Rat Race 02:04
Living off of government assistance Still got my back against the wall Crushed by the sea that surrounds me Will I rise or will I fall When I'm swimming in a cesspool of corruption Violence, lies and deceit We are the voice beneath the alleyway We are the rats beneath your feet, oh I am a member of the smallest minority Whoa aye ooh ooh ooh ooh I am a member of the smallest minority Whoa aye ooh ooh ooh The concrete it crumbles beneath me Standing ten feet tall The system will never defeat me Unless it defeats us all We are the voice of the new generation Caged, waiting to break loose Another slip of my tongue Another knot in my noose I am a member of the smallest minority Whoa aye ooh ooh ooh ooh I am a member of the smallest minority Whoa aye ooh ooh ooh (Musical break) I am a member of the smallest minority Whoa aye ooh ooh ooh ooh I am a member of the smallest minority Whoa aye ooh ooh ooh

Vice Grip 01:51
It's hard for me to breathe My chest filled with debris And yet I fill my lungs up with smoke It's painful when I cough Exhale toxic exhaust All I seem to do is gag and choke My life is flashing before me It's rising up I'm rising up My life is flashing before me I'm gonna die if I keep this up I'll have another Scotch Please put it on the rocks These vice grips, they just won't let me go I'll drown my miseries That have been haunting me I'll wreck my fucking car and crash the show My life is flashing before me It's rising up I'm rising up My life is flashing before me I'm gonna die if I keep this up (x2)

Trembling on a city sidewalk The air so cold I can barely breathe Stuck in the freezer with the cocaine freaks And the track mark junkies You've gotta give up your safety Before you can surrender your freedom There's a demon inside your head And he's challenging you to feed him Riding riding riding through the night From the north end to the west side Cross the river for the front street buy Lockdown in the county jail I see you trembling in your cell While these four walls have helped you realize A hole consuming you inside And you'll sit tremble and shake As you serve out your 90 days But when the bars swing open there's no freedom inside You'll hop on the first needle and ride Riding riding riding through the night From the north end to the west side Cross the river for the front street buy You're a river city rat, a heroine junkie All the results of a high school flunky And if I fuck up, it's me not you Just like Snoop said nigga "sad but true" Riding riding riding through the night From the north end to the west side Cross the river for the front street buy

The Kids 02:31
Those kids are crazy Getting out of hand Maybe its because they've got no discipline 'Cause the parents try to blame it On everything except the mood their kids are in (????) Don't listen to them they're lying to you Read between the lines you know its true

They put me in position to load up my ammunition This condition that we're living is headed for a change Economical distrust is causing people to bust shots On anyone in point firing range I see a revolution and I think it's the solution Now it's back to the constitution from once which we came Republican and Democrat, money and power hungry Even though they seem so different they're exactly the same America has fallen down Scraped the knee of liberty And in the blood we drown There's money and power No love of the heart The feds will set their price And debt will do us part Can we endure? Now there's speculation for future generations The super inflation is reaching record breaking heights The government is in control of health and the election poll Now is not the time to sleep let's open our eyes It's a missionaries time there's revolutionaries stationed In areas that you could never fathom to find It's time to fight back this war isn't Iraq Let's hold America accountable for her crimes! America has fallen down Scraped the knee of liberty And in the blood we drown There's money and power No love of the heart The feds will set their price And debt will do us part Can we endure (x3)

Radio Groove 03:00
Nothing to do, in this beat-up lonely old town The walls are caving in and my feet are stuck like glue To the ground! Whenever I get up, I get knocked back down That's why my radio is playing that sound Whenever things don't go my way I let the radio play Something that will make us move My radio plays a reggae groove This little boy, he asked a dollar of me Old dirty socks ooooooh He had on his feet He smiled, as he danced To the jukebox He played a song that his heart would conceive Whenever things don't go my way I let the radio play Something that will make us move My radio plays a reggae groove

Take A Stand 02:43
Everywhere you look the enemy is on a rise The people in this country too blind, can’t open their eyes Your powers being taken, along with your rights The military’s on their side so who will fight? No one, no one it’s true The power and initiative well it starts with me and you Take a stand boy this aint red or blue No one will stand up but you How are you to know, what to expect Political icons we all (?) are hidden behind the press Its just a scam for voters, politicians at a glance They try to (???) stance No one, no one it’s true The power and initiative well it starts with me and you Take a stand boy this aint red or blue No one will stand up but you Everywhere you look the enemy is on a rise The people in this country too blind, can’t open their eyes Your powers being taken, along with your rights The military’s on their side so who will fight? No one, no one it’s true The power and initiative well it starts with me and you Take a stand boy this aint red or blue No one will stand up but you

This Town 01:38
Woke up this morning and I put my shoes on One foot at a time I lit my cigarette, I took my first draw And thought to myself is this really my life I won't let this town drag me down no more I won't let this town drag me down no more Well I've got friends and I've got enemies Too many people here who tried to deceive me Too many faces and Too many names How could this unjustice go unchanged? I won't let this town drag me down no more I won't let this town drag me down no more Well I keep walking with my head held high As my senses begin to fray Oh I wish I could just leave this place BUT ALL THAT WAITS FOR ME HERE IS MY GRAVE! I won't let this town drag me down no more I won't let this town drag me down no more

Deception 03:48
Pitting us against each other violence sets the stage When truth is slung down to the ground, ignorance escalates A way of life to follow on a TV screen display A way of life to follow taught from an adolescent age We desire things that pass worth nothing when we die Instead there's no more solace and compassion thrown aside It's just an image burned into the brains of human kind They're distorting your mind Now our chance is rising so stand up face your fear A toxic lust surpassing greed that worsens every year Through commercial ads and news campaigns or politics its all the same An agenda force fed down your throat, but were the ones to blame If no one bought into the lies where would we be today? A better off society the world a safer place Now its only getting worse we're running out of time They're distorting your mind
