Blind

Fake-ness blinding me
Why can’t you just see
The betrayal you have made
The real friendship
You have betrayed
My back was open
You took a stab
I am the friend
You once had
Your actions fill me with hate
Say what you have to
To my face
Hatred for your petulance
You have nothing of prominence
You had to come from somewhere too
You weren’t born knowing all you do
A lie is what your living
A boot to the face is what I’m giving
Fake-ness is all I see
Hypocrisy for eternity

Nothing
02:55
|

Head strong
Beliefs in tight
Never go down
Without a fight
Follow those only worthy of respect
And some of your own laws you’ll need check
They may not always be in your comfort
But when are they I ask
The only way to live without opposition
Is to sell out to the past
To be something
You must be nothing
To be remembered
You must stand alone
Fitting in never works
It only pulls you down
Don’t fear those
Who want you to break
And be just like them
Cause you’ll be the one
The one they follow
Follow in the end
Stand up
Stand out
You must be alone
Only the weak
Only the weak will throw the first stone
To be something
You must be nothing
To be remembered
You must stand alone
Fitting in never works
It only pulls you down
Don’t fear those
Who want you to break
And be just like them
Cause you’ll be the one
The one they follow
Follow in the end
Stand up
Stand out
You must be alone
Only the weak
Only the weak will throw the first stone

Roots

The media
Proclaims us as the same
They’re just playing
the same old game
If your bald
Have braces and boots
They don’t care
About your roots
I’m proud I’m white
And that I will say
But to look down on those who aren’t
There’s just no way
Black/white and white/black
Shack hands and take that knife out of my back
HEY HEY!
You live in the US
Welcome to the pot
Stop trying to make my country something it’s not
This is America
The Land of the free
Why are there slaves in this society
Right now
Guilty is the verdict
Your prejudged prejudice
Makes me sick
Spreading so much hate
A world of racism
That color separates
HEY HEY!

Propaganda

Propaganda
A series of lies
With your words you try to
control our lives
We don’t listen
Not to what you say
Why don’t you just move over
Get out of the way
We are winners
You are losers
Unity is more than words
Your deeds are nasty
Your words are broken
Our old ways are what is won
Propaganda
A series of lies
We can see the deceit
In your eyes
Our words are stronger then your ways
Are days are brighter than your days
Our lives are fuller and our days are longer
Live for ourselves
We are winners
You are the losers
We say that to your face
We’re not afraid of the ways of people
We have much more than you do
Than you do
Unity
Unity

Lies
Filled with hatred
Blindness
We cannot see
Lies
Filled with hatred
Blindness
We cannot see
Be yourself
Stand strong in your ways
Fight all for one
For no better days
Their ways may be wrong
Give them a choice
Always throwing your worst at them
Just give them a voice
Be yourself
Stand strong in your ways
Unite as one
For no better day
Push
That’s all you do
They’re putting up more walls when you do
Stand back
Give them
A chance
Be yourself
Stand strong in your ways
Fight all for one
For no better day

But You're Not
01:50

Everywhere you turn
Someone condemns you to burn
You’re in a box
You’re caught
Don’t listen to what the world taught
You’re busted
You’re rapped
You’re locked in
You’re trapped
Our society allows no love to exist
Stop it - I’m getting pissed
Where is all leading
I don’t know
I’m simply fighting
Going against the flow
Screw it all
Just let it go
It doesn’t matter
Let it show
Influences on every side
What to follow you must decide
Think about who to call
Be proud Stand tall
Don’t let anything slide
They’re just trying to take you for a free ride
There’s one way out only one way
To get away from everyday
Take a look around, look everywhere
Just notice it, it’s always been there
Now you’re out, you know what it’s all about
Everyone is busted
Everyone is rapped
Everyone is locked in
Everyone is trapped
But you’re not
But you’re not

You're Dead
03:02

Reality is insurmountably impossible
We’re living our imagination
Face the situation
It’s all just one big lie
Open your eyes
The choice is up to you
What are you going to do
You must say before the day when you’re dead
Around you
devil’s swarm
Look to the one with
The outstretched arms
Better think of what you do
Before the deed is done
The choice is up to you
What are you going to do
You must say before the day when you’re dead
The choice is up to you
What are you going to do
You must say before the day when you’re dead
The choice is up to you
What are you going to do
You must say before the day when you’re dead
You’re dead

Here I am all alone
Working for all I own
Realizing
Where I am
Moving slowly
From boy to man
Can’t you see
The pain you caused
So little won
Yet so much lost
Into me
You must see
Look at my reality
You must show me
Show me how you care
I cannot guess if
Your love is there
Can’t you see
The pain you caused
So little won
Yet so much lost
I have so much
So much to give
But my own life
You must now let me live
I have given myself
Fully until thee
Now you must give yourself
Fully until me
Can’t you see
The pain you caused
So little won
Yet so much lost

Little Boy

Why
I’m asking you
No longer living
My life for you
You
Influenced me
Now I just
Need to be free
My respect
You do have
Now together
We can laugh
I am almost
Almost free
I just need
To be a little more me
Individual
On my own
A Little boy
Almost grown
You have gained
My respect
Now my own life
I will erect
