I'm plowing through a crowd of worthless hatred
That's falling down, at least they start to fry
Why can't I be removed, take their places?
Sometimes it's better to eat their scars
These are the times of the waking liar
Hold him close or you will expire
Holding on to the place you're thinking
Total deceit
I like to lose hope
Recede and cope
Like a beautiful rape
These things, aren't they great?
I'm terrified by emotionless faces
They're all around me I want to die
I'm fucking trippin' out seeing faces
Of murderers covered in lie
These are the times of the waking liar
Hold him close or you will expire
Holding on to the place you're thinking
Total deceit
I like to lose hope
Recede and cope
Like a beautiful rape
These things, aren't they great?
I love the things that make you upset
The more you hurt, the stronger I get
I love the things that make you upset
The more you hurt, the stronger I get!
I like to lose hope
Recede and cope
Like a beautiful rape
These things, aren't they great?

Like a desert, so smooth
So calm, like velvet
Like wire, so taut
So stretched, like steel
The surface is rippling
And straining and cracking
From within
Like a bomb just ticking
And waiting like hours
And hours keep folding
And winding and stretching
And deep down inside
The foundations are tearing apart
And the holes are all gaping
Swallowing everything
Please take me out of this dream
Tension
Nightmares like circles
Of lies all hidden
Seething and smouldering
Under the covers
No fire, no passion
But uneasy silence
And peace
In terror I'm waiting
For the one great explosion
Please take me out of this dream
Tension

frail hinges pivot
on a cases door
commemorative
souvenirs from places
containers change
with each occasion
cellophane encased
displaying paper
certificate
credit years of service
a tool of
central enterprises
the early hope
for permanence the
words the rings
consistency
and social security the
miracles high tragedy
a thought mistaken
for a memory
dress lenghts
assassinations
fractured family ties
christenings
local posts they
list your friends
in order of
disappearance
lawn scattered tins
feed birds the
portion baked for
absent guests
mass edition icon
god sent comfort is
your salvation
but who grants
absolution for sins
that never were committed
tension
makes a tangle
of each thought becomes
inconvenience
sound never penetrate
as servile edges
break and faint
a thought mistaken
for a memory
clear the dust from
smiles in boxes
cross a patterned floor
recall the voices

sitting in my armchair thinking again and again and again
going round in a circle i can't get out
then i look around thinking day and night and day
then you look around - there must be some explanation
and the tension builds
take advantage - let nothing be fantasy
how do you grow as you stunt your growth?
nothing you say makes sense anymore
then you look around - there must be some explanation
and the tension builds
sitting in my armchair thinking again and again and again
going round in a circle we can't get out
then i look around thinking day and night and day
then you look around - there's nothing left to say

with your revealing
i get the feeling
of a blind man in bed
couldn't hear what i said
with your revealing
i get the feeling
of a monk in a church

I wake up every morning bright and early
Roll out of bed, but I’m never quite alone.
Tension is pulling me in all directions.
And all these problems use me as a road.
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy.
At anytime I could explode.
I need some piece of mind; it’s got me tired.
Don’t wanna lose it, but I’m turning down that road.
I need a moment, ‘cause I’ve spread myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
Works hard, the days too long.
And that’s just where it begins.
Tension has had us all this time.
I sit in traffic every single morning.
Just as I arrive I’m slaving to the grind.
Making the money so I feed my family,
But I can’t raise them, ‘cause I ain’t got the time.
I’ve got no free days on my busy schedule,
I turn the page and it’s the same.
Don’t like my situation, you don’t either.
Don’t wanna look back scared.
I’m working life away.
I need a moment, cause I’ve spread myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
Works all the days too long, and that’s just where it begins.
Tension has had us all this time.
But every now and then, I drive alone,
An open road, hot summer day,
A gentle breeze that feels alright.
All alone,
And I can feel no pain, only strain.
Enjoy the sights, I feel alive.
Relaxing here just feels alright,
Far from home.
I need a moment, cause I’ve spread myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
Works all the days too long, and that’s just where it begins.

[Intro: Phonte]
And we do it like this, y'all
All day, everytime don't miss y'all
It's Little Brother, Phonte don't quit y'all
It's Big Pooh, 9th Wonder on the shit y'all (LB, baby)
It's like this, it's like that, keep it goin on (you know we back)
It's like this, it's like that, keep it goin on
(... tension on y'all niggaz)
(f'real) What you think this shit is, man?
[Rapper Big Pooh:]
I'm ready to fight, every last hatin-ass, fakin-ass
Blantant-ass stoytellin pussy magellan
(NO!) You ain't know, I came ready to scrap
I'm a chill-ass nigga 'til you push me black (aight?)(OHH!)
Yeah, that's my nigga there, he got my back
We ride that bitch until the wheels fall off, and the rims gon crack
A-matter of fact, we back on attack
Tay and Pooh rock mics, niggy-9th on the track
The League is here, please beware
We were hungry for a while muh'fuckers, we gon eat this year
(YEAH!) I'm ready to do it, I'm ready for whatever
No matter the weather - rain, sleet, snow, hail, or sunshine
And I'm a get mine, and I'm get right
I don't care what you crab critics write
Despite the fact LB still fat to death
The last ones left STAY holdin your breath, nigga!
[Chorus 1: x2]
Yo, without a doubt, tun it out, give it to you raw
Never seen, never heard, never did before
I'm feelin tension in the air, yo
But I ain't goin nowhere, we right muh'fuckin here, yo
[Phonte:]
Check it out, yo Phonte the rap patter familias
Man of constant sorrow that's in the booth killin you niggaz with
A highly flammable style that's burnin your villages
And got everybody runnin cause they see just how real it is
Cause that's what it takes to get through
And all of you faggotty niggaz who fronted, no we won't forget you
Who tried to fuck around with our sound credentials
But now, when we come around, you sound pre-minstrel
I'll bring it to you live when it's time to
But I got bigger things on my mind and I know we gon shine thru
You creepin and I know where to find you
I copped the 12-inch, how you let your instrumental out-rhyme you, nigga?
My whole team come through like the task force
Makin niggaz sit down is all we can stand for
You fake fifteen-and-a-half-bar rap stars
Take ya caps off, LB bout to blast off, what?
[Chorus 2:]
Yo, without a doubt, tun it out, give it to you raw
Never seen, never heard, never did before
I'm feelin tension in the air, yo
But we ain't goin nowhere, we right muh'fuckin here, yo
Yo, without a doubt, tun it out, give it to you raw
Never seen, never heard, never did before
I'm feelin tension in the air, yo
But we ain't runnin nowhere, we right muh'fuckin here, yo
[Rapper Big Pooh:]
Aiyyo, I'm Gon Git You Sucka, every hero needs
Some theme music, and this is mine
You feelin danger, then press rewind
I press and Clydesdale wack MCs', God rich with the rhyme
[Phonte:]
Let's hit the pedal yo and let's burn out
I see the bitch in some of y'all heels and ya press-perm out (okay)
I'm hungry like the Wolf of London for a fresh turn-out
That goes out, to each and every last ONE of y'all fag-niggaz
Been tryin to get on for years, now you mad with us
Wanna-be MCs', but better off ad-libbers (uh){both} I jab niggaz...
[Rapper Big Pooh:]
... who claim they rode with mad killas
I got your album, every joint sound like bad fillers
We constantly spinnin, like a set of perrellis
We retro-fitted like a chick rockin jellies (uh)
It's all from the soul to my belly
You better pick up your celly and let the world know Big Pooh is BACK (nigga, OH!)
[Chorus 1]
[1/2 Chorus 2: w/ ad-lbis]
We doin this for y'all yo...

Brass hat, CEO
Only appears for a cameo
The camp is so clean
And it keeps raining green
The scent is strong
But yet something's wrong
Everything is too much right
Tension, need tension
God forsaken
Godawful place
The falling house of cards
That I love to embrace
I'm saving face
Four star everything's comped
We steer the peddlers clear
Lessons in decorum given out
First class, top notch, no fear
Announcing every heroic feat
Large praise and make it quick
Good as it is it's never great
This health is making me sick
Wrapped up the report is done
The addle brained just can't get enough
The scent is strong but yet something is wrong
Everything just ain't right

I’m not angry, I’m just frustrated.
What your hearing is my cynic grin
I don’t know what cracks or snaps but
this attack is part of my relaxing.
As I seethe my words seem understated.
What you’re hearing is my tearing skin
I don’t care what brittle fractures crack if I can
black out and relax.
When I speak my tongue it feels sedated.
My temper tantrum balance is
I don’t know what fuzz is masking
what I say or what I’m asking

Can you feel the tension in the air?
Assuring you once agian I'm there
'Cause you break my trust, you break my heart
I'll break your fall
Your fall
So I lied,
Don't say you've done the same without a smile upon your face
'Cause once you've but tasted of this fruit that lay,
A serpent's swayed your ways
Which brings me to my next thought,
Walk these roads as crooked as they be
So I lied, and so we lie
Can you feel the tension in the air?
Assuring you once again I'm there
'Cause you break my trust, you break my heart
I break your fall
And so I lie,
This time I face the sky without a smile, without a trace.
I don't just see blue I choose to.
With still no sign of you.
Which brings me to my next thought,
Don't be fooled by the cunning ways of the truth.
And so I lied, and so we lie.
Weakened knees,
Belong to those who find it hard to believe,
But so intrigued.
By the thought of someone, somehow, meeting their needs
By the thought of someone, somewhere, meeting our needs.
Without tension in the air
Assuring you once again I'm there
You break my trust, you break my heart
I break your fall
Your fall
Your fall
Your fall
But can you feel the tension in the air?
Assuring you once again I'm there
'Cause you break my trust, you break my heart
I'll break your fall
(You break my trust) your fall (so I lied)
(You break my heart) your fall (so I lied)
Now break your fall

You've got a set of starry eyes
A pair that could make me realize
I wanna be with you all the time
Instead of lonely every night
What's with the sad look on your face
Your smile looks a little out of place
A pain that I wish I could erase
If only you'd leave me some space
Don't give me love you've left behind
Cause I am your bright star in the sky
And I will be up there waiting patiently for you
If I could make you into more
I wouldn't know wheather the reasons for
You're just a little paranoid
Every time I walk through the door
Don't tell me you're scared, that's a lie
I know how you really feel inside
So I will be outside waiting for you one more time.
It's getting hard to breathe
My body's turning blue, why can't you see?
You are the one I need
So why are you the one that's making me bleed
How long is this tension going to last
I need some sort of refreshment
How long is this tension going to last
Don't give me love you've left behind
Cause I am your bright star in the sky
And I will be up there waiting patiently for you
Don't you have an opinion
I thought you had a mind of your own
I can't believe that you're angry
You won't even talk to me on the phone
This fever is starting to hurt me
How long is this tension going to last
I need some sort of refreshment
