Return

Return to the breath of life and inhale what is seemingly the truth only to taste the beginning which is nothing recognizable to a desensitized pallet that has been ravaged by those in closest proximity to sources of exclusive, elusive and evasive points of relevance that fill the combustible sack of that which is labeled trustworthy causing a rampant, viral spread of deceit that can only be diluted, debunked and destabilized by breathing in the false historical documentation that is also, consciously or subconsciously, regarded as our life-force which, by definition, indicates a forced return to the lie.

#10 - No Class

CHORUS

No class from High Class! Low Class is my class! x 2

VERSE 1

I see the way that I’m ignored. Like some dirt on the floor.

Almighty dollar sent you to the store. You wouldn’t survive if you were poor.

I see your precious spoon of cold. Your money comes from family so old.

You’re all cut from the same mold. How can blue blood be so cold?

BUILD 1

What would you do if I took it away? No cars, No clothes. No getting paid.

You wouldn’t last more than a day. No love. No skills. No accolades.

CHORUS

No class from High Class! Low Class is my class! x 2

VERSE 2

Our paths will never cross. We have no love loss.

All that paper you floss can’t buy the respect that I gotz.

Raised in an elitist mindset. With no reality to offset.

Smug attitude writes a big check. You just can’t cash it.

BUILD 2

Everything you say sounds like question. Everything you wear has to be in fashion.

Everything you love has a price tag to mention. Everything you do has a shallow intention.

CHORUS

No class from High Class! Low Class is my class! x 2

VERSE 3

Just keep your eyes shut. Keep turning your nose up.

You little money-slut. You’re about to get cut.

Don’t want you Richie lifestyle. That’s just not my style.

Don’t need my money in big piles. My worth comes from my trials.

BUILD 3

Living a life of overpriced meals should make you hungry for something real.

Living a life of cash appeal should make you sick and need to heal.

CHORUS

No class from High Class! Low Class is my class! x 4

#09 - Daywalker

Daywalker! Daywalker! Where did you go?

It's only 8. Not even late. You're going to miss the show!

Daywalker! Daywalker! Sleep is overrated.

Stay up with us & stay on the bus. I promise you won't hate it.

Daywalker! Daywalker! How can you stand it so bright?

It hurts our eyes. Let's compromise. Need sunglasses for the light.

Daywalker! Daywalker! I see how you stay so clean.

After 8:30 you don't get dirty with the after-hours scene.

CHORUS

The night time is the right time, when the street lights come on!

I get right when the sunlight is finally gone!

The night time is the right time, cuz I can clear my head!

I gotta fight for our right to party till I’m dead!

Daywalker! Daywalker! Think you're better than me?

With your 9 to 5. You're barely alive. So boring don't you see?

Daywalker! Daywalker! I never been to an early meeting.

By morning light it's hunger we fight. We're too busy eating.

Daywalker! Daywalker! Don't you see the point?

Let's get real, you never will. So we roll on to another joint.

Daywalker! Daywalker! Why won't you evolve?

The night time is the right time, it's not hard to solve.

CHORUS

The night time is the right time, when the street lights come on!

I get right when the sunlight is finally gone!

The night time is the right time, cuz I can clear my head!

I gotta fight for our right to party till I’m dead!

Daywalker! Daywalker! I hate you so much.

Get on my nerves. No purpose you serve. Other than losing touch.

Daywalker! Daywalker! Why do you dress so neat?

Relax a bit. Untuck your shirt. Maybe have a late night treat.

Daywalker! Daywalker! The truth is we're different breeds.

Don't think the same. Don't know our name. Don't have the same needs.

Daywalker! Daywalker! I guess we won't see eye to eye.

That's too bad but I ain't sad. Cuz' I'm chillin' in the night.

The night time is the right time, when the street lights come on!

I get right when the sunlight is finally gone!

The night time is the right time, cuz I can clear my head!

I gotta fight for our right to party till I’m dead! REPEAT

#08 - Own Up

Actions are louder than words

But when you mess up; own up

Don’t just run and hide

Thinking it’s safer inside

There ain’t no place you can go

That’ll keep me from thinking you should go

Cuz

Only a snitch (YOU!) would leave the mess they made

Only a punk (YOU!) would turn their back on the betrayed

Only a chump (YOU!) would allow their debt to go unpaid

Punk living to evade

CHORUS

Own UP!

It’ll just keep building

Own UP!

Till you can’t breathe

Own UP!

You better start telling

Own UP!

Or get away from me

VERSE 2

I made mistakes before

Like sleeping in the doors

But I stood my ground

Something you think is profound

Cuz’

Only a fool (YOU!) would let her gain control

Only a dog (YOU!) would beg for food in his bowl

Only a child (YOU!) would give up on the goal

Keep it up, man and lose your soul

CHORUS

Own UP!

It’ll just keep building

Own UP!

Till you can’t breathe

Own UP!

You better start telling

Own UP!

Or get away from me

CHANGE UP

BREAKDOWN

(Spoken)

I know its hard being the one at fault

Everybody looking down at you like you are the devil himself

But you have to rise up to the situation

Cuz if you don't, no one else will

And it will fester and grow, becoming a monster

That will eat at you

and eat at you...and eat at you...and eat at you...and eat at you...and eat at you...and eat at you

... until there's nothing left!

POWER UP

... until there's nothing left!

LOUDER

... until there's nothing left!

LOUDER

... until there's nothing left!

LOUDER

There's nothing leeeeeeeft!

HARD

Run little baby Run

Run little baby Run

Run little baby Run little baby Run little baby Ruuuuuuuun

VERSE 3

Run little baby , away from your past

Stupid little baby , you're never gonna last

I'll hit you little baby , throw you out with the trash

Spineless little baby , time for you to pass

Only a coward (YOU!) would start and not finish

Only a clown (YOU!) would be so foolish

Only a sucker (YOU!) would refuse to nourish

Plague on society about to feel my fist

CHORUS

Own UP!

It’ll just keep building

Own UP!

Till you can’t breathe

Own UP!

You better start telling

Own UP!

Or get away from me

...get away from me

...get away from me

...get away from me

...get away from me

#07 - Beast of Burden

BEAST of BURDEN

There you are, standing tall against all odds.

There you are, leading the way by example.

There you are, proving everyone wrong.

There you are a martyr ready to be trampled.

There you are, in the mix, leading the charge.

There you are, believing in your own greatness.

There you are, and they said you wouldn’t go far.

There you are. If only your mama could see this!

There you are, loading up because you can take it.

There you are, saving me from myself.

There you are, so righteous that you’re naked.

There you are, alone in your private hell.

There you are, a dog following its master.

There you are, an ass carrying all the weight.

There you are, becoming a slave faster.

There you are. Why would you choose this fate?

Man was made to rule this rock and you are breaking the deal.

Don’t you see the more power you got the more you’ll have to kneel?

Do you have to be a Beast of Burden? Can’t you see you’re hurting?

You won’t last long as a Beast of Burden. They’re gonna close the curtain.

Pride is useless when you’re a Beast of Burden. Of that I’m certain.

A slave for power is nothing but a Beast of Burden.

A Beast of Burden

A Beast of Burden

Do not care how far you flew to close another deal.

Do not care about the size of your gas-suckin' machine.

Do not care that all you have, you steal.

Do not care if you think you steal the scene.

Do not care about those rocks on your fingers.

Do not care because you got rocks in your head.

Do not care about the value that you bring here.

Do not care because you’ve never been lead.

Do not care one little, itty, bitty, bit.

Do not care and I barely even notice.

Do not care and it’s causing you fits.

Do not care even though I wrote this.

Do not care. Quit pretending that you do.

Do not care and I’m not falling for your act.

Do not care. There’s nothing less important than you.

Do not care. Raised yourself on others backs.

Man was made to rule this rock and you are breaking the deal.

Don’t you see the more power you got the more you’ll have to kneel?

Do you have to be a Beast of Burden? Can’t you see you’re hurting?

You won’t last long as a Beast of Burden. They’re gonna close the curtain.

Pride is useless when you’re a Beast of Burden. Of that I’m certain.

A slave for power is nothing but a Beast of Burden.

A Beast of Burden

A Beast of Burden

What’s it for? What’s your motive? What’s your plan?

What’s it for? How far you think you can take this?

What’s it for? Did you want to be the man?

What’s it for? This path only leads to the abyss.

What’s it for? Ambition can make you lose control.

What’s it for? Eyes on the prize can make you blind.

What’s it for? Climbing ladders can put you in a hole.

What’s it for? Reaching for stars leaves reality behind.

What’s it for? Why drive yourself to the edge?

What’s it for? Just to prove yourself to whom?

What’s it for? You just might end up on a ledge.

What’s it for? Or dangling from a noose.

What’s it for? Not getting respect or admiration.

What’s it for? Everyone thinks you suck!

What’s it for? You’re dedication to your burden?

What’s it for? You’re a beast that’s out of luck!

Man was made to rule this rock and you are breaking the deal.

Don’t you see the more power you got the more you’ll have to kneel?

Do you have to be a Beast of Burden? Can’t you see you’re hurting?

You won’t last long as a Beast of Burden. They’re gonna close the curtain.

Pride is useless when you’re a Beast of Burden. Of that I’m certain.

A slave for power is nothing but a Beast of Burden.

#06 - Never Learned to Read

VERSE 1

I have a confession. Might want to sit down.

What you been guessing, I’m ready to tell you now.

When I went school I skipped class from day one.

Wanted to be cool and have a little fun.

Never studied for a test. Never opened a book.

Never gave a care less. Never gave a second look.

BUILD UP

Never learned biology. Never learned history

Never learned chemistry. Never learned geometry.

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

CHORUS

I never learned to read! Stupidest sucka you’ll ever meet.

I never learned to read! Make more money than your family tree.

I never learned to read! My momma writes my rhymes.

I never learned to read! And repeats them back to me.

VERSE 2

So now you know my secret. No turning back now.

You don’t have to keep it. Doesn’t matter anyhow.

Cause I just realized That I’m a celebrity.

Rock Star supersized A pimp don’t need your pity.

Never stand in a line Never open my own door.

Never arrive on time Never stop getting more.

BUILD UP

Never learned biology. Never learned history

Never learned chemistry. Never learned geometry.

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

VERSE 3

So here I stand Illiterate and rich

You’re working for the man Feeling like a snitch

I cheated my way thru life Didn’t take the beaten path

I was getting by; You were studying math

Never played by the rules Never followed the norm

Never stepped foot in a school Never once did I conform

BUILD UP

Never learned biology. Never learned history

Never learned chemistry. Never learned geometry.

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

#05 - The Shortcut

There was a little boy who never played with his toys

Watching TV was his only reality

He saw mansions, stars and super cars

Wanting that bling, he decided to sing

Couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket; he said “Screw it”

I’ll fake it till I make it; I’ll shake it till I take it

How hard to could it be?

How hard to could it be?

So the little retard stole mom’s credit card

And began the imitation of what he saw on television

Bought him some gear, put some ice in his ear

Now he was ready to jump steady

Damn you’re a fool thinking you can rule

Without paying the price to get a slice

You reap what you sow, didn’t you know?

You ain’t planted zip; so what you gonna get?

Take the shortcut to the top; let me know how it is

You never, never, never, never, never gonna stop; this is showbiz!

Well whaddya know! Our boy was brought to the show

He caught the eye of a super agent guy

“I’ve been watching you a while and I like your style”

“I got an idea or 2 to rich off of you”

“Can you sing?” “Can you act?” “Can you do a little dance?”

“Is there an instrument you play?” “Don’t matter anyway”

“I’m gonna make you a star, we’re going to go far”

“Just listen to me and pay my modest fee”

So the kid and this demon, they started scheming

They came up with a plan to make him the man

“In order for you to blow up, all you need to do is show up…”

“On one of them reality joints; then you can make your point”

Call up MTV; let’s start the insanity

Show your neck! Show your butt! Let them know who’s the biggest nut!

Disgrace your family and your name! All for the sake of your precious fame!

You sold your body; you sold your soul; all you had to do is lose control

Take the shortcut to the top; let me know how it is

You never, never, never, never, never gonna stop; this is showbiz!

Congratulations! He finally won! Now he’s the nation’s favorite son

Has all the stuff he wants and all the jewels he can flaunt

The demon made him a god all based on a façade

When will it end? No end in sight. This party’s gonna last all night

Give him more! Give it to him now! Trying to maintain; he don’t know how

So many chemicals go up his nose; so many diseases come with them throw’s

God bless America, so they say; they’ll let you dance right into your grave

Now comes the favorite part of the song; here’s where things start to go wrong

The peak has been hit; they see he’s counterfeit

He ain’t worth zip; everybody knows it

Drugs made his voice quit; the girlies had to split

The fame wasn’t legit; now he’s having a fit

Now what you gonna do? Your game is thru!

Mind and body has been abused; your soul has too

You wanted this remember? When you were a little pretender?

You lit the wrong fuse! Now I’m laughing at you!

Take the shortcut to the top; let me know how it is

You never, never, never, never, never gonna stop; this is showbiz!

Take the shortcut to the top; let me know how it is

You never, never, never, never, never gonna stop; this is showbiz!
