As I walk these streets I feel my past come back Project onto my eyes Colour black and white Time gone by, time lost Those who paid the cost Reflected in the sky I stop, I close my eyes Take back, what you took from me Pay back, you think that it was free? Stolen, in a time of weakness And now, it’s time for redress Take down, you can’t run and hide from this Break down, I won’t be denied Taken, in a storm for fury Executioner, judge and jury Born weak, but grew up strong I knew my time would come along Learned life’s game the hard way No I’ll never give, I’m here to stay Fighting to survive, try to stay alive, this is my life This is not a game, going down in flames, feel no shame Violence, booze and drugs, acting like a thug, only strength survives It’s either death or jail, If you die you fail, life is fear On these streets [x3] Life is real As I walk I feel my brothers close Those that fell are always by my side I live my life for them each day and night For the dead I’ll make them most of my life Fighting to survive, try to stay alive, this is my life This is not a game, going down in flames, feel no shame Violence, booze and drugs, acting like a thug, only strength survives It’s either death or jail, If you die you fail, life is fear As I walk these streets I feel my past come back Project onto my eyes Colour black and white Time gone by, time lost Those who paid the cost Reflected in the sky I stop, I close my eyes This goes out to all the fake bitches out there hiding behind mum, dad and computer screens. You wanna step up? Come and prove yourself Let’s fucking go! Wanna fight with me? I’ll take your life With my hands, my feet or with a knife I own these streets and I will make you see this When your face is broken into pieces I’ll smash your teeth, I’ll break your hands and face Make sure I put you in your proper place These streets are my place, my place of rest So step up son, put me to the test These streets [x3] Out on these streets Take back, what you took from me Pay back, you think that it was free? Stolen, in a time of weakness And now, it’s time for redress Take down, you can’t run and hide from this Break down, I won’t be denied Taken, in a storm for fury Executioner, judge and jury On these streets [x3] Life is real

Damned To Be 04:43
Since the day I was born I was destined to fight My fists were my truth, the difference from wrong and right Stand my ground, defending my life The schoolyard, the streets, constant both day and night Stood against the best, passed almost every test When it came to violence I always impressed To be respected, feared, I’d do anything The backyards, streets and cities were my ring All my life I have fought against myself To be a stronger man, to be a better man Sometimes I fail and I can’t call out for help Too much pride and fear, hard to see it clear So I fall back into how things used to be Hide myself inside, like the child that died Another whiskey and more cocaine for me Guess I’m just damned to be I’ve hurt the people who cared for me most Pushed them away, acted like I was lost Denied myself all their love and their friendship Told myself that I didn’t deserve it Tried to protect those in my family From the pain I feel, anger pure and real Became the thing that I hated most Shadow of a man, no father – just a ghost Now I see that’s not how it’s meant to be To be a stronger man, to be a better man I try to take control lose all my fear I’m still terrified, feel the child inside Do my best for tomorrow’s a better day Hold my head up high, yeah I gotta try But in the end it’s just how life is for me Guess I’m just damned to be All my life Fighting to survive Stay alive In this dark world Path I choose Never win just lose Broken truths TEAR IT DOWN!! All my life I have fought against myself To be a stronger man, to be a better man Sometimes I fail and I can’t call out for help Too much pride and fear, hard to see it clear So I fall back into how things used to be Hide myself inside, like the child that died Another whiskey and more cocaine for me Guess I’m just damned to be Damned to be X2 Born to fight, born to run Damned to be Drugs and booze, play to lose Damned to be Honour and pride, nowhere to hide Damned to be Respect through fear, death is near Damned to be Damned to be Damned to be Damned to be Guess I’m just damned to be

Yooooouuuu fucked/up/this/time I’m no longer toeing the line Shut up/Pack up/Do what you want Walk out and leave it behind Don’t let the door hit you on your way out So sick of this shit, I don’t mind Loyalty, brotherhood, family left Hold onto this in your mind No last chance (Not this time) No last chance (You won’t find) These/are/my/words I’m finding it hard to hold back Dismay/distrust Just go your way, Turn your back Act/big/walk/tall Beneath it, it’s all just an act Now here’s the truth, time to let loose Fiction into fact! No last chance (Not this time) No last chance (You won’t find) No last chance (Not this time) No last chance, No last chance Turing your back on your friends Means turning away from yourself Disrespect your family, you disrespect yourself Don’t act hardcore. When you're not hardcore It’s time to come clear and FACE THE TRUTH!!!! Write it down, Gonna set it free Yeah I’m gonna let it bleed Get it out, gonna give it all to you Time the whole world should see Time will come, truth will be spoken The hurt we feel fades away All that’s left is smashed and broken Tomorrows hurt will be felt today But in the end son We’re still family Heartbreak ends soon I know, you're still there for me Things seen, time shared, cannot be swept away Faith holds me strong Tomorrow is, another day No Last Chance!

Betrayed 02:07
Spread all the lies you breed Go and plant the seed You will not succeed You, tried to beat me down Treat me like a clown I will stand my ground Pushed against the wall Stand and watch me fall Is this what you want? You betrayed my trust Stabbed me in the back You're a fucking cunt Now I can’t stand the sight Of your dishonest face It makes me fucking sick Built on respect an pride Strength is on my side I won’t let this slide Pushed against the wall Stand and watch me fall Is this what you want? You betrayed my trust Stabbed me in the back You're a fucking cunt This song goes out to anyone who’s ever been stabbed in the back Backstabbed by anyone you ever cared about This song is for anyone who stood up for what they believed in and made a change This song is for anyone who’s ever felt BETRAYED!!! Pushed against the wall Stand and watch me fall Is this what you want? You betrayed my trust Stabbed me in the back You're a fucking cunt You're a cunt!
