Time won't change for me
it's healing nothing
and im learning ot live with that
luck has no time for me
but im losing nothing
nothing there to lessen what I've gained
nothing, nothing can take it back
take it to another place
when time had no attack
I wont change for time
I've healed myself
wont give it credit;
no thanks to you
you wont get through on me
and I'm making this clear

running out of time again where did you go wrong this time?
when your problems overwhelm you go get drunk it's party time
take a quaalude, relax your mind relax your body too!
run from problems but you'll never get away
no one loves you, and you wonder why?
sitting there with your mouth full of beer
your eyes are glazed, your face is red
who's gonna pick you up and use you for tonight?
and when you're on the streets with a needle in your arm
selling your body for another fix
who's gonna pick you up and take you home with them tonight?
not me!
running out of breath again you're an old maid, but you're only 15
you're losing your little girl's charm cry all night
but you'll never get it back don't be afraid, it's not too late
save yourself, i need you here
wearing off, wearing out i can't think about this cause it makes me sick.

Hanging out is what we do best
at the frick the lofts or the tex
movie night nintendo night 4th street every single night
the best times of my life
wake up early and chill at shafer court
holla at smokes and joke on the bike dorks
undacova brotha vcu cops on our tails
they don't know we're unstoppable
richmond- fist city
va-i'll never leave
guerilla crew- fuck you
richmond-always on top
swinging off ropes
flying out trees
jumping off bridges
pony pasture cuts our knees
chased by bums and ghosts on bridges
pony pasture cuts our knees
chased by bums and ghosts on belle isle
just a day in the life on the james
west grace street
never know who you'll see
late night
frat fights front porch cary street
richmond belongs to me
the best place ill ever be
Richmond- fist city
V.A- ill never leave
guerilla crew-fuck you
richmond-non stop

The shadows are growing longer in this room.
The door is locked, you can't come in.
These nights the radio is an old friend, a comrade,
in this monastic life as I live like a hermit inside my own head.
Darkness brings me peace.
Silence comforts me.
Alone in this room, I'm the only company I want to keep.
The phone won't ring tonight.
I'm willing to sit still, patient and mute.
Silent in its cradle while these four walls cradle me in their off-white embrace.
Below me cars pass slowly, white noise in the black night.
Darkness brings me peace.
Silence comforts me.
Alone in this room, I'm the only company I want to keep.
Keep your eyes to yourself.
They don't look good on me.

i'm not your steppin' stone
hey hey hey hey not your steppin' stone
you're trying to make your mark in society
using all the tricks that you used on me
you're reading all those high fashion magazines
the clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes
i'm not your stepping stone
hey hey hey hey hey not your stepping stone
when I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
now you're walking 'round like you're front page news
you've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
but you won't find my name in your book of who's who
i'm not your stepping stone
hey hey hey hey hey not your stepping stone

goddamn
don't you look me in the eyes
you've got nothing but a twisted understanding
of what it takes to follow your heart
you're just an actor playing a part
called your bluff straight from the start
apostle, appearance is your only salvation
believe what you hear
from the mouth of madness
you surround yourself with a life of emptiness
run yourself in circles to try to please the world
you're just an actor playing a part
the hands of judgement tear you apart
apostle, appearance is your only salvation
believe what you hear
from the mouth of madness
the shepherd leads the flock to slaughter
but i won't follow
they sway the masses like blades of grass
i see the weak, they fall to their knees
a generation afraid to pay the cost
of thy righteous holocaust
obey the words of your false gods
follow

've seen the free which you enslave
The walking which you keep chained
I've seen the growth which you keep caged and I've seen the minds that go un-raged
I've seen the body robbed of soul, just to fuel your control
I've seen the standing knocked to their knees, and I see the human beings you treat like machines
Machinist
I am not, I am not, I am not machine
Machinist
I am, I am, I am human being
A stagnant life's a victory for the lover of life that never breeds
Perpetuate, obliterate those addicted to living on their knees
The dealers deplete you, the dealers beat you like a drum without a tone
You're just skin and bones until you say no more
Unlike the silent machines who won't settle the score
Unlike the lifeless objects they want you to be
You want your object, well you fucking got it
I could be the knife in your back
The noose around your neck
I could be the bullet racing through your skull but I'd rather be the force of my spoken word
Let your voices form the weapons
No silence
No compliance
No compliance
In defiance of the rape of growth

It's a different world and it's different times
everyone's fucked, losing their minds
no one's got their heads on, no one is thinking straight
it's you and me in this world of hate
won't follow your rules, embrace your ways
or believe a fucking word you say
the way we see our world is better than yours
everyone of us has something to fight for...
and we will fight!
we have the one up on them
with our dedication they could never win
I know that we have the smarter minds
we're not the blind being led by the blind
what do you care for?
what do you stand for?
is there anything outside your cage?
I'm gonna fight this world til I die
and I'll never give in because I'll never agree
no, you can't tell us that we're wrong
no, we're too fucking strong!
