2. Diablo Blvd.
Some wonder, some filter, some trip to pass the time
Just ask him and he'll tell you nothing better then a desparate mind
I'm in love with a widow soon to be,
I don't think I can fight it
Anthems broke and I'm spinning 'round again,
Stayin' dizzy 'cause I like it
You can have it if you want it,
just remember it's a lonely ride
Ain't that hard to fight
Kickin' hard time, they split you to the bone. Kickin' hard time, risin'
Home is your destination, do you think you can find it
Feelin' green once again, downtown you go, the arrows rising
You can have it if you want it,
just remember it's a lonely ride
Ain't that hard to fight
Kickin' hard time, they split you to the bone. Kickin' hard time, risin'
Some wonder, some filter, some trip to pass the time
Just asked him and he will tell you there is nothing better then a deperate mind
Diablo, talk to me, tell me what's on your mind
That game boy, to the rivals, we don't need no war inside
Kickin' hard time, kickin' hard time, risin'
Once so magnetic but you do it so poetic
And you lay it on the line and singin' kickin' hard time, it ain't that
hard to find
Kickin' hard time, they split you to the bone. Kickin' hard time, risin'
3. Senor Limpio
Sleeping on the wing
Busted flat and dusted boy your mind’s a terrible thing
Said the man with a dirty hand who claimed that he was king
Choking angels from inside trying to make them sing
Cause your short of breath and close to death from sleeping on
The wing
Dirty king, dirty king now your strapped in for
The ride- its so hard to be a fighter when
Your hands are always tied.
Mr. Innocent blood says he kills but just for love
Too bad the good ones always have to take the blame
"hey" sharp tongue liar making pay in a bed of fire
Too bad your dreams are always made of losing games
Dirty king dirty king now your strapped in for
The ride, its so hard to be a fighter when your hands are always tied.
But I want to I want to I want to but my hands were always tied up
But I want to I want to I want to but my hands were always tied
And I wish I had myself a dime for every time I cursed your
Goddamn name...
Mister clean
Sweatin’ on the line doin’ 40 wasting time
Ain’t it funny how dat money rots your brain
Put your soul on trial cause you lost it all to a tiny vial
Look in the mirror when you tell me who’s insane
Dirty king dirty king now your strapped in for
The ride, it so hard to be a fighter when your hands are always tied.
But I want to but my hands are always tied up
But I want to I want to I want to but my hands were always tied up
But I wish I had myself a dime for every time I cursed your
Goddamn name..
Mister clean
4. King of the Rotten
If I was king of all the rotten
stealing filth from those forgotten
would you be my queen of this desperate land, do you give a damn?
What if I had to scold you
listen once but never tried and true
What if I had to trade you for another man, do you think I can?
I won't call on the angels no
beating on the line as I turn to amputate...
I'm bleeding on you
What if you were torn in two
what if I wanted to be like you
what if I was high like an aeroplane, would you look at me the same?
I won't call on the angels no
beating on the line as I turn to amputate...
I'm bleeding on you
If we walked side by side
would you step stab my back and kill my pride
or would you fall ahead, or would you move behind,
tell me what's unkind
Now if I was king of all the rotten
stealing filth from those forgotten
would you be my queen of this desperate land, do you think I give a damn?
I won't call on the angels no
beating on the line as I turn to amputate...
I'm bleeding on you
5. Wiseblood
When I was young some wise fool told me
live & learn but nothing comes for free
so I did what I could when I was able
to keep the truth away from our table
Young blood creepin what you need
Wiseblood shake em down to his knees
guaranteed
Well I never walked I just learned to fly
heaven or high was the way I stayed alive
I've seen them devils pound our bible
you saints and sinners are both my rival
Young blood creepin what you need
Wiseblood shake em down to his knees
aim to please
there's blood on the street but there's nothing to steal from me
cause I walk alone but at least I walk for free
I listen to few and I'm fueled by fire
guess now I'm old but not much wiser
Young blood creepin what you need
Wiseblood shake em down to his knees
Young blood creepin what you need
Wiseblood shake em down to his knees
guaranteed
6. Who's got the Fire
Oh say man, are you still alive, cause I heard your ship was sinking
Back in town, but there's nothin' around, man, I know the feeling'
I'm talkin' bout it
Who's got the fi-yah?
Who's got the fi-yah?
Who's got the fi-yah?
Leave it for the love, and try to call me a liar.
Hey you. Mr. Highball, too young to walk, to old to crawl
Quittin' time, but is your soul better, never mind, never mind
Quit talkin' bout it
Who's got the fi-yah?
Who's got the fi-yah?
Who's got the fi-yah?
Leave it for the love, put me out
To' up, from the Flo' up, I say Stop...wait a minute now Ho' up
Heat come around to hunt you down
I know you know the feelin'
I'm talkin' bout it
Who's got the fi-yah?
Who's got the fi-yah?
Who's got the fi-yah?
Leave it for the love, put me out
7. Albatross
Left behind what a waste of time
They’re coming to get you, run on
How can I respect your crime
They bought and sold you, run on run on.
You can call me crazy
You can call me wrong
Cause I was born a liar, albatross
Fly on
My home is kind man it pays to be blind
I promise to forget you run on
No swallowed pride no conspiracy lined
Broken promise of virtue run on.
You can call me lazy
But I know where I belong
Cause I was born a liar, albatross
Fly on with your trust in love
From your god above…
I believe the albatross is me
I should have seen the signs
Now the memory’s far behind
It was no big loss, fly on albatross
Yeaahh.
8. My Grain
Grace, pride, tell me what’s your name?
Crippled will with tomorrow’s pill
And I feel no pain but I can’t remember
Whose to blame...
This is not my home
This is not my home
But the source was always known
My grain
I beg, you steal, do you show me your signs of a sin
Blistered and torn by the pure & reborn
But there are just like us and remember
Man, they cave in...
This is not my home
This is n*
Migrane
Wicked goddamn bass licks war stone, do you write your name in trust?
Word to the wise my instincts rise
All your heroes are gone and the proud
Ones have turned to dust,.. Seven dust...
You can kill my pride but my heads still
Flying!
My grain
My grain
My grain
Migrane
9. Congratulations Song
So now you're flying like you wanna be
Right where you belong
Runnin' from the sun again, it's alright, alright
Runnin' from the dreams you seem to lose
You've been runnin' for a while, a while...
You can't slow down...
Runnin' from the sun again, it's all right, all right Somebody is
tryin' to get the best of me
Congratulations song
So now you're flying like you wanna be.....

This Long Hand That Breaks Our Back
Still Casting Shadows On All That We See
Unjustified...Mercy Killing Is Just A Feeling
To Keep Our Numbers From Being Free
[Chorus]
Prison For Praise Is Not Worth Thinking
Sin Is Still In And Our Ballots Are Shrinking
So Unleash The Dogs - The Only Solution
Forgive And Forget, Fuck No

Draws His Dreams From Your Soul - Bleeding Minds Into Sand
The Year Of The Fear Has Arrived Decades Too Late
And Our Right To Stand And Fight Is Now Solely Sealed In Fate

One Last Chance Mission With A Vision
'Cos Our Lives Are Just Cards In Their Stack
Our Time Is Short But Theirs Is Shorter
How Much Longer Can They Hold Us Back
[Chorus]
Prison For Praise - The Obvious Answer
Once Had Power Mad - Living Disaster
Dont Fuck With Me 'Cos I'm On The Freedom Train

12. Zippo
Amplified on fire, strapped to take you higher
Queens appear, strapped you made it clear
Is everybody with me, is everybody cool
Is anybody lazy, am I the only fool ?
Hell yeah maybe you a roc n rolla
Hey, hey maybe I should of been coldah
Ditch that wish and sell your soul
Is everybody with me is everybody cool
Is anybody lazy am I the only fool ?
That's what makes it so damn hard to find her
I was down beat crazy, lumps to make it hazy
Ride on fear, wings they disappear
Is everybody with me, is everybody cool
Is anybody lazy, am I the only fool ?
Hell yeah maybe you a roc n rolla
Hey hey maybe I should of been coldah
Ditch that wish and sell your soul
I was down town freaky, strapped you made it tricky
Heads go under, sho ruff gonna roll you over
Is everybody with me is everybody cool
Is anybody lazy am I the only fool ?
Hell yeah maybe you a roc n rolla
Hey, hey maybe I should of been coldah
Ditch that wish and sell your soul
Ditch that wish and sell your soul
Life that touch and make your body rockah
Make yo body rockah...Make yo body rockah...
13. Long Whip / Big America
Saw the news today, some D.C. suit trying to break away,
said he lost another million
just another old man trying to pass the buck with a dirty hand
good thing he knows his bible
Stick his ass in hell ever better in in this tiny cell
make him understand the meaning
of these words they try to preach just to keep them out of the nations reach
I guess it's all for the better
Take it all away
take me
won't you take me far away
HEY HEY HEY what's that game you play
will it make me richer?
cause I do not have a dime and I hate to waste your time
maybe I'm wrong but I think this whip is too long
now I was barely 21 lying in a ditch with a loaded gun
so I gave my heart away
but I got it back today in a velvet box stamped USA
now all the neighbors call me hero.
I was about to lose my mind so I buckled down and did some crime
but it wasn't what they taught me
hit the road in high pursuit now I'm on the run just like a suit
didn't know it was this easy
Take it all away
take me
won't you take me far away
HEY HEY HEY what's that game you play
will it make me a poor man?
cause I got an extra dime and I lose it every time
maybe I'm wrong but I think this whip is too long
HEY HEY HEY what's that game you play
will it make me richer?
cause I do not have a dime and I hate to waste your time
maybe I'm wrong but I think this whip is too long
No more, no more
see I can't find the time to crawl across the line
but I can't stay here...
No more, no more
see I can't find the time to crawl across the line
but I can't stay here till I die
14. Shelter
Once in awhile you'd be better listening to the fools for a change
I can see it in your eyes, it's the one who's not like you, you despise
I'm no different than you, it's just that I do whatever I want to
that's what sets us apart, I was free from the start, now you're leaving
tell me whose heart is bleeding
so once in awhile you'd be better listening to the fools for a change
What comes around follows and the truth becomes harder to swallow
so bang bang they shoot you down, no one says a word as your body hits the ground
oh pick her up and put her down the crowd screams aloud she's not breathing
and the only hand that reaches is the one alone you've been cheating my friend
tell me whose heart is bleeding again
so once in awhile you'd be better listening to the fools for a change
once in awhile you'd be better listening to the fools for a change
15. Clean My Wounds
I see the world thru blood shot eyes
Streets filled with blood from distant leis.
The dogs of war never compromise,
No time for rearranging
"help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds"
He said he cannot heal that kind
Bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind
He said it happens every time...
That’s how the story goes
In the land of a 1000 no’s
I’m all over you
In time my mind is changing.
Black on black gives me a heart attack
And the silence makes it deadly
Some choose to kill with a simple will
I’ve seen them fall fast and steady
Help me Jesus help me clean my wounds
He said he cannot heal that kind
Buck shot through the dome makes a big
Fucking mess,
He said it happens every time...
Knock it down
Twist of fate wont give me a break,
& Myself I’m slow and tired
I’ve got to rise with these blood shot eyes
But I keep falling when I’m higher...
"Help me Jesus help me ........"
Cannot heal
Bleeding soul bitter mind
He said it happens every time.
That’s how the story goes
In the land of a 1000 no’s
We are bleeding sins but our
Sins are always fading.
Knock it down
Knock it down
