1. Smile Now Pay Later

Smiling faces
Dirty hands
Laughing faces
Blood on their hands

They've lost their souls
Why would they care for yours
What a misconception
You're the pawn in this deception
Always do as you're told
You let fear take the controls
We've been neglected
And you think we're protected

You can smile now
You'll cry later
You can laugh now
You'll pay later

Pray to your god
They won't save you
Believe in yourself
They won't save you
Nothing can save us
But ourselves and our minds

Smiling faces
Dirty money hands
Laughing faces
Blood on their hands

When did creed overrun the lives
Of the children innocence died
Many years before my time
For many years they're feeding us lies
Through these older eyes
I see a much colder side
Of human kind
I'll ostracize myself from those I despise

You can smile now
You'll cry later
You can laugh now
You'll pay later

Pray to your god
They won't save you
Believe in yourself
They won't save you
Nothing can save us
But ourselves and our minds

Dirty faces
Bloody hands
Laughing faces
Bloody hands
Dirty faces
Bloody hands
Laughing faces

2. Rev Up

Controlled minds
Lead the blind
You cannot control mine
You'll never control mine
The question is for you
The youth
What will you do
With all this proof
The information's all there
Educate yourself if you dare

You want the truth
You want the truth
Rev up
Rev up
You want the truth
It's within you
Rev up

Keep looking searching
See what you find
Don't fall for nothing
Don't fall in line
Use your own mind
To change their old minds

You want the truth
You want the truth
Rev up

You want the truth
It's within you
Rev up

Don't cut the root
But we need evolution
These troubled youth

Most of you
Suffer from delusion
You want the truth
Start a revolution
Yeah yeah

3. Freight Train

I'm steady rolling
I gotta keep it moving
Keep it flowing
Keep growing
Stagnation is a killer
Don't you know it
Well then go
Or get the fuck out of my way
No dead weight
They're lead weights
That anchor you down
I won't sink
And don't blink
You might miss me

Here we come, get out of our way, hey
We don't have the luxury
Of stopping for anyone, don't be in the way
Don't be on the tracks when you hear the train coming, hey
Hey you, get out of our way
No time to procrastinate
Can't slow down, get out of my way
Don't be on the tracks when you see the train coming

There's no time to lose
Only time to make moves
I'm sick of talking about paid dues
It's all a game, fool, life changes the rules
And I don't know another way
But straight ahead, I can't deviate
From this lane, fueled by pain
Fueled by love and rage on to better days

(I'm coming like a freight train)

Here we come, here we come
Here we come, here we here we come
Here we come, here we come
Don't be on the tracks when you see the train coming

Here we come, get out of our way, hey
We don't have the luxury
Of stopping for anyone, don't be in the way
Don't be on the tracks when you hear the train coming, hey
Hey you, get out of our way
No time to procrastinate
Can't slow down, get out of my way
Don't be on the tracks when you hear the train
Coming your way

4. Tempest

You're already dead
You just don't know it yet
Karma, karma is coming
With a full clip
You're hanging on by a thread
You just don't know it yet
The storm, the storm is coming
It's raining death

Watching the tide as it rises
Like the anxiety inside us
Cultivating diseases
Everyone praying to Jesus
We're at the dawn of hopelessness
That spawned the next era of dope kids
Emancipated from reality
Loved and hated by society

No accountability
Until the reaper comes calling then you plead

You're already dead
You just don't know it yet
Karma, karma is coming
With a full clip
You're hanging on by a thread
You just don't know it yet
The storm, the storm is coming
It's raining death

I'm watching the sun rise
Looking into my kids eyes
Can I protect them from this madness
From the wickedness, the sadness
We've not been kind to the mother
We've not been kind to each other
Our state of mind is like a gutter
You think it's fine we are flawed by design

It's a wicked wicked world
Full of wicked boys and girls
One foot in the darkness
Don't be consumed by the darkness

You're already dead
You just don't know it yet
Karma, karma is coming
With a full clip
You're hanging on by a thread
You just don't know it yet
The storm, the storm is coming
It's raining death on you

5. Old Fashioned

Head high live and die that way
Stand upright, mean what you say
Too many of you living on your knees
Too many of you living fantasies
Head high live and die that way
Stand up straight, live what you say
Too many of you living on your knees
Too many of you living fantasies

Go ahead and follow, stay in the cue
Go follow, don't do what you want to
The pressure, I know it's hard
So just buckle, fold, throw in your cards
As for me I'm pushing on
Been on my knees but I'm feeling strong
I don't believe in just playing along
Complacency is a sad song

Head high live and die that way
Stand upright, mean what you say
Too many of you living on your knees
Too many of you living fantasies
Head high live and die that way
Stand up straight, live what you say
Too many of you living on your knees
Too many of you living fantasies

Your faces are glued to that screen
Where your hatred reigns supreme
What does your life truly mean though?
No self esteem, no truth in your schemes
While most aspire to be something they dream
You aspire to do nothing but demean
No credibility, just pure fantasy
Your instability show everything

You never want to cross paths with me

I'd rather die standing upright (upright)
I'd rather die standing upright (upright)

I'd rather live standing up straight (up straight)
I'd rather live standing up straight (up straight)

6. Evil Ways

Evil never dies
It resides inside us
Right beside
Where angels are
If you awaken that beast
Hell will soon be unleashed
In violent times
Conditioned minds
Will cross the line
Compassion's dying
When you awaken that beast
Death follows, hell follows

Hate – all around us
Wait – I think it found us
Hate – all around
It's home it found us
Hate – all around us
Wait – I think it found us
Hate – all around
It's home it found us

I'm not the one you want to fuck with or test
I'm merciless, don't cross the line
Unleash the evil, now you have
Breathed your last breath, caused your own death

All around us
Wait – I think it found us
Hate – all around
It's home it found us
Hate – all around us
Wait – I think it found us
Hate – it's found its way to me

(Evil ways)

These motherfuckers ain't sick, just evil
Not mentally ill, just evil
You're killing fucking kids, just evil
You're a piece of shit, hell awaits

I hear the gunshots, bodies are dropping
Sons and daughters of sons and daughters, no stopping
I hear the pop pop pop, bodies are dropping
It's getting closer and closer, you can't stop it

These motherfuckers ain't sick, just evil
Not mentally ill, evil ways
You're killing fucking kids, just evil
It's getting closer and closer, can't stop it

7. Lone Wolf

I've heard it all before
Nothing you say warrants forgiveness
I heard those cries before
Can't run away, the wolves are at your door
I've heard that one before
Nothing you say warrants redemption
I heard those lies before
Can't run away, the wolves are at your door

One too many tales you've spun
One too many times you've failed
At honesty and honestly
You're caught up in your own web
You're caught up in your own head
One too many times you've prevailed
At being disloyal reaping the spoils
Of what I've earned that's costly

I've heard it all before
Nothing you say warrants forgiveness
I heard those cries before
You can't run away, the wolves are at your door

I can hear your cries
Just like I heard all your lies
For all this time why why why
Did you compromise us?
All my fears realized
All these years living that life that life
I'm so sick inside
You know it's that time now

There's no way that I can save you
From yourself. It's how they made you
My mistake was trying to change you
But I can't change you

I've heard it all before
Nothing you say warrants forgiveness
I heard those cries before
Can't run away, the wolves are at your door
I've heard that one before
Nothing you say warrants redemption
I heard those lies before
Can't run away, the wolves are at your door

8. Damaged Goods

On second thought I won't play along
Well I am who I am, right?
Always fought to undo the wrong
And if can't then I can't, right?
I've been trying to mold this facade
I've been crafting this false face
Overreacting that's my place
Get back in character, get back in sync

Tell me, tell me
Tell me how do I disengage
Tell me, tell me
It's always been about the rage
Tell me, tell me
Tell me how do I disengage
Tell me, tell me
You've always been my release from the pain

On second thought I can blame my father
Or my mother, why should I bother?
I'm not one to pass the buck like some others
Sometimes I don't give a fuck, I love 'em all but
I'm damaged goods, I'm that kid in your hood
So misunderstood, salvage the good, I wish I could
Wish I could change, I should for my kids sake
I'm a mistake, how could this change?

Tell me, tell me
Tell me how do I disengage
Tell me, tell me
It's always been about the rage
Tell me, tell me
Tell me how do I disengage
Tell me, tell me
You've always been my release from the pain

Tell me – somebody tell me
Tell me – somebody help me
Tell me – it's always been my release from the pain

9. The Fog

They got the bombers
A bullet can't save you
Fear and war
Let them serenade you

America we stood so silent, yeah
Hear no evil, see no violence, yeah
Speak no evil, keep it mindless
We're all caught up in the fog
It's all a racket, all a score
Red or blue, green money talks
Screw you then buy in bulk
We're the prisoners of this war

They got the bombers
A bullet can't save you
They got the bombers
Bullets won't save you
Fear and war
Let them serenade you
They got the bombers
Bullets won't save you

Oil, blood, money fills the banks
Puts working class kids in tanks
All the profits from all the war crimes
Lead all the pockets of all the fat swine
War machines bring chaos and pain, yeah
Blood falls from the sky like rain, yeah
Stand by the victims of freedom
Light a candle for the dead and the beaten

They got the bombers
A bullet can't save you
They got the bombers
Bullets won't save you

Send them young ones to die for the cause
Who's cause? Not ours
Send them young ones to die for us all
But not really

They got the bombers
A bullet can't save you
They got the bombers
Bullets won't save you
Fear and war
Let them serenade you
They got the bombers
Bullets won't save you

They got the bombers
A bullet can't save you
You, you, you, you
Fear and war
Let them serenade you
You, you, you, you

10. Es Tu Vida

Es tu vida
Pelea por tu vida
Es mi vida
Yo peleo por la mia

Si es asi
En esta vida
Las cosas negativas nos enseñan
Pero, no
Son los dueños de mi

Para arriba
Las cosas positivas
Vienen cuando uno quiere
Si tu lo quiere'

Nadie ha caminado
En mis zapatos
Todos caminamos
Distintos pasos

Hay fracasos
Y tiempos altos
Pa’ arriba, pa' abajo
Aqui aguantamos

El ciclo de consecuencias no para
El ciclo de violencia
Presente
En mi cara

En esta vida
Las cosas negativas nos enseñan
Pero, no
Son los dueños de mi

Para arriba
Las cosas positivas
Vienen cuando uno quiere
Si tu lo quiere'

Es tu vida
Pelea por tu vida
Es mi vida
Yo peleo por la vida
Si es asi

¿Cómo logramos llegar a ese punto?
¿Cómo logramos?
¿Cómo llegamos?
Peleando
Luchando
Peleando
Luchando

Si es asi

En esta vida
Las cosas negativas nos enseñan
Pero, no
Son los dueños de mi

11. For You

It's been so long
Look how your boy has grown
I always tell him his mama's home
She's in the sky high, she's looking on
My heart breaks but we must carry on

We must carry on for you
We must carry on for you
All the hard times we go through
I know you're listening, I know you're there too
Cause we must carry on for you
For you

Damn it's been too long
Look how far we've come
On this ride that we've been on
Still can't believe that you're gone
Everyday for you I sing a different song
Because

We must carry on for you
We must carry on for you
For you

What we do is for you
We live for you
Everyday when I look to you I
Have the strength, have the faith
Always try for you

We must carry on for you
We must carry on for you
All the hard times we go through
I know you're listening, I know you're there too
Cause we must carry on for you
For you

12. For The Cause

We go on and on and on

You say never reach for the stars
You say you'll never get too far
You say it's a lost cause
I go on and on and on
Keep on keeping on
You say never reach for the stars
You say you won't get too far
You say we're a lost cause
We go on and on and on
Keep on keeping on

I see a world with no limits
You say I'm being naive
Well I'm not young or privileged
I know what I've lived, what I've seen
Yeah we all struggle
The hard times, they keep us humble
Your words cut into me
They left a mark that reminds me

This world will test us all
Your doubt fuels my cause

You say never reach for the stars
You say you'll never get too far
You say it's a lost cause
I go on and on and on
Keep on keeping on
You say never reach for the stars
You say you won't get too far
You say we're a lost cause
We go on and on and on
Keep on keeping on

I say the sky is the limit
You can't see past the overcast
Above the darkness is where I'm headed
Where hope is vast
We should never let go
Of all the pain and words that echo
So I can't say I won't again
Give me the fuel that I need to ascend

This world will test our resolve
Your hate fuels my

My cause, my beliefs
My victories and defeats
They're mine and only mine
My cause, my beliefs
My vindication will set me free
You can't undermine

Can't hold me back (can't hold me back)
Can't set me back (you can't set me back)
You can't hold me back
We go on and on and on

You say never reach for the stars
You say you'll never get too far
You say it's a lost cause
I go on and on and on
Keep on keeping on
You say
You say
You say, fuck what you say
On and on and on
