SOMETIMES, MAYBE


Sometimes, maybe you've got to cry a little
In order to smile 
Sometimes, maybe you've got to hurt a little
In order to learn
Sometimes, maybe you've got to loose a little
In order to gain
Sometimes, maybe you've got to smoke a little
In order to light a fire
Sometimes, maybe you've got to stumble a little
In order to find your feet
Sometimes, maybe you've got to fight a little
In order to win
Sometimes, maybe you've got to loose sight a little
In order to find your way
Sometimes, maybe you've got to step back a little
In order to see your future
Sometimes, maybe you've got to die a little
In order to live longer
Sometimes...
I wonder...Maybe?
Maybe...

I AM YOU

Must I suffer because I am different
Am I not like you
Do I not eat to survive and
Survive to eat like you
Drink the same drink to quench thirst
Sleep as you do to rest mine head
Crave the same freedoms you seek?

The only difference, naked
To the eye
Is my skin colour
Or
Is it really?

Do you hate me as
I am slightly different
To you or perhaps it is
My composure
My shortcomings
My dress
My hair
My eyes
My hands or perhaps
My heart?

You choose to diss,
Unlike me
As I appear as, I am different?
Fair? Is it...?
What goes around comes round
But
I only pray it doesn't come to you
I don't feel what you feel.

I AM BLACK

Must I suffer because I am different
Am I not like you
Do I not eat to survive and
Survive to eat like you
Drink the same drink to quench thirst
Sleep as you do to rest mine head
Crave the same freedoms you seek?

The only difference, naked
To the eye
Is my skin colour
Or
Is it really?

Do you hate me as
I am slightly different
To you
Or perhaps it is
My composure
My shortcomings
My dress
My hair
My eyes
My hands or
My heart?

You choose to diss,
Unlike me
I appear as I am different?
Fair? Is it...?
What goes around comes round
But...
I only pray it doesn't come to you
I don't feel what you feel.

Homecoming


Represents the end of worry -
Represents the diminishing of stress,
Equates the release of all fear -
Equates the denouncing of all evil,
Requires the patience of parties involved -
Requires the understanding and forgivenesss of all!

CAUGHT


ALCOHOL INFUSED LYRICS

UNDERMINE TRADITION AND ETHICS

VAMPIRE BITTEN HICKEYS

SIGNS OF POISON LADEN BITCHES

DEVOUR YOU LIKE FRESH PREY

VAMPIRES DONT GIVE A FUCK...PRAY

YOUR GIRL DON'T FIND OUT, IF SHE DO

THROUGH THE WINDOW, OUT YOU GO.

Sons and Brothers


Sons of earth who live with troubled souls, 
Which dwell in unforgettable pasts 
That reign as 'King' as they roam mother earth...
Nurtured by hope and dreams of a high life -
A better tomorrow...
Still... 
We wait...half a century on! 
No one but us knows best, that patience is a virtue, 
But isn’t it true, 
It's about time we got what’s been coming? 
Why we still yearning? 
I don’t advocate violence, but 
It seems arms should start singing, 
Swing them bones, 
Lest my bones rot away!
