1, 2, demonstrate Young kids in disbelief Old kids trying to find relief All kids just trying to eat Trying to survive, trying to be Something more than the status quo So what we're a little radical A little off keel animals Give them something, an antidote Why am I going insane I got an attitude and some brains Hard times came our way The warzone was Avenue A All walks, all ways of life We balked, put up a fight Saw trouble, some rolled the dice Some fell but never gave in right Who rose up from the depths The generation they branded X This generation now brands the next And we're all still mentally vexed Sick of your talk, sick of your lies Sick of it all and ready to fight We break down walls just to spite Those that hate when we unite Rise above, rise above That we did, we rose above Some just can't hate enough We turned the hate into something that we love 1, 2, infiltrate Who said we're a minor threat This is religion without the debt The keepers of the faith you left There's still a war out here and inside my head

As I watch the clock My whole heart starts to drop Times ticking away It doesn't stop It never stops On that mission again Leaving behind what matters the most The tears cloud my vision I pretend to be fine but that's a joke Inside I'm torn to shreds Before I fly high I numb the head It's part nerves part excitement part dread Wish I could tell you something different instead It's bittersweet, I'm off balance My choice hangs in the balance I love the feeling, the challenge It's bittersweet, I'm off balance My choice hangs in the balance I love the feeling, the challenge But I love them more Time to punch the clock The cycle never stops I'm feeling pressure to please To appease all sides and me Don't get me wrong Don't misunderstand I love my work It's my passion I take nothing for granted Not a thing Nothing It's bittersweet, I'm off balance My choice hangs in the balance I love the feeling, the challenge But I love them more As the long hand marks the minutes on the clock That goes tic then tock My soul is aching My heart is breaking It's bittersweet, I'm off balance My choice hangs in the balance I love the feeling, the challenge But I love them more It's bittersweet, I'm off balance My choice hangs in the balance I love the feeling, the challenge But I need them more I need it all To fulfil the call I need balance Balance

Black n' Blue! Black n' Blue! They'd been talking us down for so long I almost started to believe them all Yeah, I know we've done some wrong We've done some right too, life goes on The self-righteous say, "You're far gone." Well I'd like to say, "You're dead wrong." You don't know us, or what we've become Or what we will be, so mind your tongue You could be staring down the barrel of a gun Instead you're listening to words from verse and song It's not tough-talk, it's evolution (What!) It's a Black n' Blue revolution (Go!) I'm in all black (like Cash!) I'm ready Got my blue cap on (Steady!) Lemme take this wild ride in stride I'm in all black (like Cash!) I'm ready Got my blue cap on (Steady!) Lemme take this crazy ride in stride Some never made it out alive I do this for them, with pride For the Black, the Blue My brothers, the crew For the Black, the Blue The lost brothers, the crew For the Black, the Blue My brothers, the crew For the Black, for the Blue The lost brothers, the crew Doc Marten stomp! I do this for them I do this for you I do this for them, I do this for you I do this for the Black and the Blue I do this for them (Now who's all with me?) I do this for you (Who's all with me?) (Who's all with me, who's all with me?) I do this for the Black and the Blue (Who's all with me, who's all with me?)

What I'm made of is hard to say The impressions and scars they stay I hated confession so to god I prayed Not to the man in the cloth, no way I was lost I was lost, okay We're all lost 'til we find our way We pay the cost 'til we find that place Find that shelter, find that escape I am made of what you are made of I'm just as fucked up as all of us But oh well I hate self pity so I'll take the blame I came to the city to stake my claim It was gritty then far from tame I was itty bitty man, hard was the way We learned, discard all pain We earned and fought our way To where we are where we are today It wasn't easy but it's part of me I am made of what you are made of I am made of what you are made of All my flaws All my scars Some are mine Some are yours My make-up It's just It's just like yours You and I we are different from them Can't break us We're built to endure But the cost is the loss of innocence Now I wake up to eyes that are so pure, so pure My DNA

Everybody wants to be Part of that old regime I get it, I felt that same way too But here's my point of view Who the fuck cares? More importantly who's still here The proof's all around you Respect the old but break new ground too The true school The true school Respect the old ways but it's a new day There's one school Give respect where it's due I remember when I found you Brought to life by the sounds of disgrace A lost kid with a chip on my shoulder No direction, I had no peace You taught me, you schooled me To keep my mind sharp, live at my own pace I give respect to those who built this And the new kids that remind me what this means The true school The true school The true school Respect the old ways but it's a new day There's one school Show respect to the ones that see it through There's just one There's just one There's just one The true school There's just one There's just one There's just one There's one school The true school

I've never rested on my laurels I can't rest, can't rest We're being tested in this age of quarrel It's all a test, life's a test My roots are steeped in the past But the future, it's so vast There's a task I must grasp It's right in front of me, I can't let it pass We belong to the here and now We belong to the here and now We belong, we belong, we belong, we belong We belong to the here and now The here and now Seize the moment or cease to exist Sounds dramatic, no I am a realist I believe in destiny yes I believe hard work is the catalyst The past is the past The nostalgia will always last We can stay there and bask Or take this day before it comes to pass We belong to the here and now We belong to the here and now We belong, we belong, we belong, we belong We belong to the here and now The here and now I can't live in the past tense I can't see what the future will bring All I have is this moment Right now We belong, we belong, we belong, we belong We belong to the here and now The here and now

Your stories mean nothing to me I wasn't there, why should I be? So concerned with a life I didn't lead You keep your glory, I'll just be me My struggles will never compare To all of yours and I don't care Your troubles are not my affair Mine aren't yours, let's keep it there Those streets sound gritty and rough I want for nothing, I'm not that tough I can't relate so there's nothing to discuss Your image is great, the rest sucks It all means nothing It means nothing to me Nothing to me I believe in nothing I'm just a punk kid Can't you see? I don't tell these stories for the glory I never did, son, but don't you worry You can shut it off, shut it off and not listen I'll be shoving off, shoving off another mission Not to teach, but to reach those who will listen I don't preach, I just speak on how we were living You don't have to live another's life to learn from it You don't have to do anything and you'll earn nothing It all means something It means something to me Something to me I believe in something I'm just a hardened man But I believe In something I believe In something You're nothing to me

1 2 3 4 So much drama So much hate In this world But I feel safe I have a shield I feel great My coat of arms in place My honor My family's trust My actions Need not be discussed See I walk with my head up Some talk but their words don't add up We are here today And we'll be here tomorrow I don't entertain negativity We are here to stay And you'll be gone tomorrow I've come a long way with positivity All day PMA So much envy So much hate In this world But I feel safe I'm covered I feel great My coat of arms in place You can't con or infiltrate You can't harm or penetrate Arm in arm We stand with grace We stand with grace! We are here today And we'll be here tomorrow I don't entertain negativity We are here to stay And you'll be gone tomorrow I've come a long way with positivity We are here to stay And you'll be gone tomorrow My armor's in place

I know these times won't last I watch every move, it goes so fast Before you know it the boy is a man Let me enjoy it as much as I can There he is my beacon of light Like his mother they shine so bright Like his mother they gave me life Give me life So guide me in, guide me in, guide me in I survived those treacherous seas I stayed alive but didn't always believe That I deserve what I have in front of me There are no words but I have to speak No nouns, no verbs describe the deep Ocean of feelings inscribed in me So guide me in, guide me in, guide me in Please guide me in, guide me in, guide me in I see the light I'm heading towards you The spirits say the answer's right before you There's my beacon of light I see the light I'm heading for you May all the days be as bright For my beacons of light

Dig deep for the strength that you seek Dig deep, dig deep Dig deep for the strength that you seek Dig deep, dig deep Dig deep for the strength that you seek, it's there Dig deep, dig deep Turn any weakness, all your defeats, the despair Into fuel, dig deep We've all had our heads under the water We been down, almost drowned We've all felt the dread and played the martyr Somehow we stood our ground Born strong, born to become Who we are, what we are, as one As one, how we grow will determine The outcome means how strong we are Have heart, have faith, and give what it takes We all fall, we all fall The ones that rise with heart can change it all Can't stop, won't stop Got to decide to commit to find the strength You have, within! It's there to take, you've gotta get up and give it your all Nothing can stop us now! Don't you dwell on the pain We've all felt that pain Just think about what it means To be born strong again Born strong, born to become Who we are, what we are, as one As one, how we grow will determine The outcome means how strong Born strong, born to become Who we are, what we are, as one As one, how we grow will determine The outcome means how strong we are

I manifest in many ways I infect, cause misery I'm lurking And they won't like what they see I'm working To make sure you'll never be As comfortable as you'd like to be Life's wonderful Wouldn't you like to see Oh what a pity I'm here What a pity but I've always been here I'll turn off your bright light Turn day to night If you let me No you can't break my spirit I won't let you Go but don't take my spirit That's what drives me Guess we're at it again You're so combative my friend After all we've been through Fall after fall, I never left you Maybe I didn't pick you up But I was there, oh yeah Maybe I didn't give a fuck But I'm still here while your soul is bare I'll turn off your bright light Turn day to night If you let me I'll make sure you get by When you're inside Don't forget me No I'm not gonna let you No you can't break my spirit I won't let you Go but don't take my spirit That's what drives me No you can't break my spirit I won't let you Go but don't take my spirit That's what drives me

Muchas palabras sin acción Computadoras sin emoción Vive tu vida, sal del rincón Mide tus palabras sin precaución Existir no es vivir Mis palabras yo las vivo sí Viven hablando de otros sin saber De lo que hablan, celosos, un día van a aprender Si que ladran perros, pero no muerden Mis palabras, huesos que aguantan mi piel Mi corazón me lleva, mis manos son de piedra En esta selva palabras solas no valen Y las mías son de sinceridad No es un cuento, solo es la verdad, es la verdad Existir no es vivir Mis palabras yo las vivo sí Mis palabras yo las vivo sí

I see your face when you look at me I feel embarrassed, ashamed for you not me It's disgraceful you can't help to be What they taught you to be, your own worst enemy No need to tell me why I know the answer The answer You think you're dignified But you're a cancer A cancer that never dies All I see is hatred All I feel is empty for you In the grand scheme I'm so proud to be Different than he or she Different from him or me In the grand scheme That's what it's supposed to be No judgment From birth there's judgment You're a disease There's no cure to be seen I see your face when you look at me I feel embarrassed ashamed for you not me It's disgraceful but you can't help to be What they taught you to be, your own worst enemy No need to tell me why I know the answer The answer You think you're dignified But you're a cancer That never fucking dies
