2. STANDING 8

Out on your feet standing 8, standing, 8
You can't look to me when you sealed your own fate
It's one to four and you're half way there
I can tell from your face your and blank stare
That there ain't nothin' going on upstairs
And the state that you're in is despair
It ain't rare that your eyes are seeing double
It's par time for the course 'cause you know you're in some trouble

One - check the eyes for some vision
Two - I seem to sense indecision
Three - you're getting weak in the knees
Four - crying please baby please
Five - begins the loss of the brain cells
Six, six, six - and you go to Hell
Seven - you ain't looking so right
Eight - it's too late that's the end of the fight
Out on your feet standing 8,
Standing 8 out on your feet standing 8

So what went wrong, you were so strong where's
The flow in your show
Must been something, but I don't know
You fly like an eagle, but you die like a dove
It seems to me that your name is mud

Blood on the canvas painting a portrait
A slice of life and the fact that you're unfit
But you kept steppin' and gettin' your wreckin'
It seems like awhile but it only took a second

Was that right? Was that the left? Was it the jab?
Or was it this hook?
It's undisputed, but who did the damage
Do you think you can manage
Are you in or are you out?
Now there was a time when your mind was you mind
It's a desperate state I find when you're holding up
The peace sign your name to the contract to get
Yourself some combat but won't that start bringing
About decision
You've got a choice, much due respect or beat into
Submission...


3. NECKBONE

Neckbone or backbone neckbone or back
You got no fiction if you've got no fact

Neckbone or backbone your choice for the breakin'
You're thinkin' for a minute your choice might be takin' mistaken
For some good or some bad
You see what you got

There ain't no difference in the left, right
There ain't no difference in the blind, sight
Now stop for a minute 'cause your head is gettin' spastic
Paper or plastic-paper or plastic

Situation no win is the sin
So you rush for a change but the change has just always been the same
Same fools still trippin' off some old ways
New fools just thinkin' about some better days

Transparent, apparently you let it all pass
A kick in the head a kick in the ass
It's all the same to me

Fire or freezin'
Dried up or bleeding
Just when it's over you get what you're needing too much or no time
Shut up it's all mine and I let it go like that

Neckbone or backbone neckbone or back
You got no fiction if you got no fact

Kobeyashi maru what you gonna do
Am I gettin' through
Am I gettin' through

Five triple zero
Yes you are no hero
You stop and wait, and why
Oh where, Oh where, Oh where can I be
You must understand that the world is crazy it's not for me

This is combat rock for the masses
But you know I fear the masses need to get their asses kicked, quick!
Step on up...


4. EARTH VERSUS ME

That's the way it's gotta be
The earth Vs. Me

Tales of an ordinary madness
Who's to blame, I mean for all
The sadness could it be the
Enemy within or just them
I blame them who is the one
That's kickin' your ass
Who is the one that's on your
Back Stabbin' the soul twister
Turn your miss into a mystery, I see
That's the way it's gotta be
The earth Vs. Me
Well, I can dig it yeah I'll rise
Above it all
Never, never, never takin' the fall

Well the thoughts that I think
Are paranoid
The thoughts that I think I
Think I can't avoid
I swear they're out to get me,
But get me not 'cause I'm ready
For the fight see
Trapped in a conscious state
Of mind of separation
Stickin' to kickin' the facts
From the songs of Alienation

Stickin' to kickin' the facts
Stickin' to kickin' the facts
Stickin' to kickin' the facts
From the songs of Alienation
Some people were meant to be
Left alone so step off

Step one - dehumanize
Step two - is when you realize
Step three - humiliate
Step Four - recreate


5. BOREDWITCHA

Wait a minute
Let's be friends, come on
Come on
Let's be friends
Don't listen to them
Shut the hell up


6. SOLID

Get up
I'm staying here 'cause I'm fed up
I spend all my time on rhymes

But it just ain't enough, let's kick it out to the abstract
'Cause I'm right on track

And get it a little bit constricting, yeah, I need some uplifting
Too many time's I've found myself drifting

A lot of it's pure, but it comes out a toxin, I'm dead locked in, I'm dead locked in
They're burnin' in water, but I'm drowning in flames

Take it upon yourself, what you see is what you gotta plan
Make one now, like I know that you did
We're gettin' solid
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We're gettin' solid

I woke up in a scene that was bleak and
I knew upon death as I was speakin'
Seems I was surrounded by the meek and
I knew that the shit could not be weakened

Solid is the brain, solid is the grind
Solid is the pain, solid is the state of mind
Make one now, like I know that you did
We're gettin' solid
Yeah, yeah, right
We're gettin' solid
Alright, alright, okay

Solid is the brain, solid is the grind
Solid is the pain, solid is the state of mind
Solid is the brain, solid is the grind
Solid is the pain, solid is the state of mind
Solid is the brain, solid is the grind
Solid is the pain, solid is the state of mind
Solid is the brain, solid is the grind
Solid is the pain, solid is the state of mind
Solid is the brain, solid is the grind
Solid is the pain, solid is the state of mind
Solid is the brain, solid is the grind
Solid is the pain, solid is the state of mind

We're gettin' solid altogether, here we go
Gettin' involved with all the dumb shit goin' down
I make a sound in the dirt, I was born to raise the static
You wish you could, you never had it

Always wanna hang, but you just get hung
Always wanna climb, but you're on the first trunk
Sung like a true trouble maker, speaker
Move and you know I won't go save ya

Gettin' even ain't enough, revenge is the thing
That I bring with the rough stuff
Make one now like I know that you did
We're gettin' solid
Yeah, yeah
We're gettin' solid
Yeah
We're gettin' solid
Yeah, right, yeah, right
