Unjust 03:21
Unjust Because I know what I heard and I know what I seen, allegiance to the man, fuck your beliefs, No reason, no regret, no going too far, what's the definition of who you are... Delve deep into numbers just people under threat, plead wise to their bargains give up self-respect, Temptation to meet targets to fulfill the vision, no room for maneuver on indecision... Corrupt Mistrust Constructed a state that violates us, Give up, Lay down Hands up to bureaucrats and forgot your rights... Fuck you! This leads us to, your endless lust for power, hide behind the red tape Because your just a fuckin coward You throw the book and lives you break, and feed us numbers you know are fake And I fail to see how you can sleep, devoid of emotions as you crush families, how thin the line that you have drawn, that you can even tell right from wrong... You throw and throw and throw your shit, hoping that something will stick, The hidden hand..violates us Know what I heard and what I have seen walking around looking mean, fear is the climate you created The role in which you play is one that shoulders trust ... Why is it your actions are... Unjust Broken trust Unjust

Deceit 03:44
Deceit Sometimes I wish I was blinded by the things that I've seen because the world's been stripped of decency, Want us to vote so their visions can come into play I wish that one would do the things they say, Broken promises to folk like you and me... If I cut you now? Would you bleed? I feel the noose so tight at the end of the rope... Now choke I'm searching for, been searching for... Truth that feeble minds will not endure, Blinded by what they choose not to see? Truth is lost in...deceit... Corrupted schemes and corporations greed trading lives ..like commodities exist to prosper till plans go bust? That's why we don't trust Next a thought for our judicial system... lie in wait to turn men into victims Bleed us dry until we're broke... then they watch us choke Then they watch us choke Lives go up in smoke and they watch us choke Lives go up in smoke Truth shrouded by...deceit Been imprisoned by capitalism the ones who built the path become the victims Legal system that's so badly broke..bleeding us dry...they tighten the rope..and we choke We feel the rope, and we choke ...

Bad Decisions Forced to the edge Forced back to the edge of life mother fucker Forced to the edge Oooh, shit mother fucker...Forced back to the edge of life...I shudder (Till I) Chosen my path to the end I chosen... I break the bonds, the chains that choke till the end... (Learned) from what I seen Who I've been Wounds still bleed ...till the end Another man fall off the side.. But till the day I die, I chose life.. And on the quest through life, I finally found my mission... And on the way, I made some bad Decisions... I stay true to myself the man that I built has taken form... And with my head held high ...I stand strong. Choices..no need to pretend, some burned bridges and I can't make amends, Choices shape boundaries too... Won't step over these lines STAY TRUE! No hate can force us to flake, We are blessed for life, so we build we don't take, Everything we have is something that we make, Trust me when I say, We don't want none of your cake Ignorance thrives, destroys many lives, Rich people won't ever feel our vibes, Prepared for the worst, Won't ever see us cry, Aim for the best Climb till we're up high

The Price 02:27
The Price As I raise myself from the pit of serpents Still ask myself..was it worth it? Did I make another bad decision? Questioning my own convictions Was I wrong to stand and fight? And give up my human rights? Protect myself..was that a crime? Pressure builds all the time, am I a victim of my own crime? Am I guilty by design? Feels like I'm already doing time Refuse to fall... I will fight... Won't give up...my human rights Is this the sum of all my worth? Discarded face down in the dirt? I'm not guilty by design Won't be a victim of your crime No guarantees freedom has a price No guarantees freedom has a price

Numbers Game 03:50
Numbers Game Once your in No way out Here's your chance to be one with the modern world's elite No longer push you round They'll soon grovel at your feet and once the in the streets will be paved ... the price? Just your small human soul Just one thing...morality removed from life Their not men..just sequences fall in line... Fall in line! The numbers game, the rules are pretty simple & plain..tie all loose ends up and up again Don't question why as you'll start from go again... just keep the numbers adding up and sherk the blame A simple tip? To make it to the top? Set those sights and keep them locked, Keep it real simple and add him to the top because the sands of time ain't never gonna stop... Try all you can they won't stop, Once your names in the system it never gets dropped, Make up your mind real quick. As they'll take and they'll take all of your shit... And they'll scream beg repentance... Swallow your pride to reduce your sentence. Beg for repentance Live your life sentence... Now! Now you waste your life just thinking, how you got in and you'll never get out Now you waste your life just thinking how you got in and you'll never get out Trapped inside this cage with no walls, don't know how I got in, but I'll never get out...

Somewhere in Between Cast my soul into the dirt But I won't do the devil's work Impeded pathways ahead of me... Voices mixing truth and deceit Walls have been built, not all from concrete Some shackles are steel and some we can't see... Is this the way that scriptures for seen? Is this hell or a place between Demons they arise, search for souls in the dark of night Soldiers of the night, come through in numbers no escape You scream out to God, what were you in visioning? That today would be the day that's he'd be listening? Your souls what they seek, constrict like serpents, harming the flesh to fulfill the purpose Life or death? Could it be? Somewhere in between? Demons awaken and souls are forsaken Your souls is light, you have the heart, tell yourself to carry on! To carry on! The stage is set as they draw near, closer the stench, thrive off your fear, posing as men? Adorn robes or plain clothes..sentence you now destined to burn Burn and burn and burn and burn Burn up your hopes burn up your dreams.... Release your fucking screams Demons Demons Demons Demons
