No Holds Barred (live In Europ )

It's a motherfuckin' homicide, just deserts
A shotgun pointed right where it hurts
From the inside, the ones you can trust
You got connected to a serious bust
You thought you were a hustler, a boy that was rude
But now you're in the dirt, can of underground wormfood
Stupid motherfucker, you thought you would last
Well took the wrong path, now your name is in the past



Another fuckin' lowlife connected to the first
A crooked cop on the take, nothing could be worse
Twenty one gun salute, the widow lays the wreath
The whole police department covered up he was a thief
Yeah the city's finest, caught in deepest shit
Never thought the day would come, bang, a fuckin' hit
You call yourself the finest in the city, huh !
For scum like you, i have no fucking pity



Pre-chorus:

Pushing and scamming, distribute all your poison
You call yourself a man, well you're nothing but a boy son
A real man works hard, starves to climb the ropes
Not killing for money, on the corner selling dope
Money isn't everything, i guess it was to you
Did you control your own life or greed controlled you
For the lives that you destroyed, so morally depraved
For the people you left grieving, i spit on your grave



Chorus:

So it seems, this is the system, and i'm sorry to say
Dealers pay the cops to turn and look the other way
On both sides of the law, justice has been done
Not by a judge and jury but by the trigger of a gun



Lead

Everybody scratches and tries to get ahead
You took the easy way, it is easy being dead
The chamber spins three, grab the trigger then you pull it
The game is called roulette and you just won the bullet



Pre-chorus

Chorus 2x


The chamber spins three...

I'm fed up, i'va had it up to here
Tell me what is good for me and my career
Fuck you and your selfish advice
You've never been loyal to the same things twice
In your sheltered little lives, you don't know the scene
Doing as you're told, puppets of the big machine
Changing faces, revolving door hypocrisy
Who do you work for now, yeah, i see


Chorus i:

Music's for you and me
Not the fucking industry
You fucking tell us what is cool
You see we come from different schools


You got no crowd but you got a big push
Kissing asses till your pride turns inti mush
You might change your style for the record company
Fingers down your throat, you heave your integrity


You're weak, give it up, throw the towel and the flag in
And get your pussy ass off the motherfuckin' bandwagon
Never for a minute were you real in the first place
So far up someone's ass you got shit on your face


Chorus ii:

Music's for you and me
Not the fucking industry
You fucking tell us what is cool
You see we come from different schools
To us it matters what you say
Not the fucking games you play
You're full of shit, it's plain to see
The whole damn fucking industry


If you think for a minute this song's about you
Step the fuck back, cuz it's probably true
The message in the music is the reason that we're in this
That's what matters to us, not business
Music is for you and me, not the fucking industry
Try to tell us what is cool, we come from different schools
It only matters what you say, not the fuckin' games you play
Full of shit, it's plain to see, the whole damn fuckin' industry


Chorus ii

Monday yawning school's so boring,
Or go to work like a jerk and end up snoring,
Tuesday's mail never fails,
Collection agency wants me in jail,
Wednesday's rules got me ignoring deploring, my tensions roaring,
Thursday same shit different day,
But these motherfucking rules will never ever go away.


Fuck the rules.


Friday night gonna be out of sight,
If you're 21 they say drinking might be fun,
On saturday bible says seventh day,
The day of rest so have it your way,
Go for a ride keep it under 55,
Respect the badge don't drink and drive,
On sunday gotta survive these fascist fools,
Take your freedom back from the bullshit rules.


Call me paranoid call me what you will
I got a fucking feeling something big is going down.

Born at the bottom
Struggle to find a way
You can feel the power
It's growing every day
Fight for a change,
Can't wait until tomorrow
Make a difference on this day
And al the rest will follow


Chorus:


Blue blood
Working class survives
Don't forget your liberty
Blue blood
Working class survived
That's how we came to be
Blue blood
Working class survives
Don't forget your liberty


Chains must be broken if ever to be free
Blue collar workers screaming "liberty"
Respect, pride and honor
Is what we want to see
Tall proud working class
From sea to shining sea


Seeds are sown, within own,
We shall not digress
Cries of justice can't be suppressed
Across the land the wheels are now in motion
Calloussed hands create
A just commotion


It shouldn't be
A working class surpressed
We would rise above
With strength to contest
Our homeland will shine
To that i will attest
With blue collar pride
We'll show that america is the best


Chorus


The fathers of this nation
Laid the foundation
Working man's sweat
Is what built this nation
Winds of change rearrange
When all is said and done
We will forge ahead
The battle will be won!


Working class will rise above,
Standing tall and proud
Working class above - blue blood
Working class will rise above
We will not forget
Working class above - blue blood
Working class will rise above
Standing tall and proud
Working class above - blue blood

Look into the yes of a madman
You can see it in his face, he's a weak and sad man
Staring straight ahead, his eyes set like stone
With a nine millimeter cocked at your dome
No way out, it's too late 'cause you're already in it
So what'cha gonna do you'll be dead in a minute
Thinking slow will get you nowhere fast
A young life terminated with one short blast
You live like that, you die like this
That 's how it is
Livin' with regret is no way to live
That's how it is
You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss
That's how it is kid
How it is
That's what you get for
Living like this
With a bullet in your head - you're dead, you can't miss
Ain't no time for regret when you're body is in a bag
Ain't no time to change your mind when your head begins to sag
Should've known better, ain't working for you now
Maybe if you'd know better you'd be here somehow
So change your ways before you ways change you
With a hole in your head that you can see through
You're looking up and you're looking down
Shot's are rippin' out from all around
You're crying out for help but it can't be found
The voice of regret is the only sound
You play the game and you pay the price
For hustlin' in the gutter with the motherfuckin' street lice
You're runnin' and gunnin' and whatever else goes
And you're goin' with your crew whichever way the wind blows
"cause you got their back and they got yours
And you live for yourself and you make your own laws
But sooner or later what goes around comes around
You wind up dead and buried in hard, cold ground

Drug infested, narcotic, electric, schizophrenic,
Murderer arrested, a child molested, a race detested,
A building burnt down, insurance invested,
Homelessness lingers all around, rape, death, sickness,
Homeward bound unemployed, no love, no joy,
Cut down to size, a life destroyed, war, no peace,
Death, tragedy, no cure, disease, aids, leprosy,
A veteran dead below the knee, eyes burn in your head,
You cannot see.


Spending all my time just standing in line,
And i'm waiting, waiting to die,
Watching every day of my life go by,
Just waiting, waiting to die.


Children beaten, poisons eaten, look at the world, we're self-defeating,
Reputed, undisputedly polluted, crack heads with guns ain't afraid to shoot it,
Countries fighting for oil and gold while the hole in the ozone layer's out of control,
Brother kills brother in a world full of hate, too fucking late our heads on a plate,
Nature's dying, children crying, human race ass in a fucking pan frying,
With no one to blame except ourselves, greed transforms our earth into hell.


Murder, middle east assassination, extermination, human termination,
The war on drugs, humiliation,
A ruined nation, with no explanation.
Something to hide bound and gagged and tied,
A gun in your hand at your head, suicide,
It's censorship of my pure mind,
No justice, no truce, no hope to find.

Growing up i've seen a lot of shit in my time
I've seen hunger, hunger, pleasure, pain, violence and crime
I have learned from the mistakes of my friends that have died
And from those who have gone down in life that just never tried
Life is just too short i realize that now
I'm gonna get my shit together and i try to make it some how
Cause one thing that i have learned is that you only live once
So now i'll take life by the balls and squeeze until they crunch


Knowledge of the streets, a valuable tool
Type of education you can't get in school
Many hard times, losing friends, getting burned
Nobody to teach me, i just learned
A man like clay molded by his surroundings
He starts to take shape of the beating and the pounding
Assembly line that i've been through
A hard motherfucker with a bad attitude
Maybe its just the times we live in
Maybe its just urban discipline


The way of urban life are not as they seem
Standing up and fighting is what living here means
In order to survive you've fot to earn your respect
The only lessons that you learn are from things that you regret


Lead

Verse ii


Brooklyn, bronx, manhattan, staten island and queens
Standing up and fighting is what living here means
In order to survive you've fot to earn your respect
The only lessons that you learn are from things that you regret

I make now a stand for belief that i'm steadfast
In hating all of the bullshit you give me about my future, present and past
Who are you to infringe your values upon me, i've learned the hard way
Stepping on my toes, you've put my back to the wall, my back to the wall
I've been told a thousand times to give respect when due
Why do you find it so hard to believe i've got none for you
It's my heart and my mind that i'll always follow, i will not break
Nor will my balls, although that i've seen that you've tried before
Why are people fake ?


Chorus:

Maybe you're older, wiser in your own right, it's your mistake
I'm gonna do my own thing regardless, my choice to make
I am real, in touch with my feelings, and i know my place
You have shown, on the other hand, both sides of your face


I see the world in a different light
Things no always black and white
Through all these years still, to this day
My hardened eyes see only shades of grey


I would never try and tell you what was right from wrong
Maybe that's why you feel that i don't belong
Always put me down for things i've said and done
Can't you see it's a war that can't be won


Lead


A war that can't be won


Living in your world seems so clear on concise
Shutting out reality makes everything so nice
Paint a pretty picture black and white everyday
See my tattered canvass bleeding shades of grey


Chorus

Only the strong survive


Living all these days for myself, not you
Mind your own business i do what i do
All of you who like to preach all day
Now hear what i have to say
The smell of leather makes me high
I feel good inside when you cry
Nor remorse is felt when you sigh
Because skin keeps me warm and dry


Chorus (2x)


To wear my boots, i'll take a hide
To feed my face, i'll kill with pride
In this world of survival
Those with strength will have no rival


I'll smile as i drive down the street
Sitting in my car with plush leather seats
Survival of the fittest and that is the beat
And i eat all of the meat
Don't get me wrong
I come from the streets
I'll tell you now it's strong over weak
You slow - you blow
And you will meet your defeat
Now you will understand


Chorus


You will understand now

So many things these eyes have seen,
People i've met and places i've been,
Inconceivable how one maintains,
In the game with the pain and the strain on the brain,
How reality's plane can wear you down,
And make you an insane man who only frowns,
City hardened and cold just like me,
Anger has numbed my eyes from all they see.


Like a workingman's skin as it turns to leather,
The mind of the youth is forced to weather,
An assault on his senses by his parents and peers,
That preys on innocence, weakness and fears,
Manifestation of rage runs deep,
Over the edge of sanity, thoughts creep,
Violent reaction, bitter and mean,
A product of what these eyes have seen.


These eyes have seen inhuman sights,
I hold my breath with all my might,
Like anyone else in our own hells,
It seems obscene the things i've seen.


Lost count of how many wakes were attended,
Mind and body never quite mended,
Do you think this is what life intended?
At fourteen your life has ended,
Maybe your spirit is battered and broken,
From shit you've seen and words that were spoken,
Death, violence, drugs all around,
These eyes have seen some shit go down.

Your cards were dealt when
You drove through the night
As a man in dark clothes came into your sight
The barrel tapped the glass
You reached the window lock
Get the fuck out the car
And leave it in the crosswalk
He climbed into your seat
And dropped a vial of crack
Pissin' down your leg, you're a victim of carjack
Feel the cold steel as i pull the hammer back
Bang! you're fuckin' dead 'cause it's like that


Society, pushed him down and out
Soul provider what's it all about
Religion, faith can we do without
Social pressure we're too strung out


Another bad hand the cards have been dealt
Kid of fourteen, high aspirations held
To get ahead and run shit with his powerful will
Told by his role model, you're old enough to kill
See my ride, my bitches and my loot
If ya wanna survive be prepared to shoot
Stay hard like me, you're bound to do well
A waste of precious life, twenty five and an l


I'll put a bullet in your head for the colour of your skin
This is my neighborhood who the fuck let you in
I'll stick with mine stay with your own kind
The virus of hate infects the ignorant mind
