Madball

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

What is this world coming to
There's no faith, there's no hope
People live in fear, and kill and
ask why die? What is this world
coming to I can't believe what you're
trying to do you're killing people all time
and not paying for your crime, what is
this world coming to I can't believe
what you're trying to do you're killing people all
the time and not paying for your crime
look at me and look at you you think we're
all same but don't you know we're different
in your own way Do you got that fucked up
attitude? You say you don't care but
we all need unity for all of us to share
no faith, no hope, live, kill
why die! Why don't you go fuck yourself
and let me live my life.
Blah!!!

Blah!!!

Wasted my time, you wasted your time on me
Let's face the facts that we must break clean
Fucked with my mind, I was too blind to see
So I waited patiently

I will not stand by and try
I will not stand by your side
You drained the life out of me
Livin' in such misery

Life is not kind, people are filled with greed
You are no exception, you were no friend to me
Fucked with my mind
Took self esteem and I waited anxiously

What did you mean, you said you cared for me
I was so naive, I let walk all over me

I've gained courage, now I am
So better off without you in my life
You sold me out and though it all you fuckin'
Wasted my time.

I've realized though all your lies you did not
Think too much of me
You helped yourself and did not think to offer
Me your company
The hurt inside will heal in time and that's the
Price I have to pay
And that's just fine, I've done my time and now
I'm glad to walk away cause after all, you fuckin'
Wasted my time

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've played yourself out
So just go on your way
You choose your fate now
If you decide to stay
It's not pity that saves you
Cause you're given a chance
I've helped myself out
By Taking this stance

So don't look back now
There's nothing to say
You should be grateful to walk away

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

Now - is the time for unity
Why - because it means a lot to me
We - can be strong once again
I've seen it before and I know we can
They - always tried to hold us down
We - are the ones who are still around
Why - because we fought for unity
That is something they don't wanna see
They'll always try but they can't hold me
There are many who have come and gone
I've seen the weak, I've seen the strong
But to those who are true, you know who you are
This is all about you and me, and our fight against society
Our time has come; we have to break free
Don't think that we believe your lies
We see the fear in your eyes
You can't change us so don't even try
It's time for us to make this last
We've learned our lessons from the past
I've seen it before and I know we can

Livin' in a world
People try to be what they're not - but can't see the fantasy
Who's living a dream
It seems it's you
We know whose real
Your life is just a game
You don't deserve your fame
Living in a world
Where the fake get apid and the true get pushed around
True to the game I'll stay while for you it's the fame
I despise you and your selfish ways
You know I'm real and I know you're fake

I see the look in your eyes now
You can't disguise it
I've been there many times myself
The thought alone is antagonizing

Don't self-destruct now
You're a time bomb ticking away
Don't let that anger control your fate
It's not too late

I've gotta call it how I see it
I see myself in you
I've gotta call it how I see it
Friend or foe, I speak the truth

I've gotta call it how is see it
It's part of me and you
I've gotta call it how I see it
'Cause I've got nothing to prove

I feel the hate in your heart kid
It's eating you alive
You're gonna take it out on everyone
Until you bump into the wrong guy

Don't self-destruct now
Live to learn another day
Don't let that anger
Force my hand this way

I've gotta call it how I see it
I see myself in you
I've gotta call it how I see it
Friend or foe, I speak the truth

I've gotta call it how I see it
It's part of me and you
I've gotta call it how I see it
'Til this time bomb is diffused

I'm not telling you to back down
'Cause you should always stand your ground
We have to pick and choose our battles now
Are you sure you wanna go all out?

'Cause I can be a time bomb too
And if you light my fuse, I will unload
If you ignite my fuse, I might explode
Don't ignite my fuse

beware of whats around you.
the elements of life will sometimes take you in.
bad things always surround you.
its your choice now to think.
crime is easy to come by and temptation is bound to bring you down.
corruption distorts your judgement and it seems you cant trust no one now.
thinking to myself theres a price to pay.
is it worth the pain,
the pain of someone taking your life away?
saying to myself there is a better way.
its not worth the pain,
the pain of someone taking it all away.
memories are here to remind you,
learn from your brothers.


dont make their mistakes.
trouble will somehow find you,
its your choice to contemplate.
crime dont pay in the long run.
money aint worth the risk of death or jail.
im not judging no one.
im just thinking, talkin to myself.

Born into violence
Didn't know any other way
This life of crime he was destined
For, and this is his fate
From a broken home
Getting beat was an everyday thing
This is what is going down everywhere
And for him it's too late

can't blame him
There's nothing he can do
They made him take their abuse
And he's takin' it out on you
It's my turn, I'm takin'
It out on you
The world is mine
And no onecan take it from me

That's his mentality
That's why he got put away
Did his share of time
And he's out and back
To his old ways
Got wiser, became a leader and took
Control of the streets
Turned his gang into an empire
Now he can't get beat

I won't walk away from you, not like this
I have unfinished business
We went away for a minute, I know
Two years and a minute I suppose, here we go

Back on this journey again
For worse or for better, we came to make amends
With ourselves, our friends and our families
This is for them now

I've seen a lot of changes
(A lot of changes)
Within ourselves, within our scene
I'm not trying to rearrange things

There's only one way, I can say this
(I can say this)
We've come back for the crown
It's time to claim it

It's only begun, the second chapter of what's to come
We're not done
We strayed for a minute, I know
It's time we let everybody know, here we go

We're back on this grind again
For worse or for better, we came to represent
Ourselves and our friends, our families
This is for them again

I've seen a lot of changes
(A lot of changes)
Within ourselves, within our scene
I'm not trying to rearrange things

There's only one way, I can say this
(I can say this)
We've come back for the crown
It's time to claim it

Where there's love there's always hate
Where there's respect there's always envy
We know some wanna see us fail

We won't stop 'til I get what's mine
We've stood the test of time
Now we will prevail, we came for the crown

I've seen a lot of changes
(A lot of changes)
Within ourselves, within our scene
I'm not trying to rearrange things

There's only one way, I can say this
(I can say this)
We've come back for the crown
It's time to claim it

This is the last time that I say this
We are here for the crown
It's time to claim it

I've won and I've lost
The struggle tears me apart
The final judgement means much to me
I try to follow me heart
I know that I try
But are my effort's too weak

It's just a matter of right or wrong
It's what I do and not what I speak
I can't believe that there is no hope

Or else I am sure to give in
I have to keep my faith alive and
Tell myself not to give in

I know that I try
But are efforts too late?
Will I be able to right my wrongs?
Will I be able to conquer my hate?

Temptation or restraint
The choice is left up to me
In the end I hope I prove my faith
In he who judges me

Walking through these streets of hate
And I can feel their pain
I see how this fuckin' place
Can sometimes drive you insane

But I choose to keep my sanity
Won't let anything bring me down
I gotta be strong mentally
Be quick to the schemes that are all around

When I walk these streets
I know that it's in vein
I've been told I should get out
Before I wind up a victim in pain



But I choose to keep my sanity
Won't let the bgad times bring me down
I gotta think of all the good things
And all the good friends I have around me

Streets of hate
Walking through these endless streets
And I can feel their rage
I see how this fuckin' place can sometimes drive you insane

new times draw upon me i cant forsee whats next.
but i feel free to do what i have to do,
i answer to, only g.o.d. i look up to. cant say ive changed,
cant say that im still the same.
i mintain through my mindstrains to figure out the next move without pain.
still searching for teh way to work it out,
soul searching cant do nothing about what lies next on lifes list,
will i live, will we ever get out?
trapped visions that i must believe,
so far away from i cant retreat.
sometimes i find a way to get mine,
other times im lost, im blind.
the pressure gets hard B,


i cant lose track its always on me.
i cant stray 'cause it wont go away,
gotta figure out the next move day by day.
times out!
do or die, its my time, its my life, its my time,
do or die. do or die, its our time-its our lives.
times out.

Here I'll put it to you
before we fight
I need to step to you
to prove I'm right
I never leaked a drop of loyalty
i never lost my hate and purity
you say you're down and out and I'm to blame
but all there ever was
was shame in your game
never will we battle or bleed for you again
never will we swallow our pride for your revenge
i guess you never had it in your heart
you never had our back you were destined to part
you played yourself out
flashing true colours
proving that bit of doubt to your brothers
sukers like you run in and out of jams and pretty soon your luck will end

All you wished was to block my goals
All you did was strenghten my soul
And what I wanted from you
I could not get
So dreading our deaths is how we
Choose to live

You're the one who feeds my rage
You're to blame fror endless pain

It's in your nature to
Destroy my dreams
It's in my heart to
Damage my means
Because I feed off your fire
Day after day
It's you who I live for until I shit
On your grave

[chorus]

So shall it be the last laugh on me ?
When you lay there to rot, I breath

[chorus]

All you wished was to block my goals
All you did was strenghten my soul
And what I wanted from you
I could not get
So dreading our deaths is how we
Choose to live

You're the one who feeds my rage
You're to blame fror endless pain

It's in your nature to
Destroy my dreams
It's in my heart to
Damage my means


Because I feed off your fire
Day after day
It's you who I live for until I shit
On your grave

Chorus

So shall it be the last laugh on me ?
When you lay there to rot, I breath

Chorus

no more fighting we've had enough
we won't take any more of your shit
you got the badge and you got the gone
don't shoot us down just 'cause we're having fun

i will not hesitate,
if i wait, i give in to chance and i cant live life that way.
can you read my face,
theres no way i'll turn and walk away so just make your mistake.
so when the time comes i dont care,
when the time comes i'll be there,
when the time comes show no fear,
'cause its time and im right here.
i will not lose face, i'll save,
everything i am 'cause thats just how i was made.
i will not hesitate,


if i wait i give into chance and i cant live life that way.
a wise man once said to me
??짝????'on, dont you ever back down to no one?
'cause i'll be there, dont show no fear.

I see through bitter eyes and
The fact still remains
I read between your lies
You got beat at your own game
Take a trip with me for soon
I will sin
Without one regret
The pain will begin

As the knife got deeper
I won't go without a fight
But you know the price you'll pay
That price is with your life
Suffering and pain like nothing
In your past
I walk the walk, and my path
will be your last

[Repeat 1st verse]

[Repeat 1st chorus]

i never backstab another to save mine,
i stand the time.
for me its do or die,
these are the rules i live by.
and i shed my blood for my brothers of the same mind,
of the same kind, who never leave a side.
see we never think twice,
and they shed their blood for me.
shos by my side, im by your side.
my blood is my loyalty,
my brothers are loyal to me.


who by my side, this is what we believe.
we stand for one another in hard times, in good times.
no matter what we find,
a way so we can get by.
and i shed my blood for my.

We won't take any shit and we're not about to leave
Just cause you don't like who and what we want to be
Who are you to say what's wrong what's right
If it's what it takes, we're ready to fight
Ready to fight, ready to fight
Ready to fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

I'm tryin' to keep calm and you're pushin' me
I'm tryin' to keep my calm and see you're still
Pushin' me
I don't know why you keep pushin' me
I'm tryin' to keep my calm and see you're still
Pushin' me!

You've pushed your luck with me and I don't
Appreciate the fact that you're tryin' to
Intimate me
I've tried to keep my cool
But you've taken it from me

Times are changing for the worse
Gotta keep a positive outlook
Growing up in such violent times
Have some faith and you'll get by

Thinking back when I was a kid
Times have changed so much since then
All grown up I gotta do for myself
I refuse to depend on anyone else

Life's hard, you struggle some times


In the end I'll get what's mine
But for now I'll deal with the times
Have some faith and you'll get by

Times are changing for the worse
Times are changing - I keep

I know my family is there for me
And without them where the hell would I be
But still I gotta try to be my own man
Make good of what I got - do the best that I can

Los tiempos son duros, son deficil
No entiendo por que hubo tanto sacrificio
Tal vez es que no fuimos tan afortunados
Esos tiempos han pasado por que a cada cual nos amamos

Trabajando para vivir en tiempos malos
No aceptamos perder asi
Me dieron lo que no pudieron tener
Y no dejo que pase un dia sin darle gracias a el
Con dios estoy bien

Los tiempos duros se mejoran estamos muy bien
Pero el dinero nunca sobra
Sabes para mi ese dinero no me importa
Yo tengo mi familia lo mas importante en me vida

Esto es para mi madre ella me ense챰o a querer
Y para mis ermanos que me ayudaron mantener
Esto es para mi padre
Me dio la fuerza para defender
Para toda mi gente y dios por el poder

I thank God and all Family did their best
And now it's up to me

translation:

The times are hard, are deficil I do not understand Perhaps so that there was as much sacrifice is that we were not so lucky Those times have happened so that everyone we loved ourselves Working to live in bad times we did not accept to lose asi gave Me what they could not have and I do not leave spends a day without thanking to him to With God I am well The hard times improve we are very well But the money never surplus You know for my that money does not concern I to me I have my family but important in me the life This is for my mother she I am taught to want and for my ermanos that helped to maintain me This is for my father gave the force to defend Me For all my people and God by the power I thank God and all Family did to their best And now it's up to me

I'm tired of people taking with no return
never giving back when it was my turn
I'm done giving charity so leave me be
I have nothing to offer and no one to feed
only myself I'm the one in need
forced to live this way because of your greed

I see it every day
Everywhere I look they say
Another life has been taken away
It makes my stomach turn
But livin' here you gotta learn
Get used to it, it's reality
Say your prayers
Hope it won't happen to you
Mind you business
Do what you gotta do
Don't look for trouble
Sometimes trouble finds you
What can you do, what can I do ?

One on one fights don't exist
Fist fights are extinct
Nowadays people don't seem to think
They can't see how easy
It is to set a soul free
That decision is not theirs to make

[repeat chorus]

Now you see what I mean
Protecting my family and me
What can I do ?

It makes my stomach turn
But livin' here you gotta learn
You gotta fight back when someones
Tries to take your life from you

i know its hard for me to see,
the way things have come to be but i must leave it be.
cant keep looking back,
i dont know how to act.
i dont know where to start,
i know ive been here before.
my conscience still believes that it was on me.
my guilty heart bleeds dont want to feel this no more.
so tell me something since youve done nothing except you lied to me.
you said youd never leave,
after all this i wanted to believe that you still care about my life.
just tell me something so i can go in peace 'cause we could not make that sacrifice.
after all this i wanted to believe that you still care about me.


its hard to see, but it must be,
you take away a piece of me.
i never take a step back,
never look back.
ive come to face the facts and i know where you stand.
i wont take another step back, never look back.

Don't tell me how much
Better it was in the 80's
Don't talk about the brotherhood
Lost within the scene
To me you were always a quitter
From day one, just like you proved
Me right in the long run
No longer you wear the crown

Don't tell me how much
Better it was in the 80's
Don't talk about the brotherhood
Lost within the scene
To me you were always a quitter
From day one, just like you proved
Me right in the long run
No longer you wear the crown

I'm walkin' down the street
I will not show you fear
No time for sympathy
I give my cold stare
I don't care what you think of me
It's not revenge I seek, it's just you and me
I'm walking down the street
And tension fills the air
I will not think defeat
Moment of truth is here
I don't care what you think of me
It's not revenge I seek, it's you and me

Right Now You and Me
Right Now You and Me

All that talking you've done is weak
You got to be about what you speak
All the schism and hype will seize
Once we take this beef to the muthafuckin' streets

Look my way, don't hide your face in shame
To me your all the same

I don't need your respect

Our pride and shame, we've held strong through the years
We've come this far, and I see very clear
You faked a smile to show me how much you care
You hypocrites get no respect over here

I know your game B
I keep going strong
You can't fake me
I keep movin on

I see right through your games and all your phony ways, in my world you have no say
Go your way, cause i know they'll be a day, when you'll be forced to look my way

Our pride and shame, we've always kept it real
No need to front, or hide the way I feel
You live a lie, afraid to look me in the eye
You have alot to say, so speak your mind

I know your game B
I keep going strong
You can't fake me
I keep movin on



I'm not to blame
When all your shit blows up in your face
I'm not to blame
Cause someone's bound to put you in your place
I'm not to blame
For all the times that you were afraid
To just look my way

You hide your face in shame, cause you have no integrity, and to me your all the same

I don't need your respect

Our pride and shame, we've held strong through the years
We've Come this far, and I see very clear
You faked a smile to show me how much you care
You hypocrites get no respect over here

I know your game B
I keep going strong
You can't fake me
I keep movin on

Don't ask me no more questions
Just get out of my face
I told you I know nothing
I'm leaving this fucked up place
You're trying to take my freedom for
Something that I haven't done
I'm not a fucking rat
So just go fuck yourself

Justice, justice
That word don't mean nothing to you
Fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you and your system too
You've ruined my life
There's no turning back now

If I don't rat I'll never get out
I know nothing, that's not
what I'm about
You locked me up an innocent man
Because I got some pride
I got some pride

Can't you see what you're
doin' to me
Locked me down when I should be free
I've done no wrong
I'm an innocent man
You don't give a fuck
You'll never understand

Live or die, are the choises I got
But I refuse to go anywhere soon
Life is too short to keep explaining myself
My situation means nothing to you
Back to reality once again
I clear my thoughts and think about how much time I spent
Keep movin' on and try to do what I do best
I was always taught right from wrong
But who are you to be judging who's right
Doin' what I gotta do to get by
Will I survive; just look in my eyes
I gotta live my life day by day
No matter what type of bullshit is thrown my way
I'll overcome it with or without your help
Don't tell me, you can't tell me
How I choose to live my life
The way I choose to live my life
I was always taught right from wrong
But who are you to pint the finger at me
I have no need to explain myself
Cause your opinions I don't need

I'm lookin' forward to better times when I won't
Have to struggle to get by
Searchin' for some peace of mind, hard times got
Me crossin' the line
And every difficult day I learn I'm not alone in the
Struggle to get by

Everybody's got their own fight
It's just a fact of life

And I know things don't come easy
But I know that I'll get by
But I know that things don't come easy
But I'll survive

So I'm takin' it as comes
I know I've got to stay on my feet
I've got to roll with the punches because I see that
It's up to me
And every day that that I fight temptation I know God is
On my side
These are the lesson of life
And I will get by

And I know things don't come easy
But I know that I'll get by
I know things don't come easy
But I'll survive

And when I think back
It gives me strength inside
And I won't hold back
I take it all in stride
I will get by

I've been around for some time now
And I really don't care what some people think about me
I've been called a lot of things some good, some bad
I've had many people doubt me

I'm not ashamed of anything when it comes to this
I stay true to the game
And when the flames were burning slow
I grabbed the torch and let everybody know

What the music, the scene means to me
With pride and sincerity
Handed down by our brothers
Is this our legacy?

I've been around the world and back again
I've had the privilege of watching this grow
Transcend beyond the streets, the clubs, the trends
Beyond anything we had imagined

That's what the music, the scene means to me
Pride and integrity
Handed down by our brothers
Is this our legacy?

Madball
Legacy
This is our legacy

It's an honor for us, for me
To stand side by side with those who paved the way for me
It's an honor for us to see so many showing respect
Even those who doubted me and it's only the beginning

That's what the music, the scene means to me
Pride and integrity
Handed down by our brothers
This is our legacy

The time has come for all to hear
Madball's back so just beware
The time has come to
Set it all straight
Speaking the truth because
I got a lot of hate
To all who got beef
Get ready to fight

The battle begun
We'll show you who's right
We're takin' over and
We're letting you know
The crew is runnin' the show

It's time, time to
Set the record straight
Speaking the truth
Cause I got a lot of hate
In my mind you can't see
What's going on
We're taking over and
Now you're time has come

Time has come, I'm on the attack
Ball of destruction is bringin'
it back
Hardcore lives through me
The time has come for all to see
To all who got beef
Get ready to fight
The battle begun we'll
Show you who's right
Takin' over and we're
Letting you know
The crew is runnin' the show

Enough times been wasted and now I'm faced with our realities and what's to come of this scene.
So many come and go, some have disgraced it.
I think its time we take a stand show them what we mean.
You can't stop this, this think of ours.
Hold it down.
This things is ours, hardcore is ours.
Time after time, line after line.
I must express the truth 'cause that is what we stand for.
Some live to lie they will defy and deny our roots I pay no mind.
You no who we care for.
And I'm not only speaking for myself I cant.
I hope I speak for everyone else out there.
'cause a lot of people think that we don't care.
But they can't stop what I'm bringing can't stop what I'm bringing.
Tryin to make a change do what I can.
They can't stop what I'm bringing can't stop what I'm bringing.
You can't stop what we're bringing.
Tryin to make a change and hold it down 'cause we can

(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

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

He was young at heart, been through it all
Seen all the changes, now it's time to move on
If it wasn't for him it just wouldn't be the same
He's not gone, in his heart it will stay
Pass the glory down
So pay your respect
Keep alive what he started
We'll make sure of that
If it wasn't for him
It just wouldn't be the same
He's not gone, in his heart it will stay
He moved on; that's the choise he had to make
Do what you gotta do, we're behind you all the way
Hardcore, that's all you're ever gonna be
I give thanks; you'll always be a brother to me

I don't want you around - get out, get out
I don't want you here - get out, get out
I don't care what you do - get out, get out
I don't care what you say - get out, get out
Madball!
Stay the fuck out!!!

I don't want you around - get out, get out

Hang out with me then you stab me in the
Back- are you friend or foe
See me on the streets you walk right by
Me- are you friend or foe
Tell me on the phone that I'm a fucking
Clone- are you friend or foe
Why don't mind your own life and leave me
Alone- are you friend or foe
Friend, foe
Are you my friend or foe

Hang out with me then you stab me in the
Back- are you friend or foe
See me on the streets you walk right by
Me- are you friend or foe
Tell me on the phone that I'm a fucking
Clone- are you friend or foe
Why don't mind your own life and leave me
Alone- are you friend or foe
Friend, foe
Are you my friend or foe

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

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

you better think quick,
act fast before its time you take another blast.
you better think about where you stand 'cause it seems youre on the wrong path.
used to look down, talk down.
now you walk down the same path blown out.
youre foolin yourself, youre not proud.
so lean on me to come down.
choose youre own fate, but this aint mine.
youve fallen from grace,
i wont let you fall this time.
out back to back days sniffin gak,
now youre really on the wrong track.
do you really want to come back?


are you losing yourself and do you want that?
i fall this time.
its not a necessity,
its just a fantasy and its too much for me.
too much of anything is not a good thing.
fallen and now i plead.

You say that you've been there
Think that you've seen it all
You keep frontin' like you know it all
You let ignorance set in and
Control your life
Runnin' your mouth into
Extreme heights
You chose to dis me and the crew
You played yourself like a fool
Showing pride's far
Beyond your might
Push came to shove
Now it's time to fight
Tell me how you're livin'
Face to face
Tell me how you're livin'
Is it in disgrace?

[repeat 1st verse]
