Verbal Kint
At first look you would way that this man is just a gimp, he walks alot, he lies alot, he walks with a bad limp. But no one really knows him, no one takes the hint, a mastermind in fool's diguise, his name is Verbal Kint... You could call him the devil, the reason being this, the best trick the devil ever pulled; convinced the world he didn't exhist. A devil in disguise, a wolf dressed as a lamb, just when you think he's going to fold, he's got four aces in his hand... He runs the underworld and no one sees his face, he's killed a 1000 men, he's got a million different names. He's the baddest motherf*cker that I have hever known, he works hard for what he's got, he's got a heart that's made of stone... He'll make you doubt yourself, he'll play tricks with your brain, does he steal or does he kill, it doesn't matter, it's all the same. He may seem a petty crook, but he's no ordinary man, his name is Verbal Kint, he's got the whole world in his hands...

Nothing Left
Find yourself in brand new times, unfamiliar crooked lines. The rules have changed, nothing's the same. The smae things happen everytime and everyone says "you'll do fine." Swallowing pride while you're throwing up shame... Coming undone, nothing's done. I watch the world pass while I waste away. Take it as it come, but it's all gone, I've got nowhere to go, I've got nothing to say... Everything you thought: none of it was true, you only cared about yourself, you walked in no one else's shoes. Now I've seen too much of life, my heart has turned to stone, but I still have my friends, I won't ever be alone... Too late for your confessions, too late to get it off your chest. Your existence is pathetic, you have nothing left...

Enough
This is not a phase, this won't be outgrown, we've got things to say, I am not alone... you call me a freak, you say that I am weird. I am not the one whose life is filled with fear. I will face the world, and I will take your sh*t, but all you do is hide and I'm f*cking sick of it. I think I've had enough of everything you do, I think I've had enough, I've had enough of you... Who the f*ck are you to tell me whos I am? You don't believe in anything, at least I take a stand. You think I should grow up but I think I already have, I'll succeed on my own terms, I'll take what I can grab. I don't think it's fair to judge me without cause, if life is won by how you play then you've already lost. You know it doesn't matter if you think I'm wrong or right, so quit your g*d-dammed bitching and get a f*cking life...

Pretty Girls
When I first saw her at the show, walked over and said "hey let's go," she was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen, do you know what I mean? She was the one I'd been looking for, I can't take it anymore, I thought we were going to have so much fun, that was before she pulled a gun! Now what cnaI do? What can I say? She's got a gun to my head and I can't run away! Why do pretty girls carry guns? Was she going to kill me just for fun? And can you tell me why is she pointing this gun at my head? In a few minutes, will I be dead? I pleaded and begged and I got on my knees, I just wanna leave. So I said I have to go to the bathroom, she said she'd kill me if I wasn't back soon, but I jumped out that window, and ran as far as my legs would let me go... I think I'll miss her, even though she tried to kill me, because she was the most prettiest girl that I'll ever see. I thought we were going to have so much fun, that was before she pulled a f*cking gun!

Jeff Acree
Buying drugs off the street away from angry homeboys that you meet. Drinking till your face truns blue, trashed your truck and your car too.. Jeff Acree f*cked truck up!! Doing speed and smoking dope, you live your life devoid of hope. Getting beat when you pick fights, you have no car you ride a bike...

Screwed
My moments of clarity would have broken you in two, the things I've seen would have ruined you. I'm scared so deep, I'm sick with life, and if I ever was anything, I was right... I look at your heart and nothing's there, but my one and only problem is that I still care... I don't want to get old and forget what's right, been stabbed in the back too many times in this life. I know what's mine and I know what's not, I know my boudries, I know when to stop. You're no better than me, you're just old, you're part of a system, you're bought and sold. Hate you so bad that I'm seeing red, but I'll still be young and you'll just be dead...

Termination
They are coming you know who, to take us over, they talk to them, you know the government, the aliens, they're here.. Empire built on blood and bones, Take a look at where we're going, Stepping over fallen friends, Time and time again. Here they come to overtake, we're their toys, they've come to break us down to the ground, TERMINATION!!! We're their toys, 'perfect society.' They f*ck with your heads and kidnap the race, they f*ck it up, this f*cked up place... They may wipe off this sh*tty place, this ruined planet, this dying race...

Turn It Around
Dire civilization getting high off misery lives wasted away flipping thorugh the channels on TV, we're taking our time, and throwing it away, a tomorrow's killed by yesterday, intimidation replacing unity, blacnk generation, community, more factories are going up, more people are falling down, it's up to us to turn it around... Turn It Around... we're rollin gdown hill and gaining speed, snowballing all the way illing everything we see, we're taught when we're young "don't bite the hand that feeds" but it covers our ears and shades all we see... living in a world made for one, lock the door, pull the shades, kill the sun, failure's all that I can get right, an empty hand and a bloody knife... Turn It Around...

What Can I Do?
I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't wear a mask, and no matter how hard I try I'll still come in last. People always try to tell me down where I should go, suit and tie, ball and chain, I just don't know. Those ssame people try to tell me what I should do, but I'm a step ahead and they don't have a clue. They're taking their insecurities out on me, closing themselves in and they don't ven see. What can I do? (a lot) It's up to me! (just once)... When I look back and can still see myself, I remember being alone and how pathetic I felt. They told me what to do and just fell in line, followed all those rules, and I got left behind! etc...

Up To The Top
Climb up to the top, get knocked down to the ground. When will all the bullsh*t stop? What goes around comes around. My success is measured by comparison to you, your time's come and gone, you are f*cking through. Too proud to admit that you don't know it all. Pride doesn't mean sh*t when your back's against the wall... Not gonna give up no matter what you say, I know that life is tough, I'm reminded of it everyday. I pick myself up and then I start again, it's endless cycle that it's never gonna ed. When you say that I'm a failure, I know that you are wrong, whatever doesn't kill me will only make me strong. I will make an effort until the day I die, I will stand on my two feet and I will always try.

Dime Store Hoods
There are boys tht I know who are mean as hell, they keep to themselves and it's just as well. They've got bad cars and they've got cool chicks, greased up hair, man they look real slick... Dime Sore Hoods! They cruise the alleys, stay out of sight. They drink all day and they fight all night. Switchblade knives and cool tattoos, pompadours and rockabilly shoes. Street bye street, block by block, taking it all back. Dimes Store Hoods, ATR crew, we'll turn the tide, counterattack. West Coast Teenage F*ckups, 100's strong and we're here to stay. The youth are taking over, and we're going to start today.

Slap
I was lied to when I was told life was fair, and that someone would always be there, I hated myself more than anyone else. I was so unhappy with the cards I was dealt. When I was a child, my castle was my home, now I walk down empty streets, memories and me alone, it's easier to burn a bridge that to cross it, to slip, give in, give up, move on, and try to forget... more's been said in silence than could ever be spoken in words, secret's shared, and promises kept, and feelings that will never be cured...

Dance Floor
Dance floor its' my home away from home, the music's loud, I start to dance, I don't feel so alone, so much agression, but I don't hurt anyone, I go to the show, and I dance and have fun... I found it, what I've been looking for! Paid my five bucks and go into the show, this is so great, I don't ever want to go...

Looking Back
Your way of expressing your friendship with me, is a shotgun blast in my head. All this bullsh*t, leaving me out, it makes me wish that you were dead... The rain has left now, but the puddles still remain, the one thing I know, it'll never be the same again. Looking back now at the stupid things we did, and all those things taht I wish I never said... Now we're stuck in a situation that's irreversible. I wish we could go back in time, but that's impossible.

Nowhere Fast
Julie had a bad day so she headed north on I-5, she just wanted to get the hell out of Los Angeles. Thought maybe Seattle, but ended up on Haight Street, bumming change from a young gutterpunk named Mario. Do this: All I have to do is die. Think this: all I have to think is why. Be this: all I have to do is try, I'll be what I want. Julie was on cocaine but she kept the car in her lane, thought she didn't have a clue where is would take her... Nowhere fast, that's where I want to be. Give me good times and someplace to sleep, the price of freedom doesn't actually come cheap... Julie had a migraine because she was out of cocaine and she finally got her ass back to Los Angeles. Julie, she was crying as she headed across the bay bridge, she just had to get the hell away from Mario. Thought the lower east side counded good but she was so tired, she just parked outside a crack house in South Berkeley. Julie, she was running, so she kept the car at 80 and it died just norht of Gilman Street in Albany. Julie was a f*ckup, but I swear she wasn't stupid, and she finally got her ass back to Los Angeles.

Jennifer's Cafe
Sitting in Richmond the "C-side" of town, the whole band is with me, we're just f*cking around. Reggae is the sound on the radio, we've got nothing to do, we've got nowhere to go... I've been told that nothing stays the same, that sooner or later it has to change. Fight if you have to, to live your life. Don't let'em tell you anything, but you know what's right. Summertime sun and heat that you can taste. Ashes, and strings, and Adam's bass. In the East Bay in the Summertime, needles and foil, having such a good time... We all walk over to Jennifer's, we haven't eated all day. A place to relax, a place to get away. Smoking cigarettes, hung over so bad. 'Now" are the best times I've ever had...

Burning Down
A place that I could go to, no longer welcomes me, outcasted and rejected, I never thought I'd leave. No longer is it sacred, it's tainted through and through, I thought that it was differen, now I know that isn't true... You wear on your sleeve, I wear it in my heart, you were so quick to finish, I have yet to start... Something far to perfect, is never what it seems, the reality I wanted, lives only in my dreams. It's so sad that your life revolves around a fad, you're burning down your future while you build up your past... The unity they sold to me, was an ugly f*cking lie. They've cast me out, and I've seen the truth 'cos I opened my eyes... A fatasty I lived in has now crashed back to the ground, now nothing looks the same, it's all been turned around. I thought that I could live it and change the was things are, but I lived that way for years, and nothing's changed so far. It took so long to build it, this home I thought I'd found, but where there's smoke there's fire, and now it's burning down.
