This vicious cycle’s way out of control , Keep your head up! Domestic violence grips the stranglehold It’s time to stand up! A battlefield inside a broken home , It’s time to rise up! Spill your rage inside an empty soul .. Time for retribution! Violence is golden! If you know how to use it Violence is golden! No way to diffuse it Violence is golden! Broken bones and bruises Stand up for the beat down , broken abused kid! The clutch of grudges just won’t go away, Keep your head up! Same old shit, just another day, It’s time to stand up! Respect is lost, all love has gone astray, It’s time to rise up! You blow a fuse it all ends today, Grant yourself absolution!!!

Bad Blood 03:51
Rats get fat And good men die The words spoken have cost your life Was it worth it The pain you caused Rats got no one And life you lost We had your back Thru thick and thin But you ratted out when you couldn’t win The trust is broken it can’t be undone The streets are cold Nowhere to run Thought you were hard A real shot caller Your just a bitch Mother fucking cop caller You took an oath Like all of us But you couldn’t stand Hard for the cause I should’ve known I should’ve seen The yellow streak And stench of greed Always acting You played the part Fucking Rat A snitch with no heart Live your life Running, hiding Look in the mirror Ain't no smiling You know deep down The truth is real There’s nothing left And that’s the deal The only choice Is to make amends That’s the day that your life ends! On your knees Total shock Kiss the barrel Of the holy glock!

Your parents brought you life But love you never knew Emptiness has cursed you Haunting your every move Born into a life Of poverty and despair Brought into the world Without love no one cares Left on your own At a very early age No one knows the pain inside Until it turns to rage Powerless to fight it And things aren’t going well Sends you south of heaven Each day a living hell The pressure of this life Is pounding in your head Suicides the answer Are you really better off dead Choice is all we have I hope you make yours right No one wants to bury you No one wants to see you die

Isabella 03:12
I’m the summer of 84 Before the punks and skinhead war, Hanging out and having laughs Starting riots and getting smashed Skinheads down isabella street Gotta keep six, cops on the beat This is how we passed the time, Running wild and committing crimes The back alley boys out on a spree, Hit the beaches where the skinheads meet In the markets and alleys too Out for aggro, always on the move Boots and braces bloodied up the street Not the crew you’d wanna meet They were the bastards sons So many of em dead and gone

Dead Inside 03:58
You got no feelings You’re dead inside Empty emotionless Totally fried Sitting there looking With big empty eyes You open your mouth To speak only lies Can’t stand the truth Child like mind Heart black as stone So dead inside These words are hard But are they untrue No feelings of love Not even for you Where does it come from The damage of yours Heart cold as stone And so full of fear Won’t show them weakness Don’t let them catch on Calm on the surface Like nothing is wrong This is your life And what have you got Can’t stand it alone Alone in your heart You played your hand And you didn’t win Empty emotionless A bitter grin
6.
Freedom 04:56
They take away your freedom It’s hell to live for you But I think you’ll like it This room ain’t got no view A cold and lonely place Where no one is your friend This is where you stay Until the dying end Punished for a crime They said you did wrong 25 to life man That shit is too long Sentenced by a system Of corruption and hate They don’t understand you They just lock you away Now you’re out of sight So you are out of mind Ever get the feeling You’ve been left behind A thousand blank eyes Burn into your soul You just stare back Chilled to the bone In a week or two You learned to play the game You are just a number You no longer have a name It’s a life of survival Keep your back up against the wall Never let them see ya stumble And don’t you ever fucking fall Trapped in a world Madness everywhere Time keeps on ticking But you are unaware
