Excuse me son excuse me I gotta ask you somethin
Where you walkin to lookin so aggressive?
Do You know where you're at?
Why you walkin fast?
You know why I stopped you
Open up the bag
I'm headin to class I just got off the train
I'm only walkin fast cuz I can't be late
I got books in my bag and change in my pockets
And how am I aggressive I haven't done nothin
Officer please it's the 5th time this week
I dont even smoke, I got nothin on me
I'm gonna fail this class man fuckin let me leave
Yea I got an attitude cause you don't respect me
You better not get loud cause there will be a problem
people that live here do not want you around em
I better not see your stupid ass again
Cause I swear next time there'll be a different end
Walk a different way and we won't have to do this
Dress a little nicer and it'll all be cool man
pull your pants up you look like a damn fool
its just my job I don't make the rules
Maybe now you see the shit we gotta deal with
Fuckin pigs are on our backs
and we're just supposed to be cool with that?
My complaints seem minor when compared to others but all goes back to their need for power
Trust me I wish i could say the word to make em all drop
to strip them of their power
to make this shit stop
they wonder I can’t trust a motherfucka in blue
They say they serve and protect but they'll put a bullet in you

Manos De Oro

Came into it expecting nothing
But developed a hunger like no other
To improve
To enhance
To connect with the weight in my hands
Manos De Oro
Poder Y Fuerza
Manos De Oro
No One But Me
Manos De Oro
En mi mente y mi cuerpo
Manos De Oro
You need to push yourself
Push yourself past their limitations
Total control
Total control over the soul & the vessel
You dont want it like I do
Cause I go so much harder than you
Expansion of the mind & of the body
Day in day out wont stop for anybody

Competition of the minds
But in the end its a waste of time
What you learn...Does it matter?
We're only in it to make our pockets fatter
Forced to decide what to do with your life
18 & you better get it right
Conform or fail
The worlds a hammer & you're the nail
Pressure keeps pressing
You're locked in you're stressing
MindCrime that's what they do
Chew you up & only spare a few
When you're done its not over
Pay up or they're comin to get ya
It's a scheme
It's a trap
And You'll grow up just to send your kid back
MindCrime
Forced to decide what to do with your life
18 & you better get it right
Conform or fail
The worlds a hammer & you're the nail
Break The Trend
Educate
Gain knowledge in your own way
Don't fall for it
Don't buy it
Take my word
Or regret it

Used to look for it but now we're sittin back
Waitin for a slip up so we can attack
Nothin gets past no one gets through
words that you spit will fall back onto you
If you got a problem
You know where to find us
Reg48 aint no way around it
Real mothafuckers and we're about that action
Find out for yourself it would be our pleasure
Yeaaaa what's the deal?
You try to speak and start to squeal
This shit is real
And now how do you feel?
Felt compelled to express now look at this mess
wassup?
Talking got you into it
but it won't get you out
bet you wish you used brain before opening your mouth
We're not showing out to prove how tough we think we are
But you showed up and you proved you have no fucking heart
wassup.

Character Arc
03:01
|

Realizing nothing
Cause we're just that
Looking past what I've learned
It rolls off my back
Reaching for a middle ground
Accepting that or the end
Understanding there's no winners here
Cause there was never a game to begin
What Matters
False Self
There's nothing dead or alive
It's just a state of mind
Day in day out we keep trying to attain
Doing everything we can trying to maintain
The character we're given
The one we're fooled into believing
But once you lose yourself
You'll wonder who you tried being
In The Promise of Another Tomorrow
Forced acceptance of our existence
It leads us nowhere
Endless journey
Seeing past the literal
Inches towards the arrival
Drill down
Find out
There's no "I"
Manifest
Facade
Survive
That's the way you come alive

Wishful Thinking
01:47
|

Shape shifting device
Makes your blood turn to ice
Spent so much time blaming you
When it should've been me coming through
Saw that you couldn't help yourself
I could've been there to pull
Pull you out from the shadow before it began to swallow
You're up against yourself
At war in your head
Stealing from the family who gave you bread
I know this isn't you
You're not as ugly as the things it makes you do
But in the end if theres one thing to say
I miss you...Wish it didn't end this way
I've had this attitude for so long
Thinking it's a choice
And I know you chose to start it but not end up this way
So I don't hate you for that
I hate the awareness you lack
Not knowing what you're doing to us
But doing everything to test our love
Look in the mirror & you're hating what you see
Thinking to yourself
What the fuck happened to me?
Shove inside your skin
Have that one drink
Snort it all up
But can you tell me for what?

What if its all a projection?
Fueled by position
Shown to the masses
To decide and determine
What our lives are
Why we live this way
Who we're supposed to be
Because its what they
I don't buy it
I don't want it
I don't need it
Let's stop it
Before you're born they're betting on you (Kill The Construct)
Hoping you come out just right
Because you're something new
Clay to mold, Canvas to paint, Metal to bend, A life to shape
None of us are exempt
But we're not all at fault
Its the ones who aren't conscious of the things we're taught
Escape the box we're spit into
Push against the grain that harms you
Look deep inside cause you know what's right
What makes me a man?
What makes her a woman? (Kill The Construct)
Have you thought about how it means nothing?
Clay to mold, Canvas to paint, Metal to bend, A life to shape
I see a change coming from my peers
Refuse the plan laid out for their years
No longer living within the illusion of power

Wrong Side Of History
02:34
|

Show your colors
You're so proud
Free to express
Shout it loud
What you've been holding back all this time
"My leader says it so why can't I?"
Used to be weary of what others might think
Now the ignorance seeps out & you dont even blink
Not afraid to flaunt it go ahead its what you wanted
You're doin me a favor cause now I dont have to wonder
Expose yourself for everyone to see
Waste of life
You're on the wrong side of history
Now I know its on your tongue
Laughing in private but I want in on the fun
Go ahead
Scream it loud
Or find somewhere quiet and blow your brains out
For those of you who still fake it
Who are too scared to show your inner hatred
Come to terms it's not your world
There's more of us
If there's a hell you'll burn

Force Tactics
01:51

Sometimes you can't reason with 'em
Sometimes you can't speak to them
And sometimes you gotta beat it into them
They never think their actions deserve consequence
They always say that what they said was never meant
Show them its too late
You make them pay for their mistake
It's not mindless violence
it's justified punishment
It'll never stop unless you stop it by force

Indifference & Defiance
03:04
|
|||
I can't connect & I can't relate
I do not understand
I do not desire
But if given respect I will return it & not pay any mind
Focus on myself for myself
Knowing where I stand
Until the end
What defines me & what defines you
Doesn't have to separate us
But when you do those things you do why would I want to be around you?
Common ground is shared
But we're not forced to go there
Go your own way
Stay out of mine
Don't tell me you wished to stay that way or that it was a mistake
Own up to it
You did it for a reason
So rid yourself of the shame
You cannot take it back
So move ahead
Just please spare me the discussion about all your regrets
As for me...
I have it on my hands
Feel it in my soul
Share it with my friends
I'm more than the crosses I carry but i'll never let them go
A sun that won't set
A fire that won't die
There's only one truth I see:
Straight Edge till the death of me
Never lacking certainty in who or what I want to be
