1.	The Instigator 05:02	lyrics	buy track
I'm going to war, witness it With those who won’t acquit, Bona-fide victims of the law unfit, Breaking doors like a vandal, The state has got a hole on the handle, I don't care who shares I breathe the same air As the rightful heir Breaking doors like a vandal, State has got a hole on the handle. Don’t look away, Don’t look away, From what I've grown, Don’t look away, no. Don’t take away from what I know, Going to war, truth be told, With all that you uphold, I scold unsold as the lies unfold, Breaking doors like a like a vandal, The state has got a hold on the handle We live in a police-state, Please state your name and where you're from As I light a flame to the bass drum How fucking loud will the sound be? Don’t look away, Don’t look away, From what I've grown, Don’t look away, no. Don’t take away from what I know, A far cry from the 'oh yeah'
2.	The Agenda 03:08	lyrics	buy track
i was lost in time, didn't make sense to change the rhyme, if i dont sing with emotion, she will just make commotion, if i just go now, i know that she'll always be with me, never alone always beside me, deep in sleep's where she resides, she says, ill get you up in the morning. I love how it feels when she's in my arms, ill hold her close, protect her from harm, it's an overwhelming sensation, she needs no invitation, if i just go now i know that she'll always be with me, never alone always beside me, deep in sleep's where she resides, she says, ill get you up in the morning
3.	Trouble That We're In 04:31	lyrics	buy track
easily i slip back into the groove look at the news and i see nothing new problems in your mind it's yours and mine yeah pay no attention to the things they do look at the news and i see nothing new problems in your mind it's yours and mine yeah slowly blinded by the sickness nothing left in the tank to resist this, no truth in the words you speak how can you bee free when you got no freedom of speech say the wrong thing and you will get hurt, jail terms for chatting the wrong shit within the social network, dont worry about about us we'll about this tomorrow how much time is left yo what can you borrow keep away from getting sucked in i wont say the trouble that we're in keep away from getting sucked in i dont need to say the trouble that we're in easily i slip back into the groove look at the news and i see nothing new slowly blinded by the sickness nothing left in the tank to resist this, no truth in the words you speak how can you bee free when you got no freedom of speech keep away from getting sucked in i wont say the trouble that we're in keep away from getting sucked in i dont need to say the trouble that we're in keep away from getting sucked in i wont say keep away from getting sucked in i wont say the trouble that we're in
4.	Isiah 03:16	lyrics	buy track
the universe don't rehearse the verses, i divulge from conception to black hearses, you know the worst is, still to come i provide a single slide cross section, break it down slowly, i don't understand who claimed that what was holy, come across the shit he wrote down, the lies he told me, you do not see the evil path from the righteous, more watched over than ever the man who's eye is constantly improving constantly intruding still moving faster, to the state of partial disaster like the slave masters in pompeii who got away but they lost everything that they owned on that day guess who did not escape thousands of exploited yeah the taxes that they pay, so learn your lesson fight the oppression gunna take more than a gun a smith and wesson bow down to the next one and fuck the resurrection broken down to the core components you stand upon the weak ground where's your weed now?
5.	Rain 03:46	lyrics	buy track
positive deposit of ideas around here repositories closed for 9 years apathy induced by them's one of my fears but i wont cry tears i remain quite calm co-ordinate my attack to cause the most harm, subordinated on track with the plan man, can a thought provoke fear chaos and disorderly life is hear rap for more screla could i politely ask you to be more real ill feel ya if you're down with a pot dealer but your not a thug, you're a toke stealer, most of the industry's a joke fruit might peel ya for the punch line, see this? less sweetness than a bunch of limes call me a punk but thats fine i don't hunt crime but i do walk the street crunk the whole time label me a criminal as i smoke out the citadel temperature is rising, critical, with the rhyme scheme a-typical ain't it strange? reminds me of the rain. spinning wheels no traction, still i don't get no satisfaction, i am addition you are a sub-fraction of subtraction, nothing can match it, please cut down these diseased trees with a hatchet, don't be tense as i unveil a sequence of false pretence. raw style's getting more wild cos i had no prospects like a poor child thoughts filed efficiently flow slow initially how much of the rhyme scheme c an be put down to the way that the tempo be changing effortlessly, ain't it strange? reminds me of the rain.
