The challenges of the exit-the challenges of the entry-
I'm on my way-to a uneek day-
Where the sun-don't shine the same.
It's all new-it's a new view.
Uneek way-i've took to stay!
Longer than-i have before-
Before i had-an open door-
Into you-and your strange way-
Where the moon-don't glow the same!
The challenges of the exit!
The challenges of re-entry!
Challenger-why must you command?
I train with you on pluto as an upper hand
In your goals-and your atmosphere!
Challenger-i like it here!
The challenges of the exit-the challenges of the entry!
Nothing to say-on this boring day-
Where all kind-still act the same!
It's all old-at least it seems!
Uneek no more-uneek alwayz-
And then some-i've took to weigh!
Lighter than-when on my way!
Out of you-and your old day!
Where the you-will never change!
You challenge me-well i command we do it!
We challenge all-as in the world or who is willing!
Challenges are aggressive invitations to a party-
Lungs breathing foulness
Anal intellect fills rooms
Cigar smoke and the stench of cheap wine
Smothers my children抯 innocence
The blind and boiled misery sets sail
Ship wrecked souls don抰 buckle up
You won抰 survive
>From the ashes of nothing
Rises something
Never to
Forget forget forget forget
So if you offer this challenge
Oh yes my blood will rise
Attitude is the engine that drives
The force through hollow eyes
The blind and boiled misery sets sail
Ship wrecked souls don抰 buckle up
You won抰 survive
This stab skin stabbing your god抯
Messenger I will skin you just a little
Stab skin stab skin over and over
Again again again again
So I accept your challenge
Tear down your thin disguise
Kamikaze your conceited ass
With no compromise
I fight your power with raw power
I fight your power with raw power
I fight your power with raw power
Look past the apartments, over the train
Under the projects, all that remains is
Petty crime and polution tell me where did all this
shit come from?
Challenge and oppurtunity
Challenge and oppurtunity
Rise above the smoke and debris
Rise above the smoke and debris
Brooklyn, New York that's where we dwell
And to a lot of people it's a living hell
Full of frustration and poverty
But wait, that's just how it used to be
CHALLENGE!
CHALLENGE!
RISE ABOVE!
RISE ABOVE!
CHALLENGE! (and oppurtunity)
CHALLENGE! (and oppurtunity)
RISE ABOVE! (the smoke and debri)
RISE ABOVE! (the smoke and debri)
Two wheels bust, so thats how we almost crashed.
But we had to laugh
Five years passed not bad but we had a flag(?)
Was this ment to last? Fuck it i don't know!
CHALLENGE!
CHALLENGE!
RISE ABOVE!
RISE ABOVE!
CHALLENGE! (and oppurtunity)
CHALLENGE! (and oppurtunity)
RISE ABOVE! (the smoke and debris)
(Lyrics: Saric)
The noose of depression tightens its hold
Wants me to see no other way
Frustration returns to tell me what it's always told
Control it, repress it and hate it away
This is where I draw the line
Staring fear straight in the eye
Lost in heavy mist
(Challenge)
Overpowered point to resist this chance
I will choose this way
(Challenge)
And I'm dead sure
This moment I know I will not regret
Tempted to drive faster than I can see
Blurring everything but my goal
The long empty road is calling for me
Hell, I no longer care and I won't hold back anymore
This is where I draw the line
Staring fear straight in the eye
Lost in heavy mist
(Challenge)
Overpowered point to resist this chance
I will choose this way
(Challenge)
And I'm dead sure
This moment I know I will not regret
The hour has struck and I am prepared
Going where I've never been
I see this as I am the one who's been dared
I'll take it, I'll do it, I'll kill it, I'll win
This is where I draw the line
Staring fear straight in the eye
Lost in heavy mist
(Challenge)
Overpowered point to resist this chance
I will choose this way
(Challenge)
And I'm dead sure
This moment I know I will not regret, regret, forget, upset, reset
PARADICE
Let me offer up this.
Me and Brooklyn on one stage like heavy weights in the ring.
So, what do you say My cherie?
Time to put on the gloves.
BROOKLYN
Excuse me?
PARADICE
Did I stutter?
Time to put on the gloves
You and me singing like a couple of mothes,
And America chooses one or the other
But here's the catch, my little french fry,
Winner take all.
I'm talking the biggest stage on earth,
madison square garden
It'll be a war of style,
War of words,
War of song.
I'm talking the war that'll rock the world.
BROOKLYN
Look, I just came here to find my father
And I have no intention fo getting into a war with anyone.
I was standing at the border
Didn't know which road to take
Seems like obstacles blocked every pathway
Preventing me from escaping
And I turned around
And stood face to face
With a stranger staring straight at me
He said ...
They'll suck you in and spit you out
Without a thought or feeling
Then vanish without trace
Into oblivion
But they leave their poison.
Watch the good Samaritan
Stand fearless by the path
He lost his nerve and ran away
And I never saw him again
I'm moving forward cautiously
My knife down by my side
He said ...
Think once
Think twice
Won't you listen to my advice
You're outnumbered
It's a losers game
So go back where you came from.
Challenge me now
Don't be afraid
Challenge me now
