Verse 1
I don’t wear hip sunglasses or rock fancy clothes
But I wear my heart on my sleeve and I bear my soul
I don’t want no fancy jewels I’ll leave them for you
I’ll keep making music that’s what I’ll do
Chorus
I’ll burn my bridge
I’ll stand alone
I’m just a man with a microphone
Verse 2
Some do it for money, some for the fame
So many out there baby all sound the same
Starving artists die hungry what should I eat
I’ll feast on melodies and I’ll snack on beats
Chorus
Verse 3
I could write a million words that don’t mean a thing to you
Or I could say just one thing that means the world to you
And I’m stuck somewhere between the middle
Where I say too much but it means to little
But what’s it, what’s it mean to you
Chorus

VERSE 1
Smoke floats thru the air as it leaves from lips
It twirls so seductively just like she twirls those hips
With her smile sweet as honey
Ya she’ll drink away your money
Snatch your heart and then she’s running
And you never saw it coming
CHORUS
Broken heart! empty wallet! Is how you’re leaving here tonight!
Cuz she knows what she’s doing! When she’s underneath the spotlight!
VERSE 2
Johnny walks into a bar and he sees her pass by
He smells her Jack Daniels perfume and sees sex in her eyes
You thought you had her in your palm
Put your just a little pawn
You order one more jager bomb
You turned your head and now she’s gone
CHORUS
You show up with a girl on your arm so you thought you were safe
And right when your back was turned she swiped her right off your plate
Didn’t know she’s a switch hitter
Now your lady’s leaving with her
Better warn all of your friends
Cuz she’ll do it all again
Chorus

Verse 1
The gasoline burns bright tonight
As we set this town alight tonight
Engulfed in the mayhem but lost inside your eyes
Sirens wailing down the avenue
And from this rooftop theirs a perfect view
Above all the chaos we raise our molotovs high
CHORUS
Let’s etch our names in theses blood red skies
I see the fires burning in your eyes
The world could go and crumble around you and me
Cuz right now I’m exactly where I wanna be
VERSE 2
Breaking glass with baseball bats
While we're taking names and kicking ass
I wish the sun decided not to rise
Wreaking havoc that’s the plan
Hand in hand with spray paint cans
Above all the chaos we raise our molotovs high
Chorus

Verse 1
It’s the same song and dance all over my vicinity
Dudes ain’t gangsta but they sure as hell pretend to be
Buzz like Lightyear gonna rock it to infinity
They let you on stages oh my god you must be kidding me
Rhymes blow minds like brain aneurysms
Flow so sick it’s called botulism
Like a car with high miles I’m just so driven
Shit ain’t perfect but at least we’re living
Come alive like Lazarus reanimated
My styles like little old ladies hard to hate it
It’s time we get these airwaves decontaminated
Intertwine beats and rhymes like hair getting braided
Now that your ears have just been invaded
Grab a cup fill it up and get annihilated
Verse 2
It’s a war of words and I came to battle
With beats that bang like a judge’s gavel
I put letters together like a game of scrabble
And when i'm done with all that’s left is gravel
Flow tighter than some hipsters jeans
And shine off the dome like I’m Mr. Clean
Spit it out like nothing the flows Listerine
So you can’t say shit like Mr. Bean
Shit’s lethal like death row injections
Fulla bars like good cell reception
Always moving in a forward direction
Sick jams let’s spread the infection
Earthquake em it’s a natural disaster
I know my futures bright I’m my own forecaster
Chorus
Spaz out , Start wylin , Get violent
Just lose your shit like G.G. Allin
I came here to rock it so how bout you
Get down to the sound of something new
Spaz out , Start wylin , Get violent
Just lose your shit like G.G. Allin
I came here to rock so how bout you
We leave the stage in the shambles when we come through.
Verse 3
Whenever we come to your town
It’s like a bank robbery everybody get down
Let me tell ya just who we are
Breathe life to the music like CPR
Eat you up like tapes in a VCR
I know you got our new shit bumping in your car
You ball as hard as Kevin Bacon with a bum knee
Can’t fuck with the Dream Team when you’re just Wanabi’s
So what if you don’t think that hood enough
So what if you don’t think I rhyme good enough
I feel it in my soul and that’s good enough
Ok you feel me that’s good. Enough.
Chorus

Verse 1
grey daze i just can't shake it
strange ways to help me make it
through the pitter patter skitter scatter brained times
your music always clears my mind
Chorus:
I watch the rain go down the window
pains me to see how things go sometimes
lie in bed wasting the day away
listening to music for a rainy day
Verse 2
a storm i fear is nearing
clouded thoughts in need of clearing
never to prepared for whats next to come
cuz it's nothing you can save me from
Chorus
Bridge
as the guitar strings begin to be strummed
my heart beats in tune with the drums
in this moment right here
as the world disappears
me and the music are one
Chorus X2
I watch the rain go down the window panes

VERSE 1
You take pen to paper by the candlelight
With a war of words you are armed and prepared to fight
Your rhymes are crimes
But in these troubled times
There’s only so much one can stand……you take a stand
CHORUS
The signal has been lost for so long
Breaking through the static your rebel song
Words fell on deaf ears for years and years
But now the signal is loud and clear
VERSE 2
Armed with microphone we can change the world
To inspire a fire in little boys and girls
Rumblings from the underground seeping through the cracks
They won’t be silenced anymore
The sleeping giant we’ve waited for
Now they’re screaming there’s no turning back……no turning back
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Your regularly scheduled broadcast of oppression has been put on hold today
The people have spoken and they have something new to say
They won’t be silenced anymore
They don’t want violence anymore
All they want is freedom

Verse 1
She wiped the dust from my eyes
And took me by the hand
And taught me how to navigate these cruel, harsh lands
So now I know I'll be alright
If forced to tiptoe the edge of a knife
Because she taught me how to dance to the rhythm of life
Verse 2
Their wisdom still whispers in the wind that sways the trees
And what they taught her has been passed on down to me
And know I know I'll be alright
If forced to tiptoe the edge of a knife
Because they taught her how to dance to the rhythm of life

Verse 1
They say we’re from the bad part of town, the wrong side of the tracks
Shit is always bout to go down so you better watch your back
And it’s our home no matter what you think of it
But keep on talking as if we’ll ever give a shit
Chorus
It’s not nice and it’s not pretty but god I love my, piece of shit city
Verse 2
It’s dirty and gross but baby it’s mine
Like a pig in shit and hey we’re just doing fine
So while your lookin down at us from your fancy chateaus
We’ll be tearing it up in the mother fucking ghetto
Chorus
Bridge
We’re from the bad part of the town the wrong side of the tracks (3x)

Verse 1
I'm tired of thinking all the time
Trying to think of stupid rhymes
Moving to fast in a hurry to nowhere
Need to sell yourself got to get out of here
Look down inside yourself let it go
Why do you ask if you don't care to know
Chorus
Singing in the mirror ain't no fünn
One day I'll have my moment in the sun
Singing in the mirror ain't no fünn
One day I'll have my moment in the sun
Is anybody listening or am I the only one
Verse 2
Searched deep in my heart looking for myself
Got lost in my conscience and found some one else
Moving to fast I got to slow down
Getting to deep help me before I drown
Sometimes I feel like I'm just treading water
I'm ok, No I'm not, Shut up
Chorus
Bridge
Don't get lost in your own psyche
Some people pray to a god named Nike
Just do what what you got to do say what you got to say
Don't believe the hype and just do it your way

Verse 1
I don’t know what you search for , I don’t even think you do
You think you have it figured out, but you haven’t the slightest clue
You gotta dig beneath the surface and try to leave your heart ajar
Cuz even the most brilliant diamonds still have their flaws
Don’t get stuck on the superficial cuz we’re all just skin and bone
Cuz in your search for Mr. perfect your gonna die alone
Chorus
Cuz we’re all a little broken and we’re all a little scarred
And we’re all just sitting hoping someone can mend our broken hearts
And we’re all a little battered and we’re all a little bruised
I know you feel you've lost it all for love so what have you got to lose
Now
Verse 2
You couldn't look past her politics or how they taught her how to pray
And now you can’t believe you let the one just slipway
Cuz the lessons that you've learned you could of never known before
And now the tides of life have ripped her off your shores
And now she searches far and wide but only if she knew
That the one that shes searched for always has been you
Chorus
Bridge
And she said (8x)
I searched the world for you as you waited on my door step all along (What have you got to lose now) (4 x)
I searched the world for you as you waited on my door step all along
