(One Two Three Four) Hardcore we live this we breathe this You can't stop what can't be defeated Hardcore pride hardcore pride hardcore pride hardcore lives in me! blah
Even when I Walk away from all of this I won't forget your faces The places that I've been
For so many years, so many friends Times that we cherish now and then We can't replace them But we can look ahead
I give all my respect to you, my friends After all I've seen, and all we've been through This is a worldwide thing All across the world I say to you, my friends Thanks for all the love, for always staying true Now it's a worldwide thing
Don't confuse my words I'm not finished yet There's more to see, more to express More to conquer, nevertheless still
I'm humbled by it all Will we rise or fall? I won't stand complacent We will make our statement
From New York to the west coast, all across the lands Overseas in Europe, and Japan Australia to New Zealand To South America, well, here we go again
I give all my respect to you, my friends After all I've seen, and all we've been through This is a worldwide thing All across the world I say to you, my friends Thanks for all the love, for always staying true Now it's a worldwide thing
Now it's a worldwide thing This is a worldwide thing Is everybody with me? It's a worldwide thing Is everybody with me? Now it's a worldwide thing
I don't believe in this segregation This separation is not a part of our scene We're a part of the same thing What ever happened to unity?
Don't point your fingers in any direction We all have different beliefs That's just a fact of life, reality Who do you think you are with that elitist mentality?
Live your own life, don't be the judge of me Think twice, before you tell me how to be Whose right, whose wrong doesn't matter to me It's my life, so don't say nothin'
I hope you're listening, pay attention I'm not one to preach But if you believe these words then listen carefully I'll tell you what I don't believe
I don't believe in discrimination, integration I don't judge by look What you eat or drink doesn't matter to me It's about respect, equality
Live your own life, don't be the judge of me Think twice, before you tell me how to be Whose right, whose wrong doesn't matter to me It's my life, so don't say nothin'
Live your own life, don't be the judge of me Think twice, before you tell me how to be Whose right, whose wrong doesn't matter you see It's my life, so don't pass judgment on me
I'm tryin' to let you know Don't let ignorance get the best of you Tear down these walls they have to fall You can't divide us, hardcore unite us
Live your own life, don't be the judge of me Think twice, before you tell me how to be Whose right, whose wrong doesn't matter to me It's my life, so don't say nothin'
Live your own life, don't be the judge of me Think twice, before you tell me how to be Whose right, whose wrong doesn't matter you see It's my life, so don't pass judgment on me
Live your own life Live your own life Live your own life Live your own life
I've been waiting a long time to give you a piece of my mind You can run but you can't hide from who you are inside And you don't want to confront me
No, I know your kind You've been runnin' the same old lies Keelin' over on your mines
You'll see, it's all in a matter of time You're gonna hafta confront me We're all in this game, we don't believe The loyalty comes for free You only get respect when it's given out
Make no mistake, you're the enemy Make no mistake, you are my enemy
Still here after many hard years When will you realize You can't kill what won't die? They've tried but the strong survive
I'm only tellin' you one time, you're livin' a lie You've been cryin' some words of gettin' tired How can we talk with that closed mind? You pass judgment, you cross the line
And you never confront me 'Cause we're all in this game, we don't believe Loyalty comes for free You only get respect when it's given out
Make no mistake, you're the enemy Make no mistake
Check out the black down? You don't know me I never back off 'Cause you're my enemy
Another night turns into day I haven't slept yet, but I'm okay See if you dabble with fire, there'll be hell to pay I might as well have a drink to wash away the pain
More cocaine, the devil's in my system, he won't go away My mind wanders further but I'm not insane This is just my life, my reality I've got my pistol on the side of my waist
Don't start, no shit and I won't shoot up the place My aims kinda bad and my eyes are glazed But I brought extra clips just in case
Here I am again on the lower east side Doing my thing, I'm damned Damned, yes I am Another night full of crime and sin, so damned Damned
Here I am night after night Breaking night again, I'm damned Damned And I can't get myself Out of this rut I'm living in
Another day turns into night I'm running on fumes, but I'm alright At least that's what I tell myself every day I might as well have another drink to wash away the pain
More cocaine, the devil's got a grip and he won't get away My mind is an altered state But I'm still the same person I used to be, right?
Here I am again on the lower east side Doing my thing, I'm damned Damned, yes I am Another night full of crime and sin, so damned Damned
Here I am night after night Breaking night again, I'm damned Damned And I can't get myself Out of this rut I'm living in
Sometimes I feel I'm against the ropes Fighting for my life Give me just one second to rest I'll come back with an overhand right
I can't let circumstances get me down Or knock me out I've been in too many scuffles Way too many bouts
Fight, there is no mercy for the helpless in this life Fight, whatever hand you're dealt, you should be ready to fight Fight, never surrender, keep your guard up all the time Fight, always remember, everything worth having is worth the fight
Here I am still sticking and moving Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing My instincts tell me to just keep throwing the jab
In this life situations Sometimes get you down But if you're not out, there's no excuses Get up and fight now
Fight, there is no mercy for the helpless in this life Fight, whatever hand you're dealt, you should be ready to fight Fight, never surrender, keep your guard up all the time Fight, always remember, everything worth having is worth the fight
Get up and fight
I don't have the answers But I'm still in the fight I'll bob and weave then land a few Then I feel alright
You have to seize the moment Or at least you have to try Create opportunities for yourself In this ring of life
Fight, there is no mercy for the helpless in this life Fight, whatever hand you're dealt, you should be ready to fight Fight, never surrender, keep your guard up all the time Fight, always remember, everything worth having is worth the fight
I woke up from a dream today, I thought of you, Jay I looked at the clock, it read 2:22 I know that you are here with me like every day Still I miss you in every way Your coolness, your presence I'll see you on the other side someday
Until then, I'll honor you my friends Your spirit will always live It will live through me Until then, you have gone but you're not forgotten You're more than a memory You will always be a part of me
I was on the east side today and I thought of you, Mike I had a drink, said a prayer, wiped my face I knew that you were there with me like every day Still I miss those good old days Your laughter, your presence I will see you on the other side someday
Until then, I'll honor you my friends Your spirit will always live It will live through me Until then, you have gone but you're not forgotten You're more than a memory You will always be a part of me
Until then, I will honor you every way that I can Until then, I will be missing you my friends Until then
In a world full of war and hate What do you think, is there any salvation? Is there any hope for the future in these times of The revelations?
In this world that we can't escape Have we exceeded our expectations? Have we gone too far with technology To protect our nations?
(I speak) For me and my generation I have to ask these questions (For them) For me
In this world full of war and hate All we can do is ask these questions I pray for the best, the future is not Yours, mine or anyone's
On the eve of our destruction Has anyone asked us How do we feel about the future of humanity? This is insanity
(I speak) For me and my generation I have to ask these questions (For them) For me, for everyone
What is this world comin' to? That is the question that I have to ask all of you Who hold the proof and the world In the palm of your hands
Well it's not one country, it's not one man It's all of you who spread the fear Desire to control it all, make your choices wisely Or we're dead as planned
You were the light in the darkness That I lived in full of redemption and sin Even though I was surrounded by the best of friends My future was looking dim
You gave me hope in a time when I lost control About to lose my soul You picked me up from the gutters that I once roamed Helped my see what I now know
When I thought there was no one there for me Your light shined on me You gave me hope, you gave me all I need You set me free
When I fought against myself, to be as good as I can be You gave me strength, you gave me what I need You're everything to me
In the darkest of days you came into my life It was full of so much strife Self-destruction was the name of the game that I played You reinforced the values that I had lost at no price or cost
And even when I slipped into the darkness again You fought to bring me back in
I hope you know what you mean to me You mean everything, everything I hope you know that I'd do anything for you I mean anything
You made a man out of me when I thought I knew it all I knew nothing You brought me hope in my darkest days I love you more than anything
When I thought there was no one there for me Your light shined on me You gave me hope, you gave me all I need You set me free
When I fought against myself to be as good as I could be You gave me strength you gave me what I need You're always there for me
