Helmet & House Of Pain
<b>Just Another Victim</b>
Victimized
But you're in bed
Stumble out
And run dead
If it ever paid
To self start
Enviroment
Make you smart
Just another victim
Just another victim
Just another victim, kid
I heard it once
But not before
Begging off
And livin' bored
My hands are tied
Webbed feet again
Fell in behind
And claim us dead
Just another victim
Just another victim
Just another victim
Just another victim
Cast this
In spite of truth
Give it up
I'll lie to you
Blame and flame this
Turnid stat (???)
Pointed finger
You fall apart
Just another victim
Just another victim
Just another victim
Just another victim
You played yourself
Now you're pointin' fingers
How i've robbed and raped ya
Bruised and scraped ya
But those are just lies
Cause in your eyes
You've been victimized
It's how you size it up
You disguise it up
And try to make it look real
To cover up the low self esteem you feel
Introspection
And afterthought
Swimmin' in guilt's your favorite sport
But now you're caught up
In the undertow,
You never knew a man
Could sink so low
But now you know
Cause you're John Doe
In a black bag
A tag on your toe
I built the House
I felt the Pain
You're victimized
But got no one to blame
Just another victim
You're just another victim, kid
Just another victim
You're just another victim, kid
Holy diver
I'm a surviver
Feeling like DeNiro
In Taxi Driver
With Jodi Foster
And Harvy Keitel
Looks like I'm walkin'
Through a livin' hell
So spark that owl
And I'll get lifted
Feelin the effects
Of what my spliff did
Cause I'm gifted
I read Sun Tzu
I bought a gun too
So you'll never come too
The weight of the world
Ridin' on my shoulders
Cause I'm a soldier
I thought I told ya
You're just another victim
You're just another victim, kid
You're just another victim
You're just another victim, kid

"I Can"
[Kids]
I know I can (I know I can)
Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
If I work hard at it (If I work hard it)
I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be)
[Nas]
Be, B-Boys and girls, listen up
You can be anything in the world, in God we trust
An architect, doctor, maybe an actress
But nothing comes easy it takes much practice
Like, I met a woman who's becoming a star
She was very beautiful, leaving people in awe
Singing songs, Lina Horn, but the younger version
Hung with the wrong person
Gotta astrung when I heard when
Cocaine, sniffing up drugs, all in her nose
Coulda died, so young, now looks ugly and old
No fun cause when she reaches for hugs people hold they breath
Cause she smells of corrosion and death
Watch the company you keep and the crowd you bring
Cause they came to do drugs and you came to sing
So if you gonna be the best, I'ma tell you how,
Put your hands in the air, and take a bow
[Chorus - 2x (Nas and Kids)]
I know I can (I know I can)
Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
If I work hard at it (If I work hard it)
I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be)
[Nas]
Be, B-Boys and girls, listen again
This is for grown looking girls who's only ten
The ones who watch videos and do what they see
As cute as can be, up in the club with fake ID
Careful, 'fore you meet a man with HIV
You can host the TV like Oprah Winfrey
Whatever you decide, be careful, some men be
Rapists, so act your age, don't pretend to be
Older than you are, give yourself time to grow
You thinking he can give you wealth, but so
Young boys, you can use a lot of help, you know
You thinkin life's all about smokin weed and ice
You don't wanna be my age and can't read and write
Begging different women for a place to sleep at night
Smart boys turn to men and do whatever they wish
If you believe you can achieve, then say it like this
[Chorus]
[Nas]
Be, be, 'fore we came to this country
We were kings and queens, never porch monkeys
It was empires in Africa called Kush
Timbuktu, where every race came to get books
To learn from black teachers who taught Greeks and Romans
Asian Arabs and gave them gold when
Gold was converted to money it all changed
Money then became empowerment for Europeans
The Persian military invaded
They heard about the gold, the teachings, and everything sacred
Africa was almost robbed naked
Slavery was money, so they began making slave ships
Egypt was the place that Alexander the Great went
He was so shocked at the mountains with black faces
Shot up they nose to impose what basically
Still goes on today, you see?
If the truth is told, the youth can grow
Then learn to survive until they gain control
Nobody says you have to be gangstas, hoes
Read more learn more, change the globe
Ghetto children, do your thing
Hold your head up, little man, you're a king
Young Princess when you get your wedding ring
Your man is saying "She's my queen"
[Chorus]
Save the music y'all, save the music y'all
Save the music y'all, save the music y'all
Save the music

I Get Lonesome
Well there ain't nobody left to impress
And everyone's kissing their own hands
There's 666 on the kitchen floor
There ain't no fire in the pan
I get lonesome
I get lonesome
I get lonesome
I get lonesome
So glad to be a slab
Stiff as a stick on a board
I get thoughts and dirty socks
Piled in the corner
I get lonesome
I get lonesome
I get lonesome
I get lonesome
Getting fat on your own fear
Bring that beer over here
I stomp on the floor
Just to make a sound
I get lonesome

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

Once my lover now my friend
What a cruel thing to pretend
What a cunning way to condescend
Once my lover, and now my friend
Oh, you creep up like the clouds
And you set my soul at ease
Then you let your love abound
And you bring me to my knees
Oh, it's evil, babe, the way you let your
grace enrapture me
When well you know, I'd be insane -
to ever let that dirty game recapture me
You made me a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging all around me
'Cause I don't know when you're
gonna make your move
Oh, your gaze is dangerous
And you fill your space so sweet
If I let you get too close
You'll set your spell on me
So darlin' I just wanna say
Just in case I don't come through
I was on to every play
I just wanted you
But, oh, it's so evil, my love, the way you've
no reverence to my concern
So I'll be sure to stay wary of you, love,
to save the pain of
Once my flame and twice my burn
You made me a shadowboxer, baby
I wanna be ready for what you do
I been swinging all around me

"L.O.V.E. I Hate You" - Swingin' Utters
Your selfishness is horrid
And your beauty is queen
Puts the pain gut-wrenching
And the grass a sickly green
The troubles of youth
Have got your hair in a mess
And when you speak there's length in excess
About your storm and stress
Our love was never sacred
Kept me figuring out what to do
L-O-V-E, I hate you
There's blood on the frosting
When you cut the cake
The meaning lies much deeper
You're a big mistake
Let me count the ways
On the squirming centipede
You'll never find what you're looking for With these insatiable needs
Your passion is a pesticide
The birds and bees are never in my trees You'll never find what you're looking for With these insatiable needs
The trouble of youth
Have got your hair in a mess
When you speak
There's length in excess
About your storm and stress

Polyester Bride
I was talking, not two days ago
To a certain bartender I'm lucky to know
And I asked Henry, my bartending friend
If I should bother dating unfamous men
And Henry said, "You're lucky to even know me.
You're lucky to be alive.
You're lucky to be drinking here for free cause I'm a
Sucker for your lucky, pretty eyes."
And then he said, "Do you want to be a Polyester Bride?
Or do you want to hang your head and die?
Do you want to find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale?
Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?"
And I was sitting, not two days ago
Feeling lonely 'cause I'm just feeling low
And I asked Henry, my bartending friend
Why it is that there are those kind of men

You're lucky to be drinking here for free cause I'm a

Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?"
"Princess, do you
Really want to flap your wings and fly...
Because you've got time."
He keeps telling me, "You've got time."
But I don't believe him
"You've got time."
I keep on pushing harder...
I keep on pushing farther away
But he keeps telling me, "Baby, he says baby, yeah."

All I wanna do
Is live my life with you
Talk you've gotta grow
I'll give you H2O
All I want to do
Is live a simple life here with you
I felt like Travis Bickle, tyrannical, lonely and blue
I don't know why I went to Botanical but there I met you
You made me go from blue to green just in time
Before I get mohawk
When we're together I'd say we look like brooklime
And you can't talk or walk but I love your leafstalk
All I wanna do
Is live my life with you
Talk you've gotta grow
I'll give you H2O
All I want to do
Is live a simple life here with you
Your way! I'll send no billet-doux!
If you rather want me to I'll buy a green house for you
You'll always be on the sunny side of my heart
I hope you don't dry out at times when we're apart
Hope you don't leave me in the cart!
As I said
I really hope that you don't leave me in the cart
Coz if you do dry out then that will truly break my heart
And I'll feel like Blickle once more
And maybe I will loose it
Go insane and start a gun war?!

"Tornado of Souls"
Megadeth
This morning I made the call
the one that ends it all
hanging up I wanted to cry
but dammit this well's gone dry.
Not for the money,
not for the fame
not for the power,
just no more games.
But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
I cant replace the lies
that let a thousand days go
no more living trapped in side
In her way I'll surley die
in the eye of the tornado,blow me away
You'll grow to loathe my name
You'll hate me just the same
You wont need your breath
and soon you'll meet your death
not from the years
not from the use
not from the tears
just self abuse
But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
I cant replace the lies
that let a thousand days go
no more living trapped inside
in her way I'll surley die
in the eye of the tornado,blow me away
Whos to say whats for me to say
Whos to say whats for me to be
Whos to say whats for me to do
'Cause a big nothing it'll be for me
The land of oppertunity
the golden chance for me
my future looks so bright
Now I think I've seen the light
Cant say whats on my mind
cant do what I really feel
in this bed I made for me
is where I sleep,I really feel
I warn you of your fate
proven true to late
your tounge twist perverse
come drink now of this curse
And now I fill your brain
I spin you round again
my poison fills your head
as I tuck you into bed
You feel my finger tips
you wont forget my lips
you'll fell my cold breath
its the kiss of death

"Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" - H2O
I remember all those bands
Preaching with motherfucking X's on their hands
The Youth Of Yesterday, what else can I say
The times have changed and they've faded away
The times have changed and the trends move on
The spirit of youth I still carry on
Close minded attitudes, you know the youth crew
Alienating everyone who didn't think like
who didn't
Act like
Who didn't
Look like you
Here today
And gone tomorrow
Memories Of Yesterday
Leave me in sorrow
Here today
And gone tomorrow
Sincerity? It was only borrowed [Repeat]
Hey but where are they now?
Cause I'm still here and I'm drug free and fucking sincere
Hey but that's okay cause they're out of the scene
They're denying hardcore while they chase the green
You know who you are you insincere,
straight edge last year,
drinkin' a beer,
have no friends,
no heart or soul,
playing the roll,
full of shit.
Before you go waving flags you better know what you stand for.
