No justice And peace is purely fiction There's a war on the streets And it seems its just beginning The body count rises and the killers walk free A game of favorites is all I see Open season on every minority Being hunted down by the majority Blatant abuse of power excessive use of force We need to take action or it'll just get worse Since when did a darker shade earn me a grave? Closed casket for every crooked cop An eye for an eye and a shot for a shot Your badge isn't a license to kill And the next time you do your blood will be the one that's spilled. How'd a man with his hands up earn a full clip? No more justification, done putting up with this bullshit

Weak minded men whose names hold no weight Waiting for the powers that be to mold their fate False flagged freedom Pollute the minds of the frail Your 9 to 5 might as well be a jail Turn a blind eye to the hands in your pockets Guiding you like sheep while you do nothing to stop it Suburban slaves Suburban slaves to dead presidents Forced to be what's expected of me Just a face in the crowd Stripped of individuality Force fed bullshit from the day that we're born "It'll all be okay" "Just live to fight another day" Won't sit back and do as I'm told Gotta fight for me and mine in a world this cold Forced to be what's expected of me Won't be a slave to society

Disgraced 02:22
Choked by the hand of God Gasping for air Grit my teeth, bite my tongue Can't bear the sight of what I've become Grab the world by the throat and spit in its face Disgraced Trapped in my own mind My inner demons can't be confined Open the coffin Lay me to sleep Erase my existence Put me six feet deep Left to die in the depths of my mind Love is just pain in disguise Welcome death like an old friend

Desire 03:02
Would have spent eternity in hell For a little bit of a space in your heart There's no room for me And there won't be, but still I burn Burning desire, desiring your touch What I had to offer it was never enough Lost and alone I lost myself in your eyes Can't even describe how hard I tried So can you really blame me for cutting the ties? You were never down for me so dont act surprised Now I'm going through the motions just to pass the days And even my reflection seems to look the other way Binded by lust No love to be found Should have known it wouldn't be different this time around Never good enough (not even close) Strung me on like a puppet then you cut the rope Now I don't know how to love anymore Reached out to the heavens and God shut the doors I was never enough
5.
Repent 02:30
Born sinner, surrounded by shame No faith to cling to The heavens have fallen and hell is on earth Each day is a punishment World ruled by religion Every days a war on what to be believe Outcasted 'cause we don't share your beliefs You kneel and pray for a better day Well, kneel and pray Wash your hands of your sins But it won't do a thing When your time comes You won't hear angels sing Nothing waiting but dirt Guess those prayers don't work No life after death Repent
6.
Loose End 01:36
If you're aiming for me, you better aim for the head Because its kill or be killed And I'm still seeing red I showed you mercy Won't make that mistake again Burning the bridge and tying the loose end Loyal to no one but yourself Liars tongue, nothing but a snake I thought I told you, steer clear for your own sake Dead to me
7.
Survival 03:02
Born into a world of pain Only the cold at heart remain No remorse for the weak Only the strong survive on the street Won't be bound by the moral code of a man who chose live on his knees Gotta fight to survive In a world where right is wrong and wrong is right No mercy for those in my way Its still kill or be killed at the end of the day And I won't be the one to fall on my own sword No room for fakes and no time to see the pity in your eyes Don't need your sympathy so don't even it try it And if its your life or mine I'll do whatever it takes to stay alive But I'm not afraid to die So I'll fight tooth and nail to stay alive SURVIVAL
