I don’t care if you fight; I just care if you bleed. And what I expect of you, you will soon expect of me. And I will never surrender and you will never retreat So are you going to live on your knees or are going to die on your feet? When you meet God. Tell a joke to clear the air. When he asks you what you regret. Tell him you only had one of you to spare… I can smell your fear and I can tell that you’re scared. Don’t you die for your country, make them die for theirs. And don’t you carry that fear for the rest of your life, You just carry that weapon boy and try and stay alive. When you meet God. Tell a joke to clear the air. When he asks you what you regret. Tell him you only had one of you to spare… …Doctor I feel like a deck of cards; “sit down I’ll deal with you later.” …But Doctor, Doctor I feel like a bridge; “boy what’s come over you?” …Doctor, Doctor I feel like it curtains; “Man pull yourself together!” …

I was touch never to quit, and I am constantly reminded of it. I am constantly reminded to keep a stiff upper lip Cause I as sure as meet hell as I’d forget. By my means and all the means I had I appreciate the good case it comes with the bad And all I have is still intact Cause there’s no moving forward till there’s no going back. I was born to save myself. I was raised to know the difference between deception and stealth And I have found that rich means more than measurable wealth I was made to break the chain. By my means and all the means I had I appreciate the good case it comes with the bad And all I have is still intact Cause there’s no moving forward till there’s no going back. I pray I am more a man then a plan I pray I am more then one grain in an ocean of sand And I pray I get the chance I will do it all again Yea I pray for you and yours to understand. By my means and all the means I had I appreciate the good case it comes with the bad And all I have is still intact Cause there’s no moving forward till there’s no going back.

Weapon 03:34
It’s a weapon called deception This noise. This not circumstance This a choice. A weapon Fatal weapon my voice To use who I want as my toys. You got a lot of nerve Thinking this is what we deserve You’ve got a lot of guts To speak for the both of us. It’s a weapon called prevention In the right hands This not a farewell it’s a last dance A weapon Fatal weapon my glance To handle all of my business. You got a lot of nerve Thinking this is what we deserve You’ve got a lot of guts To speak for the both of us. … It’s a weapon Used to threaten the things I can’t kill I run on Nothing until I get my fill My weapon My intention That’s my skill To uses at my will My will. You got a lot of nerve Thinking this is what we deserve You’ve got a lot of guts To speak for the both of us.

Ponzi Scheme 03:08
Leave em’ be Leave em’ be It’s time to go home now. Ponzi Scheme Ponzi Scheme You’re out of control now. I found the best concept Want it all but don’t expect it yet I found the best revenge is when it ends You just start again Leave em’ be Leave em’ be It’s time to go home now. Ponzi Scheme Ponzi Scheme You’re out of control now. I found the best concept Want it all but don’t expect a cent I found the best revenge is when it ends You just start again Ponzi Scheme Leave em’ be Land of the free Ponzi Scheme

S.O.S. 02:47
An S.O.S this takes forever tell me what will make this better Take all you want from me. We engineered this sound you hear It’s getting stronger ear to ear and I pray that you pray for me. Been building up this steam for now They built me up to tare me down I will take all I want in exchange. I feel this is going to change I feel this is taking shape When it does I will replace your face. S.O.S. No time to rest there’s only tears and blood and sweet And what is left we will share what is left. An S.O.S. with every breath I am always screaming out my distress With an S.O.S.

She had no one to drive her home She liked that time alone She’d go where others go to be brave. She no one to keep her down She had no one to keep around and she caved. He had a fast car and sharper bones Then her heart as ever known Safest ride home suppose we go Their son he’s as fast as sound And nothings going to slow him down You should hear him hit that throttle now if you can. Have I ever told you that I choose you? Have I ever told what I was going to do for you? Have I ever told you what I’d go through? Have I ever told you that I know you? I Know you. It was a safe bet as safe bets get Wasn’t for sure but still legit Haven’t made it but making it by hand A life spent of compromise Now feels by design Cause it doesn’t break apart it divides in time. Have I ever told you that I choose you? Have I ever told what I was going to do for you? Have I ever told you what I’d go through? Have I ever told you that I know you? I Know you. … Have I ever told you that I choose you? Have I ever told what I was going to do for you? Have I ever told you what I’d go through? Have I ever told you that I know you? I Know you.

My friend the lonely one He had a loaded gun He asked who would have some fun Who could resist My friend the hypocrite He is sharp as the dualist tip Suggest that we pointed it Directly at God. It keeps raining bullets To no one’s surprise It keeps feeling useless But me and my friends we still gotta try. My friend the businessman Lets make a killing Well make more God willing and give you some d’oh My friend the basterds son He asked where we all came from He asked when it all is done where will we go? That’s for you to find out And someone else to know And though it keeps raining bullets It will turn into show... its going to get cold. My friends make me feel whole. My friends wont let me go. My friends you make me laugh My friends I’ve got your back My friends I appreciate that My friends and me.
