New World Disorder

1. Resist

"Free people will never remain free if 
they are not willing, if need be, to 
fight for their vital interests."

I watch your bullshit from the outside in, 
you disrespect and hate 
You think you're better than your fellow man,
Controlled by fear you seal your fate
How could you step on me, violate, 
desecrate and hate me
But I'm just like you, flesh and blood, 
I'm only human.

I resist the pressure to be who you want me to be
I resist the pressure, I resist so I am free.

I see right through your condescending ways, 
as you look down on me
But I could never stand and judge like you , 
I resist so I am free.
My peace of mind, peace of mind will set me free
But I'm just like you, flesh and blood, 
in need of revolution.
I resist so I am free. 

2. Switchback

Welcome to the rat race, people killing themselves
To get ahead of the pack, backstab and attack.
Out for self, the money, the power, the fame,
Competition and greed in a world without shame.
I stumble and fall along the path I've chosen,
I face my fears, I won't be broken.
Corrosion has a way of fucking with you sanity,
I do what I gotta to preserve my humanity.

Switchback-taking life as each day comes
Switchback-facing fears, I never run,
Switchback-never quit until I'm done
I'm the underdog and I will overcome.

Confrontation can break you down to your 
very last compound.
Beat you down, drag you round, break you
Refuse to bend, never ever let it take you
Over the edge where you can never break 
through.
Overcome, switchback, stand strong alone
The good, the bad, the truth, the unknown
Locked up at war with the demons within
I fight to live, I live to win.

The harder that I battle with life's deceit,
The stronger I stand on my own two feet.
If I allow the world to assimilate my mind,
Will my freedom be forever denied?
Will I no longer be free in my mind?

3. Salvation

Someday I hope to rise above material 
chains which hold me down
To turn my anger into love and keep my 
feet planted on the ground.
To undo stigmas societies branded, 
misconceptions about being a man.
To be grateful, take nothing for granted, 
to live the truth as best I can.

I seek the truth whatever that may be.
I seek the answers to questions, please God help me.

To look at people and see no color, vision 
clear of prejudice or spite,
To treat people just like my brother, for 
this I pray with all my might.
To learn to let go of all my fears and 
learn to embrace all of my tears,
To search for faith and humility, to walk 
the path which sets me free

Salvation, from society, damnation, have mercy on me.

So many lies I told, so many lives I've sold.
So far away from who I am I never understand.
So many things I regret, so many things that I let
Take me away from myself, too late to take it back.

So many dreams I had, so many lives I've lived
So many friends I said goodbye forever
So many times I wish, so many times I dream.
Do it again, I swear I'd never.

In my quest to uncover the truth the deepest 
wounds get left behind
As I seek serenity from the war, from the war 
inside my mind.

4. END OF MY ROPE

Where to run to, where to hide, much too full 
to swallow my pride
But I'm still haunted by something inside as 
if another part of me has died.

Paralyzed, I close my eyes, the pain inside 
surrounds me,
Petrified, life fades away, at the end of 
my rope I'm waiting.

Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone, empty 
inside, out of control.
My heart a void, my empty soul, until it's 
filed I'll never be whole.
How did things ever get so bad, sinking 
empty, full of despair
I find myself alone and scared, in a world 
where nobody cares.

A hopeless end, afraid deep inside
Relief from my pain, the end a suicide?
The tears I've cried have left me blind
I yearn to find peace, a presence of mind.

5. ALL FOR NONE

I said I'd stand with you forever if 
you needed me 
Help, arm in arm, hand over fist and 
carry you when necessary
Like a fool I thought we'd walk tall 
forever all as one
When the going got tough you stopped 
pushing and turned to run.

I tried so hard, so sad to watch you drown.

You turned and pointed fingers at the 
truest friend you ever had,
And I prayed to God you'd find relief 
from the things that made your life sad.
We were down forever, together forever 
all as one,
But when the time came to step up and do 
it right, I saw you turn and run
I tried so hard, to help you hold it down
You never helped yourself, so sad to 
watch you drown.
I tried so hard, to help you save your life
You never helped yourself, shut the door 
and say good -bye.

You and me, eye to eye, hands tied 
together, live or die
Walk tall forever, all as one, never again, 
you turned to run.

All for None

6. BREAKDOWN

Unjustified persecution of my free mind.
I'm horrified, the cruel nature of you 
and your kind
Crucified for just trying to be myself,
Suicide, I'd rather die than live in your hell.

I will not break, I will not bend,
I will not go quietly, I will never bow down to them.

I close my eyes, I can see more clearly,
You criticize the things I hold dearly
You victimize because you fear me
It's your demise, you should have let me be.

You won't break me down.

The harder I swim against the tide the 
more it pulls me down
Feel the pressure on my life, as I 
struggle and fight not to drown.
Why do you, why do you try to break me, 
you'll never break me down
I'll never let you break me, you'll never 
break me down.

The more I try to live my life the harder 
you are on me
There is no wrong there is no right, what 
will it take for you to see?

7. INNER FEAR ON

See the future, hate being unsure
Feel insecure, life without a cure
Invade my body like it was your own
A losing battle when challenged alone.

I'm sick and tired of losing someone I 
love and admire
I'm fucking tired of losing someone like you.

How can you feel it unless it happens to you?
Watching someone suffer there's nothing you can do.
Sit and wait with love and hate, emotions, 
they destroy.
I question my faith, how can a God, how 
can a God take?

How can I worship a God who takes life away
And leaves nothing but pain that never 
goes away.
I lie in bed each night, struggle to 
fall asleep,
Memories in my head, I pray my soul to keep.
Tried an true, I get up everyday and say,
Life's too short, no time to look the 
other way.
Gotta face what's inside, I gotta do away
With all the feelings behind my frozen 
heart, I pray.

8. ABANDON IN PLACE

I will never forget what it is that you did to me,
And I will never understand why
You insist upon inflicting pain and 
agony on me, forever everlasting.

There's no way out, I'll never break free
I will never forgive and forget how you 
abandoned me.

All my fucking life I've kept my head held high,
Respected myself through thick or thin,
Never asked anybody for anything.
I just want to live with peace and dignity
But you insist on trying to bring me down.
Where were you when I needed you,
You were never around.
I put my faith in you and you let me down.

9. SKIN

Out of sight and out of mind, when you 
look at yourself do you find
Everything you want to be or do you see 
what I see.
Too late to change your life, step 
outside and say good-bye
To everything you left behind, what you 
seek you may not find.

As I shed my skin, I leave you behind
As I shed my skin, I go on to a better life.

Indecision fills my head, all the things 
I left unsaid,
My heart is letting go, my pain you'll 
never know.
If you love something set it free, what 
I love you took from me.
Try to look, but you can't see, try to 
put the past behind me.

How could you think it lasts forever, 
I sit and watch as you decline
Can't you see it's gone forever, out 
of sight and out of mind.

Twisted, broken, I sit and watch as you decline
Help me, help yourself, out of sight 
and out of mind.

I see you now on a different plane; broken, 
used up, pathetic, in pain,
You scream and fight, deny the shame, your 
selfish heart is the one to blame.
SO much time has filled the space since 
we've been standing face to face.
Wasted breath I've tried to explain, 
still I see not a thing has changed.

10. CAMOUFLAGE

Camouflage you close your eyes, 
hiding in plain sight
Wrapped tightly in blankets of lies, 
live whatever life you synthesize
Disguise the truth about yourself, 
bury it six feet deep,
Bring to life your deceit and stealth, 
lock the door and throw away the key.

Hide behind your lies, I see through your disguise
It leads to your demise, I see it in your eyes.

Disarray your life slips into, 
falling apart at the seams,
You can't understand what's going on, 
who you once were is forever gone.
On and on the tangled web you weave, 
running from your past
You listen to whatever you want to believe
Too late karma comes around to you so fast.

All you do is lie, cheat, deceive
Everyone you hate, need believe
All you do is lie.

Flippin around the truth, you're slipping;
Tighten the noose around your neck is ripping,
Anything you wish, take a pen and script in
Manufacture the truth all you do is lie…

11. DECLINE

It's easy to say we scream for change 
when everyday we act the same.
How can a troubled government make us scapegoats
When we don't go out and vote.
We're spewing, spouting, condemnation
That the world we live in is a racist nation
Since our opinions contradict our statements,
We show our prejudiced affiliations.

Decline of civilization
A crime against humanity.
In all our lies and our self pity
It's time to stop our apathy.

You say you're a victim in pain
But you always prey on someone to blame.
You want to end the suffering for the 
hungry and the poor
When they ask for help you slam the door.
You want housing for the public good
But not in your own neighborhood.
Industrial pollution makes you sick,
But you ain't got time for politics.

You want the world to be a better place
For your children, your people, your friends or race,
But selfish reasons drive us all, it's 
all for one and none for all.
The truth means nothing in a world full of lies,
Hypocrisy is man's demise.

12. CYCLE OF ABUSE

Treated unfairly, you resent everybody 
that has so much
Of the things in life that were taken 
away from you.
So wrapped up in your misery, you never 
feel the love that surrounds you,
So wrapped up in your misery, you never 
notice that life passed you by.

You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate.

Left all alone, ignored by the one you 
need attention from 
For the things in life you never 
achieved on your own.
He can't be bothered to care for you, to 
hold and respect and be there for you,
He can't be a real father to you, some 
day he'll regret all the time that went by.

You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
And I've always hated to see you hurt inside.
So much I try to help you but you push me away,
Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate
Locked inside a world of hate.

Beaten down for as long as you remember
Your life was analyzed, criticized and dismembered
Your hopes and dreams were suffering you've severed
The pain you've endured, the suffering 
you've weathered
You find it so hard to pull yourself together
To face the world to your fears you surrender,
You dream of a day you'll overcome and sever,
The cycle of abuse and the pain you've 
carried forever.

You're not alone, there's so many 
others that cared for you,
So many things in our lives you 
helped us all get through
It means so much to me that you're 
here to share in my life
And clam my fears, it means so much 
to me that you're alive,
As you hold my child and wipe the 
tears from your eyes.

13. DOGS OF WAR

Apocalypse fills my head, fire and smoke 
turns the sky blood red,
Thermonuclear warhead, chemical warfare, 
disease widespread.
People kneel to the might of a figure 
head, mother earth lies silent on her 
death bed
Into the fire the blind are led, five 
billion people will soon be dead.

War is no solution to the conflicts that we face
The end of our evolution, revolution, 
resist the hand of fate.

Armageddon, the end draws near, reality 
becomes our biggest fear
The future once seemed so free and clear, 
darkest hour, life disappears.
Punishment for greed and lust, mass 
genocide, holocaust
Foretold predictions of the end upon us, 
ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

We wage a war which can't be won,
Apocalyptic suicide, what have we done?

Fire, one day a great fire shall come
Rain, a cleansing rain will wash away the scum
War, blood thirsty savages we've become
Revelation, judgment night and now we're done.

I pride myself on my will to survive, 
I will fight to stay alive
We've got the power, destroy or create,
Terminate ourselves with our love for hate,
Every night I kneel down and pray,
There's nothing I can do to make it go away,
We march for peace and scream for change
But the dogs of war will forever remain.

14. NEW WORLD DISORDER (Featuring Sticky Fingaz)

[SASHA]
Hey, yo fuck it, I'm rollin in a 4-barrel 
Camaro, toward the Triboro, eyes 
narrow East River flow with marrow, along 
side the bridge zombies
pushing bodies in wheel barrels, bitches 
sterile follow on crutches of
rusted arrows try to breath through 
esophagus stuffed with sparrows,
listen to the wheeze of hysterical pleads 
for miracles. Time to overthrow
the imperial, terrarembrium, the spherical, 
I turn the steering wheel 
and pull into a 7-Eleven, met up with Billy, 
Danny, rob and Evan from the
fucking Bio, yo we down for survival with 
acid rain drenched skin infested 
by termites, hermaphrodites on bikes swing 
spikes, think twice as I 
try to pacify the pariah beside the driver 
and Shotgun Kelly flips the visor, time to 
devise a plan to reverse the demise of man 
before he's met by the last set of the sun, 
Armageddon, no question to answer, disaster
results from behavior patterns. Earth lay 
raped, escape to Saturn in a capsule, 
thirteen days of travel. Upon arrival 
plans unravel, imbalance
of chemical pheromones, clones with no 
genitals surround us, we can't
fuck them, no means of reproduction. 
I hear a scream and turn in that 
direction, 33-23-33, I see seven, 
coming toward us, to reward us…

Disorder, enter the Millennium, time gets shorter
Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder

[Lord Humongous]
Armageddon, anew death is dawnin', I 
like the smell of napalm in the morning, 
four riders of the apocalypse descend 
from the north, a tear in
my eye, I behold a pale horse. Armageddon, 
no time to cry we all die as the sky turns 
red, the missiles start to fly. Factions 
take action, eleven
families rule, millennium approaches, 
survival of the roaches. Body
armor will make you feel calmer or safe from 
the drama, deploy stealth
military bombers, ass out, yet down on your 
knees and pray; illuminati
takes your soul on the eve of judgment day as 
the armies of darkness 
irradicate life and we all go to hell and satan 
fucks your wife. Strife, terror 
without a minute to pray, human beings at odds, 
peace becomes disarray, I'm humongous from Mad 
Max, Lord of the Wasteland with crazy ill
troops all at my command, don't you ever fall 
victim to my master plan,
I'm the dealer of death and here's your 
mothafuckin' hand.

[D-Lux]
I'm ready to take back whatever they 
sold ya cuz the scheme is a secret
So nobody ever told ya, an underground 
illuminated tribe of radicals
Ready to take forth and feast like cannibals, 
animals, huffing the fumes
Of rotting flesh exhumed from the corpses of 
presidents, dissidents and
Fools with a one way ticket from the temple of 
doom, dark sides of
Moons and ill atomic booms leave the earth all 
shakin and full of
Wounds from Krakatoa east of Java to Camaroon, 
and coming soon to a
Theater near you, the end of everything 
that we once knew.

[Billy]
The grand finale strap my body with TNT, 
take the president and his
Bitch with me tearing down the walls of 
this conspiracy, fuck skull and
Bones and illuminati. Irradication of the 
land of the tree but I'm the
Brave, ain't going out like a motherfuckin' 
slave, neobarbaric post-
Apocalyptic war, ground zero Brooklyn, the 
world at war.

[Sticky Fingaz]
I wake up, bare codes on my forehead, it's a 
living nightmare, my families
all dead. I gotta call Fred but no dial tone, 
I'm I the wild zone, I'm out for 
self cuz I'm gonna die alone, this is madness 
I'm drooling with the lock
jaw, my elevator don't go to the top floor, I 
hold my breath cuz the O2
killed, I'm suffocating, I can't pay my oxygen 
bill. There's no tomorrow, I 
wish a nigga murder me, the president declared 
a state of emergency,
the coast guard bangin at my front door, I got 
homemade bombs if they
want war. There's no sun, they put a fucking 
chip in me, I'm a clone, mattera
fact it's a different me, I'm high tech kid, 
you get a bomb in the mail, so
if you die today then I'll see you in hell, 
I'll see you in hell, see you in hell.
