1. _ Hi-Lo
It's not about a revelation
It's not about some religion
It's not about a house of worship
It's about our redemption
We have to make it work
We've got to live, give, don't trip
Why do you ask what I believe in
When we both know that you don't care
If heaven's high
Then hell is low
How do we know
Where we all go
It's not about sectarianism
It's not about superstition
It's not about what you believe in
It's about our salvation
Don't ask why
I don't know
I'm just trying
To save my soul

2. _ Games
Standing up at the plate
Waiting on my date
I was startin' to worry
She was a half-hour late
My team don't like it
When I delay the game
But they know I'm crowned
The girl's on the rebound
Life is like a stadium at night
Crowd cheers jeers
Drama spotlights
The public know us
Maybe they don't
But now I'm gonna show 'em
What the cameras won't
Time is running out for you and me
What's it all about?
When I was a kid
I went down to the minors
For stealing a base
They gave me a shiner
Sat me on the bench
'Til I learned my lesson
Little older, wiser
And a little less aggressive
At the age of seventeen
I got back on the team
Like a quarterback sneak
Every kid's dream
Never far from home
Always in the zone
Home or away
In ballparks and domes
C'mon and play these games today
Who wants to play these games today
I'm gonna play these games today
We gotta play
Play games
Oh yeah! The games we play
We play games
I've seen the bad calls
Injuries and penalties
But I keep ducking
All the blocks with ease
Big game exposure
All star composure
You asked me to prove my skills
Then I showed ya
The clock ticks down
To the year two thousand
I went for the gold
And I damn near found it
To those who told
I would never succeed
It's first and goal
And I'm the M.V.P.

3. _ Isms
You come on over right through my front door
Strapped with all your baggage
What you bringin' that for
Don't want no disrespect 'cause we all know the score
But you need to put time in
At the common sense store
Yes yes why all you're brain washed all in your head
Let's make one thing crystal clear
We don't want no ism here
How you say you hate me and you're not ashamed
It's just insecurity that's causing you pain
Well if you can't get past that we are not the same
Then realize that ism is a part of the blame
Racism - we don't want it here
Sexism - we don't need it here
Fascism - we don't want it here
Keep that ism out of my ear
Terrorism - we don't want it here
Leftism - we don't need it here
Fakeism - we don't want it here
We don't want it we don't need it

4. _ Rise Above
Rise above
You can rise above
With a little bit of love
Life has taught me one thing
How it is I want to live
Love has shown another light
Gave me, something to believe in
There is love hate, birth and death
For us all
In these pits do not fall
Rise above
Detachment from the body's needs
Cannot live my life in fear
From my mind I must be free
Free at last I see so clearly
There is wealth, loss, pleasure, pain
In this world
So you know
This will go
Quick as it comes
And like the smoke we rise
You better open your eyes
'cause your soul can't hide behind the lies
Open up and breathe
You gotta plant the seed
Check the flow of the breath over reed

5. _ Numb
Could I fly around the world
If my wings were really broke
And see so clearly
Drowning in grey smoke
I've got to stay quiet
But there's so much to say
If I could feel my arms
I'd push it all away
I know there is a future
And the best is still to come
When all I have are feelings
Why am I always
Wishing that a moment
Was really like an hour
Then every penny that I earn
Could balance out the dollar
Something that's spent on patience
Would make me patron saint
You know I might be ordained today
I guess I'll have to wait
Hurry up and wait
Gotta break it out
Gonna turn the lights on
See what's there for me
Take a look around
With an open shutter
There's a world to see

6. _ Buggin'
Maybe I fly too much
Maybe you're high too much
I don't know, but I know
That I'm buggin'
Maybe I think too much
Think maybe you're out of touch
I don't know, but I know
That I'm buggin'
On and on and on it goes
Where it stops nobody knows
Round and round and round again
It feels like this will never end
Maybe I bitch too much
Shut the fzzuck up
I don't know, but I know
That I'm bugging
Maybe I smoke too much
Please put out that butt
I don't know, but I know
That I'm bugging
I'm buggin'

7. _ Bulletproof
Check check one two on the boom shot
Here's the one on the gun in the street spot
Little boys in the hood far from L A.
Got the heat on the street
Now they're ready to play
Got the look of a crook
Now they got the prop
Gassed up head full of lead
Might even drop a cop
Or not, who knows, it could go any way
But fun with a gun the games children play
Why did someone have to be the victim
Of a stupid game you shouldn't be playing
Don't you know that guns aren't for children
I tried to tell you but you didn't listen
The second verse skit is on the hearse tip
Young fingers on triggers and bodies gonna get hit
Lick the shot's that go bang in the night
Just that quick you know he lost his life
Such a shame that the game
Had to end like that
Body dies mama cries
When the hammer cracks
I know you didn't mean it
The damage is done
It's what you get
Playing with gun, son
Bulletproof it's a shame
Bulletproof and you know the game
One mistake, a lifetime of pain
Hell your cell yourself to blame
Bulletproof no you ain't
Bulletproof and nobody is
A gun ain't a toy, toys are for kids
Click-clack-pop-pow look what you did

8. _ Getting Live
I'm hitting switches in my eighteen wheeler
Burning trees on the run from the smokies like a dealer
A master MC on the CB kid nappin' your ears G
But you can't even see me
I'm breakin' up all you good ol' guys
And I'm collecting mad props
At truck stops from all your wives
I keep it live with word manipulation
Its the dog eat dog roguish armament invasion
All across the nation and around the world
People are getting live, yeah they know the time
We won't stop and we won't quit
And all you truckers gotta deal with it
We don't care we got the right
Stupid gear jammin' we're getting live
Breaka breaka one-nine it's live and direct
The I double L captain of the armament
The FCC's been looking for me
This is my radio these are my channels hundred and twenty five channels
Testing
We're going down in the live annals ancient ones
The handle
I burns the candle at both ends it's live my son
Raw like sewage world wide is how we do this
Keeps it true to the music so you can move kid

9. _ Rocky
You're just like the kid next door
Still too young and immature
You always seem to hang around
When you're not wanted you're always found
Why do you embarrass me
So everyone can see
Us duke it out on live TV
Hey Rocky I hate to say
I wish you would just go away
Don't come back another day OK
What did you come here for
Don't want to be insecure
It's about time that you went home
So go away leave me alone

10. _ Step Right In
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
Dog Eat Dog said to step right in
Dog Eat Dog said to step right out
Dog Eat Dog said to step right in
Tell me son what the fuck is life about
[Verse One:]
We search this world for love peace & harmony
But all we found was hate deceit & jealousy
Dog Eat Dog so come and check the dialogue
Get your brain out of the fog
Vinny Barbarino represent the Sweathogs
All Boro Kings Roadrunner Catalog
You could run but you can't get far
No matter where you at, that's where you are
[Chorus: ]
No matter where you from
Don't matter what you do
We got the bangin' beats and you can all get some
It's like a rabid dog infecting you (x2)
[Verse Two: ]
Explosion I'm moving like motion
I'm gigantic like the atlantic ocean
Feel the force I strike with the iron cross
You're the face of the pale horse
True indeed we plant the seed to infiltrate the
Whole World Community
We're taking no slack it's an all out attack
cause this time the RZA let us hook the track
Word to god together on a mission so guard your
Tape deck we're converting stereos
Dog Eat Dog and the RZArecta tell you one more time boy
Protect your neck
[Chorus]
Dog Eat Dog said to step right in
Dog Eat Dog said to step right out
Dog Eat Dog said to step right in
Tell me son what the fuck is life about
[Chorus]

11. _ Sore Loser
You tried out for the high school team
So you would have some childhood dreams
That you and your father could share
Football coach said you're too small
Don't even think of basketball
You knew you were destined to fail
Went to the track meet
Wanna be an athlete (sore loser)
Get back in your seat they said
Go to the dugout
Three strikes you struck out (sore loser)
And home runs flew over your head
Looking down on rock 'n' roll
And you dreamed of scoring goals
You're saving those dreams for your bed
Thought it was cool to be a jock
You ended up a rent-a-cop
A dozen donuts in your hand
You're a loser
A sore loser
Now it seems the tables turned
The game of life you should have learned
So try using some of your brains
All your high school friends are stars
Driving really fancy cars
The irony drives you insane
