Taking it back New York Hardcore Agnostic Front Let's go!
Take me there, take me back To before my tomorrows died To when it was so real and true To when it was my only care- Take me back! Take me there to when it started Take me back to when we ran it
Just take me, just take me, Just take me, take me back! This is real, this is pure Go!
Take me, take me back!
Cro-Mags, Warzone, Murphy's Law Agnostic Front, Sick of it All CBGB's where it all began The music, the lifestyle we represent Demonstrate your style!
Toppling, smashing - The statues go crashing And all of your ancient ideals Your morals we question Put them to testing Rules broken you thought were of steel Scrupleless children We number in millions Won't stand for any more of your crummy deals
(Chorus:) Growing concern Priests are just rapists Who worship the dollar Get hardons from girls at the altar When in confession Laugh at your depression We pay for their Sins when they falter
(Chorus)
Teachers who profess We'll make them confess They've taught us not wisdom, but lies Burning their textbooks and archaic outlooks In society's funeral pyre Senators gain weight as the poor deflate Starve - as they vote themselves raises Finger on button, a nuclear glutton Governing rats caught in mazes Parents who have raised us Have not taught but crazed us Priests who confessed us Have not cured but depressed us We'll turn and ignore as we head for the door Can't take no more
Time will come when we will pay There'll be no choice for you to take World War III won't be a fake You just can't look the other way
(Chorus:) Time will come and time will go You'll learn to live and learn to fight You'll fight for freedom and fight to die But you'll never know the reason why Killing people for their greedness But unaware of the evilness Once you're dead there'll be no sorrow Another one will come to follow
They told me when I was young that I would change What I once saw would become like everything else The same - The open eyes of youth would close down just to cracks I would - never again see the real world Just like the rest, I'd turn my back I told them once when I was young That it was too late for me to change I couldn't ignore the facts The reality that brought this incredible pain
(Chorus:) Scars within my flesh and soul Stayed just for show Seeing, I felt and saw things Others could never know They tell me now to turn my head So that I may rest at peace But ignoring the things that I know Would be living a life of deceit The perversion of love and the power of hate Lie deep inside my head I can't turn to ignorance - The life of the wordly blind
Killing's my business and business is fine Money's my interest, life isn't kind You know you can run but there's nowhere to hide Payback's a bitch boy Now you're gonna die Hand me the contract, I've got no remorse The more cash I get, the bloodier the worst You claimed their way out, life is up in flames How 'bout doin' it my way Beheaded or slain
(Chorus:) Hanging or lethal injection Gas chamber - take a last breath Firing squad, electrocute, we'll execute! More than one face of death Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out A soldier of fortune, I'll wipe 'em all out Having no home, I have no shame I'll take a life, another victim in pain Try turning the tables or make it a frame You can't snuff me out Because you're my game You know you're my target Your time stands still But no job's too tough I love to kill
You could never silence this voice We've been opressed still we destroy Everything thrown in our face We found the truth and we still believe
Another voice, back again with a vengeance Sworn to brotherhood since the days of my youth My blood is my pride, my voice speaks the truth There's no holding me back, there's nothing you can do
Another voice Voice of the forgotten One Voice Voice of the streets
One voice, 20 years of blood and loyalty Repping NYHC the way it ought to be Loyal to the scene, this is our voice I never gave in, my life is my choice
If you want to stand for something You better stand tall and proud Don't try to walk the fence or play both sides Be ready to fight when they look you in the eye
You want to make a commitment? A commitment, it's for life Don't try to make a commitment unless it's for life
Everyone's got a flag to wave Until they are called on their beliefs All I'm saying is you better back it up When you come face to face with reality
When I make a commitment I stay true to what is right I will never make a commitment unless it's for life You want to make a commitment, a commitment, it's for life I will never make a commitment unless it's for life
Fuck you and everything that you've ever said about me I despise you and I'll never show you mercy This is my life, my oath and sincerity I live it and I have no time for fantasies
I don't talk about it I live it! This is my reality I live it!
Fuck you and everything that you say and you're about I live your life, I hold no regrets Cause you fear mine I walk the walk, all you ever do is talk And I'm tired of your bitching and cheap insults
You may take me out of the streets But you'll never take the streets out of me
No one cares! Been there done that, never seen you around Your claim to my friendship never existed The truth is you were not to be found You must have imagined it, you just never had it
You talk about it Like you were there It's all heresay No one cares- No one hears you!
Honor you hold none you're not worthy Pride you can't buy, you have to earn it The stories you tell have no credibility All your name dropping's gonna get your ass beat Say what you will No one hears you
It's all bullshit No one cares- No one hears you Shut the fuck up!
Beaten down hang your head in shame This world has washed your dignity away A shell of a person, a wayward soul Your heart barely beats as your blood runs cold Alone you spend your days of apathy You see your life through eyes of misery
You're another casualty of the times we live in!
I feel no pity for people like yourself And I have no f**king sympathy for you or anyone else
Now you're broken, now you're distant Now you're jaded, you're a piece of shit! Now you're broken, now you're distant You're another casualty of the times we live in!
No f**king pity! No f**king sympathy! You're another casualty of the times we live in!
We're here to be and the ones to succeed No need for you to tell us how to be Can't seem to find your reasons why You tell us lies and think you're wise
Why can't you think before you sink Why can't you see, then come to me Tell us lies and ask us why We hate society And we're here to fight I won't shake their hands 'Cause they're not our friends Won't talk to you 'cause you can't be true
You've got problems, yet you keep hiding them You entered their gate, but now it's too late It's your mistake
In these times of war today A choice must be made that no one wants to make The result is inevitable No one wins but a side must be taken
It's them or us, we don't want it this way Death is certain and lives are at stake Whose children must die? Whose buildings must fall? No one can see eye to eye, all we see is hate
Our freedom fighters are their terrorists Their heroes are our nemesis
The generations to follow will embrace our past What the future holds is our everlast Our dedication and sincerity, our eternal flame Today, tomorrow, forever! We're here to stay
It's your life, it's your dreams- Dedication! It's what you make out of it- Dedication! It's how you chose to live- Dedication! It's your life, it's your dreams- Dedication!
I've committed myself to something so real to me The path I chose strengthen my integrity Nothing can compare, nothing shows any threats Nothing can ever surpass my achievements
I remember way back when I felt alone I had no one to turn to, nowhere to go I found an outlet, a place to belong It felt so right- New York Hardcore- My home!
Some people stayed, watched others go Those few who walked away will never know This is my home!
This is dedicated to our fallen soldiers of the DMS Crew You are gone but never forgotten Con amor vaya con dios
We strive in honor for our brothers who are gone Through the thick and the thin, we fight and push on We'll never abandon all that we've built for years No regrets, no pains, no guilt, no tears!
Pride is not a sin, it's a value- Pride is not a sin!
Pride, faith, respect- this is what we live for Hardcore and this is what we die for Our legacy is eternal, my crew is my family
Pride is not a sin, it's a value- Pride is not a sin! DMS Crew!
Pride, faith, respect- this is what we live for! This is what we die for!
Pride is not a sin, it's a value Don't ever question my values
Do you think you could wash away your sins? Did you believe I would let you disgrace me? What f**king morals do you think I live by? What more lies will you think of to tell this time?
All is not forgotten You made your choice All is not forgiven Face your punishment
Betrayed by you, so-called friend, when I needed you the most You walked away, you stabbed my heart Your turn to bleed now God may forgive and grant redemption but I have no remorse Look upon your own reflection, your shame is revealed
I'm not in this fight alone! Still in your face, still fucking here! Till my last dying breath!
Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate!
So many have come and gone, only a few have stood the test For some it's just a passing phase, but for us it's the only way We are still right here! Right here! The scars we wear show that we are real It's not something we saw on t.v. or that we read in a book It was born in the streets!
This is for those with real hate inside This is for those with no shame to hide This is for the fuck ups and the disenchanted We are the ones who refuse to be branded
We are right here! Still right here!
Trends set no values, they just confuse the youth They give no reason for nothing to hold on to Our time never expires, our marks show that truth The chains that bind us, you can't undo
Since the day I turned 15 I've been Standing on my own Never tried no suicide standing on my own Everyday I'm moving forward even Though it seems a little bit awkward Lost myself a thousand times I found My way home I found my way home Standing on my own with no help from you! Since I lost my innocence I've been Standing on my own No time to reminisce standing on my own Everyday I seem to mess up even Though I think it's real bad luck Lost myself a thousand times I found my way home Standing on my own with no help from you!
Since the day I turned 15 I've been Standing on my own Never tried no suicide standing on my own I learned to live I learned to live I've Been standing on my own I learned to fight I'll learn to die Standing on my own Standing on my own with no help from you!
