Street punx in the streets
I went down to the old watering hole, but couldn't get served 'cause I didn't have dough. Well I got shit-faced anyway off a 40 oz and live grenade.
Nihilist against this world. Violence against this world. Riot-ist against this world. Fighting fists against this world.
Everyday in the streets. Everyday fighting the police. Everyday kids like you and me. Misunderstood youth just tryin' to get our piece.

Our Crew
03:07

As I stare at the city lights, the glow seeps in my brain.
As I'm pacing down Center Street I hear someone call my name.
Well it's my crew on the corner and I know it's tight
Got my family all around me gonna have another good night.
Because our crew rolls deep our crew rolls fat, we've always got each others backs through the tryin' times we'll make it out alive.
Our crew runs thick and never thin because united we will win, and as the battle rages on our crew stands strong./ as the battle takes 'em all our crew stands tall.
As the boots stomp down the stairs goin to the basement show our crew will infect like a virus germs follow where we go.
Well we're dirty and rough and mighty unclean, I'll just take a look around and know this is my scene.
and when you pick me up from jail we won't stay silent, we'll give 'em hell!

Warzones
01:03
|

On a bus crammed front to back we're hauled off to work
Though there's barely room to breathe you know we work to live to serve
Trapped inside of cages with no hope for a way out because
Otherwise it's starve or lose your homes- without a doubt
And our cities have become war zones from the streets to the shop floor.
All the tension in the air we're set to explode like I hope the cops don't break down my door.
We live under an occupation of the police force
Where cops will wave their guns at you as they bust through your door
And if you call 'cause you've been robbed- you're just another suspect
They cause more problems than they solve- no wonder we don't trust them.

Jolie, Jolie, I wish you the very best.
You don't deserve that prison sentence.
I only knew you for a day.
I wish it didn't have to be this way.
I met you at Plan-It-X Fest
Said you came from Dallas Texas.
Drug laws there are inexplicable absurdities.
In the shoe you sit and wait
A lonely captive of the state
You beg for food and beds cuz of your diabetes. and they didn't care.
Mushrooms come with quite the price and eighth for 8 years of your life
2 years is the minimum for silly fungus.
They asked if you're afraid of rape and which sex you prefer to date
You said "No, and for the record I'm a lesbian I guess"
As if they really fucking cared...

Armed Joy

This world wasn't given to me, this world thrust upon me this world is not what I believe this greatness I cannot see.
as we transmit lies through computer screens
as we transmit lies as our IDs
blah blah blah I dont know street punk whatever
THIS SYSTEM TOOK A SHIT ON ME
this world wasn't chosen by me...
with a welcome smile it all unfolds
you're one of us now, now you've been told
I BELIEVE IN THE GREAT IDEOLOGY
WITH NO TURNING BACK AND SHIT ON ME
We create lies to make it better
We create lives to feel better
This world is not what I want. This world I will fight and taunt
This world I vow to destroy as we all discover armed joy.

Too High
01:00
|

|
Why do I eat when I'll only be hungry again?
Why do I drink when I know I'll be sober again?
Why do I try when I know that I'll just fail again?
Why try to fly when I know I'll fall down in the end?
Is my problem madness or is it sanity
Is my problem ignorance or is it apathy
Is my problem in my head
or it is because of it
Is my problem solvable or is it never meant to end?
It's just chemical impulses in my brain
Each chemical assigned a different name
We spend our lifetime living on a labeled rock
And I'm too high right now and I think all this bullshit in my head has got to stop.
