Where are you now?
Feeling small.
Can?t live without it?
You call this your best?
I made my life a mess.
And everyone but you sees it.
What a fool.
What are you gonna do,
make more excuses?
Why don?t you tie it off?
Hang myself?
End your pathetic little life
What is your life worth now?
Is this what you pictured for yourself?
Do you understand anything?
You?re not there yet.
You?re not anywher...
They told me to run
But just how far
Can I go wearing the black mask of fear?
The hate in my eyes always gives me away
The tension building slowly
Now I've lost everything I had in you
Nothing we shared means a thing
Without you close to me
I can't live without you
Breaking the silence of the night
Can't you hear me screaming?
I look for your face in the neon light
You never answer me
There's ...
You think you?re smart, inventive
because you?ve figured out my game?
Pride is a handy substitute,
when you?ve got only yourself to blame.
All my dreams I?ve realized while you . . . were indisposed.
While you?ve spent eighteen years watching TV,
I?ve watched my fortune grow.
Here I am?I?m finally on the outside and
You?re nowhere near where I?ve been
I?ve got you where I want you . . . at las...
I walk around in circles, up all night.
I wish there was something in my life
that turned out right.
I'm waiting here for reasons that used to
be clear.
What I thought I needed so bad was always
here...
When Im lost... I find a way.
I hear voices. I feel them surround me,
pull me from the edge.
I close my eyes and...
my luck keeps holding strong,
even when the boot comes down.
Waiting for the revolution but there's
no one around except the...
hands out of nowhere, saving me again
There's always something there watching out for me,
If I'm suffocating it gives me air.
Finally now remember,
but ...
Culture hostage.
I?m writhing in the cold grasp of justice,
as she turns away.
Blind is she supposed to be but,
someone took a razor to her mask.
Rusted now the scales you hold,
the balance tipped by the weight of gold.
When will it end?
When will it ever end?
The judgment man holds my fate,
as I beg forgiveness with the
plastic smile of a candidate.
They take for granted that I?m out of my mi...
I gotta have it,
gotta drink the high life.
I'll buy a new suit, black skinny necktie.
I'll mingle with elite and imitate
and they'll never even get it 'till I hit 'em.
I've got no fear 'cause I've weathered the breakdown'
San Quentin the edge of the big Town.
I'm a man of the people,
in the home of the brave, and I'm no mans slave.
Because I'm free,
I deserve everything I can get.
I'm America...
She said, ?Baby, where you been?
Why?d you have to leave me?
I?m on the other side . . . just looking in.?
I?ve been so high; I climbed to the mountaintop,
looked at myself and . . .
I?d tell you anything you want to hear.
And I?d desert you when I?m through.
I?d say anything because true love
don?t mean a thing to a man, who?s not a man, but a fool.
Look at me
You?re a model of efficiency.
I?...
I still have questions with no answers.
I?m alive . . . but I?m not living.
I don?t have much time left . . . I just know this:
I?ve lived a violent life.
I might as well be dead.
I just want to sleep forever
and forget . . .
It?s more than physical, love unconditional.
Everything else is like a Band-Aid.
Everything will be allright.
So you cover your bleeding wounds,
so the dogs won?t smell y...
Lost my faith in humanity
and I don?t trust in society
I?m numb, cold, ready.
No one else dies today . . .
What did you do?
I don?t remember . . .
Murderer
They say I?m a murderer
God must be dead because I?m still free.
No religion holds me . . . am I the killer?
No one else dies today . . .
What did you do?
I?m the revenger,
Murderer
No I?m the revenger
Murderer
No I?m the . . . black hand o...
Back streets . . . oh hell,
back where I started from
there?s not a thing . . . but you.
When they took you, when they took you from me and left you bleeding on that concrete floor.
One man?s obsession is another man?s trash,
and Mary was more than a whore.
And every day I breathe I remember more.
I?ve become something you wouldn?t believe
I?ve got this number burned in my brain,
a walking nig...
Last time, missed my chance but never again.
The further away you slip, the more I?ll dig in.
All things come around again
and this time I?ll be ready and waiting.
You can?t imagine dedication
that I now possess.
There?s no one left to save you.
Where you run I will follow.
I?ll step by step re-arrange you.
There?s nowhere to hide.
You?ll never see me coming but
you?ll feel the fear from my sh...
Imagine if you will, what it means . . .
this worthless life.
Tried my best to the scratch the surface
got bloody broken fingernails.
Convincing stories of achievement, lies.
All expectations smashed,
never could comply.
Generations come and go.
And what will I be,
the failure they see here?
Now, I can?t remember
All the signs say go
Would I surrender?
To try to save your soul?
I can?t remembe...
Wonder where'd the time go?
There it was, gone in the blink of an eye.
See how much life is left
staring back in my face?
But know I know it clear as,
clear as a window.
Never thought this day would come,
I never thought I'd see
half my life is gone.
Thought I'd never live to see...
Never thought this day would come...
I never thought I'd see half my life is gone
Thought I'd never live to be.....
