1. OUR TIME

If you’re listening to this album we thank you
You’ve opened up to the notion that you don’t need to follow
You’ve steered away from the masses that swallow anything that’s presented in front of them
If you’re digging our tunes or just here to criticise
Either way you’ve given us your time
We’ve carved out a H in the corner of your mind
We are the leaders we never fall in line
Point out all the mistakes humanity has made
You’ll be left with a dead arm for days and days
But now it’s our time
It’s never felt so right
The future is ours
We stand we fight
Try to push aside, we hit back harder
We all deserve a place in this world and the life after
Ascension’s inevitable like each days dawn
Do not obey do not conform
An easy life is boring
Come with us and ride the storm
Religion, race hate and country borders
Were created to eliminate the truth before us
Fear and separation are tools that distort us
So we bring it back with a verse and a chorus
Looking out on all like the eye of Horus


2. HATE

You must think that we’re slipping off a roof by the way we get slated down
Can’t stop us spitting on a riddim in the booth changing the game and sound
Had an idea sitting in my room now we’re playing to a bouncing crowd
Hit ‘em with 16 bars and hooks we will never throw in the towel
Now we got the whole scene shook
Middle finger just won’t go down
Grime kid in the metal scene getting funny looks
Screw up your face and frown
A million views on a tune is proof that we’ve produced our own style
We’ve come a long way from our home town with the world on our shoulders we’ll never back down

Why you wanna hate on us?

No lies we’re given ‘em the truth
They were leavin’ the pit, less teeth in their mouth
On a mic wire swinging from the roof, we crowdsurf and get deep with fans
We don’t get sick of the abuse
We get booked for a show in Amsterdam
Who’s billin’ up? Pass me the blues blowing negativity out the window fam
I can’t believe what we’ve done in four years and all we’re gonna do is expand
Try something new coz we got no fears
Live shows getting 5 Ks in Kerrang!
Turned a hobby into a career now we travel across the globe with one plan
Still you wanna hate on us?
Nah, the whole scene’s in the palm of our hand!

Why you wanna hate on me?
Or talk like you don’t rate my team?
You ain’t even bringing no riffs to the scene
We be doing this ’til we’re living our dream
Why you wanna hate on me?
Or talk like you don’t rate my team?
You ain’t even bringing no heat to the scene
And the real mans know that we’re dope on the streets

Yeah the real mans know that we’re dope on the streets

Who would’ve thought that four years back we’d spawn from the scene and attack
Soundalike bands are whack, need H in your mind like a fiend needs crack
Who would’ve thought that four years back we’d spawn from the scene and attack
Soundalike bands are whack, now we’re tight in the game, won’t fall back

Why you wanna hate on me?
Or talk like you don’t rate my team?
You ain’t even bringing no riffs to the scene
We be doing this ’til we’re living our dream
Why you wanna hate on me?
Or talk like you don’t rate my team?
You ain’t even bringing no heat to the scene
And the real mans know that we’re dope on the streets


3. DECEIVE & DEFY

Music resonates
My eyes dilate and it triggers off parts of my brain
I get a feeling that I can’t explain
The pen is a receiver
My heart spills on a page
From a very young age
Didn’t really care about wage
We make the hairs at the back of your neck stand up
With CD or with passion on stage
We are the new soundwave
Maintain balance in the music game
These wise words I’ma take to my grave
I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for just naturally jamming with mates
Now everybody wanna go on X Factor coz they wanna be famous
But the H is infamous
And we don’t wanna be famous
We wanna make changes

This life one shot one dream
This life one way to succeed
This life one shot one dream
They deceive and defy on big screens

Subliminal thoughts
As I spit syllables on a chord
At my own accord
The chemicals in my brain explore
Another rhythm pattern and I start goin' on raw
And they ain't never seen talent in Britain like this before
A 16 on a riff is a rift we cause
These finalists don’t get no applause
They just wanna go Number One
Another year yet another cunt
And now we’re here for the long drive
We tell the judge we don’t give a fuck
We got fire in our blood
Too many young minds corrupt
Dragged down thinking they're on their way up
This game is tough
Gotta stay strong to survive on the throne

This life one shot one dream
One dream!
This life one way to succeed
One way!
This life one shot one dream
One dream!
They deceive and defy on big screens

This life one shot one dream
One dream!
This life one way to succeed
One way!
This life one shot one dream
One dream!
They deceive and defy on big screens

Where will you go?
Spotlights don’t shine on graves just so you know
Leave a legacy spirit lives on
Leave this with me
I will prove you all wrong
Where will you go?
Where will you go?

This life one shot one dream
One dream!
This life one way to succeed
One way!
This life one shot one dream
One dream!
They deceive and defy on big screens

This life one shot one dream
One dream!
This life one way to succeed
One way!
This life one shot one dream
One dream!
They deceive and defy on big screens


4. TAKEN

Before your time's up
These bars will open your mind up
The spirit inside ya will live on 'til time's done
But when the lights go out you might not rise up again like the sun
So embrace the present
You never know when you might lose somebody you love
Grievance hasn't got a button you can just turn off
Gotta stay true to yourself at any cost
Ascend to the sky, you won't get lost
When a loved one's here for a second then gone
Your heart beats to the sound of the drum
When someone above's still sending you signals
Letting you know you're not on your own
Hold onto your people
Coz we were born alone, we won't die alone

You will never lose face by offering a shoulder
Bring them into your space
When the world seems like it's colder
You will never lose face by offering a shoulder
Bring them into your space

I've got love for friends and family who have fallen
Regardless of distance I know none of us here wanna be forgotten
Yeah times get rough for the best of us and daily life is just way too much
Coz we're riding the waves in the ocean
Lost hope and faith and you're feeling crushed
We all need to move forward
Need to see that there's something more than what we had coz we have it all
Emotions rise then emotions fall
Feel pushed back and against the wall
A positive mind will keep you strong
Strike the match, ignite the flames, so we can carry on

You will never lose face by offering a shoulder
Bring them into your space
When the world seems like it's colder
You will never lose face by offering a shoulder
Bring them into your space

There comes a time in life when someone will want you by their side
And need you to keep them strong
Alone they fall but we are one
There will be a time
When everything's fine or so it seems
Left with memories, holding onto dreams

You will never lose face by offering a shoulder
Bring them into your space
When the world seems like it's colder


5. THE STORM

[Instrumental]


6. NO WAY BACK

There’s no way back

Our days are numbered
Thought that it was gonna be plain sailing but it’s all rain and thunder
So we strike like lightning settling scores
As we rape this world for consumption
Another country’s family’s dying through hunger
It don’t make no sense that’s why we gotta push back not just sit on the fence
Infected by a scene gotta stay focused as we get hit with waves from the ocean
A lot of weight on our shoulders
Britain is broken
Another generation is evolving while the opposition are still controlling
More money more problems no-one’s solving and the ozone’s still got a hole in

There’s not much longer to live
Turn around look what you did
You created a demon
Watch this unfold
With every breath days become old

We can see things change but it’s mainly the climate
Yeah we know most wouldn’t bat an eyelid
The future is dying
The pressure is rising
Hate is spreading like a virus
The end is near but the past is behind us
We’re breaking the silence
Get behind us as the coastline decreases on this concrete island
We’re against everything you believe in
We’re just spitting the truth we’re not preaching
You wanna tell me how the fuck it ever came to this?
We gotta rise up let a better world exist
The outcome’ll always cause a twist
We bite the hand that feeds us shit
So is there gonna be a way back?
Let’s counteract the attack

I will wait for you to look me in the eye
Feed me your bullshit
Feed me your lies
Yeah the view’s so sick from the top
You just can’t get enough
When you’re flying this high
There’s a higher drop
Torn from the sky
There’s no way back up
There’s no way back

There’s not much longer to live
Turn around look what you did
You created a demon
Watch this unfold
With every breathe days become old


7. FALSE IDOLS

We see through your disguise
False idols in our eyes
We're stronger, we are the

We ain't gonna lose no sleep if you hate us
Now we're in way too deep on our way up
Think we're gonna stop because a fake don't rate us?
Boris Johnson cunt ain't gonna save us
Keep taxing our wages, we just spit raps in faces
Tryna bridge gaps but we are lab rats in cages
Trapped in, sick without a vaccine
Contagious, so they wanna stay away from us because of our behaviour
Well I don't fucking blame ya 'cause we're not just entertainers (Stay away from the radius)
I spit shrapnel that will give you a face lift
Do you catch my drift? Hacktivist causing a crisis
Let a politician chat shit as I murder the riff

We see through your disguise
False idols in our eyes
We're stronger, we are the

The voice of a generation lost in discrimination
They step to the stage with nothing to say but waste

The voice of a generation lost in discrimination
They step to the stage with nothing to show but fame

Better know we're setting the pace
Everybody wants money, nobody wants change
From council estates on minimum wage
(How the fuck did we get here on the main stage?)
We won't follow mans lane
Clockwork Orange, they can't wash my brain
Think I give a fuck about fame?
I'll be on the road playing shows with my mates
All we need is humanity in this human race
Others see black and white but we see grey
If you read between the lines you can relate
When the kids start shooting at their class mates
And their parents blame GTA
Selling guns in shops was the first mistake
So don't talk to me about fate

We see through your disguise
False idols in our eyes
We're stronger, we are the voice

(The voice of a generation lost in discrimination)
We are the voice
(The voice of a generation lost in discrimination)
We are the voice

The voice of a generation lost in discrimination
They step to the stage with nothing to say but waste

The voice of a generation lost in discrimination
They step to the stage with nothing to show but fame


8. ROTTEN

Look into the future
Will peace be found or man still shoot ya?
Technology rises
Uses for the greater good or still cause crisis?
What’s the verdict?
We called for God but do you think he heard it?
And if he did, did he think mankind was worth it?
Did he think we deserved it?
Microchips
There’s a human circuit
Spread worldwide from beneath the surface
No green left on the earth
Cursed, stuck in reverse, only getting worse
We await the grave
Won’t live long
Urban decay
Talking about these days gone by
Still question why

I’ll spill any enemy
I don’t wanna wake up with cables stuck in my gut
And have to cut some chip out my neck to eject all the lies they been tellin’ me
They keep telling us that the nightmare will end but it never does we’re the rebellers
And we tried to defend our heaven but then yet again they deaded us
Plugged us into the machine
Now we’re livin’ life in a bad dream
I hate being stuck in the matrix mate
Can’t wait to escape and wake up my team
Look what the law has become
Check what the corporate forces have done
We can’t run all the doors have been shut
I’m exhausted and cut
World War 4 has begun

We can just about breathe but we’re not alive
The sickness begins
See it in our eyes
Rotten from the inside out
You can shout you can scream
But in this future world we bleed
We can just about breathe but we’re not alive
The sickness begins
See it in our eyes
Rotten from the inside out
You can shout you can scream
But in this future world death’s the only guarantee

Filling our brains with the enemies’ notions
We counteract explosions
I’m a virus, sicker than a backdoor trojan
Killing off opponents
We are the cyborg soldiers
Coz freedom is the focus
You’ve been warned
If you are not strong then you will be left for the vultures
I watched world War 4 approach us
As we enter another dimension
Drones hovering, scanning our bodies to take information
As we fight alongside the resistance
We’re the lyrical resurrection
Everything’s been censored
I’ve been frozen and sectioned
My eyes are red, i detect tension like a Skynet invention

Yes, listen
They failed us
They failed us in stages and lied about it
Didn’t think that we would write about this Orwellian reality and fight the powers
They caged us
Promised that they would save us
They made us worship their saviours
First it was martial law and tasers
Now i’m rippin this id code from my skin with a razor
Wake up wake up wake up
To many man’ll fall victim
Flushed out get lost in the system
So listen
It’s too late to appreciate wisdom
You’re trapped
This is reality
I hope you appreciate prison

We can just about breathe but we’re not alive
The sickness begins
See it in our eyes
Rotten from the inside out
You can shout you can scream
But in this future world we bleed
We can just about breathe but we’re not alive
The sickness begins
See it in our eyes
Rotten from the inside out
You can shout you can scream
But in this world death’s the only guarantee

Did you really think the government was backing you?
Woop woop
Yeah they’re attacking you
Yeah yeah
They be lacking too
Tell you what we know that they know what we know
And I wish I was 11 foot taller
Wish I was a bad-boy baller
Then I could’ve prevented this or that
Put my faith on the line and a gun to my face and it could’ve been the end of Traxx
Hold me back
Know a couple brothers that will hold me back
Now I got a tracker on my arm and I can’t go nowhere
I refuse to be abused but I can’t fight back
And I know you can hear us and I know you can hear us
But I can’t fight back
I got the on my back


9. ELEVATE

I wanna take down who's in power
Like ground zero
Two twin towers
The president was a coward
Trying to take what's ours
Spend money on wars
Watch bullets get showered
But things ain't gonna change in a matter of hours
Until we turn up at the White House
Whole crowds of us
These suits & ties couldn't walk in our trousers - nah
It's riot gear when they surround us
I'm a pioneer
Hacktivist - we are the founders
The sound of twenty five thousand voices raised in anger
If only you could see it from our angle
Another budget cut
Another community center shut, dismantled

The system over-run by the power of the gun
Families bleed, left with no-one
It's time for change
Time to elevate to a higher place
This world's gone insane
What happened to the right side of the brain?
This mask covers our face
Stand up and say goodbye to this daylight robbery of lives
The elite gotta do their time
Set 'em up for the firing line
Too quick to point the finger
Too quick to pull the trigger
Slaughter the innocent
I see no sense

We fight fire with fire
We won't burn
A middle finger for liars that won't learn
We fight fire with fire
We won't burn
A middle finger for liars that won't learn
We stand firm

There's strength in numbers
We're ninety nine, they're one
For the suits up high there's nowhere to hide or run
We flow through the streets like blood
Hats down, hoods up
The system's fucked
What I see is corrupt
Learn who to trust
H won't give up
They don't move in our circle
Stand up and listen
We're breaking the rules
Never fall, stay strong
Eternal inferno
We stand tall raising a torch
Coz we got that lyrical force for the side that you walk
Bodies lined out in chalk for supporting the cause
We settle the score
Fight! Coz this is our war

We fight fire with fire
We won't burn
A middle finger for liars that won't learn
We fight fire with fire
We won't burn
A middle finger for liars that won't learn
We stand firm

We will stand firm, ooh (x2)

The system's over-run by the power of the gun
Families bleed left with no-one
It's time for change, time to elevate to a higher place
The world's gone insane
What happened to the right side of the brain?
Straight
Systems over-run by the power of the gun
Families bleed left with no-one
It's time for change, time to elevate to a higher place
The world's gone insane
What happened to the right side of the brain?


10. OUTSIDE THE BOX

So we got thrown in at the deep end
Didn’t test the water
Made a splash in the scene with a sound that they ain’t ever heard of
There will be many now but there was none before us
We’re gonna remain flawless
Thanks for all the support
It’s been awesome
Coming from The Craufurd
Going on tour with Korn round Europe
Coz we live how we sound
Outside the box, cross borders
Causing storms in forums
Fuck a genre coz that’s not important
We’re on the frontline
We are not trolls on keyboards exporting nonsense
Or a sandwich short in a lunchbox
We are the full mont
Turn the sound up another notch
We just tell it how it is
They applaud us, yeah they applaud us

Sat in my room and my head starts spinning
Painting a story, creating an image
Translating these thoughts to lyrics
We are full of substance, no need for gimmicks
We’ve achieved so much
But it’s just like we’re warming up
Some said we’d never make it
Ha! You really think H ever gave a fuck?
And through this we gained our respect
Connecting with fans, deep thoughts, sick shows, lyrical intellect
And we are here right now
There’s no coming up next
So tighten your belt
This time you’re coming for a ride
As these five minds collide


11. BUSZY

Who said that rest comes easily?
You said that!
Might just need to be put down
Ain’t standing around
Our heads in the clouds but feet on the ground
Believe me you will see me living a life freely, rise up like a wheelie
Take a step back
Look what we achieved
Straight up passion
Not about ps

Forever we aim high
On the same level, looking up at the same sky
Deep in the music, up to the waistline
So we’re gonna do this
Ain’t gonna waste time
There’s a lot of plastic shit in this metal life
Bare bands but nothing like us five
It’s our time
We’re keeping it alive
Our home is where the road is so you better know this

We’ll take on the world
There’s no sleep tonight
So high we take flight
We touch the sky
Feeling so alive
6am still buzzing
We won’t stop for nothing

6am on the tour bus carnage
That’s where it started
Licking off bottles no dramas
I’m supposed to be saving my voice but i can’t stop laughing
We give a hundred percent, never go half hearted
H is an army advancing our way to the target
So positive, we’ve already made it big, regardless

You see me on the podium
Rise above all
High like opium
Got too much heart
And this is just the start

We’ll take on the world
There’s no sleep tonight
So high we take flight
We touch the sky
Feeling so alive
6am still buzzing
We won’t stop for nothing

We will take on the world
There’s no sleep tonight
So high we take flight
We touch the sky
Feeling so alive


12. THE STORM II

Unified we are not alone
Born from the stars and we will return
Unified yeah we’re not alone
Born from the stars and we will return
