Little Homie
Little homie ride alone, so far from home
fuck it, because all roads lead to Rome
took a detour, since still caught in a war zone
need a cure, so surprised you send the drone
where are the brethren, disowned by his own
go to war fearless, strapped with a stone
we giants, so we don’t play with the gnome
sit back pondering and let my thoughts roam
little homie can’t no longer stand this
they came to take lives, not yours but his
abandoned, life’s full of lies and bandits
confused and caught in the circumstances
some are...

Fear the Fire
My hypothesis is, be brave but fear the fire burnin’
can you carry the burden, when you can’t bury the hurtin’
don’t believe in promises, cuz in life only death is certain
do right & hold no regrets, before finally closin’ the curtain
it’s do or die, if you dare to swim against the current
confused but determined, know that truth ain’t transparent
don’t run with the rat or the snake, they are dirty and fake
regardless of what’s at stake, they do it for their own sake
like politicians, they don’t ask for permissions, they just take
like a bird...

Shameless
They don’t like you, but are too scared to show true colors
so they’ll do it behind you, and blame it on all the others
their greatest fear is to see the mob unite & rise as brothers
put you on a pedestal, suddenly respectable, if you follow orders
and entertain, might even visit you during the election campaign
but when the cameras left, tell me, who will be popping champagne
once successful, some suddenly forget from where they came
a generation caught on cane, no honor left, they’ll die for fame
once so strong and powerful, but now all so tame,...

Enlightenment
Wrong or right, cowards coldly killing kids, it ain’t aight
from favor to failure, once traumatized kids contemplate suicide
expect them to grow and abide, while acting like Jekyll and Hyde
the principles you preach day and night, you gladly set aside
what do you think happens to kids witnessing bodies torn apart
turn to an outlaw, doomed to downfall, if you decide not to ride
rather, write about man’s right, follow me, as truth comes to light
the fear doesn’t disappear just because it hasn’t been said out loud
we’ve embarked on the wrong route, can’t no...

Medieval Minds
When you humiliate a peaceful people, you place a seed of evil
medieval thoughts and ideas dressed up and dubbed legal
once the cathedral sanctioned murder of innocent people
power and greed, these ideas are not religious but primeval
the strong strive for freedom, while war is chosen by the feeble
there will not be peace in the world before men are equal
the most self-righteous and pride is often the most deceitful
politicians and power, that is lethal, like heroine and a needle
what nation would purposefully punish an entire population
without...

Came a Long Way
Minds led astray, wonder why you’d let a traitor portray
who you are, mirror yourself in them, and fade away
the land of the free and the home of the brave, a cliché
and they won’t hesitate to slay, so prepare for foul play
you came a long way, but where exactly are you today
when I look at you, I see death, destruction and decay
had a life, kids and a beautiful wife, when they took you away
death is your destination if you dare to disobey, they’d say
so some decided to obey, while others kneeled to pray
you’d think these days are passé, think...

Loss of innocence
Remember this, nations don’t have friends, they have interests
so you really think your existence makes much of a difference
at all times, in war and peace, experience is of great significance
so why wouldn’t you be the one to set an example of brilliance
man and nation have one thing in common; loss of innocence
let me say it again, history is written with a colored pen
it must be out of ink, cuz you ain’t mentioned my friend
walk with peace, you ain’t a pacifist, but you choose the path
so do the math, who will you blame when you feel the wrath ...

Life
Life is where you are now, not where you have been
but you don’t know where to end or where to begin
it began from within, live life in ignorance and sin
truth and lies, beautifully disguised, like a twin
watch out for the revanchist, while enjoying that win
‘everyone wants joy and happiness, no one wants pain
but you can’t have a rainbow, without a little rain’
no need to explain, without sacrifice there is no gain
sure enough, some got it tough, others got it tougher
trust, I don’t bluff, since sometimes we all suffer
haters huff and rebuff,...

Wicked World
Thanks to honest journalists we know how the occupations go
how colonies were really run, how parliament is a puppet show
where speaking the truth has consequences, so you let it go
where war lords run the show, cuz politicians long ago sold their soul
where soldiers are ready to sacrifice everything to achieve their goal
where governments openly conduct population control, the 3rd world
live with the illusion of freedom and rights, yeah right, or so we are told
oblivious to the fact that media mold, too late when it is about to unfold
wealth is a...

Marked Man
Push a peaceful person, and he’ll pull a piece, I guarantee
state sanctioned murder committed by police, we ain’t free
the free world, where value of life decrease, guess few agree
useless leaders lead us through war and peace, but few can see
nobody need us to send troops overseas, images of imperial legacy
man wants to live in peace, ask the Vietnamese, they got the recipe
kids still born deformed, no peace, but at least they got democracy
epitome of Western disease, dreams slowly decease, guilty of hypocrisy
the will of people is strong as a palm tree,...

Ghetto Kids
God Bless the child, because no kid is born racist or ignorant
a nation beguiled, every infant is born pure and innocent
trying to survive, then came the instant that turned him militant
he lived through predicament , and I guess you can predict the end
don’t judge that gent, he’ll have plenty of time to think and repent
the judge pounding the sounding block, 25 to life in a cell block
stupid as fuck, paying the price for robbing a store with a Glock
raising hell around the clock, this lifestyle will get you locked
no bail, yell fail, but too late,...

A Moment of Silence
A nation will grow through trials and tragedy
eye for an eye, and then the last gasp of the galaxy
civilian casualty hard to grasp, united as family
citizen or not, we all go back to one thing, humanity
and agony feels the same, regardless of nationality
the wicked will win when we lose faith and fall for fallacy
follow your path, and we’ll see who is right about reality
candle for Copenhagen, and everyone who died innocently
remember bullets don’t judge, they murder indiscriminately
a moment of silence, for the victims of mindless violence ...
