Best of Me 01:32
So many wanna live on the way to die A wryness in the grin of destiny Another one lost in the charade of time I won't let this cold world get the best of me I don't wanna, I don't wanna move See the writing clear as day and night Societies plight may it rest in peace All for one is just a waste of time I won't let this cold world get the best of me I don't wanna, I don't wanna move for you
3.
Simian spawn from the middle of a rock Video killed the vim left the system in shock And the feeling don't stop Still the children seek the rhythm of the river city stomp You got the feel, you know the deal You can't leave it alone You ain't real unless the river runs deep in your bones You know the moves and routines so keep it on the low from the slew of moodswings My people in the know ready to choose a new dream Beneath evil's nose eager to grow
4.
Visionaries getting buried while they're living Bare witness to a perilous existence The air is thick pollution impair the senses Careful where you step the root of evil is within inches Wars at the front door people in the trenches Torrential blood pour lethal injection Machine of greed imperialist agenda Release the beast five oh lead the procession Body bags and dollar signs Founding fathers autograph the dotted line Volatile visceral spark the crime Pillaging the block to keep a piece of the rotten pie All rise for your honor The righteous have fallen go and buy what you wanna I'm just following the way that I was raised to be We all pray faithfully to different shades of green Way out, feel the force the world moves against you Break down, reveal your worth a verdict of servitude Pray now, give life and let your god desert you Faith drowns, vultures circling above virtue Pushing daisies through eyelids Got you consuming while you sleep If all this bullshit is relevant, why is the truth obsolete Opressor got the upper hand Spitting crumbs with tongue in cheek In the company of karma, blood is what I seek

Muddy Waters 02:31
Deep inside reaching for light I try to find peace keeping my eyes closed Dreaming of the leisures of life like Believing it's alright has never creeped in my mind though At times I wonder who to trust walking on muddy waters pools of blood You know this cruel world is too unjust It's all muddy waters pools of blood Some emerge through the dust walking on muddy waters pools of blood Mothafucka nothing's new to use it's all muddy waters pools of blood I keep it moving Strongest suffer longest it's our turn to burn this long list At least they fucking profit off our empathy White supremacy masked as democracy We no longer aim to please refuse to live life on your knees I feel the venom of the strike devil in disguise balancing the lies told Forever in denial death is imminent for now it's a battle for survival
6.
Substance 01:57
Gimme gimme gimme everythings so fucking pretty prick The vain of vanity realities so shitty Won't you take me back I'm looking for that good stuff Ain't no good at nothing but your boy's got that hookup I gotta let em know Where's the substance? Is there nothing new? My blood is running dry dying while I wonder what to do Now take a little nibble off this dry and brittle bone May not be much to you but this is all I call my own Hollow halls I roam in search of another muse My blood is running dry dying while I wonder what to do Won't you let me know?
7.
Jungle of Stone home of hatred filled with boiling blood Until the soul is vanquished The mood is wrecked this evil world Can't bring to light serenity Gotta prove yourself the feeble curl from the wrath of life that's dead Face the big mistake Had a moment lost momentum now deal with the shame Leave your secrets at the threshold pride can meet the present Keep an eye out for yourself Season of Depression
8.
I've slipped I can admit it Though at a price couldn't handle life Without a grip on the minutes Ain't no playing in the sands of time I tend to focus on the friction Without just due or sacrifice A firm grip on the minutes Now we're playing in the sands of time
9.
Light on the prime, time is all I got The time has come to acquire funds I'm tired of struggling Hungry enough to bite the dust Just meat in the grinder, look alive don't avoid the means Do you need a reminder we all live off soylent green Void of loyalty this whole world is Void of loyalty soylent green
10.
At a loss when I look at my reflection Watching me watching me in disgust with no resentment Best to keep a distance from myself or else I'll get it Will is weak still I breath and think that it's pathetic Waste of life pay the price lies you touch I don't know what I've become Faded prime vapors rise inside my lungs Soon you'll see the future isn't bright enough You would think I choose to be a pile of nothing At a loss when I look at my reflection Another wrong done live with the regret I feel a second wind underneath acceptance Keep my composure or I'll spill whatevers left
11.
Civilized 02:44
Patrolling the streets playing god with a simple mind Am I supposed to believe a coward with a gun will keep it civilized Bringing the fear out Appear powerful I feel the fear now People weary see it daily when police round Gimme a reason I should think a pigs a hero Idle hands behind a badge License to kill fire at will Divide the masses rivals clash violence instilled blind to the ills Don't resist keep it civilized Don't the pigs keep it civilized Kill my identity to civilize an empire of prisons
