01. New Jack

Listen up here
Said a wise man to a fool
Here unlike there
There are no set rules
Remember one thing
You came here alone
That's how you'll do this bid,
That's how you'll go home
Learn how to do time,
Don't let time do you.
Now that you've entered
Your humanity is withdrawn.
Known only as a din number,
Your life is at pawn.
I bet you never imagined
To be beaten and caged
With no one to pity
Your prayers nor your pains.
And you thought in the streets
That your life was so unfair and cruel.
Make one careless mistake here, boy,
And you'll drown in your own pool.
So take this advice
Stay alert and on cue.
Keep only to yourself
And your ears in sharp tune.

02. One Voice

Stood strong through right or wrong.
Fought pain with time and hate.
Here i stand alone and on fire
In a room with a view, a fence with barbwire.
Today my world ends and so theirs begins.
Slowly trying to justify comparible sins.
I stand here alone and unafraid.
I've known in my past I've done worse days.
May be apart from my dreams and desires
Yet no man can withhold me from what i most admire.
Stood strong through right or wrong.
Fought pain with time and hate.
I'll fight when they try to strip me
Of my rights and won't, i won't accept defeat.
I may be down but I will not be beat.
One voice.
With pride I'll keep on striving till I die
And never, never will I black out.
The streets remain in heart without a doubt.
One voice.

03. Infiltrate

(instrumental)

04. The Tomb

Face society and its bias laws.
Roam through endless courts and its corruptive jaws.
They say a man is innocent till proven guilty.
For sure they meant the opposite in reality.
Forced to a plea, forced to give in.
Refused to seek justice, chosen to turn their chins.
Now you've got their offers. He say you cant refuse.
They choose your public defender
To be sure you'll give in and lose.
Don't get caught, don't give in and lose.
Nothing beats the truth to be set free.
Minute turn to hours, hours to days.
Days into nightmares with therapy pain.
Forced into a plea to withdraw your rights.
Fell into its contents refusing to continue the fight.
Now the truth is sought, costly in its length.
Time to be set free, regain your natural strength.
Don't fall into-broken rules-don't be fooled.
Hold strong, stay free.

05. Your Fall

Here we come to demolish the wall.
We've waited years to witness this fall.
Today we see the truth among curious lies.
We've come to seek justice with our own eyes.
Brick by brick we slave for a life
And mortar mix for dimes.
We won't allow ourselves to be beat.
We won't level this wall of dirty deeds.
Our rise will be your fall.
With force we'll crush your wall.
Yet it is true how we've been kept in the dark.
For our life lacks the beauty of yours.
And while the poorer get poorer
You could care less because you're set for life with riches.
Brick after brick we've slaved for your life
And mortar mix for nothing but dimes.
Never again will we ever be beat.
Nnor will we level this wall full of dirty deeds.

06. Over The Edge

Pure hatred burns deep in my soul because our bond has cracked in time.
It's taken months for my cool to explode.
Now whats been damaged remains in my mind.
I should have listened to those you called fools
For the fool was i to be led blind.
You've played your final game, the odds have failed you again.
My faith was all to blame.
I thought you were a friend id trust till end.
These days you learn to trust no one.
You must include those closest friends.
For what has many of their promises done?
But left you betrayed in the end.
I should have listened to those you called fools
For the fool was i to be led blind.

07. Undertow

Yesterday, my world crashed with a blast.
That period i chose to bury my past.
It tells of time-my back against the wall.
Back then, a victim of society to maul.
Spend your life pushing and shoving to climb to the top
But you're held by a thread.
All the work you've don't goes to waste
Because in this life you just cant get ahead.
Again my world came tumbling hard upon my back.
Life sifted through my hands like sand through an hourglass.
It tells of time i'll never recapture.
The grains controlling my life scarred me forever.
So this is how it goes-you give with no return.
You're always undertowed-can't get ahead.

08. Now & Then

You see it was drawn easy, my services for a rewarding fee.
Never thinking then of the hundreds i've hurt.
Their morals and family so deserted, you see,
Back then my mind was conned, caught in a pipe dream.
Understand my path set forth from a struggling background.
Mom always worked her hardest maintaining her four hounds.
Scared and afraid that my own child's future was at stake
Quickly reacting was where i made my biggest mistake.
Filled with dillusions i fell,
I fell deep in my grave carried by deceits devouring waves.
I can still remember her nights in tears of rage
Never giving up even with her life in a ruthless maze.
Took a harsh lesson for me to understand life.
What once was taken granted stabbed with a knife.
I've towed along loved ones throughout my experiences,
Placed them in torturous wars when it all was needless.
Now and then i failed to think deep clear inside.
Now and then i rather maintain a modest existence.
Now and then never again will i barter my freedom.

09. Crime Without

Bless me, Father, for i have sinned.
Those crimes that I committed, well, I did 'em again.
Empty my soul to empower yours.
Lead me blindly down the path to salvations doors.
God in your vanity laws you decree.
Will give eternal freedom with murder first degree...
Look in the mirror, what would you see.
A reflection of your people struck by power and greed.
Bless me, Father, for i have sinned.
The guidelines for my behavior from above, not within.
They say man is his own hell.
Man created in God's image, that goes for you as well.

10. Retaliate

Clenching my fist, holding it in.
Can't keep up the guard, i must break within.
I've kept to myself, obeyed my script.
Now I've violated into a boiling fit.
I've given fair warning, best known to enforce you.
You wish to challenge my anger, i wish to prove you untrue.
I've set no room for lost untrue memories of how it was then from those who lived.
Step back new jack.
It would have been wiser to have kept you in check.
Destroying the chance of you crossing the line.
Retaliate, step back new jack.
Take this advice, retreat off my tracks.
Build your own life, don't live off my past.
For in this future I'll play a new role.
Excluding freeloaders, I've set a new goal.
I've given fair warning, best known to enforce you.
You wish to challenge my anger, i wish to prove you untrue.
You'll never know the load of shit you dug throughout time.
I could never ever sleep at night with you in my mind.
I don't live a life full of lies.
You built your own wall to break.
I always had a lot to give and all you did was take.
I won't live a life full of lies.

11. Force Feed

Our hundred years ago as enforced today,
The barriers built then to reform undesirable prey.
Removed from civilization, reduced to depraved moles.
Once freedom is withdrawn the levels of hatred soar.
For in this house you call our home,
Your righteous land, your torturous tombs.
Lust in our future to strengthen our eyes overlook instigations made of immoral lies.
Force fed lies.
Keep our lives in colors, animosity you feed.
Create a need of power, when men wear shades of green.
Now pit us, bait us and place us on your board.
Come arm us, force us, and use us in your war.
Again in our valley where the buffalo roamed
Your sociopathic battle mourned 7 new souls.
The mission a success, divide and conquer technique.
The creator not a myth, just an injurious elite.

12. Bastard

i remember just the best of you,
like the beatings and bruises you gladly through.
and when it came down for mental support
a blatant strike was how you would resort.
tell me what i have done wrong to deserve pain so strong.
haven't i proven your pride or just a loser in your eyes?
So what in the truth is to expect from you
After being so abused, so confused?
But that's alright because it only shows
That all you had to offer were a few low blows.
Where did i do you wrong?
When have i done you wrong?
I know you wish i never existed.
Showing detain you never resisted.
A real father figure you never showed.
Just emptiness is all i knew.
Tell me where did i go wrong?
Was i when i was first born?
I could never be your son for all the damage that you've done.
Where did i do you wrong?
When have i failed to show that i can only hold such wrong...
