i once had a boyfriend,
he wasnt true to me,
when he toar me up inside
i thought it couldnt be,
chorus
so why, why do you tear me up,
why dont you keep my trust,
why dont you love me much
so whys the pain,
the pain is so deep inside
its so very hard to hide,
i thought it couldnt be
but now i see
you never really love me,
you never really cared,
so why should i even try,
to think of the things we shared,
chorus
what more do you want from me,
i gave you all the things i owed
i gave you all my heart and soul,
i gave you everything i wanted too
chorus
but now i see
What's your name, my name is Pain
Where do you live, I live anyplace
Where were you born, in the state of fear
How old are you, nineteen hundred and ninety four years
What's your plan, my plan is pain
When will you leave, I'll never go away
How will you breathe, you'll give me life
How will you see, sitting in the temple right between your eyes
My name is Pain, you belong to me
You're all I wanted, I'm all you'll ever be
From the beginning in a world without end
I am the air, I am Pain
Pain is love, Pain is pure
Pain is sickness, Pain is the cure
Pain is death, Pain is religion
Pain is life, Pain is television
Pain walks, Pain crawls
Pain is peace, Pain is war
Where were you born, in the state of fear
How old are you, nineteen hundred and ninety four years
My name is Pain, you belong to me
You're all I ever wanted, I'm all you'll ever be
From the beginning in a world without end

I couldn't help but notice your pain
[My pain?]
It runs deep
Share it with me!
They'll never take me alive, I'm gettin' high with my four-five
Cocked on these suckas, time to die
Even as a youngster causin' ruckus on the back of the bus
i was a fool all through high school kickin' up dust
But now I'm labelled as a trouble maker who can you blame?
Smokin' weed helped me take away the pain
So I'm hopeless rollin' down the freeway swervin, don't worry
I'm about to crash up on the curb cause my visions blurry
Maybe if they tried to understand me, what should I do?
I had to feed my fuckin' family, what else could I do
but be a thug
out slangin' with the homies
fuck hangin' with them phonies in the club
got my mind on danger
never been a stranger to homicide
my cities full of gang bangers and drive bys
why do we die at an early age
he was so young
but still a victim of the 12 gauge
my memories of a corpse
mind full of sick thoughts
and I ain't goin back to court
so fuck what you thought I'm drinkin' hennessey
runnin from my enemies will I live to be 23
there's so much pain
(Chorus)
Ohhhh....
Tired of the Strain and the Pain
Ohhhh....
Tired of the Strain and the Pain
years and years of that rough life
runnin crazed and wild as a kid and growin tough with a knife
and livin trifed on the regular
bokin out competitors
see them take a move and take them down like a fuckin predator
get in trouble everyday in school
act a fool
and you know I had to break every rule
showin off for the bitches cause I had the mad rep
so I had to watch my back when it was time to step
[????] with love for me
pop, pop, pop
and send a chuckle up above for me
Aiyyo currency kept passing me by, but I didn't cry
broke and head off with the pack and started sellin coke
And now the money's looking lovely
Pop the drop top and now the bitches wanna rub me
Kick 'em the game
it's all the same
i kick it back yo
Give 'em slack yo
and now they label me the mack yo
people check it
get disrespected if you front the the birdman
you heard man
catch a couple shots from the glock in my hand
Damn! At least I'm realistic with my biscuit
you know you get your ass twisted so run for cover
me and my man got a plan kickin' major dust
so if your on nigga look for the gauge to bust
a lot of pressure with the street fame
it's a deep game
and my mama always cryin'
yo there's so much pain
(Chorus)
Ohhhh...
Ohhhh...
They got me mobbin like I'm
loc'ed and ready to get my slug on
i load my clip and slip my motherfuckin' gloves on
i ain't scared to blast on these suckas if they test me
Trust, I got my glock cocked playa if they press me
Bust on motherfuckers with a - paaassion
Better duck cause I ain't lookin when I'm - blaaastin
I'm a nuttin drinkin Hennessey and gettin' high
On the lookout for my enemies, don't wanna die
Tell me why cause this stress is gettin' major
A buck-fifty across the face with my razor
what can I do but be a thug until I'm dead and gone
keep my brain on the game and stay head strong
these sorry bastards
want to kill me in my sleep but will they can I see
and everyday it just a struggle
steady thuggin' in the streets
and i'll be ballin' loc
don't let 'em make you worry
keep swingin' at these suckas till you buried
i was born to raise hell, a nigga from the gutta,
with a mother on drugs
I'm kickin dust up
ready to bust
I'm on the scene steady muggin' mean
until they kill me
i'll be livin this life
i know you feel me
there's so much pain
(Chorus)
Ohhh...
Tired of the Strain and the Pain

I'm hidden in the scream when the virgin dies
I'm the ache in the belly when your baby cries
And I'm the burnin sensation when the convict fries
I'm pain
I'm your pain
Unspeakable pain
I'm your private pain
And I'm the compound fracture in the twisted car
And I'm the lines on the face of the tramp at the bar
And I'm the reds by the bed of the suicide star
You know me - I'm pain
I'm your pain
Your own private pain
Unfathomable pain
And it's a compliment to me
To hear you screamin through the night
All night
Tonight
I'm the holes in your arm when you're feeling the shakes
I'm the lump on your head when you step on the rake
And I'm the loudest one laughing at the saddest wake
Yes I'm pain
I'm just pain
Dear old pain
You need your pain
And I'm the loudest one laughing at the saddest wake
I'm the salt in the sweat on the cuts of the slaves
I was the wound in the side while Jesus prayed
I was the filthiest word at the vandalized grave
Yes, pain
Do you love me pain
I love my pain
I'm your pain
It's a compliment to me
To hear you screamin through the night
All night
Passion....pain....pleasure
It hurts when I laugh sometimes, feels good when I cry
Tell me when you looking at me
Can you see the pain in my eyes
As the stars shine deep in the night sky
As the sun sits way above the clouds
As the world spins time and time again
Look at myself wondering where I've been
City to city and girl with you one nights all i got to give
You don't know me no matter how I might appear
Will I ever know why do I feel so alone?
Since a child i was told, all that glitters aint gold
Got lost in the moment, tryna find what i wanted
So i'm drowning in regret, and i'll never forget
[Fabolous]
I'm old enough to know better, young enough to not give a f-ck
Rather hold my high and die then live and duck
If you're cool being taken down and giving up
Your lifestyle's a blow job, the way you're living sucks!
I done felt pain, waited but no help came
Went through some crazy shit still kept myself sane
You ever been dying of thirst and smelt rain
Ever been told "go to hell" and felt flames
The water's to your neck and only gets deeper
It's all down hill and it only gets steeper
Gotta get over it, be a hurdle leaper
It cost to be the boss, it aint get no cheaper
But there's a man above that we all under bro
No bread truck but he work wonders though!
After you wake up, everything is wonderful
You can overcome anything you undergo
As an artist I'm just tryna paint the perfect picture
But see where tryna wait for somebody that's perfect gets you
That usually lead to nothing like virgin kisses
And I be tryna cut, surgeon bitches
Dreams of splurging riches, pretty but curvy misses
Chef to serve the dishes, driving to swerve the ditches
I'm just another kid on the purple wishes?
And the streets is tough, on the verge of viscious
So I sold weed and crack, business
That white girl helped a nigga, Fergalicious
But getting money bring jealousy and verbal disses
So when you killin' shit watch out for the murder witness
An old head told me, let nothing disturb your business
Beef is only good when you in the burger business
So I chilled, but loaded up the steal
Like I wish a nigga would, But I know a nigga will
But for real you loaded up to kill
Cause soon as a nigga could the sooner a nigga will
And I don't owe these niggas nothing
Pain, my middle name
Lord please have mercy on my soul, I can't maintain
Pain, my middle name
Lord please have mercy on my
[Z-Ro]
I haven't smoked a sherm in 27 days
When I'm under pressure, I feel it's necessary to blaze
Looking at my life as if I wasn't here, why the fuck that picture be so clear
Since my nigga died, I done slowed down on drank
But I'm right back heavy on beer
Stained finger tips and lips, cause smoking come with murders
Fiending for heaven but I wonder, if I'm worthy
Please God forgive your servant, and your man child
But the fact that he got Jordans, and a nigga like me
Grow po' wings was bullshit, so I ran wild
Wasn't I good enough, to get some shit like that
It was only a grade, you know I didn't deserve to get hit like that
My life my life, falls under the wicked and shife
I gotta pay my rent, therefor my partnas might be targets tonight
Even though I'm grown fucked up childhood, keep fucking my dome
Fuck around and front, like I'm gon
Buy your work, and straight leave on your song
If a nigga take me out it's all good, cause I've been fiending to leave
My life is fucked up, and I'm tired of having to drink to a G
[Chorus]
Pain, my middle name
I must learn to live again, but existing in such a strain
Pain, my middle name
Lord please have mercy on my soul, I can't maintain
[Z-Ro]
Now I done had pistols to my head befo'
Woke up with a dead body, in a bed befo'
Don't ask me why, only talk to Z-Ro
I'm noid, never trust friends they don't love us
They front like they your homies, but they bury motherfuckers
Dog I'm going through it daily, fiending for a killa to take me out
What am I living for, nothing but a record label huh break me out
I'm so sick and tired Lord knows, I'm sick and tired of this pain
But steady keeping the world, I'm no preaching through the rap game
The most evilest niggas nightmares, of my fondest dream
Cause death rules everything around me and the cream, is a cup of lean
Having a case of flashbacks, of the good time
But then I remember, it wasn't no good time
Just poverty stricken, and kicking it in the hood time
24 and I still can't think, from Guerilla Maab to Point Blank
To Big Moe to Z-Ro, and still no bank
I gotta be paying dues, for my niggas that lost they life in the game
Cause the more I struggle for happiness, nothing but pain
[Chorus]
[Z-Ro]
Dorothy Marie or mama, I've been stressed, learning to live
A life of misfortune, my feet have been so swollen from my quest
I'd like to find the meaning of sick and tired
Plus I can't determine between a bitch and right
Even my friends are fake, that's why I'm quick to ride
I'm the shit bitch, I know you smell the odor
Them other two niggas ain't bitches, and it's had a chip on my shoulder
I love my cousin and my brother mayn, but see it ain't nothing but drama
When you live in a slum, across the street from the gutter mayn
I'm 'pose to be a rap star, dig these blues a nigga ain't
Seen the states in two months, I'm in the kitchen as a crack star
What a wonderful way, to spend my fucking album release
A promotional show, and I must get do' nigga I got ounces to cheese
Ounces of green, I got mouths to feed so I need G's
Plus my own shit the T.V. in the living room, is Mexican D's
Gotta be paying dues, for my niggas that lost they life in the game
Pain -
Ripping through your senses
Screaming in torment
Waiting to die
Mental strangulation -
Choking all belief
Psychic execution -
Razor sharp relief
Pain -
Tearing through your mind
Electro insanity
Chemically blind
Hypodermic hell -
Surgery through veins
Intravenous madness -
Fucking with your brain -
Tranquilise-neutralise
Anaesthetise-paralyse
Pain -
No one hears your scream
Surgical murder
Halothane dream
Stainless nightmare-bed of steel
By dissection-cause revealed
Slient protest-laid to bare
There's times in my life where I just
I just wanna run away, I just
I just wish the pain would stop
I don't wanna cry no more
I wish the pain would go away
Start a day, bad hands make it hard to deal
Sometimes I wanna pull it, end it all with a bullet
Hard to live life to the fullest with all this bullsh*t
Mad as f**k, a nigga had enough
From jump street, saw my father murder massacre slain
One shot took half of his brain, I recapture the pain
Twenty-three years, three when it happened
Twenty-six now, still I can't stop the tears
Then my mood switch, thinkin' about this sheisty b*tch
Kinda funny 'cause they fake it when they callin' you 'honey'
On your dick when they think a nigga, might be rich
That's when I sh*t, 'cause I know you f**k with me for my money
Learned the hard way, ain't no correctin' the grief
Baby moms starts sexin', my so-called beef
Don't give a f**k if they Marked me 'For death like Steven'
Or relievin' your breathin', long as I'm,
Even 'fore I'm leavin' pain
I wish this pain, would go away
(We're talkin' about the kind of pain that)
I wish this pain would go away
(Just gets all up in your heart and in your soul)
I wish this pain would go away
(The kind of pain that makes you feel like you can't go on no more)
I wish this pain would go away
(The kind of pain that I wouldn't wish on anyone)
I can't relate to them cats who hold gats at the gate
Is it my fate, am I that nigga, that they love to hate?
Solely, slowly, cause I rock a Roley they want my brain gone
'Cause of a f**kin chain on?
Migraine's on, now the pain's warm, I stagger
And I'm hopin' I don't know the cat with the dagger
Penetratin' my heart, rushed thoughts etched in grief
To the City College deceased may you rest in peace
To the families, I never meant to cause no pain
I know the truth, but if you want, then I shoulder the blame
Overcome at times by uncontrollable flames and multiple pains
Now it seems like I'm goin' insane
For the love of you and hip-hop, I expand the news
But before my sh*t drops, I stand accused
Don't you think I wish we all was rich?
One for all, it's pain to see your people
When they all can't ball the pain
I wish this pain would go away
I wish this pain would go away
I don't wanna give no more pain
I wish this pain would go away
I don't wanna receive no more pain
I wish this pain would go away
God, please take the pain away
I can still hear the shots that left my man Big layin'
On my knees cryin' and prayin', then I said
"God why? Got to know how hard we try
Don't let him die, please don't let my nigga be dead"
But it was too late, California sealed his fate
Gone now, hard to move on now, f**k making songs now
Wish I could die, I could fly
If they don't give a f**k, f**k it why should I?
That's when Big spoke, pulled up in a glistening 3
With platinum wings and said, "Puff listen to me"
He puts his hands on my head and said "I live through you
Make hits continuous, this is what we do
I know it might be strenuous and times is hard
Just keep the faith 'cause now we rhyme with God
Plus you owe it to yourself and don't forget the kids"
That's when I opened up my eyes and new Bad Boy lives
I wish this pain would go away
I wish this pain would go away
One day the pain is gonna stop
I wish this pain would go away
One day there's gonna be no more pain
I wish this pain would go away
I'm tellin' you man
Now don't let these motherf**kers f**k your sh*t up God
I don't give a f**k who it is
Don't let 'em f**k yo' paper man, please Big
Focus your mind man, do your albums, make them hot joints
Man f**k these niggaz man, f**k these niggaz man
And I'ma tell the same thing to you
When you get your sh*t done, watch your money
And hopefully, I pray for you, you be the sh*t
And soon motherf**kers start screamin' your name out
Like they screamin' all these other, so-called hot niggaz
Never take your eyes off that sh*t yo
Try to get everything you can out of these motherf**kers yo
Ain't no guarantee they gonna love you next year
I wish this pain would go away
I wish this pain would go away
One day the pain is gonna stop
I wish this pain would go away
One day there's gonna be no more pain
I wish this pain would go away
One day the pain is gonna stop
I wish this pain would go away
Deuce,deuce revolver was my problem solver
Had a def girl,really didn't wanna involve her
In the life of a gangster,use to rob bankster
But now I'm locked up,I'm just a punk low rankster
Jail cells know me too damn well
Seems like I've built on earth my own personal hell
No matter how high I climbed,somehow I always fell
I guess a lot of players got this story to tell
No matter how cold you roll you simply cannot win
It's always fun in the beginning
But pain in the end
Pain
Organized crimer,big trouble finder
In and out of institutions ever since I was a minor
But now I'm on the bricks,deep in the mix
Crime smarts searching hard for some new street tricks
I think I'll join a gang,sling a little cane
Put a beeper on my belt and get myself a name
Fresh sneakers,silk shirts,24/7 work
Nine to five to survive,you gotta be a jerki
I clock two grand a day,yet I was born to play
Who me at micky dee's?It wouldn't work,no way
I'm a big money haver but not the last laugher
For me infamy makes me no autographer
Custody haunts my dreams,nightmares of capture
Paranoid of surveillance,phobia of cameras
My banks bigger,but so are my fears
Past records proved players live limited years
But I'm unlike the rest,know to be the best
Fast money,true wealth my eternal quest
I hustle all night long,there ain't no gain in rest
12 gauge close range,bloods on my chest
I looked into his face,I thought he was my friend
My boy had me set up,this wound would never mend
No matter who you trust,you simply cannot win
It's always fun in the beginning
But it's pain in the end
Pain
Gold rope wearer,neighborhood terror
Can't hang around my mother 'cause she says I scare her
Got a light sunburn from too much pool-side sittin'
Coroless phone keeps me on 'cause there ain't no quittin'
Mind's in a money mode,seems like it should explode
Girlies on my jammie,got a female overload
Young street messiah,professional liar
19 gotta Benz,21 I'll retire
Crazy money it ain't funny,suckers lovin' my jock
But there's some people at my door that didn't even knock
Task force boomin',doggin' my crib out,can't shout
F.B.I. got a gun in my mouth!
Threw me on the floor,called my girl a whore
Pulled ten G's out my mattress and was lookin' for more
Cracked my safe with an axe,then illed out to the max
When they seem my money kickin' it in twenty G stacks
Booked me on ten counts,with bails of different amounts
The charges stuck like glue,some that I couldn't pronounce
They threw my ass the book,my life wa surely took
And then they gave my girl
Ten years for hangin' out with a crook
She played the game herself,fast lane quick wealth
No respect for the law or the city's health
The sweat of hustlers greed is not reserved for men
It's always fun in the beginning
But it's pain in the end
[Chorus: Keyshia Cole]
See, ever since the day I got the chance to make a change
I've been in this game, it's a new day
And I'm making it known 'cause I just want the world to know
I'm paying my dues, and I got the utmost, I just wanna let you know
I'm payin' homage 'cause you've paved the way for me, yeah
[Verse 1: The Game]
I swear to God, it feel like every day is my birthday
Let the top down, California's my birthplace
So I'ma take you there like B.I.G took niggaz to New York
"Juicy" had us feeling like we was from New York
And that's real shit blazed the Philly
It's summertime shout out to Will Smith
'cause who didn't wanna be the Fresh Prince
Flat top, gold chain and some fresh kicks?
My nigga Nas told me money make the world go round
And Uncle Luke showed me how to make my girl go down
I've been around Hip Hop since '85
She had her ups and downs but she stayed alive
I used to think LL stood for Love LA
He from Queens, how the fuck he put that with Cool J?
Red Kangol hat, red sweatsuit to match
Red Adidas, nigga, Game is back
[Chorus]
And ever since the day I got the chance to make a change
I've been in this game, it's a new day
And I'm making it known 'cause I just want the world to know
I'm paying my dues, and I got the utmost, I just wanna let you know
I'm payin' homage 'cause you've paved the way for me, yeah
[Verse 2]
Public Enemy and N.W.A is on my boombox, had to say
Yoday was a good day, had the hood buzzin'
Ice Cube my favorite rapper, y'all niggaz can't tell me nothin'
Everybody's first bootleg was Boyz 'n the Hood
Whoever thought gangsta rap would make noise in the hood
When the cars ride by with the boomin' system
Two door Mustang and the roof was missing
Every girl at ya school had the new extensions
Even gangstaz was dancin' like New Edition
'cause the house parties stayed rockin' all night
Niggas came through and shot it up but it was alright
'cause after the cops left, it was a party then
You down with OPP, then bring Naughty in
They say it never rain in southern California, Tony Toni lied
Sit back, watch Game throw his money in the sky
[Chorus]
And ever since the day I got the chance to make a change
I've been in this game, it's a new day
And I'm making it known 'cause I just want the world to know
I'm paying my dues, and I got the utmost, I just wanna let you know
I'm payin' homage 'cause you've paved the way for me, yeah
[Verse 3]
Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M get the money
In the back, I relax with all the hunnies
DJ bring it back, let it go
Mix it in with Black Rob, make 'em say WHOA!
Every thing full circle, Game livin' major
Girls on my hip like a Skytel pager
Now I'm on the top, let the champagne pop
Throw ya hands in the sky 'cause The Game don't stop
Just a little more change, gotta Benz and the Range
Every rap metaphor always ends in my name:
The Kool Hercs, DJ Red Alerts
Before I was born they was talking 'bout The Game
Ask a Jay-Z fan 'bout Big Daddy Kane
Don't know him, Game gonna show 'em
Just like they showed me, my lyrics is O.G
When it's all said and done, you niggas gon' quote me
[Chorus]
And ever since the day I got the chance to make a change
I've been in this game, it's a new day
And I'm making it known 'cause I just want the world to know
I'm paying my dues, and I got the utmost, I just wanna let you know
I'm payin' homage 'cause you've paved the way for me, yeah
[Outro: Keyshia Cole]
See, Mary J. I want you to understand you paved the way (for me)
I'm givin' homage (to you)
Revisit over and over in your mind
Bitterness the root that feeds the poisoned lie
Replaying what would you do if you could
Repayment for all the hurt they caused you
(Chorus)
Pain is not pain unless you breed it like you do
Pain will be pain until you learn to let it go
Meditate, would I be happy if you died
Recreate a thousand deaths to make me smile
Suffocate the good intentions left inside
Desecrate all that is holy in my life
I finally moved out my momma house
Got a happy home
Only thing fucked up, Daddy gone (Gone forever man)
Listen up this is real shit (Real shit)
It's fucked up when u got nobody to share it with (Fucked up)
Give my last so my grandma can see me now (See me now)
Smilin tellin everybody bout her grandbaby (her grandbaby)
T-Lady hold on all I got is you (Mama)
It's fucked up what I done put me and my mama through
What's happenin Ivory I know you lookin down watchin me
Everyday I got yo kids fresh from head to feet (All of em)
Wish I can put u in the bentley with the brown [? ]
I wish we never would've went out to that club
On the road to riches mane lost a flock of niggas
[? ] a whole block of niggas
Niggas bite the hand that feed em I done seen it all
Jus got a call... Slo dead... Not my fuckin dawg
I never thought this pain last this many years
I... I never thought this pain last this many years
Still in tears
I... I never thought this pain last this many years
I lost my daddy in a heartbeat
Real talk eyes turnin right in front me
Ever since I saw that shit... it hunt me
Pray for me cause I shake in my fuckin sleep
Wish [? ]
I shoulda put him under my wing and I miss him nigga
I told [? ] way back stop ridin with ya pack
He ain't listen
And now my nigga right back in penitentury he don't listen
I lost Ivory and it fucked me up
My whole life changed
Nigga put me up in beast mode
My heart cold
And as the years role
I wish that he could have everything I got
And a lil mo'
Yo kids love me nigga
My kids and yo kids call each other sistera and brothers
You forever my lil hustler
Just saw yo gangsta at the car lot nigga and a tear dropped nigga
I never thought this pain last this many years
I... I never thought this pain last this many years
Still in tears
I... I never thought this pain last this many years
Seem like it was yesterday
The mo money I get this shit hurt
I thought that would take the stress away
To see u smilin with yo chain countin money nigga
When Trina pulled you on stage you was stuntin nigga
But through it all mane you kno how we rock nigga
From the yo to the block to the hospital
Never again would I have another big dawg
But ya mama and kids I got em all but I
I never thought this pain last this many years
I... I never thought this pain last this many years
Still in tears
When i saw you, I was not even looking
I heard you scream without raising you voice
will I run or let you have your fun
I feel like I ain't got no choice.
But maybe I ask too much or walk in the wrong direction
All those thoughts drive me insane
and i wonder how long I fell this.
Pain, is not really what it is
no, it's something different with a different name
and you, you never tell me damn thing
I hope someday I'll learn to play this game.
Fear, of course I fear the unknown
because the unknown is a stranger to me
but if you erase the pj's
then what could a stranger be
that remains to be seen.
Life goes on, it's just the same every day.
Welcome to my little world...completely self-contained, yeah
Your problems they will soon be gone (we soak up lots of pain), yeah
If life is a reflecting pool--then we are like a sponge, yeah
Absorbing the good with the bad--we soak up...soak it up
So give me all your troubled thoughts
And baggage you can't handle, no
We'll gladly take it off your back (we soak up lots of pain), yeah
(Chorus)
Is it any wonder now-everybody goes insane
Everybody locks the door to keep out any strangers
Everybody's all pent up--everybody's got short fuse
Getting ready to blow up, we live in so much danger
Boys and girls in a line -- Come and get your big reward
Your're not too late Just in time
Put your hand on mine you're mine you're mine
When everybody has gone to bed--and children are asleep, yeah
I sit up late and watch t.v. (and soak up lots of pain), yeah
Little junior on the bus--his notebook by his side, yeah
He hardly ever makes a fuss--he soaks up so much pain
We've traveled far this monkey and me--by airplane boat and train, yeah
We're here to eat up all your sins (and soak up all your pain), yeah
(Chorus)
Boys and girls of every creed--religion and persuasion, nooo
It's time to get up off your knees...we soak up...soak it up
So open the door and let me in--don't question who I am, no
I don't feel the way I've ever felt
I know
I'm gonna smile and not get worried
I try but it shows
Anyone can make what I have built
And better now
Anyone can find the same white pills
It takes my pain away
It's a lie, a kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back
Anything but bother me
It takes my pain away
Never mind these are hurried times
Oh oh, I can't let it bother me
I never thought I'd walk away from you
I did
But it's a false sense of accomplishment
Every time I quit
Anyone can see my every flaw
It isn't hard
Anyone can say they're above this all
It takes my pain away
It's a lie, a kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back
Anything but bother me
It takes my pain away
Never mind these are hurried times
Oh oh, I can't let it bother me
I can't let it bother me
It takes my pain away
It's a lie, a kiss with open eyes
And she's not breathing back
Anything but bother me
It takes my pain away
Never mind these are hurried times
Oh oh, I can't let it bother me
It takes my pain
It takes my pain
It takes my pain
Wake of the flood, laughing water, forty-nine,
Get out the pans, don't just stand there dreamin'
Get out of the way, get out of the way,
Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.
Line up a long shot maybe try it two times, maybe more,
Good to know you got shoes to wear when you find the floor,
Why hold out for more?
Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.
Askin' you nice, now, keep the mother rollin'
One more time, been down before,
You just don't have to go no more, no more.
Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine.
Well, I believe in magic
Ain't it kinda tragic
When you find out
Angels can be devils
You were never on the level
With me, babe, at all
Pain, pain, pain
I got this pain, pain
Sittin' on a midnight train
Well now, winners can be losers
Beggars can be choosers
I'll get over you somehow
It's gonna take a little time
To put you to the back
Of my mind forever
Pain, pain
Shootin' down the length of my brain
I got this pain
Nothin' is the same, yeah
Love is a victim
Love is a victim of pain
Ain't no doubt about it, girl
Love is a victim of pain
I'm lonely, I don't know what to do
About you, babe
I'm lonely and I don't know what to
I don't know what to do
About you, babe
Loneliness is such a drag
[Incomprehensible]
Pain, pain
Shootin' down the length of my brain
I got this pain
No one is to blame
Love is a victim
Love is a victim of pain
Ain't no doubt about it
Love is a victim
Again and again and again and again
And again and again and again and again
And again and again and again and again
Ain't no doubt about it
Pain, pain, pain
(Love is a victim of pain)
Pain, pain, pain
(Love is a victim of pain)
Pain, pain, pain
Pain, pain, pain
(Love is a victim, love is a victim of pain)
Pain, pain, pain
Pain, pain, pain
There's times in my life where I just
I just wanna run away, I just
I just wish the pain would stop
I don't wanna cry no more
I wish the pain would go away
Start a day, bad hands make it hard to deal
Sometimes I wanna pull it, end it all with a bullet
Hard to live life to the fullest with all this bullshit
Mad as fuck, a nigga had enough
From jump street, saw my father murder massacre slain
One shot took half of his brain, I recapture the pain
Twenty-three years, three when it happened
Twenty-six now, still I can't stop the tears
Then my mood switch, thinkin about this sheisty bitch
Kinda funny cause they fake it when they callin you honey
On your dick when they think a nigga, might be rich
That's when I shit, cause I know you fuck with me for my money
Learned the hard way, ain't no correctin the grief
Baby moms starts sexin, my so-called beef
Don't give a fuck if they Marked me For Death like Steven
or relievin your breathin, long as I'm even 'fore I'm leavin
Pain...
I wish this pain, would go away
We're talkin about the kind of pain that
I wish this pain, would go away
just gets all up in your heart, and in your soul
I wish this pain, would go away
The kind of pain that makes you feel like you can't go on no more
I wish this pain, would go away
The kind of pain that I wouldn't wish on anyone
I can't relate to them cats who hold gats at the gate
Is it my fate, am I that nigga, that they love to hate
Solely, slowly, cause I rock a Roley they want my brain gone
Cause of a fuckin chain on?
Migraine's on, now the pain's warm, I stagger
And I'm hopin I don't know the cat with the dagger
Penetratin my heart, rushed thoughts etched in grief
To the City College deceased may you rest in peace
To the families, I never meant to cause no pain
I know the truth, but if you want, then I shoulder the blame
Overcome at times by uncontrollable flames, and multiple pains
Now it seems like I'm goin insane
For the love of you and hip-hop I expand the news
But before my shit drops, I stand accused
Don't you think I wish we all was rich?
One for all it's pain to see your people when they all can't ball
The pain..
I wish this pain, would go away
I wish this pain, would go away
I don't wanna give no more pain
I wish this pain, would go away
I don't wanna receive no more pain
I wish this pain, would go away
God, please take the pain away
I can still hear the shots that left my man Big layin
on my knees cryin and prayin, then I said
"God why? Got to know how hard we try
Don't let him die, please don't let my nigga be dead"
But it was too late, California sealed his fate
Gone now, hard to move on now, fuck making songs now
Wish I could die, I could fly
If they don't give a fuck, fuck it why should I?
That's when Big spoke, pulled up in a glistening 3
with platinum wings and said, "Puff listen to me"
He puts his hands on my head and said "I live through you
Make hits continuous, this is what we do
I know it might be strenous and times is hard
Just keep the faith cause now we rhyme with God
Plus you owe it to yourself and don't forget the kids"
That's when I opened up my eyes and new Bad Boy lives
I wish this pain, would go away
I wish this pain, would go away
One day the pain is gonna stop
I wish this pain, would go away
One day there's gonna be no more pain
I wish this pain, would go away
I'm tellin you man
now don't let these motherfuckers fuck your shit up God
I don't give a fuck WHO it is
Don't let em fuck yo' paper man, please Big
Focus your mind man, do your albums, make them hot joints
man fuck these niggaz man
Fuck these niggaz man
And I'ma tell the same thing to you
When you get your shit done, watch your money, and
hopefully, I pray for you, you be the shit
And soon motherfuckers start screamin your name out
like they screamin all these other, so-called hot niggaz
Never take your eyes off that shit yo
Try to get everything you can out of these motherfuckers yo
Ain't no guarantee they gonna love you next year...
I wish this pain, would go away
I wish this pain, would go away
One day the pain is gonna stop
I wish this pain, would go away
One day there's gonna be no more pain
I wish this pain, would go away
One day the pain is gonna stop
I wish this pain, would go away
Puh..P,P,Pain Give Me
Pain
Gimme Sympathy
Pain Gimme
yeah..
Pain
Gimme Sympathy
Oh, Pain Gimme Me
Yeah..
Deep Down In My Heart
There's a Feeling
Like a Burning Explosion
And a Hundred Emotion
Over you..
Over You..
Pain, Gimme
Sympathy
Pain Gimme
Yeah..
Pain
Gimme Sympathy
Oh, Pain Gimme
WoOoh..
Deep Down In My Heart
There's a Feeling
Like a Burning Explosion
And a Hundred Emotion
Over you..
[Chorus: unknown singer]
I've been goin through so much pain
Can't no motherfucker feel my pain
My life is real nigga, I'm gon' ride
For my homies on the block that died
It's dedicated to my niggaz that's locked
Who's OT on the run from the cops
We straight G's and we never gon' stop
For my street niggaz gotta keep your head up
Gotta keep your head uuuuuuuuuup
[Verse One]
Where the fuck is your love, y'all in the club poppin bub
Somebody told me that the block need a hug
Ain't nobody tell y'all that slap need a hug
That's the reason I'm out here huggin the block
Same reason I'm out here thuggin the block
But niggaz won't notice until a motherfucker get shot
And stretched out on the block, and the shit won't hit 'em
'til they like "God damn, I was just now with him"
Now you missin a man that you used to call your man
Cause you didn't notice your man was fucked up in a jam
And your plan that you had for your man, you shoulda brought it to him sooner
Now he fucked up with his back all chewed up
21 gun salute up, to all the G's feelin pain
like Fame; niggaz fucked up in the game
Niggaz try to maintain, even if nobody showed you
that they noticin what a nigga been goin through... nigga
[Chorus]
[Billy Danze]
Yeah, every day what we deal, we tend to blame it on the realness
Haters never cater to a 'Ville nigga feeling
Mixed up in the past and the present
A lot of shit, went down in the town am I destined, to win or not
That's the question, you can always count on Bill
to reveal the message, when givin a confession
In other words there's a blessing in the lesson
You ain't gotta stick to the script to catch it (catch it)
We had a whole platoon of goons to rep
Then it was like... BOOM, there's 7 of us left
Some got knocked and locked inside cages
A few got popped and stopped at young ages
Enables me to rock hip-hop with these rages
And boomerang pain through Fame when on stages
It's dark and it's bold
I keep a heater cause I'm smart and it's cold
[Chorus]
[Lil' Fame]
I'm holdin on to thin air! (Look around homey)
Nobody there! (Look around homey)
Nobody care! (I bet you know now homey)
But life is still beautiful, that's what you do it for
Couldn't feel my pain; God forbid you had
to feel my pain I wouldn't wish that on nobody
Never ask why me? That's a stupid-ass question
Cause if not me, nigga then who?
We all deal with pain, and mine ain't no harder than yours
It's really all about how you deal with it
So a nigga can't judge me; I can't tell you how
to deal with yours, but don't kill me [words fade]
[Billy Danze]
(We're amongst these O.G.'s and rebels) the coppertops will (never)
If money war (we steppin in) please (understand it)
For always we (reppin it) and y'all ain't (touchin it)
The ghetto steel (blessin 'em) man
(alvina eileen sy)
The thoughts I have of you I treasure
The good times and the bad
We'll share forever more
Somehow, you've changed
We just didn't make it through
But I believe that one day
You'll have to know
That I'm still in love with you
At times we couldn't understand each other
And though we tried we couldn't keep from fallin'
Somehow, somewhere our love had lost it's way
And now I feel it's over, it's hard to say
But I love you just the same
Refrain:
Oh, it's been so long
Since I had you by my side
I don't even know what to say or do
I tried so hard to get you off my mind
But I love you still try to understand
When I'm all alone...
I still can feel the pain you've left behind
The thoughts I have of you I treasure
The good times and the bad
We'll share forever more
Somehow, you've changed
We just didn't make it through
But I believe that one day
You'll have to know
That I'm still in love with you
At times we couldn't understand each other
And though we tried we couldn't keep from fallin'
Somehow, somewhere our love had lost it's way
And now I feel it's over, it's hard to say
But I love you just the same
Oh, it's been so long
Since I had you by my side
I don't even know what to say or do
I tried so hard to get you off my mind
But I love you please try to understand
When I'm all alone...
I still can feel the pain you've left behind
The thoughts I have of you I'll always treasure
The good times and the bad
We'll share forever more
Somehow, somewhere our love will find a way
And I believe that one day
I'll hear you'll say that you love me all the way
All the way, ohhh
Love me all the way...
Love me, love me all the way
Love me all the way, baby
Pap-pap-pap-para-rap-pap-pap
Love me, love me all the way...
Love me, hear you say you love me
All the way...
All the way...
I believe that one day
I will hear you say
Agony - Inside my head
Making me wish - wish that I was dead
For all the dues in life that I have paid
I've been caught
locked in a world of rage
I look inside myself,
I see a great big blank
I look around me
and there is no one to thank
I think about the crazy shit
that I have done
This game of life - can it be won?
Pain
Pain - feel my agony
as it turns into my rage
in life full of anguish
can't you see I live in
Hell - becomes misery
metamorphasizing hate
I contemplate my demise
can't you feel my pain?
Searching for a better way
In a world with it's eyes closed
I wake up in the morning
in a cold sweat
when I think of your loving
you're holding back
I know I'm waiting
but it's all in vain
I sit here dying
just to breathe again
can't go on
can't get enough
when I miss you
I'm so alone
without you, without you
I'm walking on the border
of wrong and right
screaming for you baby
to ease my mind
no one is here who can get me through
all I need is a word from you
I know I'm waiting
but it's all in vain
I sit here dying to feel love again
can't go on
can't get enough
when I miss you
I'm so alone
In pain
time and time again
it's running through my veins
oh take away this pain
the darkness in my heart
let me breathe again
take away this pain
I'm talking to the shadow
on the wall
waiting for an answer
before I fall
am I dreaming
or are you near
were you calling
just to ease my fear
Am I waiting all in vain
I sit here dying
to feel loved again
I can't go on
can't get enough
cos' I miss you
I miss your love
I'm in pain
time and time again
it's running through my veins
oh can you free my heart
the darkness in my head
let me breathe again
take away this pain
On the t.v. or in the news
on the front page you can choose
you know someone someone strong
you know someone doing something wrong
pain
pain
it's reflecting in the mud
are there circles in your blood?
even warm days have to rain
but that fast horse has a slippery mane
pain I know it isn't easypain when all your friends are sleazy
when no one around would come down
arms only enough to reach down
pain
pain
pain
pain
Agony and ecstacy
Your cries of pain my pleasure
To know my machine internally
Your torment I treasure
Lifeblood combines with semen
Your screaming my laughter
The compressor is running smoothly
'Tis vengeance I am after
PainBegging becomes your lovesong
You're dying
I masturbate
For the crime of burning me
I give to thee
Jackhammerape
Hatred obsessing me
Hatred possessing me
Anger burning me
Anger turning me
Into someone I don't know
Rage shaking me
Rage making me
Into someone I don't know
I'll kill you tonight

[Puff Daddy In Child's Voice]
Uncle Puffy?
Can you read us a bedtime story, please?
Huh? Please?
[Puff Daddy]
Alright check this out right here
Woke up smoked up, broked up
What I had left and rolled up, lit it
Had a shorty that I brought home, hit it
Sent her on her way, I got no time today
(Yo, I'mma call you next week, aight?)
With all this work I got no time to play (OK)
Cash come and go, and I want mine to stay
Alot of these fake cats won't mind the day
I get an unfair play, then the stairway
That's why I'm like TWA, the airway
Niggas wantin' to believe what they heard through hear-say
Hopin', but forget it
Check the mail, it's a letter from jail, from Hoboken
I open and I read it, it said
[G-Dep]
What da deal son?
It's ya nigga Teals in the field, and it's real son
I'mma have to steal one
Caught up on the run with a gun
Can't walk with it down then you can't conceal one
What to do?
I dont' know if ya knew, that kid, True?
Up in 1-2-2, he plottin' to get you
I hear he's due
You just do what need doin'
Let's not forget these niggas could bleed too , one
[Puffy]
OK, good
Those cats don't keep it real as they should
Heard they don't pay good
Stand around all day wishin' they could
But this green fufills they dreams
They ain't a team
Answering machine on screen
Phone rings, it was Arlene from Queens
Head was mean, had a head for schemes
Told her she get head to see me
But she play her hand proper, nothin' can stop her
[Female]
Hey yo, what up Playboy?
I'm out in Saint Croix
With sun cats that say they real
But they toys
I heard ya doin' it though
And you in the flow
Some niggas wanna ruin ya show?
What up, yo?
Whathchu want a rich shot up on his block?
Or I could leave him in his bed dead, with his dick robbed
[Puffy]
Na Boo, I'mma show you how I do
Just hit me when you get up top
But come on through (Aight)
Now I'm doin' inventory
Guns, clips, vest, bullets
So when I pull it, it's the end of story
Leadin' my men to glory
Then get shorty to hold a pound for me
I know she down for me
Yeah, sneak up on 'em like a car thief
These niggas mad cause it's my party
And my Benz is wide-bodied
Despise me, like the feds despise Ghotti
That I kill for a hobby and lay in your lobby
So try me, go 'head and take a bite
Might as well say good night
Try to put me in the dark, I don't take it light
Now if it's wrong, make it right
Not tommorow, tonight
They barkin', I know the bite
Jumped in the B-N-Z
Niggas gonna see the E-N-D fuckin' with me
See, I knew he was a snake out the ground
Make me wanna call my man rock and break out the hounds
Take it to the pier where you can't make out the sounds
Thoughts in my head goin' 'round, it's goin' down
Pull up to his block, I'mma put it to his knock
But, I don't see him, wouldn't wanna be in town
Ride around for a minute
Thinkin' 'bout the pain that Hell brings
Interrupted by a cell ring
Yeah yeah
[Female] Hey Boo come and get me, I'm here
[Puffy] Where?
[Female] Teterboro
Give me a few
It was like I flew
But it felt kinda strange, it was like I knew
Pulled up around 2, late like I do
With the urge to bug
She gave me a nervous hug
And when I heard the slugs
What I saw in the blur was thugs
Tryin' to soak my fur with blood
Dropped to the curb and ducked
Pulled out the fifth, duck behind a car
Like "How I'm gon' get out this shit?"
These niggas don't know what they about to get
A one way ticket to Hell in my gun jail
Bust my gun at three and one fell
The other two, waitin' to see what I'mma do
[G-Dep]
Hope you brought your arms
Cuz you're gonna need 'em to hold me
[Puffy]
Peeped around the car slowly
Then I let 'em have the whole wheat
Man there's six million ways to die
And you chose me, but I'm an OG
And in the distance is police
I'm still bustin', tryin' to kill something
And I can't hide the fact that I peeled something
I feel this thing, like in a minute I won't feel a thing
The two cats jumped in the blue Ac'
I fired one shot, they fired two back
They murked off in the night
I get them fools back, man they ain't seen the last of me
But I'm bleeding rapidly
Shot up in the stomach and that wasn't how it had to be
Heartbeat failin', car alarm wailin'
Couldn't walk straight then the firearm failed
Now I'm thinkin' how this bitch played me
Then I faded
Before the summer fell I already knew
She said I was more than dead
I already knew
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, I just can't take this anymore
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, a knife behind the eyes, a vicious size
Again
I miss my best friend, a growing fear
A lot to sacrifice
Or draw to an end
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, I just can't take this anymore
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, a knife behind the eyes, a vicious size
Again, again, again, again, again, again
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, I just can't take this anymore
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, a knife behind the eyes
A vicious, vicious, vicious pain
Pain, here it comes
Pain, here it comes
locked in a still position
swaying back and forth
needles in my arms
broken inside
my chest rips open
and blood runs on the floor
sealing my heart
gazing at a wall
in some dark corner
somewhere in time
try to make sense
relation unknown
alone, alone, alone
in pain, and pain, in pain
fear is here
bleeding inside
oh, you will remind
the anger all lost in fear
i never lied to you
you always lied to me
what the fuck is the difference?
i'm sitting here bleeding inside, inside, inside
it's no big deal
it's no big deal
wrapped in lies
close your eyes
see the pain
locked inside
ripped open for a fucking dollar
a green piece of paper shatters my life
twisted up until i scream
let me go, release me
release me, release me, release me
crying out, hearing sounds
but the feeling got lost away
in some forgotten song
they said, they said
to close my eyes and dream away
dream away, but the pain
the pain didn't go away
it never goes away, it didn't go away
it never goes away
i'm lying in sound
oh, and you, and dream
i'm breaking down
a thousand years, and all the tears
and feelings locked inside, locked inside
tide of emotion
blood, rain, and tears
ruined all the years, ruined all the years
they told me that i was never here
Play the record...
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy, pain, pain
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy, pain, pain
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy, pain, pain
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy, pain, pain
Boy I thought that we'd last forever, I could see it in your eyes
Threw my hand and lead me blindly, to believe in all your lies
But now the truth is in the open, and it's all on you (all on you, all on you)
You leave me so heartbroken, can't you see that you're killing me
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy (crazy over you) pain, pain
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy (crazy...) pain, pain
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy (baby you drive me crazy) pain, pain
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy, pain, pain
You know I wish that you wouldn't lie to me
But some wishes don't come true (don't come true)
Time to put the past behind, say goodbye and start anew
Move on, be gone, it's over... uh
Now you're all alone (baby)
And I know that you wished that you were here with me...
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy, pain, pain
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy (going, going out my mind) pain, pain
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy (you bring me so much pain) pain, pain
All you do is bring me pain (I can't bare to be with you no more) pain, pain
Sup with you, you know it's not fair
You pay me no attention, when I'm standing right there
Baby it's all good, and it's all right
You're gonna regret this for the rest of your life
Cause I'm going on tour, I'm about to blow up
When you see me on TV, and know you messed up
So remember this song and remember my name
It's Ashley and Dream and we changed the game
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy, pain, pain
All you do is bring me pain, Boy you crazy, pain, pain
All you do is bring me pain
(Said to give you my heart and you broke it babe)
Boy you crazy, pain, pain
(Because of you I'm going crazy)
All you do is bring me pain
(I just can't take it no more)
Boy you crazy, pain, pain
(Turn around, walk out the door)
Uh..., uh, uh (pain, pain)
Uh..., uh, uh (pain, pain)
Uh..., uh, uh (pain, pain)
Uh..., uh, uh (boy you crazy...)
Said to give you my heart and you broke it babe
Because of you I'm going crazy (pain, pain)
I just can't take it no more
Turn around, walk out the door (pain, pain)
Said to give you my heart and you broke it babe
Because of you I'm going crazy (pain, pain)
I just can't take it no more
Turn around, walk out the door (pain, pain)
Fade away
So you don’t make a scene
close your mouth and try keeping it closed forever
Afraid of what you are
Afraid of how you
Learn to close your mouth and try keeping it closed forever
If you had the mind to just check out
Its something better that nothing
I’m not the type to scream and shout
(yeah)
Pain
In pains me just to see you with
rather be lost in a river without you
Pain, pain, pain.
You made your point
You don’t know what to say
close your mouth and try keeping it closed forever

Pain, pain, pain.
shamed of what you are and what you been
It must be hard living tired in your shoes
Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame
So cry bad day
Grey clouds, black haze
So sure the sun could collapse your ways
So cry bad day
(So cry bad day)
So cry bad day

Shame, shame, shame

Pain
Keep your mouth closed [x6]
Give me a choice between pleasure and pain
I choose pain
Another day without a heartbeat
How can your heart beat
If they've taken it away
For the first time, just don't think about it
Take the water and wash your face with pain
You can take away the power
Your finest hour
It's when you laugh in their faces
For the first time just forget about it
Take a hammer and pound yourself with pain
Bury my bones on the moon
If they never should find me it would be too soon
Give me a choice between power and pain
I choose pain
Oh, bury my bones on moon
If they never should find me it would be too soon
For the first time just forget about
Take the water and wash your face with pain
Pain
Oh just forget about pain
Forget about the pain
Speak up, you know what is up
Code of silence, who set you up?
Some shit so wrong in this world
All fucked up, now you're gone
Speak up, you know what went on
How could you let it go?
It's murder you covered up
Stained blood on your soul
Down on my knees
Hands stretched to Heaven above
Christ, this pain is hard to live with
Don't fill my heart with love
Engulf my heart with vengeance
You need to see our pain
Don't fill this heart with love
The truth needs to be told
You can't mask pain, my pain, our pain
You can't mask pain, my pain, our pain
You can't mask pain, my pain, our pain
You can't mask pain, my pain, our pain
You can't mask pain, my pain, our pain

You can't mask pain, my pain, our pain
You can't mask pain, my pain, our pain
You can't mask pain, my pain, our pain
Somewhere between the lies and truths, borderlines get shady.
Somewhere between the yeses and nos you can find a maybe.
Somewhere between the highs and lows you can spot the middle.
Somewhere between the questions and clues you can solve the riddle
Somewhere along the road you might need a place to stay.
Somewhere along the line you're gonna have to pass away.
And somewhere in space you still remind me of a reason.
And summertime you still smell like my favorite season.
And it feels like pain...
It's just like pain...
Love is like pain...
Some people like pain...
Somewhere between the mountain and sea a river is flowing
Somewhere between the earth and the sky, the winds of change are blowing
Somewhere between the two of us a space is growing
Somewhere between suspicion and trust are the things worth knowing.
Somewhere along the road you might want to hitch a ride
Somewhere along the line you're gonna have to swallow your pride
Somewhere inside you still remind me of a feeling
Somewhere deeper still are wounds that are not healing.
Put your nails in my hand....Pain
Fill my eyes up with sand...Pain
Papercuts on my tongue...Pain
We're right now where we begun...Pain
Somehow I only hurt the ones who really mattered
Somehow she played her role although her soul was battered
Someday soon I know my ashes will be scattered
Fade away
So you don’t make a scene

I, I never really meant to hurt you bad
I, I just sent a computer error
I, I just want to control your whole life
I, I just keep you hooked up to my line
Hey, little bitch
Don't you know it's supposed to work
Hey, little bitch
Your my supersonic bitch
Now I'm hooked back up
I got you on my screen
All I can do is press and turn
And you spread your legs in the screen
I know I've explored
Every inch of your naked body
And then you start to bore me
I press delete and search for a new target
Hey, little bitch
Don't you know it's supposed to work
Hey, little bitch
Why can't you come here and give me a kiss
Hey, little bitch
You will always get what you deserve
Hey, little bitch
Your my supersonic bitch
Hey, little bitch
Don't you know it's supposed to work
Hey, little bitch
Why can't you come here and give me a kiss
Hey, little bitch
You will always get what you deserve
Hey, little bitch
Why do we have to live in fear?
The future's looking dark
No one seems to care
It's a shame, it keeps pounding my head
I feel sick, is there someone to blame?
Now where do we go
When there's nowhere to turn?
It's starting to show
Will we ever learn?
Countdown to extinction
It has only begun
We're heading for extinction
To be one with the sun
The sun is burning through our skin the blood is boiling hot
Cancer's spreading out
I see the end is closing in
The world is turning black, acid rain
It's a shame, it keeps pounding my head
I feel sick, is there someone to blame?
Now where do we go
When there's nowhere to turn?
It's starting to show
Will we ever learn?
Do you feel ready to die?
Or have you changed your mind?
Countdown to extinction
It has only begun
We're heading for extinction
To be one with the sun
Now where do we go
When there's nowhere to turn?
It's starting to show
These visions in my head
The friendly faces
I don't know maybe it's me
It feels like they're in my mind
And feasting of my brain
Uuuh don't you feel the same?
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
I'm trapped in my DNA
No time to waste
Spies are in my closet and under my bed
I'm losing this scary game
Crack me like the whip
Please crack me sane
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
Darling stop confusing me
With your wishful thinking
Hopeful embraces
Don't you understand?
I have to go through this
I belong to here, where
No one cares and no one loves
No light no air to live in
A place called hate
The city of fear
I play dead
It stops the hurting
I play dead
And hurting stops
It's sometimes just like sleeping
Curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain
Hug suffering
Caress ever ache
I play dead
Yeah! Go!
The touch of magic that you thought you once had
Was wiped out with that smile you forced on your face
You hide your horns and try to bury things in your hate
There's no give and take in your ugly race
Lie after lie
Through the same mistakes again
It's always the same
Time after time
Trying to save us from ourselves
But you're always too late
I'm not gonna take this shit and I'm not gonna drown
Again and again you set the rules for us to lay it down
Suits and ties decide your destiny from dollar signs
And when the goddamn boat starts to sink they don't
care who's left behind
World domination
Tries to save us
Death our savior
Termination
Step right up people and vote for your favorite
disaster
They're all corrupted so it doesn't really matter
At night their limos pulling up to the clubs
Expensive dinners whores on government's credit cards
They've done this for years then they get busted in
their act
Then you sit and cry in court and say you'll pay it
back
Lie after lie
Through the same mistakes again
It's always the same
Time after time
Trying to save us from ourselves
But you're always too late
I'm not gonna take this shit and I'm not gonna drown
Again and again you set the rules for us to lay it down
Suits and ties decide your destiny from dollar signs
And when the goddamn boat starts to sink they don't
care who's left behind
I'm not gonna take this shit
I'm not gonna drown
I'm not gonna take this shit
We all are crying for the life we can not get
The mystery of mankinds complex DNA
We're running out of meaning
We're running out of being alive
We have no purpose breathing
Might as well just spit and die
Live fast, die young
Who cares about the world when it soon will be gone
Burn fast, die hard
There is no future and there's nowhere to run
I won't support the lies of saving our world
We're already out of time and soon we all gonna burn
The climate is big business, everyone is trying to make a dime
We have no purpose breathing
Might as well just spit and die...
Live fast, die young
Who cares about the world when it soon will be gone
Burn fast, die hard
There is no future and there's nowhere to run
The floods and hurricanes harvest lives
It's just a taste of cynic paradise... we're all gonna die
Live fast, die young
Who cares about the world when it soon will be gone
Burn fast, die hard
My dreams are always the same, I see you
Fear is my best friend it keeps me alive
What is it I got that triggers you to follow me day and night?
I can smell your stench all around
I don't know what your demons are telling you
But it ain't me you're looking for
Why? Why won't you leave me alone
It drives me insane
Why? Why won't you just let me go
Stay out of my way
Never sleep with your enemies,
They'll steal all that you got
Framed by the lust
You spin out of controll
I don't know what your demons are telling you
But it ain't me you're looking for
Why? Why won't you leave me alone
It drives me insane
Why? Why won't you just let me go
Stay out of my way
Don't mess with my head
What triggers you I don't understand
Why? why won't you leave me alone
It drives me insane
Why? Why won't you just let me go
Never done a hard day's work
In your whole life
Born with a silver spoon
Shoved down your throat
I don't care, I don't care, no
I don't care, I don't care about you
So you think
You're better than me
No matter how much money you got
You still bleed
I don't care, I don't care, no
I don't care, I don't care about you
I don't care, I don't care, no
I don't care, I don't care about you
Not everything is for sale
Can't buy yourself happiness
Taste it, want it, need it, give me
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the richest motherfucker of them all?
I don't care, I don't care, no
I don't care, I don't care about you
I don't care, I don't care, no
Creeping and Cracking
Baby don't look back, no one goes home tonight
The evil we see and the evil we do
Brings out the beast in me and you
Waking up from screaming
You think it's all in your head
My my, it's a bad day to be alive
It's crawling under your skin and feeds of your hate
Just close your eyes and wait till the sun goes down
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
Fear the demon in me, Fear the demon in you
Hear the voices calling you
Shadow's tongue licking your flesh
Rips the clothes clean of your body
Strip you clean straight down to the bones
You can't stay awake, You can't fall asleep
He's coming for your life
Don't wanna wake up dead, you know you're over your head
There ain't no turning back
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
Fear the demon in me, Fear the demon in you
Laying in sweet tears
Dreams are turning into a living hell
The nightmares you see and the terror you feel
Takes a turn for the worse and becomes real
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
I've been driving down the dark and strange highways
And I've lived it all, it's all a part of my life
I sold my soul to the devil
A desperate man in desperate times
Too blind to see
Living on the lies that feed me illusions
I keep falling
Falling into selfish bliss, crashing down
I am crawling
Crawling through remains of bitterness
We've all been going through hell
It doesn't matter who you are
You come out a stronger man
You used to see the world in gray
(?) Burn on and cold in bed (?)
Now you're too old to give a damn
Too blind to see
Living on the lies that feed me illusions
(?) Pretend to live (?), kills my enemies
I keep falling
Falling into selfish bliss, crashing down
I am crawling
Crawling through remains of bitterness
Unseen, is there anybody out there?
Unheard, can you hear me screaming?
I keep falling
Falling into selfishness, crashing down
I am crawling
Crawling through remains of bitterness
I am falling
Woke up this morning
with my head in the dirt
Master of disaster has raped my soul again
I feel like shit and my body hurts
What did I do?
Can't remember a thing
Not a thing
It's constant battle
And the bottle always wins
I wanna go all the way
Down the bottle's nest
I'm gonna go all the way
Why pretend?
I'm falling
Another day
Another party
Another toast
I slam the drink
And I almost fall
And the madness is ready to choke my throat
It doesn't matter
It won't hurt at all
Not at all
I've stopped fighting the bottle
'Cause the bottle always wins
I wanna go all the way
Down the bottle's nest
I'm gonna go all the way
Why pretend?
Pour me another drink
Oh how I need it bad
Pour me another drink
Pour it down my throat
I wanna go all the way
Down the bottle's nest
I'm gonna go all the way
My little girl
Drive anywhere
Do what you want
I don't care
Tonight
I'm in the hands of fate
I hand myself
Over on a plate
Oh little girl
There are times when I feel
I rather not be
The one behind the wheel
Come
Pull my strings
Watch me move
I do anything
Please
Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger
Drive
I'm yours to keep
Do what you want
I'm going cheap
Tonight
How does it feel to get kicked
When you're down and out?
I said, "How does it feel to get pushed off the edge
And just fall fall to the ground?"
The more that you do, the less you get
Why can't see you you're going down?
You're on your knees, you're begging me please
Can't get away from the needle's chill
You're taking a ride in endless time
Injected paradise
Silence roll up like walls of noise
You're getting numb and deaf
Things are getting out of control
You're out of control
The more that you do, the less you get
The poison rushing through your dying veins
The more that you take, the more you loose
Time is taking its toll
You're on your knees, you're begging me please
Can't get away from the needle's chill
You're taking a ride in endless time
Injected paradise
The more that you do, the less you get
The poison rushing through your dying veins
The more that you take, the more you loose
Time is taking its toll
You're on your knees, you're begging me please
Can't get away from the needle's chill
You're taking a ride in endless time
They have destoyed your whole life
Ever since you were born they've
Dragged you down
They have decided that you wont
Have a chance in this shitty world
not knowing what's on the outside
Can't understand right or wrong
Breathe in the poisoned air
"I just wanna die"
burning eyes filled with dead tears
The world is dying on you
And you just turning your back
not knowing what's on the outside
Poisoning our brainwashed mind
They have decided that you will die
A painful death
Breathe the death
our dying race
Breathe the death
Dying race
Life doesn't work out as planned
Visions of happiness are burning
Dreams that turn into madness
I feel the end is closing in
I can feel my soul leaving me
To dwell in nothing and forever disappear
Trying to breathe but there's no air
My heart is bleeding why am I here
Taste the last drops of life
That vanish into the black sun
I must fight this feeling
Of sorrow slowly killing me
Try to breathe but there's no air
My heart is bleeding why am I here
Taste the last drops of life
Hangman, Is it me your looking for
I don't think I'm ready to leave
Crushed by society, I don't understand
Victim of reality, I crawl back in my shell
Nobody lives forever
Everything begins where it ends
Confusion in my own desperation
I'm the chosen one to suffer
Are you really gonna leave me crying
Are you really gonna leave me drowning
Are you really gonna leave medying
Are you really gonna let me down
I am a perfect death
I'm on the edge
I am the freak
And no one cares
Are you really gonna leave me crying
Are you really gonna leave me drowning
Are you really gonna leave medying
Trapped in a nightmare called life
With no sign of exit I am gonna die
My soul is filled with hate
Can't see through my anger
My selfconfidence has been dead for years
How can I live this life
I've been destroyed a thousand times
Still try to stand tall
Don't know how long I can fight back
With the rope around my neck
You get feed of my misery
Stabbing the knife deep in my back
I can't run and hide from myself
Selfdestructive schizophrenic behaviour
Can't run away form myself
There's no way to escape
Don't know how long I can fight back
With the rope around my neck
Cutting myself wide open
Release the blood
Watch the madman float away
But not knowing it's killing me
Cutting myself wide open
Release the blood
Im slippin´ away as it's
The only thing I ever wanted, the only thing I ever needed
is my own way - I gotta have it all
I don't want your opinion, I don't need your ideas
stay the fuck out of my face, stay away from me
I am my own god - I do as I please
just wipe your own ass and - shut your mouth
I had enough and you're going down - shut your mouth
what comes around you know goes around
my mind is playing tricks on me
I am not as stable as I used to be
pushed and shoved, you know you're going too far
I will not break my back for you no more, I am gonna go my
I am gonna take control
time to wake up and dig myself out of this hell
just wipe your own ass and - shut your mouth
I had enough and you're going down - shut your mouth
what comes around you know goes around - shut your mouth
You're getting what your ego deserves - shut your mouth
what comes around you know goes around - shut your mouth
shut your mouth
I had enough and you're going down - shut your mouth
what comes around you know goes around
shut your mouth
shut your mouth
Waking up from this dream
Got a feeling that something is wrong
There's blood in the bodies everywhere
What the hell have I done
Was I walking in my sleep or is it just a conspiracy
All I know that I'm in too deep
Save me
Please wake me up from this dream
Save me
How am I supposed leave
I lost my family, lost my jobs and my friends
There's nothing left for me to live in this hell
All I remember is there was said goodnight
And on my life is living hell
Save me
Please wake me up from this dream
Save me
How am I supposed leave
Save me
Please wake me up from this dream
Save me
Where the hell did I do wrong
Where I go wrong
I need the pictures in my dreams
Where in every deposit is
Then I'm ever gonna be dream
I can't erase your memory
Save me
Please wake me up from this dream
Save me
How am I supposed leave
save me
Please wake me up from this dream
Save me
Where the hell did I do Wrong
Save me
Where I go wrong
Learn how to live
Learn how to breathe
Learn how to kill
Learn how to die
Raped by my own life
Suffocated by my own lungs
Murdered by my own hands
Dead by my own death
Stuck in my own nightmare
I can't understand
What did I do wrong
To deserve this pain
PAIN!!!
Dealing with my own hate
all I get is pain
Shadows hunting me
All I do is freak
Insanity is getting closer now
How long can I survive
The greed I get from this world
Is sucking me dry
Learn how to live
Learn how to breathe
Learn how to kill
I gotta think of something
to make you think less
of me, that I am nothing
to hold on to, cause we are through
I dislike you
I wish that you could hate me
then things would be so easy
just get me off your mind
if the bitch would have a son
then I would be the one
so hate me
geese, flying from the winter
that's what I should do, do, do
or become a sprinter
and run away
cause we are through
I dislike you
I wish that you could hate me
then things would be so easy
just get me off your mind
if the bitch would have a son
then I would be the one
I am being mean
like no one's ever been
just hate me...
I wish that you could hate me
then things would be so easy
I'm going for a ride
And I hope I'll never ever get back here again
Numbing my body with drugs and lies
Try to find a place where
I can finally die
Walk with me on the other side
and I show what life is all about
The rush I get from death
It's all that eggs me to die
Every dream must die
As I try to drag you down in the dirt
Why is life worth living
When we all just life to suffer and Sacrifice
Life is like a wheel
You can run and run and you will never get there
Spinning faster then you could
Understand
You're on your knees again
[Incomprehensible]
I can feel the energy
Feels like I've been up on an experiment on ecstasy
I feel it kicking in again [Incomprehensible]
Your only motive, you're alive you never die
Searching for those sleepless prayers of your life
Come to find out that you been living a lie
Realities reflect the shadows in the night
Did you ever realize how I know
Like nowhere riding around with a gun
Ride around the storm will never stop
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
When all the lucky ones get by
Re-entering a pain called life
Pain is life, life is pain
Searching for those sleepless prayers of your life
Come to find out that you been living a lie
Realities reflect the shadows in the night
Did you ever realize how I know
Like nowhere riding around with a gun
Ride around the storm will never stop
Searching for those sleepless prayers of your life
Come to find out that you been living a lie
Realities reflect the shadows in the night
Did you ever realize how I know
Like nowhere riding around with a gun
Press my face in this dirt
See how long I can hold my breath
Pour some salt in my wounds
I am just someone who doesn't fit in your world
How can I smile with your gun to my head?
How can I reach out when you're holding me back?
I am just so tired of everyone who's trying to save me
Just save yourself
Fade away
I wanna fade away
You give me your hand, I don't want it
I'll rather drown on my own
You try to give me relief, I don't need it
I'll rather put the gun to my head
Bitterness is calling inside
I am already damned
The fire in my soul is slowly dying
You know my destiny calls my name
Fade away
I wanna fade away
Fade away
I feel you breathing down my neck
Nowhere to hide
I thought I could get away
But it's a good day to die
My time has come
But I don't think I am ready yet
I've lost the game
I thought I played so very well
No, I don't wanna go now
I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna go
No, I don't wanna go now
I don't wanna die, I got more to give
Here I stand, the accused
With a rope around my neck
Just wait for the final call
Then I'll be gone
Never got the chance to say goodbye
Never got the chance to take the time to enjoy my life
No, I don't wanna go now
I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna go
No, I don't wanna go now
I don't wanna die, I got more to give
Don't take my life away now
No, I don't wanna go now
I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna go
No, I don't wanna go now
I don't wanna die, I got more to give
No, I don't wanna go now
Speeding through hell and the devil will set your soul
I'm living your life I'll control your face smashed against the wall
Starting the day with a drink and a fat white line
Their pumping you up with drugs and fame and lies
Breathing in breathing out
I look through the dirt six feet under ground
Buried alive let me out
I'll take my last breath lost my heart then I'll die
Chemicals run through your eyes saving you from going insane
The more that you snort the more you fry your brain
Breathing in breathing out
I look through the dirt six feet under ground
Buried alive let me out
Choked by your own lies
God blessed no one
Controlled by your brainwashed mind
A vision of salvation nowhere to be found
Your religion makes me sick
Will your god forgive you for all your sins
Mine will after I rip your fucking head off
I'm my own god
I live my life on my own term
Don't need to tell me what to do
Your whole life has been about kissing ass
Burn in paradise
There is no pearly gate
Burn in paradise
You stick your hands out, I'll cut 'em off
You build it up, I'll make it fall
you wont get any sympathy from me
I'm my own god
I live my life on my own term
Your god can't help you now
Where is your salvation
There is no god
Burn in paradise
There is no pearly gate
Burn in paradise
Choke on your lies
this is an ambient instrumental piece..
There's something coming crawling
'Round the corner of your mind
Oh... your funeral has just begun
Buried alive, it will be over in no time
The date is set for tonight
VIP at the dead man's ball
Come and die with the zombies in the moonlight
They become alive when you die, you cannot fool them
You got to slam with the dead and let it go now
See a thousand hallowed eyes stare into the night
The sun goes down and the dead head minds,
They start to resurrect
Under the velvet sky and thirsty for your flesh
Steals your soul and you will lose control
And turns your tears into dust
You're fool that will never learn
Play with fire and you will get your fingers burned
Come and die with the zombies in the moonlight
They become alive when you die, you cannot fool them
You got to slam with the dead and let it go now
See a thousand hallowed eyes stare into the night
It's getting dark so prepare to die
They're coming after you
It's getting dark and you can't get away
They're coming after you
Come and die with the zombies in the moonlight
They become alive when you die, you cannot fool them
You got to slam with the dead and let it go now
Some people's love is other's hate
Depression, jealousy of other's faith
Some seems just to have it all
But in their shadows
There's a dark life and a broken heart
You need to break away from the chain
No more fears
And set the rules in your own lonely game
Than you only live twice, you only live twice
Shake your money maker
It's time to work
She's got mouths to feed
Dancing with one foot in the dirt
For some it's strugle, for others hell
When the addiction grabs onto you you're under it's spell
You need to break away from the chain
No more fears
And set the rules in your own lonely game
Than you only live twice, you only live twice
Do we all deserve a second chance? Do we care?
Did you fear the devil's hand when you made the deal?
Don't you wanna live twice?
Who took Botus picture? Botu wants it back
He never gave permission, so hand it over, Jack!
Whoever took it: shame! You should have known not to
You have done an awful thing and disrespected Botu
Just picture all your teeth upon a necklace for his wife
Just think about your skin pulled tight,
Slapped silly by your drumstick bones
Bagpipe lungs monkeys from Djibouti & a white man's tongue
You've taken Botu's soul,
You've taken Botu's soul
Your evil camera snatched it up & now there's just a hole!
Who took Botu's picture? Botu wants it back,
He's never been so insulted in all his life
He?s packin' his face in mud, He's dyin' his hair with blood
Don't mean to push, whoever-you-are, but you know what you did, right? Right?
His name is Botu & you know he's superstitious,
Now you've got to get that Polaroid away
His name is Botu & you know he's superstitious,
Now you've got to get that Polaroid away
You've taken Botu's soul,
You've taken Botu's soul
Your evil camera snatched it up & now there's just a hole!
You've taken Botu's soul,
You've taken Botu's soul
Your evil camera snatched it up & now there's just a hole!
You've taken Botu's soul,
You've taken Botu's soul
Your evil camera snatched it up & now there's just a hole!
You've taken Botu's soul,
You've taken Botu's soul
Your evil camera snatched it up & now there's just a hole!
You've taken Botu's soul,
You've taken Botu's soul
Your evil camera snatched it up & now there's just a hole!
There it is, get it!
I never do it for nothing
It's never been for free
I never cared about nothing
Unless it satisfied me
My only game is surviving
And try to stay alive
I'm struggling in the underworld
That suffocates my life
Suicide machine
Locked up in this cage
Suicide machine
I don't understand
They tried to shut me up
They tried to shut me down
They tried to throw me away, I'll never give it up
I'm never gonna stop, I will fight to the end
I'll stand tall, I'll break bones
I'll give them hell
No bullshit and I'm still here
You better catch me dead
Suicide machine
Locked up in this cage
Suicide machine
I don't understand
You have always tried to crush
And break me down
But I will never ever give up
Without a fight
I am the man
And it will always be me
Dreaming of a life in peace
But it was never meant for me
Suicide machine
Locked up in this cage
Suicide machine
I don't understand
Suicide machine
I don't understand
Suicide machine
The nature's abuser
The creature takes what it wants
We have no future, All hope is gone
Just crush the weak, the winner takes it all
Money makes them breathe, but not for long
How can I smile again, when it's all gonna end?
Another smoke screen, another toxic dream
We cannot change 'cause this is what we are
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
Time is ticking and we all will fall
Another oil spill, another black dream
It's not enough to live in this filthy world
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
Time is ticking and we all will fall. We will fall..
When it's all been crushed, then the winner has lost it all
The nature's abuser
The creature takes what it wants
We have no future, All hope is gone
I can not smile again cause I know it's gonna end
Another smoke screen, another toxic dream
We cannot change 'cause this is what we are
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
Time is ticking and we all will fall
Another oil spill, another black dream
It's not enough to live in this filthy world
I want more, you want more, he wants more, she wants more
So how many times do I have to pick myself up
When you're just crushing my life?
So I can carry on
Fill my soul so hollow
I've been down the drain
And washed away
And still I come back for more
I keep my head up high
Always try to walk the line
I'm not like you
My life flashes before my eyes
No, I'm not like you
The truth turns me upside down
Here it comes again
Pain is calling me
And I don't understand
It's just like walking on glass
Here we go again
And I can't turn it off
It's been following my past
It's just like walking on glass
Life's too short but I don't give a fuck
Why try to think like you
I have my own free will
Life is built on sorrow
Fields of burning lies is getting clearer by age
Soon we start to realize
Born and raised in a cage
I'm not like you
My life flashes before my eyes
No, I'm not like you
The truth turns me upside down
Here it comes again
Pain is calling me
And I don't understand
It's just like walking on glass
Here we go again
And I can't turn it off
It's been following my past
It's just like walking on glass
Walk with me
It's getting dark
Walk with me
We'll try to save our broken souls
Here it comes again
Pain is calling me
And I don't understand
It's just like walking on glass
Here we go again
And I can't turn it off
It's been following my past
You can bitch all you want cause I don't care
It's a real fine line between being good and being bad
Might as well crash and burn cause we never ever gonna learn
I rather stick to being a bad boy than being real burned
Now I got your attention
I need to ease my mind
You think you are the main attraction
I am your great pretender
The hero and you savior
I am your great pretender
The alien you surrender to
Now when our future is dark
And it's hard to predict
Can someone please, please tell me, who am I supposed to be
I just keep on rolling till someone stops me
Don't wanna live in the past, I just wanna be me
Now I got your full attention
I need to ease my mind
You think you are the main attraction
I am your great pretender
The hero and you savior
I am your great pretender
The alien you surrender to
Reach for the sky, and I'll be there
Step into the light I'll pull you trough
Just close your eyes and take my pills
I am your great pretender
The hero and you savior
I am your great pretender
The alien you surrender to
Use me as I use you, pull my strings
My money says that you will, that's what I pay you for
Got me served on a plate, do what you want
Show me you care, you're the one in control
The harder you pull my strings, the harder I get
Just a question of time before I lose my mind
It's the game that you play with my head and I can't get enough
Triple sex, almost death, twisted love, the game I cannot bluff
It's the game that you play with my head and I won't get enough
Can't walk away, got to play it all the way
Tight up in this game, this game that I can't quit
Pleasure I get in pain, the pain will keep me sane
Feed my twisted mind, touch my skin with your razor blade
Strip me down to the bone, I'll do anything
The harder you pull my strings, the harder I get
Just a question of time before I lose my mind
The harder you tighten the rope, the harder I get
A slave to my burning desire, a taste of death
It's the game that you play with my head and I can't get enough
Triple sex, almost death, twisted love, the game I cannot bluff
It's the game that you play with my head and I won't get enough
He was a drunk
He was a punk-ass useless slob and he didn't even wanna get a job.
He'd forgotten how to be himself.
They say the world is a stage and every man must play his part,
but he didn't make the call-back list.
He had a five o'clock shadow on his heart.
He was so weak he couldn't even make a fist to punch himself.
She came along, and right away he felt a little less wrong, subsequently just a little more strong - This anomaly flipped his lid.
He checked his hair, and smoothed out the ruffles in his shirt because he suddenly remembered how to flirt.
He took a Tic-Tac (he knew it wouldn't hurt!), he put his lips on yellow alert, and he said 'Hello, how are you?' and he shook her little hand. (Whoa!)
These days he don't know that muhc about much but here's his summary: God is great, the devil is bad, and somewhere in the middle there's you and me...
In the wreckage and the ruin (standing side by side) and they know what they're doin'.
In fact he feels like he is finally pulling away from the devil since he met her.
His strength is coming right back like a prodigal son, like a prodigal son.
He checked his couch, and his pockets, and his car's ashtray, and he found enough dinero to pay for things from the Goodwill Store like soap and Listerine to make him fresh and clean, and a pretty decent old black comb (he found it on the street on his way home).
He borrowed some SpeedStick from the guy in the apartment behind him.
He didn't tell him, though I hope he doesn't mind him, he really shouldn't leave his door unlocked, because he also took a pair of his socks, and a Falco tape, I'm sure he didn't play it anymore. (Whoa!)
Shaved face, smooth as onion, dressed in out-of-fashion clothes, ready for their secret tryst about which everybody knows....
And that's perfectly cool.
He's always been a big fool.
But thanks to her, he thinks he's finally pulling away from the devil, he's just begun;
His strength is coming right back like a prodigal son, like a prodigal son.
(breakdown:)
One step forward, two back. (Plastic loser falling behind)
One step forward, two back. (No dice, he chose the moves that he made)
And the moves that he made led him away, away from the game.
Same old same old, but further away...
And he still finds life perplexing but he submits his thesis humbly: God is great, the devil is bad, and somewhere in the middle there's you and me...
In the wreckage and ruin (standing side by side) and they know what they're doin'.
She is the oil can to his tin man, the extra stuffing to his scarecrow, the gamma rays to his Incredible Hulk (though that sounds crude)
And he feels like he is finally pulling away from the devil since he met her.
We came with nothing and with nothing we'll leave
The wheels of fortune has stopped and it bleeds
The burning angel and hungry crows
They're black eyes that drill holes in our souls
The tortured souls that won't find its peace
The endless screams that echo on
Lay down with the dead, the funeral has begun
No one comes to pay respect, lay to rest
The night is still yours
When you're sleeping with the dead
And he smiles at you as he takes your life
It burns inside of you
It burns when you die
How sweet and calm, buried six feet under
Ashes to ashes and dust to dus
The time has come to pay the price
When you're left to ro
Close your eyes and rest in pain
The endless screams that echo on
Lay down with the dead, the funeral has begun
No one comes to pay respect, lay to rest
The night is still yours
When you're sleeping with the dead
When you sleep with the dead it burns
Lay down with the dead, the funeral has begun
No one comes to pay respect, lay to rest
The night is still yours
Hey you, I know you don't like me
But the feeling is mutual
Pardon my French, slimy bitch
Do I care? Of course, I wrote this song for you
Save your prayers cause I don't care
Your tongue is digging your own grave
We are born with our conscience clear
By the time you're 15 your life is full of misery
The frames of lies you cannot escape
It's calling your name
Mistakes of your past you can't erase
It's coming back to you
Why don't you stop cause you're nothing
I don't care cause you're nothing
Why don't you leave cause you're nothing
Disappear cause you're nothing
Save your prayers cause I don't care
Your tongue is digging your own grave
We are born with our conscience clear
By the time you're 15 your life is full of misery
The frames of lies you cannot escape
It's calling your name
Mistakes of your past you can't erase
You're welcome to my world
Dark side of the universe
I'll take you for a spin
Let the mayhem begin
The media mouth is feeding and chemical youth is screaming
The circus starts to roll
There's no turning back
You think it's right you made your mind
I've seen so many cross that line
I've seen them come
I've seen them go
Time will never change
It's the same old song
The same old song
That's playing again
The same old song
Your soul is burning bright
High hopes of future in sight
Beyond the horizon lays a world that's so black
They try to shape your mind
And make you walk the line
Don't let them steal your dreams
It's all that you've got
You start to doubt
You changed your mind
I've seen so many cross that line
I've seen them come
I've seen them go
Times will never change
It's the same old song
The same old song
That's playing again
The same old song
Don't wanna hear it no more
Time to do this
Time to do that
I've got an offer
You can't refuse it
Just stick with me
And I'll push you
All the way to the stars
Can't take it no more
The same old song
It's playing again
The same old song
Don't wanna hear it no mor
The same old song
It's playing again
And again and again
I'm stressed out of my mind
I can't seem to find what's up and down
I'm frustrated and short for time
Life's a misery, won#t you agree with me?
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
I don't believe in that anymore
Reach out and regret
Run for your life
I feel it's pushing me to the edge
The puzzle I try to complete
Is getting short on parts and I don't know why
One step forward
Two steps back
I'm marching backwards
I'm marching on a thin line
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
I don't believe in that anymore
Reach out and regret
Run for your life
I feel it's pushing me to the edge
Reach out and regret
Run for your life
The dreams you crushed, I'll never forget
Should I sweat over these things that's out of my hand
Should I really care, am I a boy or a fucking man
Should I care about the things that's out of my hand
Why is that?
You cannot run or hide
From the pain that lives inside
Taking everything you own
As we speak it's taking your soul
It will never wait
It anticipates
Every move you make
Sends you out of control
Now?
The rage inside, you can feel it grow
The knife in your heart, it begins to show
You run and you run but can't get away
From the agony of the pain
You cannot stop it now
Every nerve in your body growls
Mind craves spirit unrest
Here's to the curse that now lay at rest
It will never wait
It anticipates
Every move you make
Sends you out of control
Now?
The rage inside, you can feel it grow
A knife in the heart, it begins to show
I run and I run but can?t get away
Now I've got something to say
So just get out of my way
I won't take shit from you or anyone that stands in my way
I've been quiet too long and now it's out of control
I've had it up to here and nothing's gonna stop me now
I don't believe in god or destiny
I always lived my life with one foot into the grave
The world is cruel and filled with enemies
I take my chances cause I know my life won't go anywhere
We're searching, we're burning out
It's hard to find when both feet are nailed to the ground
We're stranded, we're all tied up
We're hammered down with both feet are nailed to the ground
Nothing in life is for free, everything has price
You start to pay when you're born until the day you die
They turn you into a machine and keep you in the line
If you fall out of their path they will come after you
I don't believe in god or destiny
I always lived my life with one foot into the grave
We're searching, we're burning out
It's hard to find when both feet are nailed to the ground
We're stranded, we're all tied up
We're hammered down with both feet are nailed to the ground
Ah, I won't go down on my knees
They won't stop until I hit rock bottom
No.... I won't go down on my knees
In this government controlled society
NO NO NO... I won't go down...
We're searching, we're burning out
It's hard to find when both feet are nailed to the ground
We're stranded, we're all tied up
Time, I cannot turn back
I'm not living in the past
Air, it's not my first breath
Why didn't anyone tell me I'm insane
I'm having my own revolution
I'm the first in line to see the light
The doctor's giving me new medication
And I'm flying high again
Now I'm taking a permanent vacation
The monster's tamed inside of me
You got to feed the monster
Time, I cannot turn back
I'm not living in the past
Air, it's not my first breath
Why didn't anyone tell me I'm insane
I'm having my own revolution
I'm the first in line to see the light
The doctor's giving me new medication
And I'm flying high again
Now I'm taking a permanent vacation
The monster's tamed inside of me
Life, I'm not the one that's on trial
Stop, I have not time to fuck around
Life, you cannot be what you wanna be
Why, I am what I am and I stand where I stand
Feed my monster
The docter's giving me new medication
And I'm flying high again
Now I'm taking a permanent vacation
I cannot breathe suffocating slow
I need to come up for Air
The monster's in my head they won't leave me be
I've told them thousand times, just stay away from me
A constant battle within, a battle I can't win
It triggers the fear of failure
Stereotype society you better think like others think
Remote control human disaster
World turns dead right before me
I can't hide in the past, I need to break away from me
Life burns black, no sanctuary
I did my time so let me out
Like a broken record, it repeats itself
Like a wheel.. and round and round and round it goes
It's like we're on a path, on a path to nowhere
Running out of time, running out of passion
Once created times, now a storm of nails
Razor sharp and it won't stop yet
World turns dead right before me
I can't hide in the past, I need to break away from me
Life burns black, no sanctuary
I did my time so let me out
Running out of ways to run, it's a dead end street
Been taking all the turns.. They all turn back to me
World turns dead right before me
I can't hide in the past, I need to break away from me
Life burns black, no sanctuary
Have you ever seen a child die?
Did you even know that it exists?
Did you know people outside your walls are starving to death?
So what would you do if it was up to you?
Would you even care?
I bet you would look another way and think of better things
Oh no, it's better to look away
You better close your eyes
Oh no, you don't wanna see anyone die
You just want to live your pretty life
Why won't we do anything?
Build up a wall around you so you don't have to see
Don't wanna preach but just think again
Oh no, it's better to look away
You better close your eyes
Oh no, you don't wanna see anyone die
You just want to live your pretty life
Why won't we do anything?
Build up a wall around you so you don't have to see
Since I was a kid I see greedy people
Just grabbing all they could take
I promised myself I'd never become like them
I can feel they're closing up on me
Closer than I ever thought
How could I have been so dumb
Didn't I see it, feel it, smell it, taste it
It's only them coming from all directions
Walking all over me again and again
They're feeding of your kindness
Squeezing life right out of you
Like a vampire sucks you dry
You cannot run and hide
If you give them a helping hand
They will take your whole life without thinking twice
The only thing they want is
More and more and more
Now I got a parasite into my life
I didn't see it coming
'Til it almost broke me down
It's only them, you don't give, you're a taker
It's a matter of the size of your wallet
And the money that you're making
It's only them and nothing is sacred
They don't care if you break your neck
As long as they'll make it
It's only them coming from all directions
Walking all over me again and again
A tattoo burned on my skin
A disease without a cure
Like a blind man running in circles
On a dead end street
Now I got a parasite into my life
I didn't see it coming
'Til it almost broke me down
It's only them, you don't give, you're a taker
It's a matter of the size of your wallet
And the money that you're making
It's only them and nothing is sacred
They don't care if you break your neck
As long as they'll make it
It's only them
You don't believe in what I'm doin'
How more do I have to prove you
I can't give up I've started
I'm not a quitter this is what I do
Can you look in my eyes
Without telling me a bunch of lies
A ll I asked for was the truth
I thought it was me, but now I know it's you
LIAR
I'm going in
Into the fire, I'm burning you out
I'm goin' in
I'm cooling down your skin
Do you like how I treat you
Or should I treat you like a movie star
Something good just went so bad
I got to bring you down
I'm going in
Into the fire, I'm burning you out
I'm goin' in
I'm cooling down your skin
I'm going in
Into the fire, I'm burning you out
I'm goin' in
I'm cooling down your skin
Dream on little liar
Truth will call out your name
I'm going in
Into the fire, I'm burning you out
I'm goin' in
I'm cooling down your skin
I'm going in
Into the fire, I'm burning you out
I'm goin' in

The older you are, the wiser you get
Just listen to me
When life gets though and you know it will
Then have a drink on me
The alcohol never talks back to me
It never tells me when it's time to go home
It's been my friend for over 25 years
And she has never cut me low
Don't cut me low
The older you are, the wiser you get
Just listen to me
When life gets though and you know it will
Then have a drink on me
Too many women, too little time
And not enough whiskey
Not enough booze for me
I rather lose my liver than to lose my pride
And when I'm dead and buried
Then just have a drink on me
I don't believe in love
So don't expect too much
The older you are, the wiser you get
Just listen to me
When life gets though and you know it will
Then have a drink on me
The older you are, the wiser you get
Just listen to me
When life gets though and you know it will
Then have a drink on me
Destroy Society, Erase your enemy
for trying to break you down
Shut down, Shut up, Give in, Give up

As I'm going on a crusade with my '44
Greed feel the greed
Greed taste the greed
He feeds of the other people's misery
The power is his greed
He's trying to play god with your life
But we all can see through
A lot of people have been suffering
And that gives him a kick
Push him against the wall
And let him taste your fist
Greed feel the greed
Greed taste the greed
For how long can a man hold his position
Do anything and still get away with it
What makes him so fucking special
A corrupted man with power as his only friend
Execution is the only justice
Justice...
Greed feel the greed
All the crap I've seen and how you're running things
I'm not surprised
You're reading for an early grave
And with a smile we lower you down
And now we see the industry is losing it's grip
It's a dog eat dog world in this magical wild world of the web
Step into the game
Generation of the past
Rejected from the fame
We will see how long you'll last
Don't blame your misery on me
You're the on that's out of touch
It's time to change the history
'cause you want too much
You know all the good things must come to an end
You've been riding high on your lies
And now you're going down with the burning ship
Step into the game
Generation of the past
Rejected from the fame
We will see how long you'll last
Step into the game
Generation of the past
Rejected from the fame
We will see how long you'll last
The rise of new technology
That kills the economy
It's an infectious disease
Don't blame your misery on me
You're the one that's out of touch
It's time to change the history
You know all the good things must come to an end
We're all disposable players in the wild world of the web
Step into the game
Generation of the past
Rejected from the fame
We will see how long you'll last
Step into the game
Generation of the past
Rejected from the fame
Good luck has never been my friend
I've always been the fool
Please don't follow shadows of mine
'cause the time is running out for me
I walk in the path of a misfits blood
No compass can stare my way
No light at the end of the tunnel
And time is running out for me
No gold at the end of the rainbow
No high hopes, dreams deceive
Follow me
The trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me
The trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me
I walk in the path of a misfits blood
No compass can stare my way
No light at the end of the tunnel
And time is running out for me
No gold at the end of the rainbow
No high hopes, dreams deceive
Follow me
The trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me
The trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me

Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you

Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Time, I cannot turn back
I'm not living in the past
Air, it's not my first breath
Why didn't anyone tell me I'm insane
I'm having my own revolution
I'm the first in line to see the light
The doctor's giving me new medication
And I'm flying high again
Now I'm taking a permanent vacation
The monster's tamed inside of me
You got to feed the monster
Time, I cannot turn back
I'm not living in the past
Air, it's not my first breath
Why didn't anyone tell me I'm insane
I'm having my own revolution
I'm the first in line to see the light
The doctor's giving me new medication
And I'm flying high again
Now I'm taking a permanent vacation
The monster's tamed inside of me
Life, I'm not the one that's on trial
Stop, I have not time to fuck around
Life, you cannot be what you wanna be
Why, I am what I am and I stand where I stand
Feed my monster
The docter's giving me new medication
And I'm flying high again
Now I'm taking a permanent vacation
Creeping and Cracking
Baby don't look back, no one goes home tonight
The evil we see and the evil we do
Brings out the beast in me and you
Waking up from screaming
You think it's all in your head
My my, it's a bad day to be alive
It's crawling under your skin and feeds of your hate
Just close your eyes and wait till the sun goes down
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
Fear the demon in me, Fear the demon in you
Hear the voices calling you
Shadow's tongue licking your flesh
Rips the clothes clean of your body
Strip you clean straight down to the bones
You can't stay awake, You can't fall asleep
He's coming for your life
Don't wanna wake up dead, you know you're over your head
There ain't no turning back
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
Fear the demon in me, Fear the demon in you
Laying in sweet tears
Dreams are turning into a living hell
The nightmares you see and the terror you feel
Takes a turn for the worse and becomes real
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
My gun is pumping you're down on your knees
A closer step to death
I think I'm coming, are you ready to receive?
I spray you full with my killer disease
I'll come inside, I'll break you down
Your end of your life
I'll steal your soul, I'm in control
I just made you mine
It's the end of the line
You're broken to pieces crushed by the facts
It's the end of the line
How could this be
Face the enemy and meet reality
How could you be so blind
Now you're tasting death it controls your mind
Suffering years ahead
I came inside, I have broke you down
I ended your life
I stole your soul, I was in control
And I made you mine
It's the end of the line
You're broken to pieces crushed by the facts
It's the end of the line
It's not what it supposed to be
It's the end of the line
You're broken to pieces crushed by the facts
It's the end of the line
How could this be
How could you be so tough?
It's the end of the line
You're broken to pieces crushed by the facts
It's the end of the line
It's not what it supposed to be
It's the end of the line
You're broken to pieces crushed by the facts
It's the end of the line
How could this be
It's the end of the line
You're broken to pieces crushed by the facts
It's the end of the line
It's not what it supposed to be
It's the end of the line
You're broken to pieces crushed by the facts
It's the end of the line
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church
Where a wedding has been, lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps
In a jar by the door, who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon
That no one will hear, no one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night
When there's nobody there, what does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
And was buried along with her name, nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands
As he walks from the grave, no one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Look at all the people
Look at all the people
Look at all the people
Does it really matter anyway?
You have to feel real bad
Before you can feel good again
Drown before you can breathe the air
Blinded by hate
Until you can't open your eyes to see
That it takes more than a knife to make you bleed
Does it really matter anyway
That we won't get what we're searching for
We slave through life to stay alive
To get a piece of the pie
Does it really matter anyway
That we cannot reach our goals
The more we work, the more we earn
The more we live, the more we burn
With money we think we're god
With success we think we can do whatever we want
But when your star starts to fade
You crawl back to a nothing, into your shell
Does it really matter anyway
Regrets from your past
Makes your future collapse
Insecured by failure
Anxiety attacks
Your heart's still pumping
While your veins are running dry
The clock is ticking
But the time stands still
Does it really matter anyway
That we won't get what we're searching for
We slave through life to stay alive
To get a piece of the pie
Does it really matter anyway
That we cannot reach our goals
The more we work, the more we earn
The more we live, the more we burn
I just fell of the sky it's been a hell of a rain
I'm back again
things were looking good when i was on the move
until i met you
so we loose in sky gonna smile an angel
come here and spread your wings
I guess you're dirty all man try to bray your game
I set your angel fire
she locks me down
I man for a count
I'm going dooown
Oh dirty woman
she drinks you in her smile
more dirty woman
she seems for kill... killing me
Oh needs
Oh life
Not afraid to show what's on her mind
i never listen to world where people said

'cause i don't need a woman to slow me down
don't wanna single blues
she locks me down
I man for a count
I'm going dooown, doown dooown
Oh dirty woman
she drinks you in her smile
more dirty woman
she seems for kill... killing me
Oh dirty woman
she drinks you in her smile
more dirty woman
she seems for kill... killing me
I've become one with the universe [Incomprehensible]
I'm controlling the power of cosmos
Hoping to drive in space, space
Acid in space
It takes me to another dimension
Relieving from reality
Living in a world of delusions
These drugs keep me sane
The world will discover
It's not all me exposing the life that you breath
Feeling lighter is all I [Incomprehensible]
Reflecting the truth to delusions and dreams
Lost in my empty feelings
It's better there, pronounce me dead
Promise I'd live like fire in the sun
I can't see through the cloud that surrounds me
Painted pictures are not like the way you think
By having the answers in my eyes
In my mind, in my soul
I'm losing control, the sky keeps falling on me
Exposing the life that you breath
Reflecting the truth to delusions and dreams
Feeling lighter is about like the heavenly seed
Why is this happening to me?
Never trusted by my inner feeling
It's better to be dead than to be alive
Painted pictures are not like the way you think
By having the answers in my eyes
In my mind, in my soul
I'm losing control the sky keeps falling on me
Exposing the life that you breath
Reflecting the truth to delusions and dreams
Feeling lighter is about like the heavenly seed
Alone in the dark, [incomprehensible] for the fish
Waiting the sun to show it's fate
Will this be my final day or has it already gone
So then I just keep away into dreamland
Dark fields of pain are running
Is it me whose wanted?
Shadows of death are calling
Am I, am I, am I dying?
Shoot me up with the smack
Shoot me down with a bullet
It's all the same game
I cannot hide from my needs
My only Saviour is the rush
It will keep my body from bleeding
Dark fields of pain are running
Is it me whose wanted?
Shadows of death are calling
Am I, am I, am I dying?
Dark fields of pain are running
Is it me whose wanted?
Shadows of death are calling
Am I, am I, am I dying?
Dark fields of pain are running
Is it me whose wanted?
Shadows of death are calling
Am I, am I, am I dying?
Dark fields of pain are running
Is it me whose wanted?
Shadows of death are calling
Am I, am I, am I dying?
Time is running out, can't you understand?
The end is coming near, we gotta wake up fast
I don't wanna fall, all because of someone else
Decided your fate, they'll fuck you in
Burn above the line
Destroy your suffering life, we cannot hide
Well, I guess that the walls are closing in
You cannot breathe, there we can't [Incomprehensible]
No cure when you bleed, no cure when you breathe
I've been to hell and back again, confronted Lucifer's heir
I threw him aside, I chose the side
The end of Jesus Christ, how pathetic and out framed
[Incomprehensible] revenge of the devil
I've seen the angels falling
I feel the pain is coming closing in
I hear the dead are crying
I see the devil, he's smiling
Of all the power of the mighty flames
I am the only one that rules now
He's got your soul, you'll lose your mind
It's outta control, you're gonna die
I've seen the angels falling
I feel the pain is coming closing in
I hear the dead are crying
I see the devil, he's smiling
The devil's got your soul
The devil's got your soul
The devil's got your soul
The devil's got your soul
I've seen the angels falling
I feel the pain is coming closing in
I hear the dead are crying
I see the devil, he's smiling
Computerized technology
Wipes out all your enemies
Digital world controls
A dying analogue blasphemy
Distorted codes in your DNA
Passwords running through the veins
Our brain cells overwon
By the zeros and by the ones
This is the end of humanity - thrill me, kill me
Computer god is the enemy - deceive me, delete me
There is no lord that will set us free - thrill me, kill me
The computer god is the enemy - deceive me, delete me
Computerized technology
Wipes out all your enemies
Digital world controls
A dying analogue blasphemy
Acid dreams and hate patrols
Anarchy put the wold on hold
Cyber love, my only love
Never complains, she's under my thumb
This is the end of humanity - thrill me, kill me
Computer god is the enemy - deceive me, delete me
There is no lord that will set us free - thrill me, kill me
Pushing forty, cracks on her skin
Needs to get out, she's ready for sin
All dressed up and no one to blow...
She's so low
Silicon tits and silicon lips
Grammy awards and playing your tricks
Let the champagne flow
And powder your nose
Walking the white line of fantasy
Glamorous life is all you seek
Living in Hollywood make believe
Lost in the clouds of ecstasy
Silicon tits and silicon lips
Grammy awards and playing your tricks
Let the champagne flow
And powder your nose
Walking the white line of fantasy
Glamorous life is all you seek
Living in Hollywood make believe
Lost in the clouds of ecstasy
Feel it, it's knocking on your door
The parasite is ready to strike
Digging for gold
Walking the white line of fantasy
Glamorous life is all you seek
Living in Hollywood make believe
Tell me
What do you see when you see yourself
I don't really get it
How do you make it through the day without killing yourself
Bye bye, why don't you go and
Die die, I'll fuck you up
You want me on my knees
But I'm not going down
Bye bye, leave me alone or
Die die, it is your choice
No time for games, so just leave me the fuck alone
Do you know, you're all the same
Got to play these stupid games
You're getting on my nerves, so just stay the fuck away
Who died and made you god
This time you've gone too far
I think it's time for you to understand: this is war
There's nothing to see here, I don't wanna be here
Get me out of here right now
I can not sit around and wait for you to drive me insane
Bye bye, why don't you go and
Die die, I'll fuck you up
You want me on my knees
But I'm not going down
Bye bye, leave me alone or
Die die, it is your choice
No time for games, so just leave me the fuck alone
So you think I'm unreasonable
Do you really think I am a toy that you can kick around
Don't come here, you're a waste of time
Some people never know when it's time to back away
It will come back at you and slap you in the face
There's nothing to see here, I don't wanna be here
Get me out of here right now
I can not sit around and wait for you to drive me insane
I don't have the patience so what are you after
Do you want me to snap right now?
Some things will never ever change, like you and your ugly face
Bye bye, why don't you go and
Die die, I'll fuck you up
You want me on my knees but I'm not going down
Bye bye, leave me alone or
Die die, it is your choice
No time for games so just leave me the fuck alone
Bye bye, it's your choice
Die die, I'll fuck you up
Bye bye, why don't you go and
I don't wanna touch what I can't feel
I don't wanna look when I can't see
Things are flying through my head
All the fucking lies that I can't stand
Someone wake me up from this nightmare
Before I'm gonna wake up dead
Every little thing that I can't control
Like a missile, seek and destroy
Cracking, breaking, I won't take it
Triggers my insanity
Trying to find the answers in my life
My mind is empty, my eyes are blind
Don't need your sympathy
Don't want you to stare at me
Drowning in my hollowness
Scratch the surface, you will find, dead man searching suicide
It's a good day to die
Aiming for the things that I can't have
Aiming high and no one cares
Turning up and tuning in
My own battles I can't win
when will I be next in line
To trigger my soul so I can stay alive
Don't need your sympathy, don't want you to stare at me
Downing in my hollowness
Scratch the surface, you will find, dead man searching suicide
It's a good day to die
I don't want your gratitude, I was never good for you, shape of the emptiness
Scratch the surface, you will find, dead man searching suicide
It burns inside, don't be afraid
Don't need your sympathy, don't want you to stare at me
Drowning in my hollowness
Scratch the surface, you will find, dead man searching suicide
It's a good day to die
I don't want your gratitude, I was never good for you
Shape of the emptiness
i woke up with a cough
a germ had gotten on me
and i couldn't get it off of me
my mom would say to take some medicine
right away so i did
real bad cough, yeah, real bad cough
i found a bottle in a drawer
i thought it was cough syrup
but i couldn't have been more wrong
i drank it down and then i found
to my complete amazement
i swallowed some nitro, i swallowed some nitro
i swallowed some nitro, am i gonna die?
i swallowed some nitro, i swallowed some nitro
where does a guy go when he swallows some nitro?
how will i explain this to my mom?
i'll have to call her up and tell her i'm a human bomb
and she will feed me baby food just like the did to grampaw
just like grampaw, just like gramps
oh well, no more taco bell
and smokin' cigarettes will probably get me blown to hell
and if i go, i guarantee, my pop is goin' with me
i swallowed some nitro, i swallowed some nitro
i swallowed some nitro, am i gonna die?
i swallowed some nitro, i swallowed some nitro
where does a guy go when he swallows some nitro?
Lately I've heard this song, you see,
And it will not let me be.
It's a measure or two with a hell of a groove
But a lot of simplicity.
It's the kind of a song you want to write for your mom
It's the kind of a song that makes you hum for a while
It's the kind of a song that's kind of stupid and dumb.
Just another tarnished diamond for the pile.
And here I am, smashing square pegs into round holes.
Here I am, weakening the whole.
Square pegs, we'll knock all their blocks off this time
With a hell of a melody rhyme,
Always keeping in mind that I'm
As square as they come, well that's fine.
I'll spend all my money and time
Spinning wheels on an incline.
Staying inside has got me doubting my mind
And doing battle with phantoms again.
In the form of some notes,
I think a musical ghost
Is digging dead melodies from my head.
I should be out in the sun, I should be having some fun.
I should be drinking some beer, I should be reading somewhere.
I should be seeing my wife instead of wasting my nights
And from all that I hear I should be getting my hair cut
But here I am, with 53 chords and broken horn lines.
But here I am, losing my mind.
Square pegs, we'll knock all their blocks off this time
With a hell of a melody rhyme,
Always keeping in mind that I'm
As square as they come, well that's fine.
I'll spend all my money and time
I just cried as she hung me off the ceiling
I just love the pain
I was ready as she raised her whip
And she whipped me so good
She whipped me so good
I never felt this way before
As this thing was spinning around
My hands were tied to this hook
And oh man what she did when she was in control
And she knows what I need
And she's making sure to give it to me
And I don't think I ever want to come down again
She's raping me
She made me stay like a dog
I was ready as she raised her whip
And she whipped me so good
She whipped me so good
She lets me loose sometimes, and makes me do all my needs
But i always crawl back again, so she can do what she please
Sweet love is best, it never makes her sweat
She ties me down for a second round, there's nothing i regret
I was begging for mercy
But on the inside I was begging for more
It's the only way to make me cum!
She made me stay like a dog
Please don't ever stop
She made me stay like a dog
I was ready as she raised her whip, and she whipped me so good
The lights are off, but look!
There's somebody in the home.
The White Recluse is loose,
And I glow in the dark
Spiders spin their cobwebs and they run their legs across the strands,
Making tiny melodies on silken violins
I sit back and twiddle my thumbs and lightning bolts shoot from my hands
In my head, spinning out gold, multiple Rumplestiltskins.
Go Away!
I'm the White Recluse,
Heat's on high and I'm stewin' in my juice
Go Away!
But if you like, we'll go out tomorrow night
I don't need bars or cars of beautiful drunks
Don't call the cops, I'm fine, just gettin' my groove on
If I was a Negro all my friends would call me Brown Recluse
No offense intended, of course and and no offense took
I'll see you when I see you, see?
So go away, Don't bother me while I learn a new dance,
Write a new book, shit in my pants, create a new look,
So...
Go Away!
I'm the White Recluse, heat's on high and I'm stewin' in my juice
Go Away! But if you like, we'll go out tomorrow night.
Go Away!
I'm the White Recluse, heat's on high and I'm stewin' in my juice
Go Away! But if you like, we'll go out tomorrow night.
Gimme 'til then...
Gimme 'til then...
Gimme 'til then...
Gimme 'til then...
Gimme 'til then...
With a black silk umbrella
On a rooftop one day
To put physical laws on
Temporary delay.
Goggles on and my shoes tied
Thumbs upturned for the big ride.
I'll step into a soft glide
To the earth far below.
Off I went and down I fell
Like a missile shot to hell.
Umbrella snapped in three,
I'm a seven-inch cowboy
With a tiny pair of six guns.
Five'll get you ten,
I betcha never seen one.
Well I'm a seven inch cowboy
How do you be?
And I'm used to people gawking and a-staring at me
But I wasn't always so gol-darned wee
Let me tell you my story,
You can listen for free.
For seven long years,
Now that's a year for every inch I stand
I've traveled small and lonely down the byways of this giant land
Like a country western Lilliputian too afraid to stop
I'm at the bottom of the food chain whereas I once was at the top.
I wandered on foot, my horse had done abandoned me
And every town I come to's like a terrible dream
The other cowboys mocked me and spit tobacco like meteors
Watching me dodge 'em and laughing at my small squeaky scream
I went to a saloon to get a drink
They wouldn't serve me
They stuffed me in a glass and slid me up and down the bar
And all the barroom women gathered round and had their way with me
They sang a song both cold and mean
'Cause that's how women are,
They sang,
âA man can pan for gold and strike it rich and be a millionaire
Or ride the rodeo and be the best one at it anywhere.
Drive a brand new car, be a movie star
Size is all that counts, and there you are.â
And I'm a seven-inch cowboy
With a tiny pair of six guns
Five'll get you ten
I bet you never seen one
(Yodeling)
Now as you can imagine, I'd grown pretty bitter
(Although that's the only way in which I had grown)
And in that seventh year I finally found my transgressor,
The man who had shrunk me, the worst fiend I'd ever known.
The mad Professor Mentley was his name and I drew near
I hopped upon his shoulder and I grabbed him by the ear
I held my little pistols up and I told 'im, âLook a-here!
You made me this way, it's time you pay, you gol-darned queer!â
And the professor said, âWait! Wait!
Now you know me, and I know you
And you know that strange experiments are just what I do
It's less like a pastime and more like a job
Why if I didn't do it, I'd be an unemployed slob
Now I know that won't suffice if I'm to set you at ease
But I'm thinking as fast as I can for a man who's down on his knees
And just this passing moment I had a thought, here's what I thunk, I thought,
'Where would you be today if you hadn't've shrunk?'
Just another nameless cowboy, a mediocre bumpkin
Riding in the sun, skin burnt the color of a pumpkin
Reviled by the ladies, ridiculed by other men,
Nothing to set you apart nor would there ever have been
Then I came along, yes ME, Professor Mentley!
I gave you a gift! (though you weren't grateful evidently)
I plucked you from your average status, I made you unique
You're a seven-inch cowboy, not a six foot freak.
From every corner of the globe folks will come to adore you
Nations will bow and throw their riches before you
You'll be diminutive in stature, but a titan inside
Because I, your true friend, chose to stand by your side.â
Now I cogitated on the words Professor Mentley shared
And I wondered if perhaps he only said 'em 'cause he was scared
My guns were weighin' heavy in my hands, my heart was low
When suddenly some old advice came to me soft and slow:
Well my pop told me it don't matter where a fella goes
You can sail through icy straights and misty archipelagoes.
Travel to the moon, orbit every star
Size don't really count and there you are.
And I'm a seven-inch cowboy (seven inches tall)
With a tiny pair of six guns (That's mighty damn small)
Five'll get you ten (For all you bettin' men)
You'll never see another one (yeah!)
I guess Professor Mentley had a point although I shot him anyway
There's never been a gentleman like me and that is safe to say
Well, I've thought real long and hard, so hard my brain is numb
Now I say Hollywood (Hollywood!), Hollywood (Hollywood!)
I am the one who choose the path in my life
I don't need you to tell me what is right
You have to learn to crawl before you walk
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger than rock
Make your mistakes and wipe it off your back
Don't you be pulling the break, it's just full speed ahead
Tear it up - Free fall from the sky
Tear it up - Kiss your ass goodbye
You're livin' and you're learning
Hopefully before you die
Tear it up - Crack your head
Tear it up - You know how its gonna end
Your running against the wall
Smash your face and wake up boy
How can you say that you are living your life
You don't take chances you're just waiting to die
It's no crime to fuck around, so don't you waste your time
Cause you don't know when you'll be throwing in the towel
Taste the pain, my game, I'll make you go insane
Now it's time to let go, its just full speed ahead
Tear it up - Free fall from the sky
Tear it up - Kiss your ass goodbye
You're livin' and you're learning
Hopefully before you die
Tear it up - Crack your head
Tear it up - You know how its gonna end
Your running against the wall
Smash your face and wake up boy
Tear it up, wake up boy, tear it up
Tear it up, wake up boy, tear it up
Now's the time for you to understand
Cause your breathing doesn't mean you're alive
Turn it on, self control before you start to fall
Don't you be pulling the break, it's just full speed ahead
Tear it up - Free fall from the sky
Tear it up - Kiss your ass goodbye
You're livin' and you're learning
Hopefully before you die
Tear it up - Crack your head
Tear it up - You know how it's gonna end
You're running against the wall
Remember Hannibal's march?
Yeh yeh yeh yeh.
Leaving elephant footprints
and leading his boys across the Alps.
I think I know how he felt
yeh yeh yeh yeh.
Not just because it was tough,
but the way his country eventually sold him out.
I think of what must have been
his immense frustration.
There in a land far away
with the prize so close he could almost taste it
only to hear his leaders say
"Way to go! You did it!
Even though you didn't do it, though.
Everybody here is feelin' right on!"
(so I'll) Drink a little, take a break,
a break I didn't really need.
But after that I know I'm goin' right on.
Remember the second World War? Yeh yeh yeh yeh.
A certain general George,
he got in trouble for trying way too hard.
I think I know how he felt yeh yeh yeh yeh.
I know it sounds crazy
but I tend to get too wrapped up in work.
But me & Patton seem to share
that immense frustration
(it's megalomaniacal I know)
wanting something so bad
you can almost taste it
and dragged down by the voices from below
(they say) "Way to go! You're done!
You've gone as far as you will ever go!
Everybody here is feelin' right on!"
I'll drink a little, take a break,
a break I didn't really need.
But after that I know I'm going right on!
I know that I'm not alone.
The treasure of my heart
is calling on the telephone.
I've got my friends around me,
they don't seem to hate me yet.
My family lends me cash
and they're not strict about the debt.
And the world is a place
where the most important
thing you can learn is this:
to submit to the will of the main upstairs
and don't get too wrapped up in yourself.
So I guess this is kind "Way to go! You did it!
Even though you didn't do it, though.
Everybody here is feelin' right on!"
(so I'll) Drink a little, take a break,
a break I didn't really need.
But after that I know I'm goin' right on.
of an amateur prayer for
people trying to find their own way,
a request for strength
and a reminder to resist
what the well meaning naysayers say when they say
"Way to go! You did it!
Even though you didn't do it, though.
Everybody here is feelin' right on!"
(so I'll) Drink a little, take a break,
a break I didn't really need.
But after that I know I'm goin' right on.
"Way to go! You're done!
You've gone as far as you will ever go!
Everybody here is feelin' right on!"
I'll drink a little, take a break,
a break I didn't really need.
Stay away, stay away
Stay away, stay away
I'm on the road to nowhere, cause you're holding me down
Your urge for my flesh just scares me, don't you follow me around
You're walking in my shadows and in my shoes, every step I take
I can feel you all around, like the air I inhale
Sucking all my energy, you know you must feed of me
I'm starting to run dry
My body is all that I have left, all the things you said
Why do you do this to me?
Stay away, stay away
You got to stay away
Stay away, stay away
Get away
Stay away, stay away
I need to get away
Stay away, stay away
Get away
Creeping and crawling, drooling on me, every time I turn my head
I can't get you to disappear from me, you trap me in your cage
There's no way you're ever gonna stop, you're playing games for keeps
You're licking your wounds and swear to me, you would bury me deep
Your head is set to break me down, fuck me up and kick me out
You don't care what it takes
Vengeance is burning in your eyes
I know what you got on you mind
I really need to get away
Stay away, stay away
You got to stay away
Stay away, stay away
Get away
Stay away, stay away
I need to get away
Stay away, stay away
Get away
I can not get away from you, I see you
You need me, I'm not sad
I can't believe it
Stay away, stay away
You got to stay away
Stay away, stay away
Get away
Stay away, stay away
I need to get away
Stay away, stay away
I never thought i'd be put together so easily
But you knew i always had it coming and you knew i took a hit
I made a bad decision felt myself explode to bits and bits
You had an eye for damaged goods and sought out ways to make them fit
I gave you no direction but you still could find enough to put together
Mends unraveled, nothing mattered, from something shattered came some new form
Made with substance, embracing nonsense
A bum or a prince, a character foil
You should never be more careful than when opposites meet
But you know i always had it coming and you knew i took a hit
You had an eye for damaged goods and sought out ways to make them fit
I'm not here so you can knock me down, again
Things have changed and I don't want you on my mind
Don't wanna hear what you got to say
Your little world is not for me
And don't believe everything you see
It's not really what I appears to be
How can I get the message through to you
You try to break me down, I wanna clear my mind
I know now is my time
You're drawn to suffering, I wont give anything
I got nothing to hide
I've been waiting for this moment
Your lies that I can see right through
Thing has moved around, you can't hold me down
The tables have turned
Now I know what you've been looking for
Another you of me so I can hate you more
You're trying to tear me up and spit me out
I'm not here so you can knock me down
I'm just glad to know that I'm done with you
You try to break me down, I wanna clear my mind
I know now is my time
You're drawn to suffering, I won't give anything
I got nothing to hide
I've been waiting for this moment
Your lies that I can see right through
Thing has moved around, you can't hold me down
The tables have turned
Don't wanna hear what you got to say:
I've been waiting for this moment
Your lies that I can see right through
Things has moved around, you can't hold me down
The tables have turned
I've been waiting for this moment
Your lies that I can see right through
Thing has moved around, you can't hold me down
The Argonauts always intrigued me
They typified every man
Happy unless something popped up
That wasn't part of the plan
But there'd been no pretention of plans from the start
So why did they go?
Were they stupid and slow?
They were so cocky and sure
At the start of the show
But when the sails went flat
And the Argo just sat
Or the rocks came crashing
Or the water ran low
When Hercules split
And Jason admitted he didn't know where to go, he said,
"You can whine until your mouth dries up
You can hang your head and wonder why
You can die or you can stand upright
And never go down again."
Sisyphus always intrigued me
He never decided to stop
The point of it lay in the trying
And not in attaining the top
Granted, he didn't have much of a choice,
But neither do you, and neither do I
And neither do you, and neither do I
But even Mr. Moneybags on the hill
Has never stopped pushing and never quite will
We're not just here to see how hard we try
But the way we try, and it ain't no lie...
Well, you can whine until your mouth dries up
You can hang your head and wonder why
You can die or you can stand upright
And never go down again
LET'S GO! (musical interlude)
So I'm making up songs in my head to
The cadence of seams in the road.
Most of them suck. It kills time, though;
We've got a freaking long way to go.
But our hearts are strong and our minds intact
And we're never gonna stop
And that's a big, fat fact.
A little cream in my coffee and a good CD
Making everybody sing along with me...
Well, you can whine until your mouth dries up
You can hang your head and wonder why
You can die or you can stand upright
And never go down again
Well, you can whine until your mouth dries up
You can hang your head and wonder why
You die or stand upright
And never go down again.
And never go down again.
The world is filled with desperate people
Looking with their desperate eyes
While the hollywood stars with their big fat cars
Try to get all the attention they can get
Get your bodyguard to pick up your trash
You're in the focus now
Too many drinks, crashed your cars
Can you live it up?
Feed us with scandals
Tell us who did what
You got our attention
Feed us, we're desperate
They're following every step
They'll keep you company into your grave
Stop and waving at people while you're cruising down the red carpets path
Just suck in all the flashes and pretend you care while signing away your autograph
Get your bodyguard to pick up your trash
You're in the focus now
Too many drinks, crashed your cars
Can you live it up?
Feed us with scandals
Tell us who did what
You got our attention
Feed us, we're desperate
Feed us with scandals
Tell us who did what
You got our attention
Witness Jonathan Fallow, sit & stare,
He's a cartoon engineer extraordinaire
He's a tatterdemalion of dubious means,
Paper champion pencil making scenes
You see objects he sees life like
Bulbous-eyed homunculus, half boy half rhinoceros
People say he's useless, it seems like he's useless
Everyday he's useless, sometimes he feels sad
Witness Jonathan Fallow wasting talent & time
Nobody understands why there's happiness in his eyes
What about social standing? What about all his goals?
Cold, inanimate objects have no claim on his soul
Witness Jonathan Fallow in his past years
Work constituents give him wild cheers
He's a natural born successful man
No one illustrates like Jonathan can
Stand in awe & watch him draw
Chinese black belts chopping blocks eggplant head jack in the box
Now he seems so useless, People say he's useless,
Sometimes he gets mad
Witness Jonathan Fallow wasting talent & time
Nobody understands why there's happiness in his eyes
What about social standing? What about all his goals?
Cold, inanimate objects have no claim on his soul
Witness Jonathan Fallow's darkest day,
Watch the people he penned go far away
He knows that "publish or perish" is the number one rule
No one ever told him the truth could be so horribly cruel
No way out & no way over...
Bulbous-eyed homunculi, half boy half rhinoceri,
Oddball creeps out of ink & lead bouncing on their paper bed
So when you see him on the street, downtown and down and out
Don't say he's useless
Witness Jonathan Fallow wasting talent & time
Nobody understands why there's happiness in his eyes
What about social standing? What about all his goals?
Cold, inanimate objects have no claim on his soul
Witness Jonathan Fallow wasting talent & time
Nobody understands why there's happiness in his eyes
What about social standing? What about all his goals?
Behind the counter stood on crutches made of wood
A one-legged girl with blue-grey eyes, warm and wise.
I fled from that place and from that lovely face
That the one-legged girl stole my heart and I need help.
Cold November morning, buried under trees.
I would stay here all day long except I have to eat.
Crack the woods, crack them open both with shovels and yells.
Got to find little people, got to ask for their help.
And I tell them
If I could run fast, as fast as the Flash
Or be as cool as Ash in Army of Darkness.
If I were a Gai-King or maybe a Viking,
Stronger than the Thing then I could win the one-legged girl.
Getting close to nighttime, running out of steam.
By now I know my family's looking and they'll know right where I'll be.
Spy the eyes in the twilight, small and bright, warm and wise.
Little hats, little fingers, and a flask full of wine.
And I'd tell them
If my hand were wheels and if my feet were wheels
Then I could roll over all of my rivals.
If I could cast a spell or do something swell
So that she could tell I was worth her attention.
Arms drag me away.
The little eyes wink out.
Stuffed inside my pocket is a flask of wine.
Now I can run as fast as the Flash
Or be as cool as Ash in Army of Darkness.
Now I'll be a Gai-King or maybe a Viking,
Stronger than the Thing.
The last time I thought about leavin',
Was the last time I made her cry.
I talked myself out of believin',
That true, true love never dies.
The first time I thought of returnin',
Was just ten lonesome miles out of town.
But my foolish pride kept these wheels a-turnin',
Yeah, there was nothin' on this earth gonna shut me down.
But if I had one drop of water,
For each and every tear that I have cried.
I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow.
True, true love never dies.
Well, the fires of anger turn to ashes,
Your pride will forsake you by and by.
The lonesome is not surely passin',
That ol' true, true love never dies.
But if I had one drop of water,
For each and every tear that I have cried.
I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow.
True, true love never dies.
No, it never does.
Well, if I had one drop of water,
For each and every tear that I have cried.
Well, I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow.
True, true love never dies.
Well, I'd sail back to her on an ocean of sorrow.
True, true love never dies.
It never dies.
It never does.
No, No, No.
True true love.
True true love.
Bored, drinking my beer on the floor
Surrounded by people I mostly abhor, wanting more.
And so the night goes,
A lot of beer flows,
What can a guy do to make it right?
And then abruptly my pair of eyes see
A pair of guys get into a fight.
Funny how a fight can break the ice
And make the whole night better
Everybody loves to fight, FIGHT!
Everybody loves to fight, FIGHT!
Fist fly, hits him in the eye
Knocks him on the ground, now he starts to cry.
I don't mean to be pompous or mean.
Try to love each other-
That's the way it should be,
But don't you think that maybe every once in a while
A good fist fight makes everyone smile?
Funny how a fight can break the ice
And make the whole night better
Everybody loves to fight, FIGHT!
Everybody loves to fight, FIGHT!
Blood, teeth, broken glass on the floor
But if the fight's right the fighters just might
Decide to be friends and make amends
And as we get closer to the end,
It's time to sing the chorus once again.
Funny how a fight can break the ice
And make the whole night better
Everybody loves to fight, FIGHT!
Tony's got a botfly in his forehead
Jenny's got a guinea worm in her shoe
Dave's got leeches,
Mike's got flu,
Everybody's got a parasite,
I've got you.
First date: we thought it was great
We drank and we ate.
We stayed up real late.
Next week we hit our peak
Making the bedsprings creak.
And now, one month later.
Tony's got a botfly in his forehead
Jenny's got a guinea worm in her shoe
Dave's got leeches,
Mike's got flu,
Everybody's got a parasite,
I've got you.
I guess that's what I get
For being a jerk instead of cooling my jets
You were a wolf in a sheepskin
Playing for keeps and I lost
And now, twenty years later
Tony's got a botfly in his forehead
Jenny's got a guinea worm in her shoe
Dave's got leeches,
Mike's got flu,
Everybody's got a parasite,
I've got you.
I've got you!
I've got you!
Somebody tell me what to do
Should I try a bit of vinegar?
Has someone got an antidote?
Band-aids, cyanide, hydrogen peroxide,
Rum and coke if nothing else will do
Everybody's got a parasite,
I've got you.
Tony's got a botfly in his forehead
Jenny's got a guinea worm in her shoe
Dave's got leeches,
Mike's got flu,
Everybody's got a parasite,
Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
I saw you by that pool.
I thought you thought I was cool.
I felt a longing in my tool.
So dye your hair
Or change your name
Have your left arm surgically removed
No matter what you do
I'll be in love with you.
Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
You like corn, you like twelve,
You keep a pomade on your shelf
You've got a walnut like myself.
You've got grooves
And you've got shoes
And even though you lose your marbles
And you panic in a crisis I'm in love with you.
Pose was once your man but you scared him away.
Now your man is Dan (that's me!)
And I am here to stay.
Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
If you were blind in one eye, quadriplegic
Or if you lost all your teeth
So that I had to chew your food for you,
No matter what you do,
I can still hear their laughter echo
And the taste of blood in my mouth
How much more can you ask for
You know I already died once before
Can not give away anymore
It's getting to the point where I want nothing at all
Everything I see just burns my eyes
Dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember, but I can not forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
You got me right where you want me
And it's creeping down my spine
All I wanted was nothing
Why don't you step aside
I don't wanna give away anymore
Its getting to the point where I want nothing at all
It's scary and twisting my mind
I can not hide
Dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember, but I can not forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Dancing with the dead
Fear was all that was left when everything turned black
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Too much is never enough
I've been dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember, but I can not forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Dancing with the dead
Fear was all that was left when everything turned black
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Dancing with the dead
I've been dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
It's never enough
Dancing with the dead
I've been dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
In the campaign of lonely, hungry boys
Few make plans and see them through
There is strength in numbers, strength encumbers
All of those who try to see them through
Coping with things beyond their control
With lights and fights and cigarette smoke
They hope to command an impressive show
If only for their own peace of mind
They hope to command an impressive blow
If only for their own peace of mind
The likes of these cannot be contained
By promises, laughter, or time
Passionate are their intentions
Coveted now is their membership
To the army of the lonely, hungry boys
Who follow outdated principles
And whose dreams spur them on still
At least they didn't sleep the day away
And whose dreams spur them on still
At least they didn't sleep the day away
The likes of these cannot be contained
By promises, laughter, or time
Passionate are their intentions
Coveted now is their membership
To the army of the lonely, hungry boys
Who follow outdated principles
Without which they couldn't even bear
Growing up I had it rough.
Although I hated work
it taught me just enough.
To know there ain't no application
for the job that I've been chasin'
and I'm looking for a diamond in the rough.
And as it seems to me
that if it was just a phase
it would've passed around eighteen
(but it didn't and I'm in it
past the point of giving in
so make your wagers
place your bets and
shut your mouths about regrets
and how we're screwed).
You climb the rung,
I'll keep my head
and I'll take all the crap
you're giving me instead.
Cause we'll be driving to a show
while you'll be working at the store
and checking out some lady buying wonder bread.
And as it seems to me
that there are lots of cool jobs
but just a few that interest me.
I never wanted to work
inside a shop as a clerk
or build my pension plan
by being a company man.
I want to be In A Band.
My parents still don't understand.
Just add it up, you'll see the crux.
From all our arguments we've gathered
just enough to know we're quicker than a hare
and smarter than the average bear
and just because itself is reason just enough.
And as it seems to me
that the sheer volume of pay
is not a gauge of self-esteem.
I never wanted to work
inside a shop as a clerk
or build my pension plan
by being a company man.
I wanted to be In A Band.
We've got a penchant for fun,
and groove for everyone.
I want to be In A Band.
If you're concerned with the odds
you'd better never begin.
Veterinarian, garbage man
or public speaking from a stand
or pulling teeth or sweeping streets
are all real cool and need to be done
but not by me.
I want to be In A Band (black coffee and wrong turns)
I want to make the supply
and then create the demand.
I want to be In A Band (banned from all the big clubs)
Supply side economics
fit to make you happy...
be In A Band (beer drinking and mayhem)
We've got a penchant for fun
and groove for everyone.
I want to be In A Band (bandanas and make-up).
Hey kid! Yeah you!
You see I dropped my pencil.
Pick it up! Hurry up! Whatcha waiting for, don't be so slow.
We got our eyes, got our eyes on you.
We got our eyes, got our eyes on you, boy.
We got our eyes, got our eyes on you.
We got our eyes, gotterdammerung Deutschland.
Fatheads hold me down and say, 'You've got a lot to learn!'
I get beat up every day, I've got a lot to learn.
Milk will make me strong, you say, drink it and you will see,
But it seems like cows have better sense than me, yeah.
Hey kid! Yeah you!
Gonna hit you with a ball in gym class.
Hey kid! Who me? Yeah you!
Gonna throw you at a wall in gym class.
Gonna dress you up in girl's clothes.
Gonna throw my fist at your nose.
And if you try to escape us,
Gonna get you when you're on the school bus.
Carpet fibers in my teeth, I've got a lot to learn.
What about my self-esteem? I've got a lot to learn.
Milk will make me strong, you say, drink it and you will see,
But it seems that cows have better sense than me, yeah
Getting strong, it takes too long
To become like Henry Rollins.
Every dog has his day
One day you'll see me.
I know things that you don't know,
You've got a lot to learn.
My bones will break before they grow,
I've got a lot to learn.
Milk will make me strong, you say, drink it and you will see,
Must be the chronic that got these nigga thinkin they bionic
They better get the hell of that gin and tonic
Bring the blues, I shatter and batter crews
Can't lose, don't snooze on the 30 shot
Who's on my my hip when I leave my residence
Get me fed I spit lead and leave u dead like presidents
Shit is silly, bust the sequel
I'm runnin from the cops and still gotta watch for my own people
Stress leads me down the path of redrum
Smart enough get some mad enough take some
Want some, need some, fuck around and bleed some
Don't get dumb, I'll beat that ass like a drum
Hostility is buildin on a daily basis
Sick of all the nonsense save the mean faces, I ain't scared
Of you
My glock erases wrinkles leavin expressions of pain
Can't think with a bullet in your f'n brain
I hop skip and jump bail
I ain't goin upstate again
I'm in the alley hidin in a garbage pail
Peep the style of the runaway child
Livin wild, poppin stick like noon now
Ooh child, things ain't gettin no easier
My hair is gettin peazier, I'm lovin it don't worry
Be nappy on the regular, live long and prosper
Get yours, love your mom, safe sex, etc...
The streets are filled with temptaion and madd sin
The last thing we need is saint ives
Suicide on the rise, everybody think they uzi weighs a tonne
Shit's gettin hectic, too much redrum
Chorus (x3)
Everybody wan heaven, them not wan dead
Redrum
99 bottles of beer on the wall all u need is 2 niggas
To drink them all
And start illin, think about killin a villain on your way to hell, where sa-tan dwell
Can't tell who's good or bad
Who's got love, or who's jealous
Who's sceamin, who's the angel
Who's the demon, who's the nigga fiendin
Mass confusion over illusions, brothers cruisin
With the shotty, la de da de, they came to party
Ready to lick shots like lollipops
On blocks it's hot, anybody can get shot even cops
When it rains it pours, bullets have no names
It puts a strain on my brain, as I try to maintain
It's drivin me crazy but I can walk from here
I feel close to insane, I gots no fear
My mental is scrambled like eggs
It fucks me up, everytime I see a black man when he begs
Washin windows, tap dancin, prancin, struttin
Most of the time people give his ass nuttin!
A quarter here, a quarter there, now u know why we murda
Bein homeless, to me is unheard of
I'll do whatever I gotta do
And if I get locked then I got 3 hots and cot true
But jail cells are full with niggas, every day
Mayday, they're gotta be a better way
To make it is easy, to keep it is the hard shit
U need some lessons to move on up like the jefferson's
Some aim teks to get respect, where rolex'
Drive a phat lex around the projects
Flexin and plexin until they catch a dum-dum slug
Shit is bugged on the streets, too much redrum
Chorus (x6)
Everybody wan heaven... heaven...
In the eighties, I had a radio.
I had a real bad haircut
And nowhere to go except Aladdin's Castle and Eckerd Drugs.
She had sweat bands, she liked to break dance.
She wore a pair of shiny parachute pants.
I was geek and she was a superstar.
Was it just, was it just, was it just too much to ask?
Worlds were in the space between us.
I guess I should've made a sacrifice
Or tried to meet her set of standards.
I had a pretty good collection of Masters of the Universe.
I had Boba Fett and Greedo and I was pushing seventeen.
She had tapes of Chaka Khan and Kenny Loggins,
She knew how to backwards skate.
She had eyes that looked around for the boys
Who I had lately grown to hate.
At the time I was working on a novel
Just another fruitless side distraction.
I sometimes wondered what she would think of that
What if I had wowed her with some fiction
Over wine and crackers by a lakeside?
Would she have just stood back up and moonwalked home?
was it just too much to ask?
Worlds were in the space between us.
I guess I should've made a sacrifice
Or tried to meet her set of standards.
But she didn't have respect for the Stray Cats,
I didn't have respect for that.
Rubik's Cubes were not my style and they're still not
I was into D&D.;
Nanananananananananana
Solo
When I look back upon the eighties
I never get pissed off at Ronald Reagan.
I never paid attention to him back then.
But that chick who wore the parachute pants,
The one who broke my heart, the one who broke danced.
I just hope that one day we'll meet again.
I'm not sure, I'm not sure, I'm not sure, no I'm not sure.
I'm not sure what I would do,
I'm not sure if even matters
Because I know wherever she is
She's got something stuck up in her ass
And the closer to the shore that my ship gets
She can only, she can only, she can only eat herself alive
Eat herself alive.
I can still hear their laughter echo
And the taste of blood in my mouth
How much more can you ask for
You know I already died once before
Can not give away anymore
It's getting to the point where I want nothing at all
Everything I see just burns my eyes
Dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember, but I can not forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
You got me right where you want me
And it's creeping down my spine
All I wanted was nothing
Why don't you step aside
I don't wanna give away anymore
Its getting to the point where I want nothing at all
It's scary and twisting my mind
I can not hide
Dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember, but I can not forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Dancing with the dead
Fear was all that was left when everything turned black
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Too much is never enough
I've been dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember, but I can not forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Dancing with the dead
Fear was all that was left when everything turned black
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Dancing with the dead
I've been dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
It's never enough
Dancing with the dead
I've been dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
A man once told us that no man is an island
But I know a man that thinks he's an island
Drifting out to the sea, sand in his ears and lies on his tongue.
Jungle grows in your mind when you're an island.
Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear.
Deep down inside he wants out of here, he wants out of here
Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear.
The Island of Fear, he drank too much beer,
Went home with a queer.
Filthy, hungry cannibals ringed around his soul.
He's tied with the hair of shrunken heads to a bamboo pole.
He could drive them away with a flick of his wrist
or an ounce of self-denial.
Or a good deed done without asking for it back.
Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear.
Deep down inside he wants out of here, he wants out of here
Welcome to the Island of Fear, the Island of Fear.
The Island of Fear, he drank too much beer,
Went home with a queer.
No one visits desert islands, no one likes to waste their time
Way back in 1982...
My friends and me, We had some work to do
But still we stuck to our guns
And made a whole lot of fun
Af those who toed the line
As we all bent the rules.
But now there's nothing left to do.
Brakes failed and the car kept driving.
Back-up plan fell through.
Better call the cops 'cause you know we're not stopping.
Call the scrubs
When the quarterback chokes and you're in trouble.
Call the scrubs
'Cause it's shirts and skins and we're in warm-ups.
Call the scrubs
From the punk rock bars to the high school halls,
A wealth of rising possibilities...
A royal society of weirdos, losers and freaks.
Their fashion sense can be bad,
But that's okay with me.
I'll tell you what I will do,
I'll pay my membership dues
And watch you spin your wheels And lose your fuel
And now there's nothing left to do.
Brakes failed and the car kept driving.
Back-up plan fell through.
Better call the cops 'cause you know we're not stopping.
Call the scrubs
When the quarterback chokes and you're in trouble.
Call the scrubs
'Cause it's shirts and skins and we're in warm-ups.
Call the scrubs
From the punk rock bars to the high school halls,
A wealth of rising possibilities...
And the coach is there, but he knows not what to do
And the newspaper says that the first string sucks
But don't look now, Captain of the B-team's
Got a good plan and intends to keep it.
Two men out, batter's passed out,
Takes a look around and the kids are screaming...
Call the scrubs
When the quarterback chokes and you're in trouble.
Call the scrubs
'Cause it's shirts and skins and we're in warm-ups.
Call the scrubs
From the punk rock bars to the high school halls,
Bob Al Hashib was a man of the Nile.
A fez on his head and a whole lot of style.
Shady Rashan liked to kill and to rob
And one day without being provoked
He killed Bob (And that ain't right.)
Well right in the street Bob lay at Shady's feet
And everyone stared, no one dared to compete.
Nobody there dared to compete.
Nobody cared when Bob died
Nobody cared to try and save him
Hey look away pretend like Bob was never there
Unbeknownst to Shady, Bob had a bro who loved him dearly
Bob had a bro who loved him dearly
Chuck is on his way.
Chuck Al Hashib was a man of the sands
A fez on his head and a gun in his hands.
He had thirty knives in a black bandolier,
A bomb in his sock, and a bug in his ear.
Bad news travels fast, so did Chuck, so they say.
For what Shady did Chuck would make Shady pay.
Chuck Al Hashib was on his way.
Nobody cared when Bob died
Nobody cared to try and save him
Hey look away pretend like Bob was never there
Unbeknownst to Shady, Bob had a bro who loved him dearly
Bob had a bro who loved him dearly
Chuck is on his way.
Shady was afraid: he paid assassins to save his ass
And they sharpened up their swords,
Hawked loogs and roared until Chuck arrived.
Slowly across the dunes he came on a camel hard as enamel.
He didn't wait for an invitation,
He whipped out his gun and used it well.
Well, Chuck spent his slugs on the thugs and killed them dead.
He then took his sword and he lopped (ha ha ha) off their heads.
Shady Rashan hurled himself at Chuck's feet
Begging for Chuck to please let him go free.
But Chuck lit his bomb and he blew Shady up
Because Bob was Chuck's brother, you see.
Nobody cared when Bob died
Nobody cared to try and save him
Hey look away pretend like Bob was never there
Unbeknownst to Shady, Bob had a bro who loved him dearly
Bob had a bro who loved him dearly
Chuck is on his way.
Derision ain't so bad, it makes me glad I'm tougher
For failing all that I have...
Take the map and tear it up
We'll find our way anyway.
We'd never gotten this far if we'd followed the road.
If you listen close to most advice you'll never get anywhere.
Take it from myself because, boy, I ought to know.
I was the kindergarten kid with wrinkled clothes.
I dreaded school more than the chicken pox and so I'd go:
'Hey Mom, I'm really feeling sick,
A bit feverish and I know
That if I go to school today,
I'll probably die on the way from this cold!'
Take the map and tear it up
We'll find our way anyway.
We'd never gotten this far if we'd followed the road.
If you listen close to most advice you'll never get anywhere.
Take it from myself because, boy, I ought to know.
'69 Malibu and a date I should have missed.
Warm beer and time to kill and a girl to share it with.
It's really late, I sneak around to the gate
To bust her out the window
Wearing lots of black and blending in to all the shadows.
We spend half of the night getting into a fight.
I wanna make up and she goes:
'Will you take me home?' (NO!)
Let's hear it for derision, for indecision,
The black silhouette appears at my door
Dragging me out, I'm clawing the floorboards.
Pretty soon I'm all heads up
For long bombs and double-knotting my Keds up.
Fake left, go left, quarterback sneak.
Try to wriggle out of it, he'll knock you into next week.
Curve ball, bean ball, spit ball, damn it all.
Sportsnut Alcatraz digging out the back wall.
Don't blame me I don't wanna run a buttonhook
I'm in the middle of a good book.
I quit!
And I don't need to win
I don't wanna be an easy out again.
Why don't you stay here and play with yourself? (repeat)
It's not that I'm weak or don't like outside.
Sometimes I submit and sometimes I hide out,
And it's a lowly existence.
But when the low survives it's from persistence.
Fake left go long, quarterback sneak
Try to wriggle it out of it, I'll knock you into next week.
Man on first, man on third,
Nerd on second with the knees like a bird
Don't blame me I don't wanna run a buttonhook
I'm in the middle of a good book.
I quit!
And I don't need to win
I don't wanna be an easy out again.
Why don't you stay here and play with yourself? (repeat)
Well here's a ball, there's a yard.
Go chase it like a stupid St. Bernard (repeat)
I hate a lotta hate a lotta games
I probably oughta not-
I might've liked 'em better but a stupid St. Bernard
I'm gonna ride on my addiction tide
why don't you come and watch me die
can't get enough - you know I never get enough
I am gonna do it'til I die
and every time I throw my face against the wall
just to know that I am alive
my minds is getting twisted and my body's getting numb
I have succeeded the ultimate rush
leaving it all behind, I need my mind to spin me around
pull me under
suck me in, spit me out, hold me tight cause I am going down
I am what the drugs make me
I am doing time in my toasted mind
crash and burn - I guess I never learn
bring me down on my knees and drag me through the dirt
got nowhere to hide
leaving it all behind, I need the drugs to spin me around
pull me under
suck me in, spit me out, hold me tight cause I am going down
I am what the drugs make me
I fall over
shut me up, throw me out, hold me tight cause I am going
down
I let the drugs help me
I don't wanna be alone
I guess I am not the only one
leaving it all behind, I need the drugs to spin me around
pull me under
suck me in, spit me out, hold me tight cause I am going down
I am what the drugs make me
I fall over
shut me up, throw me out, hold me tight cause I am going down
I let the drugs help me
pull me under
suck me in, spit me out
I fall over
pull me under
shut me up, throw me out
Listen here, try me out,
Can you understand a word that I say?
Life will never turn out the way you want it.
Working hard like a slave, cause you choose to take the honest way
Why do the wind always blow cold and always the wrong way?
You got to keep your head high and try to be strong
They will try to steal everything you own.
It goes on and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
Grab the bull by the horn
Try to make something of your life
You are the only one that can make it happen
The fire in your eyes is slowly fading out
You can not give up your dreams
You got to go
On and on and on
On and on
Giving up is easy
Just to throw away your life
If you want to take control
In my life I've learned a lot, don't give a helping hand
To those who keep faith in god, it's not for me to understand
Beliefs? Is not enough what's coming out of your mouth
I always hide my thoughts, just get away from me
You're not the one
Don't push your problems on me
I'm not the one
You know I'm not your kind
You're not the one
Don't let it get to your head
I'm not the one
You know I'm not your kind
So what god say today, anyone to sacrifice?
Get your head out of your ass
Who's the next one to die
You're not the one
Don't push your problems on me
I'm not the one
You know I'm not your kind
You're not the one
Don't let it get to your head
I'm not the one
You know I'm not your kind
You're not my kind
So you think you can shove lies down my throat
I don't think you understand
I don't give a fuck about your god said so
Just stay away from me
You're not the one
Don't push your problems on me
I'm not the one
You know I'm not your kind
You're not the one
Don't let it get to your head
I'm not the one
Bitch
I'm the king in this dirty game
Be my puppy and lick my erection
Taste my juice while I pull the chain
It feels so sweet, another victim to my collection
You say you've been so naughty
Bu I will teach you to behave
It's my rules and my game
You say you want me
But I'm gonna let you wait
I will make you sweat
And I'll make you beg
Beg for me...
I want your sex and not your love - Bitch
And another one bites the dust - Bitch
I want your sex and not your love - Bitch
And another one bites the dust - Bitch
You look so good when you're all tied up
I might let you go down when I'm done
Why this sad face?
You don't have to be ashamed
Let's seal it with a kiss and end this game
I'm not looking for love
I just need another slave
I want your sex and not your love - Bitch
And another one bites the dust - Bitch
I want your sex and not your love - Bitch
A journey through the space, colours, planets everywhere
We're testing our (in)sanity
A razor across our skins, dropping all these magic pills
Can't you see were floating away
Come take my hand, we'll fly away
We'll move in silence
We'll take a trip inside our heads
Frame by frame
We're not afraid to die
We're not afraid to lose our minds
We're not afraid to face the things we left behind
We're not afraid
Can you feel the vibration now
Turn your body inside out
This is really going to hurt
Diving to the sea of hell
Can you hear the judgment bells
It's ringing for you and I
Hear how it's calling out our names
You better drop another pill
It will never be the same
We're going down
We're not afraid to die
We're not afraid to lose our minds
We're not afraid to face the things we left behind
We're not afraid to cry
We're not afraid to kiss the sky
We're not afraid to face the things we left behind
A constant replay of our lives is flashing before my eyes
A silent movie in black and white
Maybe it got too much too soon
It's getting hot as hell, we're burning up, I think we're gonna crash
We're not afraid to die
We're not afraid to lose our minds
We're not afraid to face the things the we left behind
We're not afraid to cry
We're not afraid to kiss the sky
Can't see faith through the tears
Of my swollen eyes I try to dry
I pretend it's not as bad as it seems
What a lie
How can we be so blind
Every time a child dies?
People are starving, rain forests are falling
The bombs are dropping from the sky
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
(I close my eyes)
I look away from this misery
And I hope the problem will disappear
But it still hurts me every time a child dies
It's like a knife you stab in my heart
And twist it, twist it, twist it around
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
I'm sick of only making peanuts.
I'm sick of stale sandwich bread.
I've got a plan to make it better
And it begins with a simple punch to my head.
Another count and I'm down but I'm wearing him down.
Keeping the faith that I've got what it takes.
Deride my pride but I'll be alright.
I've got a Rocky II lunchbox with bills in it
And I'll scrape by.
I have seen this on some episode
Of Maude, Fish, Chips, or the White Shadow
Rerun in my mind a thousand times
Though I forget the channel.
But I am back in my corner with ice packs and water
The champ's right hook changing my good side to bad.
Too late to make a run for the van
The doc leans in timidly asking about my health plan
I can see the referee wants to go home
(homey's got a wife and family)
And my detractors clap their hands and blow their smoke
(Headline news in next day's sportspage.)
With every second that goes by
I don't mind my swollen eyes.
'Cause I bet on myself and I'm making a killing.
My opponent planned victory, I planned to lose.
My bookie is crying, my wife thinks I'm dying
But I've got a nest egg that's hatching in the final round.
And as I fall to the floor I don't feel so hardcore
My teeth swinging loose like a drunk girl's caboose
My boys in the corner are pensive and somber
And Father O'Reilly is crossing himself more and more
I can see the referee want to go home
(Homey's got a wife and family)
And my detractors move their feet and blow their smoke
(Headline news in next day's sportspage).
'Cause I bet on myself and I'm making a killing.
My opponent planned victory, I planned to lose.
My bookie is crying, my wife thinks I'm dying
But I've got a nest egg that's hatching in the final round.
And the room spins round and round'
The victory party's at my place
After my loss and my disgrace.
'Cause I bet on myself and I'm making a killing.
My opponent planned victory, I planned to lose.
My bookie is crying, my wife thinks I'm dying
But I've got a nest egg that's hatching in the final round.
After a long trip fought for my glory
signed by my blood I came along this village
to find my eternal freedom
It didn't take a long time
And I saw you full of beauty
My feelings told me immediately
That you are the right woman
Pain that's what love will give you
Sooner or later it will be regular
I never thought that I can love
Something more than my sword
The battle and blood
But there was you
I thought about you every day
Your picture in front of me a dream
It didn't take a long time to
demonstrate my affection
and we were falling in love
we lived our dreams night and day
But the end was close
Take a piece of concrete
And stick it in my face
I like to play with razor blades
I hate the human race
Kick me when I'm down
Come up and rip my shirt
My dad will buy another one
Especially if I'm hurt
I dig pain
The feeling in my brain
The scratchin' The bashin' The clawin' The trashin'
The given' The gettin'
And the total blood lettin' Drive me insane
I dig pain
I love to do the pogo
And I love to do the slam
But it's nothing like the feeling
Like a knife stuck in my hand
Now you can never stop me
From being what I choose
And if you try to shut me up
Before the summer fell I already knew
She said I was more than dead
I already knew
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, I just can't take this anymore
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, a knife behind the eyes, a vicious size
Again
I miss my best friend, a growing fear
A lot to sacrifice
Or draw to an end
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, I just can't take this anymore
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, a knife behind the eyes, a vicious size
Again, again, again, again, again, again
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, I just can't take this anymore
Pain, here it comes again
Pain, a knife behind the eyes
A vicious, vicious, vicious pain
Pain, here it comes
Pain, here it comes
Pain, here it comes
You'll never make me feel it, although you probably could.
I won't accept this failure even though you say I should.
I'll grit my teeth and bear this raping of my common sense,
And wait the morning that inevitably will rinse
Away the innocence now broken down between these lies,
That fire so rapidly and try to cleave my stiffened thighs.
But if I swallow, know I swallow blood here with your smiling
Scarred and greasy face amongst the rot and piss and bile.
You suffering does no damage to me,
I'm a tool of your greed and your lies to succeed,
You've built this tiny little empire on the weakest
of foundations will your jealousy and guilt never tire?
This blood is boiling over, this heart so near to burst,
if it weren't for this hunger, I would have died of thirst.
This head is pounding louder, this will sees through your lies,
you're made of nothing in the end, you're all that I despise.
Surround yourself with doubt, put money in your veins
Immersed within your outs, you deserve your pain.
I feel your pain
Almost lost it all
You are all the same
The wounded bleed to death
Tarnish my name
You deserve nothing at all...
You knew that life was a game...
You deserve nothing at all...
You must endure your own PAIN!
Life in the dark without a light
Hollow empty
Let’s get it right
You deserve nothing at all...
You knew that life was a game...
You deserve nothing at all...
Red dress serpent...
Just stop it..
Just stop it...
Red dress serpent and you’ll stay here!
You deserve nothing at all...
You knew that life was a game...
You deserve nothing at all...
Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain

Thats why I'm in the hood I don't be where the stars is
One of my records is platinum but all of my cars is

Brinin these niggaz eatin the ground of air born
And you just runnin your mouth, stay in your house
If you don't know nuttin about no PAIN!
Holding us together
Then we're tearing us apart
It's tragic then it's beautiful
We shine and then it's dark
Feeling like a little kid
Because I can't let go
Every time I think about
The things that I can't live without
Well I must love the pain
Misunderstood and complicated
Happiness is overrated
I must love the pain
Everytime you draw me in
I take a step away
Maybe I'm just restless
'Cause I want
What I can't take
It's a shame that nothing else on earth
Can make me feel this way
Feelin' like a little kid because I can't let go
Well, I must love the pain
All these words rushing round inside my head
All these thoughts we held so close and still we never said
All these dreams I can't believe, I would do for you
Holding on is there anything left to loose
Something beautiful about you, just can't explain
Found it in the rain, I found it in the rain
So much pain, so much pain is coming down
Will you hold me close again, hold me close again
So much pain, so much pain is coming down
Will you hold me close again, hold me close again
I cannot understand, I tried so hard to understand
All this love I have for you, forever and a day
All these words don't mean much, when we turn our backs away
All these thoughts will be crushed if there's nothing left to say
I will not remain silenced by the claim that it hurts
I will fight for love, I will fight for what it once was
Something beautiful about you, just can't explain
Found it in the rain, found it in the rain
So much pain, so much pain is coming down
Will you hold me close again, hold me close again
So much pain, so much pain is coming down
Will you hold me close again, hold me close again
So much pain, so much pain is coming down
In the flow of time
Infinity devine
A piece of eternity
Is all I could ever be
I recall all the incidence
Which had caused me pain
All the years which passed me by
That's what I call pain
I sought experience
I longed for wisdom
Pride and hope are just like dope
A lifetime travesty
I recall all the incidence
Which had caused me pain
All the years which passed me by
That's what I call pain
I recall all the incidence
Which had caused me pain
All the years which passed me by
That's what I call pain
Regret sits heavy in your chest
until sometimes-it gets so hard to breathe
Sometimes it just wont go away,and you start to feel it'll never leave
And when you think back on those times
it seems so close,just beyond your reach
but the past vanishes like smoke from a cigarette in the night breeze
Please stop this pain
Hurt for so long
pain,Hurt for so long
I've felt this way for so long
How is it that things turnd out this way?
What you hold most dear has come and gone
Since the time that everything was right
and Now it just feels wrong, oh so wrong
And your still dreaming of a time
When the day will come that was meant to be
And your still dreaming of a way
To reach that place that you've never been
Please stop this pain
Hurt for so long
Pain,Hurt for so long
I've felt this way for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
Pain
Hurt for so long
The necks of this youth
With their necks through this noose
We're told lies like it's truth
And we suspect that it's you
So you strap them with the AK
It's motherfucking may day
They swear I'm fucking crazy
Ain't nothing gonna save me
I'm breaking, I feel it
I'm naked, I'm kneeling
I'm shaking, I'm reeling
My God, I keep bleeding
I watch the world die for crimson eyes
I cry, it turns to night
I die, I see the light
And now, I'll say goodbye
Now, I can see your pain
I'm sorry, goodbye
I cry so hard
Now, I can see your pain
I'm sorry, goodbye
I cry tonight
If I could take all this pain away
Use the rage of our youth today
Whose to say that it's you to blame?
It's the people above you
The ones who say that they love you
Look what the world has come to
So, now it's time to say fuck yourself
You can and they drug you
When no one is staring
When they numb you
Fill you with terror and crush you
Pretend they care as they shove you
So, you look to me to find the truth
And what I say is what you do
But everyone you look up to
Is really as fucked up as you
Time is getting shorter
With these enforcers' orders
And we get blamed and pushed around
Who's the fucking villain now?
Now, I can see your pain
I'm sorry, goodbye
I cry so hard
Now, I can see your pain
I'm sorry, goodbye
I cry tonight
We can't stop now, we're so close now
'Cause these times are almost over
I wont give up, so, God save us
It feels like we're getting closer
We can't stop now, we're so close now
'Cause these times are almost over
I wont give up, so, God save us
Now, I can see your pain
I'm sorry, goodbye
I cry so hard
Now, I can see your pain
I'm sorry, goodbye
I cry tonight
Goodbye
I cry tonight
I'll cry tonight
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
You're sick of feeling numb
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand
This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Anger and agony
Are better than misery
Trust me, I've got a plan
When the lights go off, you will understand
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing, rather feel pain
I know, I know that you're wounded
You know, you know that I'm here to save you
You know, you know I'm always here for you
I know, I know that you'll thank me later
Pain, without love
Pain, can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain
Feed me. Heed me!
This is real. This pain inside I feel.
To vanquish in my life. All in vain, but the memories will remain.
To haunt me in my strife.
Do it your way.
But I am hungry for your blood.
Please leave my kind alone.
Leave me alone.
I am hungry for your blood.
My search in life is filled with pain.
Feed me. Heed me!
Feed me with your pain!
Do it your way.
But I am hungry for your blood.
Please leave my kind alone.
Leave me alone.
I am hungry for your blood.
My search in life is filled with pain.
Feelings of doubt. õ
Deep within abound.
Rivers of tears wash away my fear.
Will I ever be by your side wherever we'd go?
You're my brother.
You're my best friend.
Only we will know.
I stared into your eyes each day.
Now I'd wish it could be for real.
Would you ever look into mine if you'd know how I feel?
I will not break in the shadows of deceit.
All love not lost.
Nothing gained.
Doesn't matter the cost.
Leave no regrets.
No control upon my soul.
Leave me alone.
Stay with me.
And feel the grip of my despair.
Contradiction reigns!
Driving me insane!
Do it your way.
But I am hungry for your blood.
Please leave my kind alone.
Leave me alone.
I am hungry for your blood.
You cannot run or hide
From the pain that lives inside
Taking everything you own
As we speak its taking your soul
It will never wait
It anticipates
Every move you make
Sends you out of control
The rage inside, you can feel it grow
The knife in your heart, it begins to show
You run and you run but cant get away
From the agony of the pain
You cannot stop it now
Every nerve in your body growls
Mind craves spirit unrest
Heres to the curse that now lay at rest
It will never wait
It anticipates
Every move you make
Sends you out of control
The rage inside, you can feel it grow
A knife in the heart, it begins to show
I run and I run but cant get away
There's no tomorrow for you, losers
And no salvation from my pain
So, stop to live in your illusions
Why don't you see we're all unchained?
Oh, come with me
And ogether we'll be free
'cause today
It's a good day to die
I am the prince who chose to fall down
I thrown my holy wings away
Oh, come with me
And ogether we'll be free
'cause today
It's a good day to die
In this night we're gonna be free forever
Rebel angels, yes we want be free tonight!
Blood and fire,
Winged shapes of steel
Spit on the ground
Let the war begin!
Hail to winners
Now and ever
Pain for losers, pain for me...
Oh, come with me
And ogether we'll be free
'cause today
It's a good day to die
In this night we're gonna be free forever
[Hook:]
Right now I hear
But I wanna see
I need you to show me
You bottle my tears
Pain is the key
To making me Holy
[Verse 1:]
Yeah
Dark clouds in the sky turn into rain
I know you wanna cry from the hurt and pain
It's hard to see God in the eye of the hurricane
And so you wanna turn away from this chapter in your life wanna turn the page
It's the hard knock life and the earth's decaying
Trying hard not to murmur and complain
It's easier said than than done with those hunger pangs
You can't even buy your son Burger King
Just got laid off so currently
Trying to make ends meet and that's a further strain
I know you're stressed out gotta learn to pray
So God can give you peace for the burdens laid
Down at his feet where the servants lay
He loves you, so don't turn away
You in the fire, but won't burn in the flame
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
I know it's cold in the winter months
And I know that that trial you in the middle of
Man I know it might feel like a little much
I know it might feel like a little much
And though deliverance is slow like the little bus
Don't faint stand firm no givin' up
Understand that, God won't give you more than you can bear
Your trials are just little cubs
Big Him, big plan, man little us
I know the season in your life is a little rough
I know you're drinking up strife from the bitter cup
God is painting a picture of
Himself, so it's gotta be beautiful
He's gotta use bright colors and muted tones
Gotta use life's comforts and funerals
I know it hurts, but it helps you to grow
[Hook]
{God is using pain in our lives
Help us grow. Help us get older.}
[Verse 3:]
Yeah
Praise God that the Father is forming us
Shaping, making, and conforming us
So at times our pain is to grow us up
Other times my pain is for someone else
Cause death in me is life in you
That's what we see when He died for you
'Cause one man's pain is another's pleasure
Just as one man's trash is another's treasure
'Cause sometimes God will cause the pain
He'll create the fire and the rain
I hear you praying Lord take it all away
But if He won't it's because He knows what it takes
To produce fruit and make his people whole
He knows when pressure is applied to coal
A beautiful diamond is the goal
You're in the fire but you're coming out as pure gold
[Hook]
{See I think it's important for us to have a big picture
Perspective on pain. A lot of times, we see pain as a bad
Thing; trials, suffering, you see it as a bad thing. But when
We look in the scriptures, we see that God prescribes pain.
He doesn't just allow it he causes it sometimes; read
Deuteronomy chapter 8. But it's so necessary, because in it
He conforms us into the image and the likeness of His Son.
So I just wanna encourage the people of God, please understand
All you feel, you feel it, it’s all around
Watching you faulter, the eyes you burn
Said what you want, you said your peace
I don’t want to hear it
The pain that you feel
Hope it’s bringing you down
The pain that you feel
What you want, I want it, give it to me now
That’s your problem, take care of yourself
You hypocrite, telling me to quit
Time and time again
The pain that you feel
Hope it’s bringing you down
The pain that you feel
I told you you were gonna feel pain
The pain that you feel
Hope it’s bringing you down
"I've seen the pain before
Teardrops in their eyes
Others that we've torn
To take away their pride
I've felt the pain before
Tearing skin and bone
To evil we conform
Weakness we have known
[CHORUS]
Feel the Pain
I've heard the pain before
Another hollow tie
To escape the cold
Whisperer of good-bye
I've held the pain before
The agony en masse
Melting arms to mourn
The beauty of the past
When I see the darkness below me
I hear the weeping of the damned
My spirit flies from the shadows
Into the forest that we share
Never shall the winds betray me
Only you will know me as I am
I turn from the eyes of winter
And cast away the burden that I bear...
I've seen the pain before circling our laughs
Like vultures whom we scorn
In the vengeance of our wrath
But somewhere in the black
Crystal hearts adorn
The wings of yeaterday
So I can be reborn"
My eyes staring at me laughing at me
Needle pushing red
No fear no exception life's rejection
Life can end up dead
Low down silent warning voices calling
Hell is stalking me
I breathe deadly passion living fashion
Damage I can't see
Take this pain away
White heat shooting pleasure made to measure
Tearing through my mind
Hell fire burning faster my disaster
Product of the time
Hard-core cell erosion soul corrosion
Terminal decay
I seek system falling death is waiting
Death do I obey
Take this pain away
Call it violence
Call it trust
Call it pleasure
Call it lust
Pain is horror
Pain is torture
Pain is never enough
Feel the anger
Feel the hate
Feel the madness I create
Pain is human
Pain is power
Gonna fuck you up
I can't stand this pain
This fucking agony
Is driving me insane
Twisting screaming bleeding hating
In my veins manipulating
Crawling craving lifeblood taking
I'm breaking up I'm breaking down
Take this pain away
Call it violence
Call it trust
Call it pleasure
Call it lust
Pain is horror
Pain is torture
Pain is never enough
Feel the anger
Feel the hate
Feel the madness I create
Pain is human
Pain is power
Have you ever run into
The harsh mediocracy
Of the people around you
The people who you never thought
Could give you so much pain
Give you so much despair
And the regret realizing
What was the fucking hidden reality
What was the fucking hidden reality?
And after that it's difficult
To find again the ability
To remain capable of living
With a belief in dreams
Although you know you are truly
All alone
Now I found the truth
I think it was better
To not search too far away
Never ever
But now I've done it
Have you ever made a choice
Against your will?
But you've been taken on that way
Only â'cause there weren't
Other ways to solve
The question
To come back and change
Others' falsity and the unfair past.

Torn, apart, her face,
ripped from her fleshy skull,
her scalp, degloved,
what an horrific site,
with inches from her life,
and all that's left inside,
confusion's in her mind,
her luck's run out,
Tormented cries coming from inside,
ride with her into the state of...
a brutal act but she did well,
to tolerate the anguish of that night,
the anguish of that night
Torn, apart, her face,
ripped from her fleshy skull,
her scalp, degloved,
what an horrific site,
with inches from her life,
and all that's left inside,
confusion's in her mind,
No man is safe from (pain)
Broken arm, broken heart, shattered dreams
Tongue piercings lost at rates
Punched in the face by the local thug
Bent over, caught the stomach flu bug
While hitting it from the back burnt your knee on the rug
Last hug from the homie
Before he flies out to Pelican for the long stretch
Tattooed sketch takes two days to complete
Father never was around, deadbeat nigga
Tossed in the Hudson with concrete feet
Yoga master hypnotized known to defeat
And remain calm, blisters on the palm
Then only bring home half pay
Need a fix, locked up in the halfway
S&M; freaks add a little when they do the nasty
When I die, pray that it's done in a fast way
Don't want no long stroll down pain's pathway
All life long playing the game in order to gain
Taking in the pain
Chorus
Well I guess you want to place your rays
Or have wild escapades, let your tongue
Cut the truth down like sling blades
Hard to rest your head on the mess that we made
Better let it go now while there's lessons to save
Every day's a close shave, cause I'm on
Somebody might take you to the grave
Cutting off your light of life, picture me a slave
Shit, shelters always cave and eventually
The inner trap's set me free from pain
To most pain is unappealing
But pain is what we're feeling
Needing healing, so much pressure is building
In the presence of pressure
We keep building until the ending
The love child runs wild
Through the concrete jungle
Trying to stay true to self and humble
Trying to make the money pile
Cats used to walk over me like a tile
But now it's them that's going down in a spiral
Cause they're trapped in denial
We keep ours as swift as the feet of Mercury
Or the arms of Hercules, yours is weak as an Achilles
The people feel these like a summer breeze
From city to city, international
Multiracial faces in all places
The sun shines brightest on smiling faces
Today is that day when the pain erases
To most pain is unappealing
But pain is what we're feeling
Needing healing, so much pressure is building
In the presence of pressure
We keep building until the ending
I bet you got get-up-and-go power
It's time to grow, flower
Let the rain wash the pain from plains of indigo
Hard to tender when defending your name off pinnacles
Reclaim in intervals until you're strong again
Strong and sane with the stronger aim
My eyes dilate to see all the gain
And it's all the same, we're all to blame
For giving and receiving hate
This is the end of the pain
I found my heart, I can't explain,
The feeling you merited in my heart.
This feeling could tear me apart.
Outside I am cold,
but inside im on fire.
Its you, I wanted to hold.
This is my only desire, 'cause this is
the end.
This is the-end.
This is the end.
Now your body is lying there,
Without a word to say.
There is no breath in the air,
I know you are far away.
The feelings of what I've done,
The words that I've been told
Are coming closer to my mind, and make
my head explode,
`cause this is the end.
This is the-end.
This is the end.
I realize what I have done,
I realize the pain has begun.
I realize this cold cold heart,
I realized I teared you apart.
The pain now grows bigger in me.
The pain now is killing me.
But there is no hope, no help to see...
Time, waits for no one
Cares for no one, anywhere
Maybe you're a deceiver
Maybe you were used
Maybe mistreated
Maybe abused
Maybe you're the victim
Maybe the accused...I don't care
Time, waits for no one
Time, cares for no one, time
Time, waits for no one 'round here
It waits for no one anywhere
Time's just an observation of...
Pain, waits for no one
Cares for no one, anywhere
Maybe you're a dealer
Maybe you're a priest
Maybe you're Jesus
With no true belief
Maybe you're a giver
Maybe the thief...I don't care
Time, waits for no one
Time, cares for no one, time
Time, waits for no one 'round here
It waits for no one anywhere
Time's just an observation of...
Pain
Maybe you're a deceiver
Maybe you were used
Maybe mistreated
Maybe just abused
Maybe you're a victim
Maybe the accused...I don't care
I don't care
Pain
Waits for no one
Pain
I’ve got pain in my body
But I’m sure it will pass
I’ve got pain in my body
But I’m sure it will pass
Now, my father died of a deadly disease
And my mother died of a deadly disease
I’ve got pain in my body
But I’m sure it will pass I've got pain in my body
I don’t need any doctor, no
I’ve got pain in my body
I don’t need any healer
Now, my sister died of a deadly disease
And my brother died of a deadly disease
I’ve got pain in my body
But I’m sure it will pass
[Music: Smail]
[Lyrics: Smail]
Emotions rise like wisps of smoke
Too soon to dissipate
Warm days now blowing colder
Sunny days all turn to grey
Solitude can bring on peace
Or a piece of loneliness
Drifting on a jaded sea
Losing what I thought was me
The sound of silence is deafening
Screaming from every pore
Overwhelming me
Don't want to feel no more
Holding hope when there's none
Living in a world of no love
Crying out in vain
The only thing that's left is...
PAIN
I've come to know you so many times
In so many ways
The more things change the more they stay the same
Oh how I love this little game
What delight! In the dead of night
With you at my side
I've come to love this feeling of
What you bring to me inside
Lying, writhing this agony
From the depths of night
I lay my head in solitude
Like I'm the only one alive
Reserve myself to the fact
That nothing's ever gonna change
Embrace this hell I know so well
Oh how I love you PAIN
Nothing lasts
And nothing is real
Nothing lasts
Life is surreal
Intro:
"you feel some pain, but I'm known, you can't here me"
"get out of my head" *gun shot*
What, ("you feel some pain..")
It's like this, what, what
Check it out, yo
[shogun assasson]
This is war niggaz, a duel to the death
You better make sure your swords sharp
And you got a lyin' heart
Cause, I strike for the throat
And stab them with a deadly note
That pierces the eardrums
Those are the equally grym
Now you're stunned
Another victim of the shogun
A spinal chop to the cerebellum
So, go ahead, try to run in advance
Cause I stand firm on my warrior stance
Ready to be-head you, dead you
Rid your body of a soul, make it an empty vessel
Because, your rhymes ain't punctual
My actual or factual, that's why I verbally attack you
[islord]
Yo, aiyyo, aiyyo, aiyyo check this
Thousand dollar line for line paragraph causin' ruckus
Towards y'all, weak motherfuckin analog niggaz
Tryin' to come into the mist of my digital shit
You get flipped on, snapped on your collar bone
And a spike, cause I don't like snake niggaz in my eyesight
Cause, I'm so agile and so quick to pull
My razorblade sharp sword out the case
And chop your face, disgrace y'all to another place with
No traces left behind, where the body was laid out
For the coroners to figure out
That it was one swing from the guillotine
That decapitated his head from his shoulders
"you can't here me"
"get out of my head"
[beretta 9]
Yo, we're holdin' straps of fire to make gunmen retire
Or pisteens slugs that penitrated your entire
Physical, that left niggaz critical
Killarmy the black son to make all fuckin nine planets digable
With the science to control ninety-nine, keep all minds alligned
All the selfish will be dealt with by the nine
M-m which stands for marksman, regard the last swordsman
Which chop off your head if you don't live accordin
I sincerely love allah's mathmatics, camouflage fabrics
I got a revolver, fuck automatics, the black asaitic
Lick em off to a shot at your motherfuckin attic

[9th prince]
Yo, I'm a legendary swordsman, bionic man like state forces
Seven horsemen, wu-ninjas move across coarse sands
I murder niggaz wit my bare hands
It's darkness in the wu-caves
We hang crusades, salute grenades, the sixty ways like frave
My pistol has an infer-red, as an eagle
Loitor will lag, blast the brains out of apple heads
I leave mc's and dj's on twists at deathbeds
Underworld statis, the black knight like latice
Destroy the midnight train, my domain is built like alactics
Beretta 9 the killin' machine
Shogun assason is that nigga who chases you in your dreams
Killa sin will kill again with the same knife
The thief of bagdad could steal your life
Pr terrorist and prince sadaam moves the middle-east region
It's razorblade season, so all you putty-faced niggaz is badly bleedin
[killa sin]
Yo, I'm like a landmine, schemin' on air-time
Keepin' on the standby, flight and blow the crowd with their hands high
For now I amplify sounds of the coliseum down
First round, face down, lace clowns like a nightgown
Light brown, deck them down
Eyes wide as I recite, beamin' the mic
With satellites, tri-state cream
To travel right, fleein' the scene
Team fights with the livest mc's
So, killarm, strike your moment of silence
Live degrees, well you're eatin' them off
That's the reason why your legion fell off
You popped corns wanna be war pawns
Once, the war's on, and al pachino won the last of red dawn
Open mic session, bury you
Spark a party up, somethin terrible
The pain that my niggaz bring forth is unbearable
Yo, I'm tellin' you...it's da fuck
Outro:*various talk over samples*
"arm make them, killarm's born man"
"you feel some pain, but I'm known, you can't here me"
"get out of my head" *gun shot*
"...born man, killarm's born man"
"you feel some pain, but I'm known, you can't here me"
"get out of my head"
"you feel some pain, but I'm known, you can't here me"
Your life is aimless and insane there's something wrong inside your brain
And day by day it's still the same there ain't no drug to kill your pain
Every hour you sink more in the mire you deplore
There's no excuse to justify the wasting pain that blinds you eyes
You're the sick among the pure and you're looking for the cure
You're too stupid to realize your life is just a compromise
You're so filled with the disease and you're bowed on your knees
No one care of what you say that's the price you gotta pay
So find a way out Tell me a lie
Do anything that could loosen your strain
Another chance Another drug Another pill to relieve this damn pain
Your pain
No one will assuage your pain
And all your efforts are vain
An endless day of lite routine tied to the wheel of its machine
With a bar-code on your skin you can't forget all that you've been
Self-deception is your dope 'cause you know there is no hope
Fight against conformity lose your own identity
You go back to the cage draw a new line
Live your mistakes over and over again
Anothe chance Anoter drug Another pill to relieve this damn pain
Your pain
No one will assuage your pain
And all your efforts are vain
How deep is your sorrow? How deep is your pain?
Your pain
No one will assuage your pain
Of all the stories that have ever been written
I've been assailed
Right off the page
Winter fell across the floor in silence
I just stopped and wondered why
Well it's a cold and strange sad situation
Off the shore tossed by by the waves
My every other word misunderstood why
I'd ever speak out loud again
Clinging on so tight
I bled my hands
I draw the shades
And hang my head and run
All those simple things
Essential to me
You cast aside
To go and be alone
You can't see the way I grieve
Love's the air I need to breath
I hope you understand
Just need to find myself again
I see no choice but leaving
So tired of flying alone
On the battlefield
You were never there beside me
Who will I be if I recover from this?
I'm not the enemy
There's so much good inside me
The real you left and never came back home
Round and round oh
There is a rhythm where
Two hearts should meet
A sense of comfort and
A point of common ground
To have and then to hold and then to cry
And then to break upon the waves
You see me through dark eyes
That color me wrong
Immersed inside a world
Where charity dies
And what of all that talk of
How two become one and
I hope you understand
Just need to find some grace again
There seems to be no reason
Rejected off and away
On the battlefield
You were never there beside me
Who will I be should I recover from this?
There are no enemies
Just death of love inside me
The bitter truth of this has come back home
[Intro]
Yeah, feel my pain
Filled with pain
It's a struggle everyday
Did I walk in the right door?
I don't know
Yeah
I never back down, I do what it takes me
Things gettin' shaky, can't let it break me
A lot love us, some hate me
Some friends snake me
Sometimes the shit just make me
Wanna grab the tote and lose it
It ain't just tracks and raps
It's a whole other side to music
Things you can't see on MTV, but it's here
Lord, what's happened to me?
I'm really out there
Was this the right door to walk in?
Lips movin', but ain't nobody talkin'
I plead and I cry to the Heaven skies above to show me love
Wish that I could backtrack and make it like it was, but I can't
[1:]
When the pain's in me
I wish that it would let me be
But where can I run and where do I turn
When it's chasin' me?
[Repeat 1]
I got to deal with the what IS, fuck what IF's
Got to put it down and make it right for my kids
How many parties, how many bottles gotta pop?
How many more gots to die?
When this shit gon' stop?
I feel it in my heart, but I plays my part
It's a whole bigger picture so stay true to your art
Until I'm hauled off in the car
Swear it wasn't this dark when I got my start
Internin', been chart burnin', kept learnin'
Kept earnin', and the wheels kept turnin'
But after all the hit songs and the fame is gone
Your money right, but everything else done gone wrong
You're lonely, a lot of bitches is phony
Wanna know me just to tell niggas we homies
Whole time bitch schemin' on my Rolley
It's hard to watch everyone you with
When you rich, niggas with you try to get you
Plenty wanna hit you, I learned it now
It was no way out, now it's no turnin' around
Niggas that was with me, I praise 'em now
A toast to the Red Zone, raise 'em now
[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]
Silence, all eyes on me
But I can see through 'em like I knew 'em, so I walk to 'em
Extend my hand, try to talk to 'em
Stand while others ran and try to understand
Two sides of a story, let me tell my side of it
It's evident, it's there, I can't hide from it
How much for the soul in the window?
Most wanna be rich and famous
It's dangerous, you'll find out in a minute though
I love the close ones, sometimes feel like I got no one
Those that was there, I know I owe 'em
Backstabbers, I brush 'em off
In a room with straight faces, can't trust 'em all
Rush and fall, pause, let nature take it's course
Stand firm cuz I serve a higher force
And I can scream 'til I'm hoarse, hear me Lord
See I'm ? like 3 dice, riskin' it all in street life
At the fork in the road, I made a hard right
I put the work in, then escaped the hard life
I put it down 'til it's time to lay me down
Wanna be free, but a lot of shit weighs me down
The light's dimmin', who gon' save me now?
It's all good, but it ain't gravy now
We gots to do it for the babies now
And bring 'em up to correct all the wrong we've done
And don't let 'em sing the same song we sung
Like, killin' each other off one by one
And turn 'em from slangin' the drugs, into some'in
You can make it out the ghetto in more ways than one
But for now I'mma pray for better days to come
[Repeat 1]

[Puff Daddy In Child's Voice]
Uncle Puffy?
Can you read us a bedtime story, please?
Huh? Please?
[Puff Daddy]
Alright check this out right here
Woke up smoked up, broked up
What I had left and rolled up, lit it
Had a shorty that I brought home, hit it
Sent her on her way, I got no time today
(Yo, I'mma call you next week, aight?)
With all this work I got no time to play (OK)
Cash come and go, and I want mine to stay
Alot of these fake cats won't mind the day
I get an unfair play, then the stairway
That's why I'm like TWA, the airway
Niggas wantin' to believe what they heard through hear-say
Hopin', but forget it
Check the mail, it's a letter from jail, from Hoboken
I open and I read it, it said
[G-Dep]
What da deal son?
It's ya nigga Teals in the field, and it's real son
I'mma have to steal one
Caught up on the run with a gun
Can't walk with it down then you can't conceal one
What to do?
I dont' know if ya knew, that kid, True?
Up in 1-2-2, he plottin' to get you
I hear he's due
You just do what need doin'
Let's not forget these niggas could bleed too , one
[Puffy]
OK, good
Those cats don't keep it real as they should
Heard they don't pay good
Stand around all day wishin' they could
But this green fufills they dreams
They ain't a team
Answering machine on screen
Phone rings, it was Arlene from Queens
Head was mean, had a head for schemes
Told her she get head to see me
But she play her hand proper, nothin' can stop her
[Female]
Hey yo, what up Playboy?
I'm out in Saint Croix
With sun cats that say they real
But they toys
I heard ya doin' it though
And you in the flow
Some niggas wanna ruin ya show?
What up, yo?
Whathchu want a rich shot up on his block?
Or I could leave him in his bed dead, with his dick robbed
[Puffy]
Na Boo, I'mma show you how I do
Just hit me when you get up top
But come on through (Aight)
Now I'm doin' inventory
Guns, clips, vest, bullets
So when I pull it, it's the end of story
Leadin' my men to glory
Then get shorty to hold a pound for me
I know she down for me
Yeah, sneak up on 'em like a car thief
These niggas mad cause it's my party
And my Benz is wide-bodied
Despise me, like the feds despise Ghotti
That I kill for a hobby and lay in your lobby
So try me, go 'head and take a bite
Might as well say good night
Try to put me in the dark, I don't take it light
Now if it's wrong, make it right
Not tommorow, tonight
They barkin', I know the bite
Jumped in the B-N-Z
Niggas gonna see the E-N-D fuckin' with me
See, I knew he was a snake out the ground
Make me wanna call my man rock and break out the hounds
Take it to the pier where you can't make out the sounds
Thoughts in my head goin' 'round, it's goin' down
Pull up to his block, I'mma put it to his knock
But, I don't see him, wouldn't wanna be in town
Ride around for a minute
Thinkin' 'bout the pain that Hell brings
Interrupted by a cell ring
Yeah yeah
[Female] Hey Boo come and get me, I'm here
[Puffy] Where?
[Female] Teterboro
Give me a few
It was like I flew
But it felt kinda strange, it was like I knew
Pulled up around 2, late like I do
With the urge to bug
She gave me a nervous hug
And when I heard the slugs
What I saw in the blur was thugs
Tryin' to soak my fur with blood
Dropped to the curb and ducked
Pulled out the fifth, duck behind a car
Like "How I'm gon' get out this shit?"
These niggas don't know what they about to get
A one way ticket to Hell in my gun jail
Bust my gun at three and one fell
The other two, waitin' to see what I'mma do
[G-Dep]
Hope you brought your arms
Cuz you're gonna need 'em to hold me
[Puffy]
Peeped around the car slowly
Then I let 'em have the whole wheat
Man there's six million ways to die
And you chose me, but I'm an OG
And in the distance is police
I'm still bustin', tryin' to kill something
And I can't hide the fact that I peeled something
I feel this thing, like in a minute I won't feel a thing
The two cats jumped in the blue Ac'
I fired one shot, they fired two back
They murked off in the night
I get them fools back, man they ain't seen the last of me
But I'm bleeding rapidly
Shot up in the stomach and that wasn't how it had to be
Heartbeat failin', car alarm wailin'
Couldn't walk straight then the firearm failed
Now I'm thinkin' how this bitch played me
Then I faded
Here I'm standing on the sea shore
She is gone, now she's gone
All the angels praying for me
As I fall, As I fall
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?
To me nightmare with the devil
I'll go strong, I'll go strong
All my friends now try to save me
What a joke, what a joke
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Pain, it takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
It takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
And if you think you need more pain
You can get all that you need
You can get it all for free
Just keep doing what you are
Did somebody tell you that they loved you
Then they said they never loved you?
How did you feel? How did you feel?
It doesn?t really matter how you felt ?cause
You can?t make them love you
That is for sure, that is for real
Pain, it takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
It takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
And if you think you need more pain
You can get all that you need
You can get it all for free
Just keep doing what you are
Do you really think that it won?t kill you?
?Cause I know that it will kill you
Maybe not now, but you?ll find out how
Don?t tell me that you wanna to end up
With some [Incomprehensible] dumpster
That would be tragic, that would be sad
Baby, please don?t misunderstand me
?Cause I don?t really give a damn
I saw you had a problem and I wanted to help
That?s just how I am
It really doesn?t matter that much to me
Pain, it takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
It takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
And if you think you need more pain
You can get all that you need
You can get it all for free
[True/Sha]
Damn, everything ("PAIN") gettin cold
Cept for them bullet holes
That the only thing hot
Why the fuck did he had ("PAIN") does this to me?
Why? damn, ummm, ("PAIN") shhhhit
This is how it's all gon' end
Fuck that, you bust at me I'm bustin back again
Feel the heat, ain't no way that you gon' fuckin win
Shit, I set fire to a fuckin friend
Fried in the end, you think of death you gon' think of me
With your last breath, that's how it's got to be
The shell brought me closer to my God to be
Hell brought me closer to my soul set free (PAIN)
It's so much pain I'm almost givin up
Phlegm mixed wit blood is what I'm bringin up
"I hope I don't die" is what keep ringin up
You better off dead is what somebody sayin
Now nigga hold your head up, I'm only playin
Never pray before but I'm prayin now (PAIN)
Seen a flash of light and now I'm goin down
The last thing I seen the crowd was gathering round
[ambulances and voices] "PAIN"
[Tariq/Breeze]
It got real wit hot steel comin in
Cuttin and giggin, diggin deeper, achin
Keep awakin, the rest is long but goddammit the pressure's strong
Fuckin pain, clutchin my brain, touchin the vain's arteries
Bleedin heavily, part of me leavin steadily
Gettin harder to breathe and yet I be still alive
I'ma make it, I will survive, I'ma take it to the next level
Yo I'm wildin, do the vex devil know my stylin
Held down, hell-bound gravity havin me sinkin
Thinkin I'm out (PAIN) motherfuckin man
Got a brother stuck in a jam
Drive my son a buck and a scam
Gettin me, wettin me, crimson drenched
In my mind son I find some hymns entrenched
A lot of mournful feign hummin
Tomorrow's dawn, I swear that shit ain't commin
With every form you come
you surprise me
hypnotize me
with every breath i take
you're depriving
suffocating...choking
Now the time has come
when i tell myself
there's nothing more i can take
then you show me
willi t matter right now?
if i'm already numb
that's what you do to control me...
to control me
so much sadness from me
that's the way i feel
all the madness from me
that's what makes you real
i don't want your
pain pain pain pain
with every cut you make
you expose me
cause you know me
with every bottle drank
you can drown me
cause you found me...out
now the time has come
when i tell myself
there's nothing more i can take
then you show me...
will it matter right now?
if i'm already numb
that's what you do to control me...
to control me
so much sadness from me
that's the way i feel
all the madness from me
that's what makes you real

all the madness from me
thats what makes you real
i dont want your

I've got pain in my body
But I'm sure it will pass
I've got pain in my body
But I'm sure it will pass
Now, my father died of a deadly disease
And my mother died of a deadly disease
I've got pain in my body
But I'm sure it will pass I've got pain in my body
I don't need any doctor, no
I've got pain in my body
I don't need any healer
Now, my sister died of a deadly disease
And my brother died of a deadly disease
I've got pain in my body
But I'm sure it will pass
I remember lying in the dark
weeks on a drip and beginning to starve
I remember feeling down and useless
stuck in a hospital bed slowly going mad
PAIN, BLOODY PAIN, IT DRIVES ME INSANE
hours under sedation through a sticky operation
a whole day sleeping and is back with the living
unable to move I'm getting too rude
can't even piss on my own feet like a stone
PAIN, BLOODY PAIN, IT DRIVES ME INSANE
two months are passed I'm still not right
in and out of hospital I can see no end
they tell me not to worry they say I'm alright
they suggesting another op and then the pain will stop

[Hook x2: A-Dog]
All I see is crime outside and truthfully I can't take it
All these pains inside, don't think I'mma make it
Shit!, the game is real so you must stay strong
All I see is cats locked up and dead and gone
[A-Dog]
I know cats that hate to take flicks
Blood thick in the hip by lingua chicks
Eager to strip, cornball slip, they knees stash closer to my dick
Savage dude eatin food disturbin the eagle trips
Son kissed to my lips bein bees played the concrete
Snow in the summer to increase your heart-beat
Duke, make it happen so retrovior right?
But when I black out and cut ya'll in half and sayin it ain't right?
Six building of the hook, henny and remy's
Stand dawg lays in samy at your enemy
Now they pass memories, I pal chicken til the death
Legal raw or legal I'm covered so fuck the ATF
Now fact the lord my thoughts are raw
I'm capable to leave the sickness seemed to chair-fold
Now the fair war, or severe any man hoar head
Shots chest, shots squeeze til this red hot
Bubble like where hustle and numb rocks
Soften your hard rocks wit one shot
And put your mind on your opposery
Blood ooze on his rose-rary
As I back away cautiously
The pain it's
making me sick
my eyes
everything moves
I won't cry
I hold myself the mirror
touch me
hold me...
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
my breath...
everybody's hurt
my eyes
and love me
Because there's a hole inside of me
please fill it up
the clouds...
everything's changing
I won't grow up
no I won't
please touch me
the pain...
the pain is me
We are here together,
It's been so long
I've waited forever,
For this day to come
And I won’t leave you
Alone tonight
You're my heart
Moving life inside
We won't fall again,
If you will let me lead
We'll fall in love
If you will hold to me
Never let go
Endure the pain to find
No pain at all
Forget all the records,
Previous lovers
Look into my eyes,
To dissolve the others
Cause I know where
You have laid tonight
I'm just one step away tonight
We won't fall again,
If you will let me lead
We'll fall in love
If you will hold to me
Never let go
Endure the pain to find
No pain at all
Say that you need me, and I can give you everything your heart's been craving
Cause once I've held your hand
I cannot stand to see it waving goodbye
Please don't go
Stay with me
Just stay with me
Just stay
We won't fall again,
If you will let me lead
We'll fall in love,
If you will hold to me
Never let go
Endure the pain to find
the meaning my my life is all but gone
i have been betrayed by my own
a rollercoaser ride of emotions
pounding through the chambers of my heart
exploiting me like an open book
as i speak i can feel a tormenting pain within myself
creating an un-nerving disorder
controlling me body and soul until i am none
i fear the end
growing stronger every second increasing every day
there's no way of knowing how much more i can take
will there be a solution to this pain that i feel
wake up mother fucker cause you know the deal
wake up mother fucker cause you know the deal bitch
visions of anger
emanate from my mind
thoughts of the past are making me blind
there's a light that burns right before my eyes
i'll never know if all of thise lies
will come back to haunt me in the end
here i thought that you were a friend
someone special within my heart
you've taken my soul you've torn it apart
i can't seem to resist the power you possess over me
its ripping and digging draining me of my sanity
feel for me i'm in pain
open your eyes stand tall be a believer within your self
open your eyes stand tall you've gotta see the light
open your eyes stand tall you can do this on your own
open your eyes open your eyes to this
times of need you weren't there for me
fallen to the edge of my sanity
a train ride headed to no destination
living a life filled with procrastination
time ran out the end had to come
regrettably so it had to be done
living for you was all that i had
scars on my brain i'll never be the same again
depression breaks through like a juggernaut
take a look inside and watch me rot
a lifeless shell that's about to break
just wanna see how much i can take
how much i can take
how much i can take
Gangsters on the corner
Dem all fire gunshot
Police in adem uniform
They fire shots back
innocent bystanders
bite the bullet once again
with laws full of discrepancy
it's only us to blame
you say you want to work it out
yet stick a gun into my mouth
an then you calmly shout
this worlds at peace
I shaully doubt
I see no equal rights or justice only
Pain
Dats running in your vain
man made pain
an it's only us to blame
oh well
I gotta tell you one last time,
There was a girl, a friend of mine,
I met her once, and I fell in love with her. (fell in love with her)
2nd date was a miracle,
My friend was there and I told her
Not to stay with us tonight.
I don't feel the pain
My girlfriends gone,
But I feel, I'm the same.
I don't feel the pain
My girlfriends gone,
But I feel, I'm the same everyday!
We went down to the parking lot,
My car was there and she said
Do not dare to kiss me not. (dare to kiss me not)
But everything has turned out wrong
She was a dick I wasn't strong,
I'm better off alone!
Do you think I always say, I'm better of alone.
But I say I take my time to contemplate it all.
To contemplate it all...
I don't feel the pain
My girlfriends gone,
But I feel, I'm the same.
I don't feel the pain
My girlfriends gone,
Every
Single thing I believed in
I knew I could not win
Without you I thought that I
Would fail
But in us
I thought we had trust
A passion; a lust
To make everything
Work out
Bide our time
It'll work out fine
We will cross that line
As soon as we
Get there
Do nothing
Say nothing
Be nothing
It's taking away my
Pain
I have
Many things that I regret
But I'll take what I can get
Even though I know it might
Break me
Web of lies
Hides the truth inside
Right behind your eyes
I wish I knew how
You felt
Can't ignore
What I've heard before
Lunatic no more
I listened and said
Nothing
Do nothing
Say nothing
Be nothing
It's taking away my
Pain
Even without you, I feel it
Taking away my
Realize
Realize what is right and what is wrong
So you
Want to walk on that fine line
'cuz I think it's about time
To show you exactly what
I mean
Believe it
You'll accomplish it
It's the love of it
That will get you through
The day
Have to try
'cuz you'll wonder why
Is it worth the time?
All you have to do
Believe
In everything
Do nothing
Be nothing
It's taking away my
Pain
Even without you, I feel it
Taking away my
Lie awake completely satisfied and let the sweat run through my hair
Well I haven't felt this way in quite sometime when I look over you're not there
Pain I won't let you slip away, No everybody must begin somewhere
Everyone here knows this is killing me, man it tears the soul straight from my spine
But in the end I guess the truth is shown, that you won't ever really be mine
Pain I won't let you slip away no everybody makes mistakes sometimes
Rain on my parade
Rain on my pain
Rain on my parade
Rain on my parade
Sell me the fortune, tell me it's all mine lost in the commotion distracted we hide
Embellish the moment cut and bleeding astound me with precision and kiss me good night
But I lie awake completely satisfied and let the sweat run through my hair
Well I haven't felt this way in quite some time when I look over you're not there
Pain I won't let you slip away No everybody makes mistakes sometimes
Rain on my pain
Rain
Rain on my parade
Pain
[Vs1]:
Let me paint a perfect picture
True Love of Jesus Christ the Savior
By His wounds we have been healed
Yes He died so I can live
Yes He died So WE CAN LIVE
Misled like sheep goin’ astray
Almighty God He took our pain,
Lost in Darkness bound, But He was slain
Beat & bruised He stretched His saving hands
He shed His blood for us
Ohhh Son of Man!
[Hook]:
On that day He gave himself for me
Nailed to the cross so I could be set free
He loved us from the very start
Now adoration fills my heart
Foreverrr
He reigns!
He took the pain
[Vs 2]:
We were all just hopeless sinners
But His love
Gave us Life &Resurrection;…
We were-- made alive by His mercy
By His Blood I’ve been redeemed
By His Blood We’ve been redeemed
His Sacrifice remains the same
Now I must change and live by Faith
Let us shout out VICTORY!!
Beat & bruised He stretched His saving hands
He shed His blood for us, Ohhh Son of Man!
[Hook]:
On that day He gave himself for me
Nailed to the cross so I could be set free
He loved us from the very start
Now adoration fills my heart
Foreverrr
He reigns!
He took the pain
[Bridge]:
“Father, forgive us
For we know not what we’ve done”
Now, “It is Finished!”
And the battle has been won.
“Father, forgive us
For we know not what we’ve done”
Now, “It is Finished!”
And the battle has been won.
He took the pain for us
Redemption from above
Our debts are paid in full
By His mercy, grace & love
(Repeat)
[Hook];
On that day He gave himself for me
Nailed to the cross so I could be set free
He loved us from the very start
Now adoration fills my heart
Foreverrr
He reigns!
I want your hi fi mama, won't you let me play it tonight
I want your hi fi mama, won't you let me play it tonight
I put the needle in the groove, baby while you douse the lights.
I play it on your dresser, play it upside your wall
I play it in your kitchen, even play it in your hall
I play it anywhere you want it, any old time at all.
Hi fi lo fi no fi's just fine with me.
Hi fi lo fi no fi's just fine with me.
And if you want to give me stereo first give me vitamin E.
I got your name and your number.
pain
is a funny thing
it makes you realize
that you can't stand pain
fight
in a serious way
it makes you understand
what your living for
blood has a way
of making man choose sides
we chose late
now there's nowhere to hide
nothing to do but fight
life
is a funny thing
if I threaten yours
it makes you want to fight
love
is a beautiful thing
it makes you understand
what your living for
blood has a way
of making man choose sides
we chose late
now there's nowhere to hide
nothing to do but fight
blood has a way
of making man choose sides
we chose late
now there's nowhere to hide
nothing to do,
nothing to do,
nothing to do but
Pain, how I wish that things had never to change
Playing with hearts is such a hazardous game
Hoping we can work things out back the same
Come back and love the pain away
Tried my best not to call for you, babe
It only makes things worse
You seem to think whenever I come around
There's something on my mind
Well, if you ever really took some time, girl
And try and figure me out
Girl, if I had a dime for every time
That you tried to love me back
I think I'd be rich
But I can't stand the pain
How I wish that things had never to change
Playing with hearts is such a hazardous game
Hoping we can work things out back the same
Come back and love the pain away
I often reminisce of the good times
When we were so in love
It hurts my heart to know that the truth is
You won't be around, girl
I find it hard to try and find another
No one can take your place
You are my fantasy, girl of my wildest dreams
Girl, then I finally woke up
And I can't take the pain
How I wish that things had never to change
Playing with hearts is such a hazardous game
Hoping we can work things out back the same
Come back and love the pain away
Hoping we were back to being the same
There's a [Incomprehensible] in that hole, it's time for change
And I don't think I can maintain the strength
Come back and love away the pain
And love the pain away, I just can't stand the pain
I just can't stand the pain
How I wish that things had never to change
Playing with hearts is such a hazardous game
Hoping we can work things out back the same
Come back and love the pain away
Just appeared like rain
And fell from the sky
Dressed me with drops
And blew me like wind
Transformed my dreams to wings
Took me for a trip
Became her lover
Hidden in clouds
My words like sound
My thoughts like light
Turn your head up to the sky
Hear me tonight
Make you my lover
Make you a slave
Give you nothing more than pain
If only I could reign
Fall from the sky
Some dressing human with drops
Give you wings
Make me rain
Become fog
Just to cover you
Just hold my hand
portraits; all over this wall
murdered morals taking my fall
velvet footsteps caressing the floor
listen carefully; I want to be shure
the pig is laughing; moments of doubt
addicted to hatred; forcing the pain
all these portraits remind me of the
water is burning; forcing away
slip into
the sin of living
has been forgiven
I ask for war
(but) i'm getting more
I don't understand
I suck the barrel
I lick the bullet
it removes my mind
to a faraway place
where there's still space
for my kind
the pig is laughing; moments of doubt
You can't go on much longer that way
You won't go on much longer that way
You're all too sane
It's painful pain
It's time you went insane
You will go insane
You thought you'd do me in
You tried to do me in
But I kicked you in the teeth
Now you're hurting so bad
It's always a painful day
[Intro]
There's one brain
There's two halves to one brain
One half's the pen, the other half's a steel
Check the story
[Chorus x2]
Pain, yo, is all I feel
I'mma die wit my pen, or I'mma die wit my steel
[King Just]
A young shorty on the block, wit no props
Fightin every day, turn the pot, and crackin beer top
In the hallway, gettin fucked up, everyday
You ever thought about goin to school? No way
I always thought I'd be a big rap star
Drive fancy cars and travel like far
Aha, dream didn't come true, now it's 1982
So what the hell you want me to do?
I wanna sell drugs and hang wit the thugs
From the projects, and own a nickel plated tech
But yet, I still got the skill to rock the crowd
I guess rappin should just be style
But now, I can't take it no more
I'm ready to get my gat and tell you face down to floor
Give me what you got, nigga, shit is real
I'mma die wit my pen, or I'mma die wit my steel
[Chorus x2]
[King Just]
So damn confused, this life just don't seem the same
Kids on the smelly court, playin the ghetto games
I reminisce about the shit that I did
You couldn't be soft and live where I lived
Cuz only the strong survive, and the weak die
Well ain't that a bitch, oh, my, my, my
Momma, why I gotta be like that?
Face the fact, I want the respect of my ghetto back
So I dig deep cuz I got a lot to give
As the world turns, but only one life to live
So come on my children, let's start rebuildin
A new foundation for every man's nation
I try to make a stand, but every stand's a downfall
I sat on the bench while other kids played ball
It's not the fact that I lack athletic
I'd rather grab a pen and pad, and get poetic
[Chorus x2]
[King Just]
Bow, boom, bang, same to the '90's
Two-Six Mob, nigga, that's where you'll find me
Down wit Black Fist, now, my promo's on Kiss
And everybody around town want's to talk shit
I guess that's the way life goes, I guess no one knows
Yo, we all choose our own roads
So you choose yours, and I'mma choose mine
Who knows, we just might make it at the same time
Define, yo, the meanin of jealously
And I show you a hundred rappers that can't fuck wit me
True, so what's the moral to the story?
The God is on his way to glory, but yet there's more G.
I became that nigga to the cess
My lifestyle change and now it's headed to the West
I guess, I have to do some shows out there
But when I appear, the crowd shook wit fear
Yo, I can't die wit my steel
I got a career now, to make at the top of my field
So you ask, how does the story end?
One love to Shaolin, we gotta die wit our pen
[Chorus x4]
[Outro]
Yo this is a message from the God
Dreams come true only if you make 'em happen
[Intro]
Yeah, feel my pain
Filled with pain
It's a struggle everyday
Did I walk in the right door?
I don't know
Yeah
I never back down, I do what it takes me
Things gettin' shaky, can't let it break me
A lot love us, some hate me
Some friends snake me
Sometimes the shit just make me
Wanna grab the tote and lose it
It ain't just tracks and raps
It's a whole other side to music
Things you can't see on MTV, but it's here
Lord, what's happened to me?
I'm really out there
Was this the right door to walk in?
Lips movin', but ain't nobody talkin'
I plead and I cry to the Heaven skies above to show me love
Wish that I could backtrack and make it like it was, but I can't
1 - When the pain's in me
I wish that it would let me be
But where can I run and where do I turn
When it's chasin' me?
Repeat 1
I got to deal with the what IS, fuck what IF's
Got to put it down and make it right for my kids
How many parties, how many bottles gotta pop?
How many more gots to die?
When this shit gon' stop?
I feel it in my heart, but I plays my part
It's a whole bigger picture so stay true to your art
Until I'm hauled off in the car
Swear it wasn't this dark when I got my start
Internin', been chart burnin', kept learnin'
Kept earnin', and the wheels kept turnin'
But after all the hit songs and the fame is gone
Your money right, but everything else done gone wrong
You're lonely, a lot of bitches is phony
Wanna know me just to tell niggas we homies
Whole time bitch schemin' on my Rolley
It's hard to watch everyone you with
When you rich, niggas with you try to get you
Plenty wanna hit you, I learned it now
It was no way out, now it's no turnin' around
Niggas that was with me, I praise 'em now
A toast to the Red Zone, raise 'em now
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Silence, all eyes on me
But I can see through 'em like I knew 'em, so I walk to 'em
Extend my hand, try to talk to 'em
Stand while others ran and try to understand
Two sides of a story, let me tell my side of it
It's evident, it's there, I can't hide from it
How much for the soul in the window?
Most wanna be rich and famous
It's dangerous, you'll find out in a minute though
I love the close ones, sometimes feel like I got no one
Those that was there, I know I owe 'em
Backstabbers, I brush 'em off
In a room with straight faces, can't trust 'em all
Rush and fall, pause, let nature take it's course
Stand firm cuz I serve a higher force
And I can scream 'til I'm hoarse, hear me Lord
See I'm ? like 3 dice, riskin' it all in street life
At the fork in the road, I made a hard right
I put the work in, then escaped the hard life
I put it down 'til it's time to lay me down
Wanna be free, but a lot of shit weighs me down
The light's dimmin', who gon' save me now?
It's all good, but it ain't gravy now
We gots to do it for the babies now
And bring 'em up to correct all the wrong we've done
And don't let 'em sing the same song we sung
Like, killin' each other off one by one
And turn 'em from slangin' the drugs, into some'in
You can make it out the ghetto in more ways than one
But for now I'mma pray for better days to come
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Madness surrounds the blood in my veins
And the fires getting higher and higher
Not quite sure the next step to take
As the gun seems to be my desire
I have to make a stand
Wash the blood off my hands
Have another fix
Just to understand
Pain / screaming from / inside me
I just want to shout
But there's no way out
Have another fix
Just to understand
Pain / with no one here / to guide me
And then I met a man
He said "Hey son yes I understand what your going through
And if your sick of this life you've been living
And want yourself to be forgiven
Cause the past is past you got to put it behind you
So give me your hand and ask the Lord to guide you
To help you stand on your feet again
And take away all this pain"
Eyes on this flesh the windows of my soul
From these I look inside and see it all
Thorns in my heart and needles in my brain
Is pain infectious or is it from the core
My fate is hiding in the dark
Or it's my mind that steals the light
Heavy conscience on my shoulder
i Can't hold on any longer
Cold ice now
Darkness, kill my pain
I asked my father why he passed me by
He said I'm always here and watching you
Don't be afraid when you have lost your way
Follow the signs and they'll be leading you
Why do I fear to leave the lie
When time has come to say goodbye
Heavy conscience on my shoulder
i Can't hold on any longer
Cold ice now
Darkness, kill my pain
"WE ARE THE ANCIENT SAGES, FOR WHOM THE SIGN IS SHOWN
FORGOTTEN ONES FROM THE REALM OF THE UNKNOWN
WITHOUT A NAME OR TRACE, IN DEATH WE SANK
Plain
Afraid to speak out my mind
But I want everyone to believe
That I can stand up and fight
For something that needs to be seen
Breaking my soul, I’m falling apart
Feeling the cold, I know what it means to be alive
Release me once again from this pain
I feel I can never reveal
The thoughts that went round in my head
Alone and abandoned again
I don’t know how much I can bear
Breaking my soul, I’m falling apart
Feeling the cold, I know what it means to be alive
Release me once again from this pain
The sun will shine in my back
As I’m walking into the dark
My fear for being alive
Will lead me to meet with the dead
Breaking my soul, I’m falling apart
Feeling the cold, I know what it means to be alive
I can’t stand it any longer
Whilst my conscious’ running wild
‘Til my needs are getting stringer
I refuse the angels’ child
Chorus
Don’t cause me no pain
Don’t leave me scarified
Don’t ever close your eyes
Another thrill of killing pain
Raging insanity leads to catastrophe
Another kill of thrilling pain
Angel on my naked shoulder
Devil on my shivering neck
Feel my blood is running colder
When it’s going to attack
Chorus
Bridge
I am a psycho with no lead
Like an animal I live
Got no honor, got no moral
Intuition is my gift
ME:
I don't need more flowers
I don't need more sympathy
I don't need more integration
Treatment, I don't need
I don't need more pain
I don't need more pain
I don't need more pain
This hunger in my veins
Give me what I need
Give me what I need
I don't need more candies
I don't need more self-esteem
I don't need more conversation
Advisory, I don't need
I don't need more pain
I don't need more pain
I don't need more pain
I'm starving inside my brain
Give me what I need
Give me what I need
Want to ride the tiger
Want you even more now
Want to climb the spider
Want you my desire
Want you getting higher
Want to read the Times now
Want to hear a song then
Want you my desire
I need it
I need it
