My friends look out for me like family
My mom's been struggeling since I was three
My friend's look out for me like family
My mom's been struggeling since I was three
Am I scared, am I pushed, Am I worried?
Another Day, another year so what's the hurry
Here I sit, alone and in despair
The world outside is cold, alone and unfair
No motivation, no college degree
Day to day survival starting to w...
All the feeling leaving you
Till you left alone inside a hollow shell
Twice repeated, me then you
Till your left alone not knowing who to blame
But I, I see the handle to the hilt
You know I'm always pulling
But they, they won't stop
They won't stop pushing
I remember
Feeling guilty
Was it something I did
Or was it what I said?
It's not you, it's not me
The situations telling us to be
Not you,...
Cover up your eyes
And put your fingers in your ears
We're about to say some shit
That you don't wanna hear
There's too many kids out there
Who never stayed to change
Who say some basic truth
Their mom and dad don't understand
All we want
Is only to be wanted
No one's home
And the kids are going crazy
Now while we're screaming for attention
No one's home
And the kids are going crazy
Try and po...
I got your bootstraps
I'll pull you up, I won't think twice
I need you to take it as advice
We've got to help each other out
'Cause that's what this is all about
And how the fuck can we forget
How we got here today, no way
Now it's a time to make it clear
That we would not have made it here
Without the ones who pulled us up
And taught us how to make it work
And if you ever get the chance
To ch...
Can I overcome these things I'm feeling
A coldness deep inside
The violence, the loss of friends
It's got me desensitized
Why in the world, does the world keep trying me?
I'll try
Don't wanna hear all the hurt, I don't want to see
Why can't you see?
Sometimes I feel numb, I can't feel no pain
Can I overcome things I can't explain
And I still want to try to trust again
But I just can't believe
...
Today is a new day, never as the other days
What else can I say, that's not been said
Each day I rise up, thinking I've wised up
I realize that I don't know a shit
I don't know where I'm gonna be each day by day with me
I don't know where I'm gonna land
My five year plan has turned to ten
And it's all gonna happen again
Millenniums coming, I better start running
Straight for a place in history...
All these politics, it's a deception falling on America's weak
They say we're keeping ourselves down
We sold out on half ass trailer park dreams
So now we're living with rednecks, racists black white hatred
I'm trying so hard to love my nation underfed, over bred
I just can't get ahead, it's not about the races or the revelations
People shooting up the blocks because of empty pockets
Fighting ...
Try but you can't bring me down
Try but you can't let me
Try but you can't bring me down
Try
I've come too far now to ever close my eyes
Made my mistakes and I wear no disguise
I speak my mind and let the rumors
Twist the worlds around
Some try so hard but no one gets me down
I get so stressed out, I keep running out of time
I'll do my best to make a better life
I feel your doubt and I don't e...
I thought this was suppose to be about open minds and unity
Not alienation, separation or who is more pc
You people pointing fingers, judging others need to realize
To each their own, get off your soapbox thrown
Who are you to criticise?
And it's so easy to be anti, close your mind up tight
And you walk around the world
Thinking everything you know is right
It's so easy to protest and so hard ...
I thought this was suppose to be about open minds and unity
Not alienation, separation, who is more pc
You people pointing fingers, judging others need to realize
To each their own, get off your soapbox thrown
Who are you to criticize?
And it's so easy to be anti, close your mind up tight
And you walk around the world thinking everything you know is right
It's so easy just to protest, so hard ...
You look me in my eyes
And I could not see your disguise
I followed every caution that I knew
But now it's no surprise
That you can only talk the talk
And now there's nothing left for me to do
I will never hold my breath
?Cause I will only suffocate
And while I'm waiting, time is wasting
And I can only do my best
To put another to the test
And while I'm waiting, you're just fading away
You fol...
Roots
Don't forget your roots
Don't forget your roots
Don't forget your roots
I was thinking about the good old times
And all the people who helped me survive
Now who the hell knows where I'd be
Without the branches of my family tree
I was thinking about the friends who cared
And all the times that we shared
And if I had the strength to be what I could be
Love and respect to the branches of my...
Look for us in Cali
East Bay to L.A.
Or with our friends in DC, U.S.A
We made it through the Canadian border
Back home next week in N.Y.C
Because we're faster than the world
We're faster than the world
We're faster than the world
We can't slow down
I hear the Windy City calling
"Chitown, Chitown"
As we arrive in Tokyo, edemio
And the kids are cool in Kansas
Tomorrow's the Philly Troc Show
Beca...
Never really been into religion
Never gave a fuck about superstition
But such strange things are happening
First once, then twice, then once again
Never really thought we'd reach a third one
Still there are those who haven't heard one
So, we still have such a mission
Our trilogy must have tradition
Then once, I could not believe
Even twice I was still naive
In my heart, in my head, these words...
I'm staying away from your negative space
You're only bringing me down
Whenever you come around
I see the look on your face, you're in a world of hate
Don't wanna be the one you take it out on
Anger is a wall around you
No one's getting through
Friendship's falling down around you
What are you gonna do?
I'm trying to give something positive
You wouldn't understand
'Cause it's an open hand
Not ...
Do what you want it really doesn't matter anyway
A lot of different people got a lot of different things to say
But what is a reason for hunting anything
What are you hiding, what are you running from
What went wrong and made you kill for fun
It just don't make sense
Clawed my way to the top of the food chain
God gave me the biggest brain
Used my smarts to build a weapin
Now I am the forest ki...
Do you remember when we were afraid?
Crossing our fingers we'd turn out okay
No faith in the world 'cause we doubted ourselves
But in time came to find hard times made us strong
But now the fear in me is gone
I found the truth within, I'm strong
Only afraid of never knowing
All the things I could have done
Do you still feel all alone and betrayed?
Kicking yourself for mistakes that you made
We...
If I say something that you don't like
Just think about it cause I may be right
If I say something just hear me out
Cause I just might know what I'm talking about
If I say something whatever I say
Cause my words have meaning and that's the truth
Life's full of problems and baby that's ok
Inside the crew and that's the way
So just remember that what I say
When I say something well don't turn yo...
Where were you
You weren't here
I screamed and shouted
But you disappeared
Where is the shoulder that made me cry
You went away but I don't know why
Where, were you?
When I needed somebody to trust
When I needed somebody to stand by
I never wanted all that much
Why did you leave?
Why did you lie?
Where were you?
I used to love you
But I want to pretend
Your fucking game
I won't play again
Wher...
When you talk about your home life, I try to identify
With my own memories, childhood life was such a breeze
But now I'm slipping away from the boy my mother made
I'm growing on but I hold on to the days that made me fell so
Powerless and ignorant without a cent, without the sense to know
That one day I would have to try to survive and go
First time you gotta leave your home, second time you l...
Six years ago a very hot summer night
Avenue A with my friends hanging tight
No future, no goals and no destiny
Hanging on the corner for the world to see
Some friends drunk and some friends high
Laughing talking shit as the people walked by
The air was tense and muggy as fuck
Lower east side running a muck
Guilty by association, judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends out of trouble
Wh...
Ain't it strange how time just slips away
Then I got your call the other day
All these years and you're still in that place
And you really don't have much to say
Like, what about your dreams?
And are they blowing away
While you sit there wishing you could start again?
Are you stuck in a rut?
Helpless not hopeless
Got a fear in your gut?
Helpless not hopeless
Are you waiting for luck?
Helpless ...
I remember all those bands
Preaching with motherfucking X's on their hands
The Youth Of Yesterday, what else can I say
The times have changed and they've faded away
The times have changed and the trends move on
The spirit of youth I still carry on
Close minded attitudes, you know the youth crew
Alienating everyone who didn't think like
who didn't
Act like
Who didn't
Look like you
Here today
An...
Hi-Lo what does it mean
Another word for temperature, followed by degree
I know it may sound simple
But when I look in your eyes
Degrees of seperation is what I find
You lie, I try, you lie, I try
You lie from the center, distracted by everyone
Cause everything revolves around you
Not saying that I'm better
But when I look in your eyes
Degrees of seperation is what I find
You lie, I try, you l...
Someone glanced across a dance floor
Not going home and loving in doorways
A room to remember who to meet in
Secrets in through your head and out through your mouth.
Elsewhere anyone sharing a sunrise
I've never been a silhouette before
Touch to the sound of young Americans -
Or am I still too young?
I dream to sleep
I sleep to dream
I dream to sleep
I sleep to dream.
Dancing together Tango'd ...
And so she said to me
I'm leaving, I can't take it anymore
For all that it's worth, I knew that was over
Long before she turned the handle on my door
Cause I can read between the lies
And I can see behind your eyes
All the lies and alibis
And I can understand your mind
I can see through all your lies
All your eyes and alibis
And so it's over as the pictures
From my wallet hit the floor
Well I ...
I see it in us, I see it in us, I know it's in us, but I
I see it in us, I see it in us, I see it's in us but I
I can't quite put my finger on it
We're all guilty of it how many times do we end up with nothing
When we try real hard and only see it one way
We think we'll go further but where will we be?
Just one step closer, still moving closer
To a million miles backwards reality reasons, it w...
I want what the other kids have, I want it all
I want I want what the other kids have
I want brand name shoes and a big shot dad
I want perfect teeth and something to smile about
I want an invitation
And my own cell phone and something to talk about
I want imagination
But there's no money for me to play
I want I want what I want and I want it now
There's enough food on the table so I guess it'...
Innocent kids, young, dumb, and naive
Told when to come and when to leave
Used and abused, like a bad habit does
Then accepted and neglected like and MTV buzz
Innocent kids, make a past for yourself
Get out the handbook off the fucking shelves
So put on your best fake smiles and pull the knives out of their backs
This better than your fantasy has been done kids, way, way back
Sorry it took so ...
I dont want to thank about you boy,
dream about you boy, think about you boy,
i dont want to think about you boy,
dream about you boy, think about you boy,
you know who it is, h20
Fergie, Ferg
you know baby
No more lies with violent ends
No more fakes disguised as friends
No one has the time to waste on them
I want you to know
It's something that I feel
It's deep inside of me
A part of you as well, understanding
And slips so far away
And sometimes I can't deal
Don't have the time for someone else's scandal
My own life is hard enough to handle
No more lies with violent ends
No more fakes disguised...
Growing up full of apologies
Spent all my time trying to be me
We all know it's never really easy
At least I know I can admit it
You need to remember, you need time to forget
We need the time to change our minds
And separate the present from tomorrow
Disguised as yesterday
Time moves so slow, but change comes too fast
On top of the world, how could it last?
So many hands to shake, never give y...
Am I wasting all my time chasing innocence to find
A time in my life when I should have known better?
Have I wasted all these years
Hiding back the tears behind a smiling face
Am I a liar?
Because I want to do what's right
But I need to understand
Do I burn the bridge and call it a life lesson
As these thoughts come floating in?
Will the memories race to a higher price to pay?
Gonna take a tri...
Mr. Brett, please put down your gun
Mr. Brett, please put down your gun
Ah man, uh... we were just kiddin', dude
Ah look, he's comin' in here
Oh shit He really does have a gun
Get outta here
No, seriously, he's aimin' the gun at us It's only a joke
[Gun shot noises]
No Brett Brett Don't shoot Brett
[Machine gun noises]
Um, you guys are a little flat
Too many questions
But no one seems to know
The value of the answers
Too many fingers and all pointed back at me
Is it because I was the one who pointed mine first?
I see a problem but maybe it's part of me
Excuses without reasons
I have a conscious inspiring to be
More than a thought that's burning deep inside of me
I see a doorway and I fumble for a key
How many turns until it opens?
And wha...
Old school recess, old school recess
Old school recess, old school recess
Where did we go so wrong? How did we last so long?
All I can think now that we're here, is when we gonna have
Some fun can't forget what we were, even if it's all a blur
And never forget why we're still young and how we all still endure
I don't wanna be 13, I only wanna share the scene
All I really want to do is to have ...
Just when you thought you had it made
You had a life, your bills were paid
But your heart was numb inside
Abandoned by your foolish pride
And this I know
Nothing comes from shallow goals
I've tried and you will find
All your riches they come from inside
And here it comes this empty feeling again
I wanna help you out
I wanna make you understand what it's about
I'm not just here to be your fairw...
What if I said I was an accident waiting to happen
Would I trip and fall, fall on my words?
And would you say, say that I was wrong
My words were out of place
Went where I didn't belong?
This to me is fact and fiction plays a role
Confusing situations that I can't control
Heart of the matter, it beats with pride
Sometimes, I wear it on my sleeve
Sometimes, I keep it inside
And no one said it w...
Giving all I got and I feel so drained
Preaching motivation, trying to fan that flame
Now it's time to turn around and do something for me
Something must have changed and you can blame reality
Something's changed but I don't feel the same
No reason why, I got no alibi and no regrets
I must be out of debt
I must be out of debt
Lied awake at night just wondering if I did it right
Tried to be the...
Sitting by myself at home
Waiting for a ring
I fight the urge to pick it up
So I can do my thing
I try to stay connected
To the lives of everyone
Tonight, I'm calling you
'Cause I got nothing better to do
I feel so alone
And I can't get off the phone
I hope you're not at home
'Cause I can't get off the phone
I know it's my obsession
But I see you got nothing better to do
I call because hearing...
Sunshine
It's so revealing in my head.
It's still unwinding from the road
Where I've been broken down.
But it's nothing that I can't fix.
I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
In my mind I'm always seeing someone else's pain.
Then I remember when I felt the same.
It takes a little pati...
Know all about you but are you just a name
You like the feeling a reputation brings
Some say your violent and people are afraid
I say you're silent and holding back the pain
Inside - you just can't live a lie
Inside - just can't live a lie
Reputation calls and now it follows you
But what about the changes you been going through
One of these days the things they say
Won't mean the same as befor...
Am I responsible for what I think and feel?
Is there a model I could never be?
Am I depending on you to show?
To say, to tell me what to do
Because I think, I say
It helps me find a way
To voice my opinion without this shit
And I know, I try to read between the lines
'Cause some truth may lie there waiting, but I won't
I won't sit back and let it happen
I will stand up, I won't sit back
And wa...
The clock is ticking but I'm rotting
Tell me are you rotting?
If you're going to change just do it now
Are you ripe or rotting?
Only you can keep you down
Are you ripe or rotting?
If you're going to change just do it now
Are you ripe or rotting?
Don't want to deal with life's / and / it makes you afraid
/ all the plans that you made
So much potential but you never see
Rotting away but you used...
Who can I believe in when all my heroes are gone?
Does anybody out there know their right from wrong?
No I can't trust the president, I can't trust the cops
I can't believe my ears when the radio's on
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I'm making my own way
Trying to learn from my mistakes
'Cause I've got no role model
No footsteps I can follow
I'm making my own way
A...
Hear, what I'm saying
I was always true
I was never playing
When it came to you
Never good at showing
What you mean to me
This is my last chance
To set my mind at ease
And all the times you slipped
Between the cracks disguised
As something sacred
Never knowing that I wanted to
Hold you in my arms, protect you
Never let the world upset you
I'm handing my life over to you
I was always running
Se...
Once again you find yourself alone without a cause
Still the same bad habits but you haven't paid the cost
Still searching for the seed that grew into your need
That's who you are, don't hide the scar
Now you look around for sympathy
Your life's a fucking mess and she can't look into your eyes
And never hate to guess, she's looking for a stone
That crushed into your home and you're still wanti...
Well I woke up with this feeling yesterday
No matter how hard I tried I couldn't say
Where it came from and what it did to me
Like a hole inside too wide and way too deep
But I know
I'm gonna find my way
and I know
I gotta have my say
I hate when I turn on my fucking TV
A newsman's trying hard to explain my scene to me
Hardcore's been my life since way back when
It's my family, my future, my b...
What if you could live your life
Like you're the only one around
Would you do it just to see if you could
Or would it scare you too much
Not to see your friends hail, hail the gangs not here at all
Self reliable, that makes you responsible
For all the lies that you told
And you're telling them to yourself
What if you could live your life a minute at a time
Make the most of everything you do
Or...
At the cost of living I die
At the cost of dying I live
At the chance of sounding selfish
It's my life time
On the chance that I'll survive
And I'll keep my soul alive
Written on the wall and sign says
It's my life time
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
At the cost of losing I win
At the cos...
well those 5 years are gone now,
so i've got a plan that's new.
I'm seeing the future.
but I can't forget my roots cause it's still not a concept,
someone made up on tv.
it's still something real,
way down deep inside of you and me.
Chorus:
All the bands we loved the most,
all the songs that give us hope reasons we're still here today,
people change but songs remain,
songs remain, songs remain...
You can't have me
I won't sign my life away
I'm not even gonna listen
Cause your words are based on lies
The truth escapes you
You put your foot in your mouth
Let me tell you what it's all about
I feel it here
The feeling is real
It's the only thing you can't take away
I feel it here
The feeling won't go
I'm gonna let you know
You can't have it
I wont give it
You can't take it away
Your foolis...
I can hear it on the line
While you profess that everything is fine, but
There's that static in your voice
And all I want to do is read between the noise
I hear you, but I can't hear you
I feel like something's wrong again
And now I'm losing my friend
Have we been disconnected again?
I'm feeling disconnected
Have we been disconnected again?
I'm feeling disconnected
I'm trying to believe in wha...
I wrote a story in the book of life today
I turned the page and then I turned and walked away
Cause what I wrote was just symbolic of the time
I've been surrounded by another state of mind
You do this, to gain control
You say that, to make yourself feel whole
You say this, just to be kind
I see it's all just a waste of fucking time
Sometimes the problems freeze the pen that's in my hand
No rul...
She was with him, now everybody knows
Cause she told a friend, and that's the way it goes
People have loose lips, sometimes behind your back
You know, that's how they get their kicks
When the conversation lacks, you know
Tell a tale of contradiction
Gossip causes crucifixtion
They talk too much shut up
They talk too much
And I don't like what they say
It's just a bunch of bullshit anyway
He to...
My family looks out for me
Like friends our story never ends
We've run into the fire
And somehow water comes to save us
There are so few we can depend on
With blood there is an honor
We act like we don't care
But deep inside
It's more, more than you can see
Thicker than water
It means more, so much more to me
Thicker than water
We've all been struggling since I was three
How happy can we be?
W...
Standing alone in a situation
Somebody's talking their shit
Trying to control my frustration
Somebody's gonna get hit
But when is it right to fight?
And when is it right to walk away?
Sometimes we have no choice
And this is the price we pay Cause we don't have to be
What people see
Got our own minds
Got our own realities
We try to stick together
And let the music be our might
But this time the...
Did anyone know their names?
No oh
They took a leap of faith and landed
Underneath the flames.
That's where the learning begins.
Giving and taking,
But do we ever know?
Brain stops, the heart keeps beating.
Where does the feeling go?
Where does the feeling go?
Like a moth burned twice, carried far away.
Keeps coming back because it's drawn to the flames.
That's where the story begins.
Living a...
What is the universal language?
Could it be hate if it's not love?
Could it be money, sex or power?
I say it's music and none of the above
When you act that way
Can't you see you're using
The wrong fuckin' language
A language I don't know
Do you feel an evil in the world?
Do you chase the dollar or the girl?
What's the motivation in your life?
Is it to feel alive? Well then
Wake up, don't give up
Get off your knees
It's your last chance
Or will you
Blame it all on circumstance
Where will you go?
When times are slow
And your still
Waiting for your next command
Waiting for your next command
Never gave your dreams a chance
Blamed it all on circumstance
Wake up, don't give up
So listen up 'cause this one goes out to the well behaved
We wonder how we all got so tame
And yes it's true we have to share part of the blame
But I will never understand just how
You can pretend that you're a fan when you don't question
The things that you were told
You sold control and you might as well have had the best intentions
Only your heart will ever know
I don't want to be part of t...
I can?t explain it.
I just wanna talk to you and tell you how I feel.
Every time I see your face, baby this love is real.
I cannot let it go, you know I?m one for you.
So what we gonna do, what we gonna do. I said come on now.
Every time I see your face, I know its you.
Baby there?s something I gotta say, I?m just in love with you
And I know that you?re the one for me. So what?s it gonna? what...
Go on, I can not blame you
No one to teach you that
The truth is hard to find
You have to seek it
You have to meet it
Reset your mind to stay in time
No one's gonna hear you talking now
No one's gonna care what it is all about
Cause when your mind is shut so tight
And you think you're always right
You never listen, and keep on missing
What you think is wrong
You're standing still
While the wor...

And put your fingers in your ears

All we want

I got your bootstraps
I'll pull you up, I won't think twice
I need you to take it as advice
We've got to help each other out
'Cause that's what this is all about
And how the fuck can we forget
How we got here today, no way
Now it's a time to make it clear
That we would not have made it here
Without the ones who pulled us up
And taught us how to make it work

A coldness deep inside
The violence, the loss of friends
It's got me desensitized
Why in the world, does the world keep trying me?
I'll try
Don't wanna hear all the hurt, I don't want to see
Why can't you see?
Sometimes I feel numb, I can't feel no pain
Can I overcome things I can't explain
And I still want to try to trust again
But I just can't believe
...
Today is a new day, never as the other days
What else can I say, that's not been said
Each day I rise up, thinking I've wised up
I realize that I don't know a shit
I don't know where I'm gonna be each day by day with me
I don't know where I'm gonna land
My five year plan has turned to ten
And it's all gonna happen again
Millenniums coming, I better start running
Straight for a place in history...
All these politics, it's a deception falling on America's weak
They say we're keeping ourselves down
We sold out on half ass trailer park dreams
So now we're living with rednecks, racists black white hatred
I'm trying so hard to love my nation underfed, over bred
I just can't get ahead, it's not about the races or the revelations
People shooting up the blocks because of empty pockets
Fighting ...
You look me in my eyes
And I could not see your disguise
I followed every caution that I knew
But now it's no surprise
That you can only talk the talk
And now there's nothing left for me to do
I will never hold my breath
?Cause I will only suffocate
And while I'm waiting, time is wasting
And I can only do my best
To put another to the test
And while I'm waiting, you're just fading away
You fol...
Look for us in Cali
East Bay to L.A.
Or with our friends in DC, U.S.A
We made it through the Canadian border
Back home next week in N.Y.C
Because we're faster than the world
We're faster than the world
We're faster than the world
We can't slow down
I hear the Windy City calling
"Chitown, Chitown"
As we arrive in Tokyo, edemio
And the kids are cool in Kansas
Tomorrow's the Philly Troc Show
Beca...
Never really been into religion
Never gave a fuck about superstition
But such strange things are happening
First once, then twice, then once again
Never really thought we'd reach a third one
Still there are those who haven't heard one
So, we still have such a mission
Our trilogy must have tradition
Then once, I could not believe
Even twice I was still naive
In my heart, in my head, these words...
I'm staying away from your negative space
You're only bringing me down
Whenever you come around
I see the look on your face, you're in a world of hate
Don't wanna be the one you take it out on
Anger is a wall around you
No one's getting through
Friendship's falling down around you
What are you gonna do?
I'm trying to give something positive
You wouldn't understand
'Cause it's an open hand
Not ...
Do you remember when we were afraid?
Crossing our fingers we'd turn out okay
No faith in the world 'cause we doubted ourselves
But in time came to find hard times made us strong
But now the fear in me is gone
I found the truth within, I'm strong
Only afraid of never knowing
All the things I could have done
Do you still feel all alone and betrayed?
Kicking yourself for mistakes that you made
We...
Six years ago a very hot summer night
Avenue A with my friends hanging tight
No future, no goals and no destiny
Hanging on the corner for the world to see
Some friends drunk and some friends high
Laughing talking shit as the people walked by
The air was tense and muggy as fuck
Lower east side running a muck
Guilty by association, judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends out of trouble
Wh...
No more lies with violent ends
No more fakes disguised as friends
No one has the time to waste on them
I want you to know
It's something that I feel
It's deep inside of me
A part of you as well, understanding
And slips so far away
And sometimes I can't deal
Don't have the time for someone else's scandal
My own life is hard enough to handle
No more lies with violent ends
No more fakes disguised...
Growing up full of apologies
Spent all my time trying to be me
We all know it's never really easy
At least I know I can admit it
You need to remember, you need time to forget
We need the time to change our minds
And separate the present from tomorrow
Disguised as yesterday
Time moves so slow, but change comes too fast
On top of the world, how could it last?
So many hands to shake, never give y...
Old school recess, old school recess
Old school recess, old school recess
Where did we go so wrong? How did we last so long?
All I can think now that we're here, is when we gonna have
Some fun can't forget what we were, even if it's all a blur
And never forget why we're still young and how we all still endure
I don't wanna be 13, I only wanna share the scene
All I really want to do is to have ...
Just when you thought you had it made
You had a life, your bills were paid
But your heart was numb inside
Abandoned by your foolish pride
And this I know
Nothing comes from shallow goals
I've tried and you will find
All your riches they come from inside
And here it comes this empty feeling again
I wanna help you out
I wanna make you understand what it's about
I'm not just here to be your fairw...
What if I said I was an accident waiting to happen
Would I trip and fall, fall on my words?
And would you say, say that I was wrong
My words were out of place
Went where I didn't belong?
This to me is fact and fiction plays a role
Confusing situations that I can't control
Heart of the matter, it beats with pride
Sometimes, I wear it on my sleeve
Sometimes, I keep it inside
And no one said it w...
Know all about you but are you just a name
You like the feeling a reputation brings
Some say your violent and people are afraid
I say you're silent and holding back the pain
Inside - you just can't live a lie
Inside - just can't live a lie
Reputation calls and now it follows you
But what about the changes you been going through
One of these days the things they say
Won't mean the same as befor...

Thicker Than Water |
Try but you can't bring me down
Try but you can't let me
Try but you can't bring me down
Try
I've come too far now to ever close my eyes
Made my mistakes and I wear no disguise
I speak my mind and let the rumors
Twist the worlds around
Some try so hard but no one gets me down
I get so stressed out, I keep running out of time
I'll do my best to make a better life
I feel your doubt and I don't e...
If I say something that you don't like
Just think about it cause I may be right
If I say something just hear me out
Cause I just might know what I'm talking about
If I say something whatever I say
Cause my words have meaning and that's the truth
Life's full of problems and baby that's ok
Inside the crew and that's the way
So just remember that what I say
When I say something well don't turn yo...
When you talk about your home life, I try to identify
With my own memories, childhood life was such a breeze
But now I'm slipping away from the boy my mother made
I'm growing on but I hold on to the days that made me fell so
Powerless and ignorant without a cent, without the sense to know
That one day I would have to try to survive and go
First time you gotta leave your home, second time you l...
I see it in us, I see it in us, I know it's in us, but I
I see it in us, I see it in us, I see it's in us but I
I can't quite put my finger on it
We're all guilty of it how many times do we end up with nothing
When we try real hard and only see it one way
We think we'll go further but where will we be?
Just one step closer, still moving closer
To a million miles backwards reality reasons, it w...
Innocent kids, young, dumb, and naive
Told when to come and when to leave
Used and abused, like a bad habit does
Then accepted and neglected like and MTV buzz
Innocent kids, make a past for yourself
Get out the handbook off the fucking shelves
So put on your best fake smiles and pull the knives out of their backs
This better than your fantasy has been done kids, way, way back
Sorry it took so ...
Sitting by myself at home
Waiting for a ring
I fight the urge to pick it up
So I can do my thing
I try to stay connected
To the lives of everyone
Tonight, I'm calling you
'Cause I got nothing better to do
I feel so alone
And I can't get off the phone
I hope you're not at home
'Cause I can't get off the phone
I know it's my obsession
But I see you got nothing better to do
I call because hearing...
Am I responsible for what I think and feel?
Is there a model I could never be?
Am I depending on you to show?
To say, to tell me what to do
Because I think, I say
It helps me find a way
To voice my opinion without this shit
And I know, I try to read between the lines
'Cause some truth may lie there waiting, but I won't
I won't sit back and let it happen
I will stand up, I won't sit back
And wa...
Hear, what I'm saying
I was always true
I was never playing
When it came to you
Never good at showing
What you mean to me
This is my last chance
To set my mind at ease
And all the times you slipped
Between the cracks disguised
As something sacred
Never knowing that I wanted to
Hold you in my arms, protect you
Never let the world upset you
I'm handing my life over to you
I was always running
Se...
Once again you find yourself alone without a cause
Still the same bad habits but you haven't paid the cost
Still searching for the seed that grew into your need
That's who you are, don't hide the scar
Now you look around for sympathy
Your life's a fucking mess and she can't look into your eyes
And never hate to guess, she's looking for a stone
That crushed into your home and you're still wanti...
She was with him, now everybody knows
Cause she told a friend, and that's the way it goes
People have loose lips, sometimes behind your back
You know, that's how they get their kicks
When the conversation lacks, you know
Tell a tale of contradiction
Gossip causes crucifixtion
They talk too much shut up
They talk too much
And I don't like what they say
It's just a bunch of bullshit anyway
He to...
My family looks out for me
Like friends our story never ends
We've run into the fire
And somehow water comes to save us
There are so few we can depend on
With blood there is an honor
We act like we don't care
But deep inside
It's more, more than you can see
Thicker than water
It means more, so much more to me
Thicker than water
We've all been struggling since I was three
How happy can we be?
W...
Standing alone in a situation
Somebody's talking their shit
Trying to control my frustration
Somebody's gonna get hit
But when is it right to fight?
And when is it right to walk away?
Sometimes we have no choice
And this is the price we pay Cause we don't have to be
What people see
Got our own minds
Got our own realities
We try to stick together
And let the music be our might
But this time the...
What is the universal language?
Could it be hate if it's not love?
Could it be money, sex or power?
I say it's music and none of the above
When you act that way
Can't you see you're using
The wrong fuckin' language
A language I don't know
Do you feel an evil in the world?
Do you chase the dollar or the girl?
What's the motivation in your life?
Is it to feel alive? Well then
Wake up, don't give up
Get off your knees
It's your last chance
Or will you
Blame it all on circumstance
Where will you go?
When times are slow
And your still
Waiting for your next command
Waiting for your next command
Never gave your dreams a chance
Blamed it all on circumstance
Wake up, don't give up
