Then there's no price to pay
We've been running from love

Sharing our free love

Wake up screaming, reaching out trough despair
The images linger, memories like nails
Violation, stink of faeces, desecration of life
A burning sky, the day blackened in shame
The cover, the lies cover the mind's eye
I am became a fire alive
The sever the faith, sever the soul sight
And raise a fire, a fire alive
Facing death without a sign of life
The empty gaze of a child branded by psychosis
Staring blindly into the mortal wounds
Doll parts, served flesh, the dead and the dying
The cover, the lies cover the mind's eye
I am became a fire alive
The sever the faith, sever the soul sight
And raise a fire, a fire alive
Why O' shaab al-saffah?
I will see you when I go
Into the fire, into the roaring sun
So say your prayers
And and your goodbyes
Prepare to face the Lord
For in this my final act God speaks his shame
His incarnation is hell
It'll tear you to shreds
It'll rip your souls to pieces
Incinerate
Flesh into ashes
[Intro: Hell Razah]
Yeah, this goes out to Brooklyn, Queens
Harlem, Shaolin, to the BX, Strong Island
Dirty Jersey, all the way to the Midwest, Miami
We gon' go all the way to the west side on this one right here
California, San Francisco, London, Amsterdam
Tokyo, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Haiti, Puerto Rico
Dominican Republic, Columbia, Brazil, throw your flags up
Black Market, so y'all could see us
Killah Priest, we're here, Tragedy Khadafi
William Cooper, Hell Razah, Bo King, Brooklyn
Yo Brooklyn was going down?
[Timbo King:]
Yeah-yeah, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
My first name's Bo, my last name's King
I hit you in the face with a chicken wing
From a lie I should fuck you up right now
But your girl's my love and I'm wondering how
Know how to fuck, 'cause I just came to chill
I feel the beef, is charcoal ok with the grill?
Testing, you know yet we came with the vest
And the drugs, the bitches, the one's I'm caressing
Now what? You wanna pop off Jacob?
Girl I don't got the time for the lies and make-ups
[Killah Priest:]
Shootouts in block corners, cops swarming
Police riots, street's virus
Walk thru plain with .38, then put it right where you think
You blink, you could be gon', name your pain
Next thing I'm going after your expiration date
This one's for the women on Section-8
Sex is great, but I wanna educate you more
More than the cat that penetrated you more
That kind of dude gonna medicate you all
Quote it when I conversate, it's pure
Since '86 my baby inflicts, bamboo earrings
Bad jewels appearing
Coca Cola shirts, on the mic niggas know Priest goes bezerk
[Chorus: Priest]
Money makes the world go round
Black Market movement, revolution
[Hell Razah:]
'88 on the duce with our thick rope chain
Now we got a President that ship Cocaine
And can't get a chick if your whip ain't a Range
We still block party, rock games of Atari
Who went from windbreakers to rocking an Armani
When I first heard "La-li-da-di" from my man's bad copy
Trey bags of weed and red double G's
Four figurines, the era of the Kings
When Rakim came out with 'Microphone Fiend'
Poor crack fiends taught niggas how to sling
But it must have gotten too hot, burned off your wings
I'm all attitude, you need jewels to speed up
Even if you're scheming, you're thinking like a diva
Like a diva, it's deeper
[William Cooper:]
I was an emcee on the boom-box, my hip-hop lock it
Face covered with a stocking
Skating on a baseline, gun hand on my waistline
Back in '86 rope chain and white lines
And nowadays is what set you plain
The blood or grip, or what hoop you play
And you know I was a mack in 8th grade
Looking up to Cool J macking in school days
[Chorus: Priest]
So stop all the shooting, what were doing
Money makes the world go round
Black Market movement, revolution
Crack will make your girl go down
So stop all the shooting, what were doing
Money makes the world go round
[Outro: Hell Razah]
Money makes the world go round
Yeah, all the way down to Virginia
North Carolina, South Carolina
Connecticut, Renaissance Child
All our people out there in Germany
Uh-huh, Australia, all our people in Israel, Tel Aviv
All our people out there in Egypt
Niggas had on gazelles; we see y'all, long distance
Niggas used to rock on gentians and shit
All our people out there in Sudan
Black Market baby, Yemen, Brooklyn all day
(Sandman)
Free love oh what is it
Free love oh I can't stand it it's a panic
Normally love costs a bundle and plenty of trouble
But you fooled me you fooled me
You ran away to Italy
You fooled me
Yea you fooled me you fooled me
You ran away to Italy
With your psychiatrist who's now a scientologist
Oh I should have foreseen this
Business with your psychiatrist
Free love don't bank on it baby
Don't bank on it (x3)
Don't bank on it baby free love
So the next time someone offers you free love you know it
You better run run for shelter run for help
Run for the nearest downtown lounge in the afternoon
For for the cynical arms of a stranger
Run for the open arms of an unknown tomorrow
Because love love love is expensive hea
Free love don't bank on it baby
Don't bank on it (x3)
Don't bank on it baby free love
Don't bank on it baby
Don't bank on it (x3)

In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight
Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip, yeah I suck dick
Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children's things a young mother's love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
Flowers in the water, but I'm just his daughter
Walking down an icy grave leading to my
Schizophrenic father. Weeping willow won't you wallow louder
Searching for my father's power
I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse
He's a black magic wielder some say a witch
Wielded darkness when he was violent, my eyes my arms
And and I'm her child and he was the bastard that broke
Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage
And he was born with the same blue eyes
Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate
In the night fireworks electric bright
And now he's got his own two sons
Trys to hide his tears in a world of fun
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
Bring silent heartache July to June
Swoon over new young heart flame
Mourn the memories later
Laugh now alligator
In a dream my father came to me
And made me swear that I'd keep
What's sacred to me
And if I get the choice to live in his name
I'll pray my way through the rain
Singing oh happy day
I don't mean to close the door
But for the record my heart is sore
You blew through me like bullet holes
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul
You left me broke down begging for change
Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged
He had your hands and my father's face
Another western vampire
Different time same place
I has dreams that brings me sadness
Rain much deeper than a river
Sorrow flow through me
Tiny waves of shivers
Corny movies make me reminisce
They break me down easy on this generic love ship
First kiss frog and princess
I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Oh imposing forests
Of trees I've never seen
You make the way to my fate
So hard to walk
Of foreign rain
Stinging my face
How unwelcome I feel
Sinking in merciless mud
As if you knew
Of forests and rain
That we do not own this land
We do not own this land
Of foreign land
I came here to die
Or claim you as mine.
Of foreign seas
With skyward waves
Hail, wind and storm
My life
Is marching to my own death.
As if you knew,
Oh sky, earth and seas
That we do not own this land...
I came here to die
Or claim you as mine!
Tonight I'm feeling so strange
I feel a strange sensation
a dark unwell in my brain
tell me baby what is happening?
The moon is higher tonight
it's full and red as blood
her light makes me blind
makes me feel all more badly.
The moon's ring is glowing always so much
the night becomes all so bloody
and a growing fury makes one's way on me.
Now yeah, now I realize!
I read the terror that's born in you!
It's him who wants this happen
it's him who now's the master of me!
I see my body covered by hair
teeth an ears are prolonging more!
I'm changed! I'm no more a man!
I'm become a Werewolf!
Now my view strikes terror into you
your frightened eyes are waiting death
you know that HE's now inside of me
so you're the victim of my new being!
This night I'll tear you into pieces!
My claws will caress your corpse
and your blood will satiate my thirst
She moves so quick, she moves so fast
She moves so quick, she make the good times last
She said that even in the mornin' said you know it's on
Even in the mornin'
Free love, free love
Free love, free love, love, love, love
She like it rough, she bendin' bones
She starts a screamin' when she's ready to go
She said that even in the mornin' said you know that it's on
Even in the mornin'
Free love, free love
Free love, free love, love, love, love
Pretty girl, come with me, two on two, three on three
Passion is the flavor climbin' up this tree
Make a fuss, move around, keep it on the underground
Just beneath the covers I can see the sea
She knockin' knees so full of pride
She make the move 'cause she's got nothin' to hide
She said that even in the mornin' said you know that it's on
Even in the mornin'
Free love, free love
Free love, free love, love, love, love
Free love, free love
Free love, free love
Free love, free love
Free love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love
Rising up
From the dirt
Signs of life are stirring across the earth
And out of the dust,
About to bloom
Something beautiful is breaking through
Chorus:
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
In this dying land, we are alive
Can you feel
The truth down deep?
Pounding in your chest like your heartbeat
You and I
We believe
In the call that carries us into the streets
Chorus:
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
In this dying land, we are alive
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
In this dying land, we are alive
We are alive
We are alive
We are the hope of nations
We are the new creation
We are the generation to reach the lost
We are the hope of nations
We are the new creation
We are the chosen sons and daughters through the cross
Chorus:
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
In this dying land, we are alive
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
In this dying land, we are alive
We are alive
She got one over on me
I found out she cheated on me
Well I was beggin' her to try with three
I guess that I'm the one to blame
They're closing in, the walls are cracked
Look me in the eye and stab my back
Pull the knife out, let it slide
I no longer want to suffer this pain inside
Well I'm thinking of your faces
Smiling in darkened places
Hope you still can smell the traces of your lips
I'll be up until tomorrow
Drinking rum to drown my sorrows
But I can't stop thinking how it came to this
Loooord Nooow
Lord you want the free love love
She want the free love
Ohhhhhhhhh lord lord
You wanna free love lord
While I was on the road
And rockin' around the world
And you were getting down with my boy and his girl
Telling me it meant nothing
I shouldn't even care
If I was around I would've been all up in there, lord
Calafimiga human sandwhich on a meat
Call all the bread, treat my like a piece of meat
Menagetua is every man's dream (true)
And is my fantasy
Well I'm thinking of your faces
Smiling in darkened places
Hope you still can smell the traces of your lips
I'll be up until tomorrow
Drinking rum to drown my sorrows
But I can't stop thinking how it came to this
Oooo no lord no no no
Noooooooo no no nooooooo
No no no free love love love free love
Free love free love free love
Ooooooooo no no
Free love
Licky licky long time now
Free love lovey lovey lovey
While I was on the road
And rockin' around the world
And you were getting down with my boy and his girl
Telling me it meant nothing (oh ya)
I shouldn't even care
If I was around you know I would've been all up in there
I give you free love
I give you free love ohh lord
Let's take a little trip down where we used to go
It's way beyond the strip, a place they call your soul
We'll sit down for a while and let the evening roll
Don't worry about the time, we'll find a place to stay
The people 'round here seem familiar in some way
Look kind of like we did before we got so cold
And in the air the questions hang
Will we get to do something?
Who we gonna end up being?
How we gonna end up feeling?
What you gonna spend your free life on? Free life
Let's fall in love again with music as our guide
We'll raise our ready hands and let go for the ride
Down into unknown lands where lovers need and hide
We got these lives for free, we don't know where they've been
We don't know where they'll go when we are through with them
A starlight of the sun, the dark side of the moon
In the air the questions hang
Will we get to do something?
Who we gonna end up being?
How we gonna end up feeling?
What you gonna spend your free life on?
Free life, free life, free life
It seems so long ago, those empty afternoon
With nowhere much to go and nothing much to do
But sit up in my room and let the world unfold
In the air the questions hang
Will we get to do something?
Who we gonna end up being?
How we gonna end up feeling?
What you gonna spend your free life on?
In the air the questions hang
Will we get to do, do something?
End up being, end up feeling
What you gonna spend your free life on?
When you were a baby
Your mama told you not to play with fire
Fire will burn you, and you want to know
What would really be desire
Fire will burn you, and you realize
You don't have to play with fire
* Fire will burn you, fire will burn you
Fire will burn you, fire will burn you
Watch out, watch out, watch out
**I'm a big boy, mama
I know I'll never ever play with fire
Fire will burn you, 'cause I now know better
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire will burn you
And I realize, I don't have to play with fire
(* Repeat)
(** Repeat)
Fire will burn you, fire will burn you

It's inside us, all around us, everywhere we go
When the light of the day is dead
The spark of night ignites
Beast Dormant inside
Comes alive
When imagination rules the head
Evoking instincts undead
The animal will rise to cry wolf
Victorious it breaks from the cage
Free from the man in his rage
Alive it cries wolf
Instincts
Instinct thinks from the heart
The savage tears apart
The beast
It bears some truth
But behind the man hides crying wolf
And it howls and he howls
Unto the feast he bares his teeth
Man into beast
Torn from the leash - savage man
Man is the beast aware
And it howls and he howls
I ache, it's opening my soul (my soul).
I ache, it's opening...
Speak what we feel,
and not what we ought to say.
Well, I'm forever young
and you're forever you.
So much to say
but nothing to hide.
Ohh, please open it all.
Soft voice, that whispers lies.
Who do I lay beside?
Soft voice, soft voice,
that whispers lies.
Well, I don't want to see it anymore.
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore.
But I won't be played a fool.
Well, I don't want to see it anymore.
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore.
But I won't be played a fool.
Did you count how many times
the words left my mouth?
So many times I was pressed on top.
You never pushed me off.
As much as it hurts to admit,
you just...
Well, I don't want to see it anymore.
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore.
But I won't be played a fool.
Well, I don't want to see it anymore.
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore.
But I won't be played a fool.
No matter how hard you'll try
These words won't save me
Please stop, slow your speech.
Soft hands that would ruin lives,
and eyes that would burn.
Fall to your knees.
You pretend not to see our problems,
because they form inside you.
Well, I don't want to see it anymore.
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore.
But I won't be played a fool.
Well, I don't want to see it anymore.
Too bad he's not me and these feelings you just can't ignore.
