Lyrics
1:35What is a man that stays true to the game
1:37But has to cheat a little to get by
1:40Well that's a person that I know too well
1:41Don't want to know but I don't have to ask why
1:44Everyone like a loaded gun
1:46You want some sh*t I'll f**kin' pound you son
1:49Don't need a reason pain I'm feelin'
1:51I gotta vent or else I blow inside
1:54Introspection termination
1:56Can't tell right from wrong
1:58Fed up with this whole system
2:00It's gone on far too long
2:02You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times
2:07Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
2:12Thousand lies been told a thousand times
2:17Hard as nails the power to survive
2:41What s a man that stays true to the game
2:42But can't believe some of the things he sees
2:45Anger's a gift and I won't be kept down
2:47In poverty there is no democracy
2:50Used needle and a crack vile
2:52A broken bottle and a bullet shell
2:54This urban life is so volatile
2:56An inner city or a concrete hell
2:59Introspection termination
3:01Can't tell right from wrong
3:03Fed up with this whole system
3:05It's gone on far too long
3:07You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times
3:12Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
3:17Thousand lies been told a thousand times
3:22Hard as nails the power to survive
4:30What is a man don't stay true to the game
4:32Don't care for no one only cares for his greed
4:35He's playin' God killin' thousands of people
4:36'Cause the power is the fix that he needs
4:39Racist goal of the white devil
4:41I watched our soul burnin' over oil
4:43A politician got no feelin'
4:45It makes my motherf**kin' cold blood boil
4:48Introspection termination
4:50Can't tell right from wrong
4:52Fed up with this whole system
4:54It's gone on far too long
4:57You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times
5:01Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize
5:05Thousand lies been told a thousand times
5:10Hard as nails the power to survive
What is a man that stays true to the game But has to cheat a little to get by Well that's a person that I know too well Don't want to know but I don't have to ask why Everyone like a loaded gun You want some sh*t I'll f**kin' pound you son Don't need a reason pain I'm feelin' I gotta vent or else I blow inside Introspection termination Can't tell right from wrong Fed up with this whole system It's gone on far too long You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize Thousand lies been told a thousand times Hard as nails the power to survive What s a man that stays true to the game But can't believe some of the things he sees Anger's a gift and I won't be kept down In poverty there is no democracy Used needle and a crack vile A broken bottle and a bullet shell This urban life is so volatile An inner city or a concrete hell Introspection termination Can't tell right from wrong Fed up with this whole system It's gone on far too long You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize Thousand lies been told a thousand times Hard as nails the power to survive What is a man don't stay true to the game Don't care for no one only cares for his greed He's playin' God killin' thousands of people 'Cause the power is the fix that he needs Racist goal of the white devil I watched our soul burnin' over oil A politician got no feelin' It makes my motherf**kin' cold blood boil Introspection termination Can't tell right from wrong Fed up with this whole system It's gone on far too long You tell a thousand lies been told a thousand times Your words we hear but we cannot sympathize Thousand lies been told a thousand times Hard as nails the power to survive
