that bitch right outta my hair.

She said she could n ever leave and God knows why I believed her.
I found out she was fuckin' around so I kicked her cheating ass right out the door.

My baby said she loved me.
My baby said she cared.
But she lied and tried to hide it so I kicked that bitch right outta my hair.

She said she's in love with me,
She's got a funny way of making me happy.
She lied and she tried to hide it so fuck that bitch cause I don't care.
She says she's in love with me.
GET TO STEPPIN'

"Out Of Season"
 
I saw my mother so I asked her,
"What's the end for your fuckin' bastard?"
I lost it long ago and that's what I am.
No happy ever after.
I'm gonna hang from a fuckin' rafter
and swing to the beat of my cold dead heart. Oh yeah.

What became of your only daughter?
What became of all your sons?
You let them leave without a reason.
And now you're left with nothing but the same of an empty home.
The tree of love is out season.

I saw my brother so I asked him,
"Do you think about the past and does it keep you up at night like you're all alone?"
He said, "Man, I shed some tears and all I got was wasted years
so fuck the world and all the bullshit that's in it."

I try not think about it cause it only brings me down
but on a day like this it's the only thing on my mind.
I don't want sympathy.
I don't you to agree.
I justs wanna smash the system that fucked it up for me

"Time To Play"
 
When I fight, I fight alone
And I don't run cause there's nothing to run from.
When I'm out I stay with my boys.
We our thing and we try to have a good time.
When I work I work alone and when I get home I call my friends.
Have some fun and try to make up for the hard times.
When they over the hard times end.

12 hours a day and I wanna go home.
Working all day now it's time to play

"Smash Your Face"
 
You're hawking me from across the room.
I pray to God that you make a move.
I see it in your face.
You're not ready and I don't think you're ever gonna be.
Motherfucker, I'll break your whole shit.
I'll fill up your mouth with teeth and bloody spit.
I'll kick you in the stomach.
I'll kick you in the knee.
Do yourself a favor, walk away from me.
What's the matter?
Can't you speak?
Your voice is cracking and your knees are weak.
Next time you better think before you raise up and try to fuck around with me.

SMASH YOUR FACE
I'll punch you in the ribs.
SMASH YOUR FACE
I'll bust your fuckin' chin.
SMASH YOUR FACE
I'll split your fucking lip.
I'll smack you with a bottle like them London kids.
SMASH YOUR FACE
You should have saw it coming.
SMASH YOUR FACE
Now you're fucking done.

There's nothing you can do.
You never had a chance.
SMASH YOUR FACE
You never had a chance

"Nothing Like You"
 
I've been shunned since day one never saw eye-to-eye
cause I'm nothing thinking like you. Yeah.
Maybe I'm fucked up but maybe you're fucked up too.
They tried to tell me I'm a bad seed
cause I'm not thinking like you but I made my mind up, I'm never gonna be like you.
I lost all faith in you a long time ago
cause I'm nothing thinking like you and I'll never trust your version of the truth.
I guess there's just no time for a guy like me cause I am nothing like you.
So keep an eye on the ones you love maybe I'll get them too.

Left out, out of the picture.
Locked down all my brothers and sisters.
Locked out, but I'm gonna get you.
I've been so long and I don't even miss you.

What's the point in getting close if I'm not thinking like you?
It's sad because I know you feel the same way too.
But I guess I've grown to expect this kind of shit from narrow people like you.
I've seen it a thousand times and it has cleared my view.
You took it all away from me as a punishment but I'm not thinking like you
so it backfired and now your worst nightmare is dreaming on you.
How many times did you tell me at night if I said my prayers
it would be all right and I believed you?
I believed you and it never came true.
No more facades, no more lies.
I just wanna be straight with you.
This is me.
What the fuck am I supposed to do?
If you don't know than I don't know
and I guess we'll leave it alone and see what happens in time.
Maybe I'll get some peace of mine.
I hope someday I do this ain't no way to live trying not to think about you.
I never wanted to live like this but this is all I do

"The Sound Of The End"
 
This is the sound of the end.
it’s like a crushing destruction,
smashing everything in sight and it’s coming for you,
it’s gonna hold you, embrace you,
squeeze you tight around the neck till you can’t breathe no more.
this is the sound of the end.
There will be no shelter. no hiding,
you can pray to god for help but he’s not listening to you.
it’ll be too late for redemption just accept the fate that we create,.
it’s all that we can do this is the sound of the end
