Free people will never remain free
If they are not willing, if need be
To fight for their vital interests

I watch your bullshit from the outside in
Your disrespect and hate
You think you're better than your fellow man
Controlled by fear you seal your fate

How could you step on me
Violate, desecrate and hate me
But I'm just like you, like you
Flesh and blood, I'm only human

I resist the pressure
To be who you want me to be
I resist the pressure
I resist so I am free

I see right through your condescending ways
As you look down on me
But I could never stand and judge like you
I resist so I am free

My peace of mind
Peace of mind will set me free
But I'm just like you, like you
Flesh and blood, in need of revolution

I resist the pressure
To be who you want me to be
I resist the pressure
I resist so I am free

I resist, I resist, I resist so I am free

I resist the pressure
To be who you want me to be
I resist the pressure
I resist so I am free

I resist the pressure
To be who you want me to be
I resist the pressure
I resist so I am free

Welcome to the rat race, people killing themselves
To get ahead of the pack, back stab and attack
Out for self, the money, the power, the fame
Competition and greed in a world without shame

I stumble and fall along the path I've chosen
I face my fears, I won't be broken
Corrosion has a way of fucking with your sanity
I do what I gotta to preserve my humanity

Switchback, taking life as each day comes
Switchback, facing fears, I never run
Switchback, never quit until I'm done
I'm the underdone and I will overcome

Confrontation can break you down to your very fast compound
Beat you down, drag you round, break you
Refuse to bend, never ever let it take you
Over the edge where you can never break through

Overcome, switchback, stand strong alone
The good, the bad, the truth, the unknown
Locked up at war with the demons within
I fight to live, I live to win

Switchback, taking life as each day comes
Switchback, facing fears, I never run
Switchback, never quit until I'm done
I'm the underdone and I will overcome

Switchback, taking life as each day comes
Switchback, facing fears, I never run
Switchback, never quit until I'm done
I'm the underdone and I will overcome

The harder that I battle with life's deceit
The stronger I stand on my own two feet
If I allow the world to assimilate my mind
Will my freedom be forever denied?
Will I no longer be free in my mind?

Will my freedom be forever denied?
Will I no longer be free in my mind?

Switchback, taking life as each day comes
Switchback, facing fears, I never run
Switchback, never quit until I'm done
I'm the underdone and I will overcome

Switchback, taking life as each day comes
Switchback, facing fears, I never run
Switchback, never quit until I'm done
I'm the underdone and I will overcome

Someday I hope to rise above
Material chains which hold me down, hold me down
To turn my anger into love
And keep my feet planted on the ground, on the ground

To undo stigmas societies branded
Misconceptions about being a man
To be grateful, take nothing for granted
To live the truth as best I can

I seek the truth whatever that may be
I seek the answers to questions
Please God help me

To look at people and see no color
Vision clear prejudice or spite, spite
To treat people just like my brother
For this I pray with all my might, all my might

To learn to let go of all my fears
And learn to embrace all of my tears
To search for faith and humility
To walk the path which sets me free

I seek the truth whatever that may be
I seek the answers to questions
Please God help me

Salvation, from society
Damnation, have mercy on me

So many lies I told, so many lives I've sold
So far away from who I am I never understand
So many things I regret, so many things that I let
Take me away from myself, too late to take it back

Salvation, from society
Damnation, have mercy on me

So many dreams I had, so many lives I've lived
So many friends I said goodbye forever
So many times I wish, so many times I dream
Do it again, I swear I'd never

In my quest to uncover the truth
The deepest wounds get left behind
And I seek serenity for the war
For the war inside my mind

I seek the truth whatever that may be
I seek the answers to questions
Please God help me

I seek the truth whatever that may be
I seek the answers to questions
Please God help

Where to run to, where to hide?
Much too full to swallow my pride
But I'm still haunted by something inside
As if another part of me has died

Paralyzed, I close my eyes
The pain inside surrounds me
Petrified, life fades away
At the end of my rope I'm waiting

Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
Empty inside and out of control
My heart a void, my empty soul
Until it's filled I'll never be whole

How did things ever get so bad
Sinking empty, full of despair
I find myself alone and scared
In a world where nobody cares

Paralyzed, I close my eyes
The pain inside surrounds me
Petrified, life fades away
At the end of my rope I'm waiting
Set me free

A hopeless end, afraid deep inside
Relief from my pain, the end a suicide
The tears I've cried have left me blind
I yearn to find peace, a presence of mind

Where to run to, where to hide?
Much too full to swallow my pride
But I'm still haunted by something inside
As if another part of me has died

Paralyzed, I close my eyes
The pain inside surrounds me
Petrified, life fades away
At the end of my rope I'm waiting

Paralyzed, I close my eyes
The pain inside surrounds me
Petrified, life fades away
At the end of my rope I'm waiting

Everybody break out

I said I'd stand with you forever if you needed me
Help, arm in arm, hand over fist and carry you where necessary

Like a fool I thought we'd walk tall forever all as one
When the going got tough you stopped pushing and turned to run

I tried so hard, so sad to watch you drown

You turned and pointed fingers at the truest friend you ever had
And I prayed to god you'd find relief
From the things that you made your life sad

We were down forever, together forever all as one
But when the time came to step up and do it right, I saw you turn and run

I tried so hard, to help you hold it down
You never helped yourself, so sad to watch you drown
I tried so hard, to help you save your life
You never helped yourself, shut the door and say, "Goodbye"
Now say, "Goodbye"

You and me, eye to eye, hands tied together, live or die
Walk tall forever, all as one, never again, you turned to run

All for none

Everybody break out

You and me, eye to eye, hands tied together, live or die
Walk tall forever, all as one, never again, you turned to run

You'll never break me down

Unjustified, persecution of my free mind
I'm horrified, the cruel nature of you and your kind
Crucified for just tryin' to be myself
Suicide, I'd rather die than live in your hell

I will not break, I will not bend
I will not go quietly, I will never bow down to them

I close my eyes, I can see more clearly
You criticize the things I hold dearly
You victimize because you fear me
It's your demise, you should have let me be

I will not break, I will not bend
I will not go quietly, I will never bow down to them

Break me, you won't break me
Break me, you won't break me down

The harder I swim against the tide the more it pulls me down
Feel the pressure on my life, as I struggle and fight not to drown
Why do you, why do you try to break me? You'll never break me down
I'll never let you break me, you'll never break me down

The more I try to live my life, the harder you are on me
There is no wrong, there is no right, what will it take for you to see?

Why do you, why do you try to break me? You'll never break me down
I'll never let you break me, you'll never break me down
Break me, you won't break me, break me down

See the future, hate being unsure
Feel insecure, life without a cure
Invade my body like it was your own
A losing battle when challenged alone

I'm sick and tired
Of losing someone I love and admire
I'm fucking tired
Of losing someone like you

How can you feel it unless it happens to you?
Watching someone suffer, there's nothing you can do
Sit and wait with love and hate, emotions, they destroy
I question my faith, how can a God, how can a God take?

I'm sick and tired
Of losing someone I love and admire
I'm fucking tired
Of losing someone like you

How can I worship a God who takes life away
And leaves nothing but pain that never goes away?
I lie in bed each night, struggle to fall asleep
Memories in my head, I pray my soul to keep

Tried and true, I get up everyday and say
Life's too short, no time to look the other way
Gotta face what's inside, I gotta do away
With all the feelings behind my frozen heart, I pray

I'm sick and tired
Of losing someone I love and admire
I'm fucking tired
Of losing someone like you

I'm sick and tired
Of losing someone I love and admire
I'm fucking tired
Of losing someone like you

I will never forget what it is that you did to me
And I will never understand why
You insist upon inflicting pain and agony
On me forever everlasting

There's no way out, I'll never break free
I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me
There's no way out, I'll never break free
I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me

All my fucking life I've keep my head held high
Respected myself through thick or thin
Never asked anybody for anything
I just want to live with peace and dignity
But you insist on trying to pull me down

There's no way out, I'll never break free
I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me
There's no way out, I'll never break free
I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me

Where were you when I needed you
You were never around
I put my faith in you and you let me down

There's no way out, I'll never break free
I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me
There's no way out, I'll never break free
I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me

Motherfucker

Out of sight and out of mind
When you look at yourself do you find
Everything you want to be
Or do you see what I see

Too late to change your life
Step outside and say, "Good-bye"
To everything you left behind
What you seek you may not find

As I shed my skin
I leave you behind
As I shed my skin
I go on to a better life

Indecision fills my head
All the things I left unsaid
My heart is letting go
My pain you'll never know

If you love something set it free
What I love you took from me
Try to look, but you can't see
Try to put the past behind me

As I shed my skin
I leave you behind
As I shed my skin
I go on to a better life

As I shed my skin
I leave you behind
As I shed my skin
I go on to a better life, ah

How could you think it lasts forever
I sit and watch as you decline
Can't you see it's gone forever
Out of sight and out of mind

Twisted, broken
I sit and watch as you decline
Help me, help yourself
Out of sight and out of mind

I see you now in a different plane
Broken, used up, pathetic, in pain
You scream and fight, deny the shame
Your selfish heart is the one to blame

So much time has filled the space
Since we've been standing face to face
Wasted breath I've tried to explain
Still I see not a thing has changed

As I shed my skin
I leave you behind
As I shed my skin
I go on to a better life

As I shed my skin
I leave you behind
As I shed my skin
I go on to a better life, ah

How could you think it lasts forever
I sit and watch as you decline
Can't you see it's gone forever
Out of sight and out of mind

Camouflage you close your eyes, hiding in plain sight
Wrapped tightly in blankets of lies, live whatever life you synthesize
Disguise the truth about yourself, bury it six feet deep
Bring to life your deceit and stealth, lock the door and throw away the key

Hide behind your lies, I see through your disguise
It leads to your demise, I see it in your eyes

Disarray your life slips into, falling apart at the seams
You can't understand what's goin' on, who you once were is forever gone
On and on the tangled web you weave, runnin' from your past
You listen to whatever you want to believe
Too late karma comes around to you so fast

Hide behind your lies, I see through your disguise
It leads to your demise, I see it in your eyes

Hide behind your lies, I see through your disguise
It leads to your demise, it's in your fuckin' eyes, motherfucker

All you do is lie, cheat, deceive
Everyone you hate, need, believe
All you do is lie, cheat, deceive
Everyone you hate, need, believe
All you do is lie

Flippin' around the truth, you're slippin'
Tighten the noose around your neck is rippin'
Anything you wish, take a pen and script in
Manufacture the truth all you do is lie

All you do is lie, cheat, deceive
Everyone you hate, need, believe
All you do is lie, cheat, deceive
Everyone you hate, need, believe
All you do is lie

It's easy we scream for change
When everyday we act the same
How can a troubled government make us scapegoats?
When we don't go out and vote

We're spewing, spouting, condemnation
That the world we live in is a racist nation
Since our opinions contradict our statements
We show our prejudiced affiliations

Decline the civilization
A crime against humanity
In all our lies and our self pity
It's time to stop our apathy

You say you're a victim in pain
But you always prey on someone to blame
You want to end the suffering for the hungry and the poor
When they ask for help you slam the door

You want housing for the public good
But not in your own neighborhood
Industrial pollution makes you sick
But you ain't got time for politics

Decline the civilization
A crime against humanity
In all our lies and our self pity
It's time to stop our apathy

Decline the civilization
A crime against humanity
In all our lies and our self pity
It's time to stop our apathy

You want the world to be a better place
For your children, your people, your friends or race
But selfish reasons drive us all, it's all for one and none for all
The truth means nothing in a world full of lies
Hypocrisy is man's demise
The truth means nothing in a world full of lies
Hypocrisy is man's demise

You want the world to be a better place
For your children, your people, your friends or race
But selfish reasons drive us all, it's all for one and none for all
Hypocrisy is man's demise

Treated unfairly
You resent everybody that has so much
Of the things in life that were taken away from you
So wrapped up in your misery
You never feel the love that surrounds you
So wrapped up in your misery
You never notice that life passed you by

You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate

Left it all alone
Ignored by the one you need attention from
For the things in life you never achieved on your own
He can't be bothered to care for you
To hold and respect and be there for you
He can't be a real father to you
Some day he'll regret all time that went by

You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
And I've always hated to see you hurt inside
So much I try to help, but you push me away
Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate
Locked inside a world of hate

Beaten down for as long as you remember
Your life was analyzed, criticized and dismembered
Your hopes and dreams were discouraged and severed
The pain you've endured, the suffering you've weathered

You find it so hard to pull yourself together
To face the world to your fears you surrender
You dream of a day, you'll overcome and sever
The cycle of abuse and the pain you've carried forever
The pain you've carried forever

You're not alone
There's so many others that care for you
So many things in our lives you helped us all get through
It means so much to me that you're here
To share in my life and calm my tears
It means so much to me that you're alive
As you hold my child and wipe the tears from your eyes

You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
And I've always hated to see you hurt inside
So much I try to help, but you push me away
Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate

You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate

Government is not the solution to our problem
Government is the problem

Apocalypse fills my head
Fire and smoke turns the sky blood red
Thermonuclear warhead
Chemical warfare disease widespread

People kneel to the might of a figurehead
Mother Earth lies silent on Her death bed
Into the fire, the blind are led
Five billion people will soon be dead

War is no solution
To the conflicts that we face
The end of our evolution
Revolution, resist the hand of fate

Armageddon, the edge draws near
Reality becomes our biggest fear
Future once seemed so free and clear
Darkest hour life disappears

Punishment for greed and lust
Mass genocide, holocaust
Foretold predictions of the end upon us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

War is no solution
To the conflicts that we face
The end of our evolution
Revolution, resist the hand of fate

We wage a war
Which can't be won
Apocalyptic suicide
What have we done?

Fire
One day a great fire shall come
Rain
A cleansing rain will wash away the scum

War
Blood thirsty savages we've become
Revelation
Judgment night and now we're done

I pride myself on my will to survive
I will fight to stay alive
We've got the power, destroy or create
Terminate ourselves with our love for hate

Every night I kneel down and pray
There's nothing I can do to make it go away
We march for peace and scream for change
But the dogs of war will forever remain

The dogs of war will forever remain
The dogs of war will forever, forever remain

[Sasha]

Hey, yo fuck it. I'm rollin in a 4-barrel Camaro, toward the Triburough, eyes
narrow East River flow with marrow, along side the bridge zombies
pushing bodies in wheel barrels, bitches sterile follow on crutches of
rusted arrows try to breath through esophagus stuffed with sparrows,
the imperial, terrarembrium, the spherical, I turn the steering wheel
and pull into a 7-Eleven, met up with Billy, Danny, Rob and Evan from the
fucking Bio, yo we down for survival with acid raindrenched skin infest-
ed by termites, hermaphrodites on bikes swing spikes, think twice as I
try to pacify the pariah beside the driver and Shotgun kelly flips the
visor, time to devise a plan to reverse the demise of man before he's met
by the lastset of the sun, armageddon, no question to answer, disaster
results from behavior patterns. Earth lay raped, escape to saturn in a
capsule, thirteen days of travel. Upon arrival plans unravel, imbalance
of chemical pheremones, clones with no genitals surround us, we can't
fuck them, no means of reproduction. I hear a scream and turn in that
direction, 33-23-33, I see seven, coming toward us, to reward us...

Disorder, enter the Millenium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder

[Lord Humongous]

Armageddon, a new death is dawnin', I like the smell of napalm in the
morning, four riders of the apocalypse descend from the north, a fear in
my eye, I behold a pale horse. Armageddon, no time to cry we all die as
the sky turns red, the missles start to fly. Factionstake action, eleven
families rule, millenium approaches, survival of the roaches. Body
armor will make you feel calmer or safe from the drama, deplow stealth
military bombers, ass out, get down on your knees and pray; illuminati
takes your soul on the eve of judgement day as the armies of darkness
irradicate life and we all go to hell and satan fucks your wife. Strife, ter-
ror without a minute to pray, human beings at odds, peace becomes dis-
aray, I'm humongous from Mad Max, Lord of the Wasteland with crazy ill
troops all at my command, don't you ever fall victim to my master plan,
I'm the dealer of death and here's your motherfuckin' hand.

[D-Lux]

I'm ready to take back whatever they sold ya cuz the scheme is a secret
so nobody ever told ya, an underground illuminated tribe of radicals
ready to take forth and feast like cannibals, animals, huffing the fumes
of rotting flesh exhumed from the corpses of presisdents, dissents and
fools with a one way ticket from the temple of doom, dark sides of
moons and ill atomic booms leave the earth all shakin and full of
wounds from Krakatoa east of Java to Camaroon, and coming soon to a
theater near you, the end of everything that we once knew.

[Billy]

The grand finale strap my body with TNT, take the president and his
bitch with me tearing down the walls of this conspiracy, fuck skull and
bones and illuminati. Irradication of the land of the free but I'm the
brave, ain't going out like a motherfuckin' slave, neobarbaric post-
apocalyptic war, ground zero brooklyn, the world at war.

[Sticky Fingaz]

I woke up, bar codes on my forehead, it's a living nightmare, my families
all dead. I gotta call Fred but no dail tone, I'm out for
self cuz I'm gonna die alone, this is madness I'm drooling with the lock
jaw, my elevator don't go to the top floor, I hold my breath cuz the O2
killed, I'm suffocating, I can't pay my oxigen bill. There's no tomorrow, I
wish a nigga murder me, the president declared a state of emergency.
The coast guard bangin' at my front door, I got homemade bombs if they
want war. There's no sun, they put a fucking chip in me, I'm a clone, mat-
ta fact it's a different me. I'm high tech kid, you get a bomb in the mail, so
if you die today then I'll see you in hell, I'll see you in hell, see you in hell.
