Strength to Say:

Why's it tough for me to be heard, and why's it tough for me to be seen /
why can't I wake up out of this dream, my attitudes just like "does it
really matter anymore?" / My eyes they see what yours don't see, I told you
once you won't believe, the things your mind cannot conceive will be the
downfall of you

It's all a blur / like you and me / I lost those words / most certainly
I have the strength to say, I have the strength to know the way / if we
embrace the change, today can become anything

Your thoughts are lost in a mental cell block, locked in a place in your
head and you will not / break from the mold cuz the world has a hold but
your mind you control now everybody break out / rise and redemption soul
intervention, run from the prison don't be a victim / lift off the fog
that's distracting your vision, live how you feel cuz it's all your decision

Signs in the night / no vacancy / I found those words / most certainly
I have the strength to say, I have the strength to know the way / if we
embrace the change, today can become anything.

If we embrace the change / don't let it slip away / until my dying day / I'd
have the strength to say x3

Strength in my voice to say what I should / strength in my mind to know it's
all good / got strength in the crew to know what to do, what? / we're all
for you know we break thru what, come on




Who is Who:

Questioning believe / illusions everywhere are what you see / just another
day / trying to make this pain go away

Another day goes by on the calendar page, waiting for the next time we are
feeling the stage / so many faces embracing the words we spit, hella critics
are cynics they be hating the shit so what?

Welcome waking life / open up to what you see / inside just another day /
trying to define the unexplained

Of course you got some people who think their all that, while some other
people thinking their soldiers in combat / rocking battle mode, daily with
their defense up, keep this up things are gonna stay messed up / so talk no
shit cuz I walk away from it, save the scripts you'll never get away with it
/ blaze the spliffs, minds in a haze is it, wanna know the whole story yo
this is it, it goes

Who is who you be / take the time to see / who is who you be / don't believe
the h-y-p-e

Hope is like a lucid ghost / no one ever really walks alone / just another
day / trying to untie our separate ways

Our rhymes are mad abundant, your shit stays redundant / I try to tame cats
with the words from my mouth / dudes in the pits from the north to the south
never bullshitting when I'm spitting, let it be known / I'm ahead of the
game, much props it's a god damn shame, many cats want to know this name, so
watch out / this is the story I hold on, so people everywhere can start to
grow on

Who is who you be / take the time to see / who is who you be / don't believe
the h-y-p-e / what's up with the bullshit (what?) / best come correct and
reveal it quickly (oh shit?) / what's up with the bullshit (what?) / who is
who, you is you, that's who you be

Questioning belief / illusions everywhere are what you.

Who is who you be / take the time to see / who is who you be / don't believe
the h-y-p-e / what's up with the bullshit (what?) / best come correct and
reveal it quickly (oh shit?) / what's up with the bullshit (what?) / who is
who, you is you, that's who you be




Reggae Groove:

I am the one who tokes up in morning / come along if you know what I mean /
Reggae music is what I believe in / so come along and sing with me

Reggae groove, going back to my roots / Reggae groove, it's the sun splash
move / Reggae groove, and you know it's so smooth / Reggae groove

All the people from my left to my right / come together and get in no fight
/ yes to youth cuz we've got to prove / when we come together you know we
can move

Reggae groove, going back to my roots / Reggae groove, it's the sun splash
move / Reggae groove, and you know it's so smooth / Reggae groove

Waste my days in a rapid motion / spend my time just to get to the ocean /
lojic come thru got to do some promotion / coming in rough coming like
locomotion / rub you down with the sweet love lotion / people come together
got to cause some commotion

Reggae groove, going back to my roots / Reggae groove, it's the sun splash
move / Reggae groove, and you know it's so smooth / Reggae groove x2





EmpTV:

I got a problem I can't explain / so much going on takes a toll on my brain
/ I feel surrounded I can't get away / hard to understand all the words they
say / so much confusion no end in sight / got to find a way I can make this
right / constant deception in this game / everywhere I turn it remains the
same

Searching for a better day, keeps me believing that there's got to be a
better way / so much confusion everything appears to be so fake, so much in
fact I think it's way to much for me to take / all I can do right now is
stay on point, stick to the top, don't give a damn cuz the beat stays hot /
stick to the scripts to the right don't stop to the point where we all just
drop now / I feel as those I'm sinking, I'm thinking instead of blinking
while people keep on deceiving in this world

And so I'd give / sacrifice my life / so I can rise / up into the light, all
for that day / that day we'll all be free / it will feel all right

I got a problem I can't explain, won't you find a way help me to maintain /
constant deception in this game, hard to understand all the words they say /
open your mind to the fact we find it hard to get inside you, but now the
rules have changed / that what we abide too no longer could be changed or
rearranged by those who control all that we know

Searching for a better day, keeps me believing that there's got to be a
better way / so much confusion everything appears to be so fake, so much in
fact I think it's way to much for me to take / all I can do right now is
stay on point, stick to the top, don't give a damn cuz the beat stays hot /
stick to the scripts to the right don't stop to the point where we all just
drop now / I feel as those I'm sinking, I'm thinking instead of blinking
while people keep on deceiving in this world

And so I'd give / sacrifice my life / so I can rise / up into the light, all
for that day / that day we'll all be free / it will feel all right / if
you're stuck on chapter 3 / go back to number 1




What's Left Unsaid:

Today my mind's ablaze / memories like flame; they can soothe or burn you /
in the place you stay / something in you slips away

I'm down and out / I could try and hide, but now it doesn't matter / you're
so far from me / we try to fight the change

Either you heard it once or you heard it all before / hiding shame, that's
what all the liars' lies are for / so what matters now, can we keep a piece
of mind?

In time, all will pass / so I rebuild with what is left / so long, to what's
been left unsaid / got to my head, my head

Garden of our lives / poisoned by the lies, they can soothe or burn you /
you're so far from me / we try to fight the change

Either you heard it once or you heard it all before / hiding shame, that's
what all the liars' lies are for / so what matters now, can we keep a piece
of mind?

In time, all will pass / so I rebuild with what is left / so long, to what's
been left unsaid / got to my head, my head




It's All The Same:

Sometimes my life can seem / like one connecting dream / no place to call my
own / so far away from a place to call home

Sometimes the world confuses me, so many people clueless all it does is
prove to me / that life is just a journey looking to fill a vacancy, that
lies in everyone no matter who you try to be, you see / my faith is in the
stars I don't know if there's a god, my faith is in my mind because I know
what it's about / my faith is in the people that surround me everyday,
looking to fill the vacancy no matter what the price they pay

Sometimes when I speak I feel like nobody's listening to me / sometimes I
feel my voice is drown beneath the symphony it seems

Deep inside my soul / I feel it building up / can I let it go? / it feels so
very strange to let you know

I take it to the next sector as I play the rhyme selector, pledge allegiance
to the game and now I rock a voice projector / my peeps think I'm insane
think I don't know any better, but still I bring that noise maintain that
stoic poise / give props to all my boys that are down for the cause, down
for the fall down for breaking all of the laws / so fuck what you heard
we're the new story in town, breaking mad walls down reaching for the crown
now

Sometimes when I speak I feel like nobody's listening to me / sometimes I
feel my voice is drown beneath the symphony it seems

It's all the same to me / it seems it's all the same to . me

It's all the same to me x4

Sometimes when I speak I feel like nobody's listening to me / sometimes I
feel my voice is drown beneath the symphony it seems

It's all the same to me / it seems it's all the same to . me




Carnival Blao (feat. Dr. Rocchio):

We're rocking it; we're dropping it / on top of it; no stopping it

We are ready to rock bout to blow up the spot, k ready or not time to give
what you got / everybody everywhere time to change the game, no more time to
kill we got to change the name / yea we're going all in bout to raise the
stakes, in the place where fools front with a jaded face / watch out we
break little toys with quickness, watch out son yo it's time for business

Once we bring it we just don't stop / rock the groove and the cold turns hot
/ Once we bring it we just don't stop / when we pop yo we lay like glock x2

If I rock the jam / you rock the jam / we rock the jam / up comes the jam /
if I bring the noise / you bring the noise / we bring the noise / up comes
the noise

I know you know / you know I know

We're rocking it; we're dropping it / on top of it; no stopping it

Rocchio:
Individuals caught up in the game and now invincible / principles calling
out your name but never visible / rituals but you don't listen cuz your
cynical / sitting with fixed thoughts limited by traditional dreams / and
weak themes oh my god I can't stand it / ready to tell you how it is, you
still can't handle it / sell your soul and accept your still a pawn too /
now you're twice as worthless then the bar code that's printed on you

Once we bring it we just don't stop / rock the groove and the cold turns hot
/ Once we bring it we just don't stop / when we pop yo we lay like glock x2

If I rock the jam / you rock the jam / we rock the jam / up comes the jam /
if I bring the noise / you bring the noise / we bring the noise / up comes
the noise

I know you know / you know I know

Solo

Once we bring it we just don't stop / rock the groove and the cold turns hot
/ Once we bring it we just don't stop / when we pop yo we lay like glock x2

If I rock the jam / you rock the jam / we rock the jam / up comes the jam /
if I bring the noise / you bring the noise / we bring the noise / up comes
the noise

I know you know / you know I know




Slow Down:

Envisioning the kind of dream, stripped naked / lying by the very thing /
fear can throw away the key / life alone is life in chains

So long I'm walking out that door / so long won't take it anymore / so long
it's not the way to be / so long it's not the life for me

Find yourself the last to change, just realize / you'll be the first one put
away / all the lies the fact is plain / the past is not coming back, it will
never be ours again

So long I'm walking out that door / so long won't take it anymore / so long
it's not the way to be / so long it's not the life for me

Reflecting on a dream / that's almost reality / might still be around if we
just slow down

So long I'm walking out that door / so long won't take it anymore / so long
it's not the way to be / so long it's not the life for me




In My Mind:

When my mind's eye sees / though it fades I plea / and for you to agree / I
had to be what you said

How low can we go / never hide what you hold / so serene your energy /
beautifully it empties me

Say it once I'll say it again / once it ends it begins / separate what you
know from what your shown / I'll never do this again

How low can we go / never hide what you hold / so serene your energy /
beautifully it empties me

Someone took that ride today / someplace that I can't explain /deep inside
my point of view / someplace that I never knew

How low can we go / never hide what you hold / so serene your energy /
beautifully it empties me




Give Me The Time:


There is just one question I really got to ask / will I have the time of
day, with you honey / cuz all I want to do is be with you /until the sky
turns a deep purple blue

Give me the time, give me the time, give me the time cuz we're jamming x3

Cuz oh you never know how things might go / said honey if we take that
chance we can climb a mountain we can / sing and dance sing and dance

Oh you'll never see / what you done to me / we'll be together forever /
we'll be together til the sky falls

Give me the time give me the time give me the time cuz we're jamming x3 Give
me the time give me the time

Give me the time, give me the time of the day / we're jamming cuz we're
jamming cuz we jam it up that way what? / give me the time give me the time
of the day / we're rocking to the music catching beats along the way what? /
give me the time give me the time of the day if you can not learn then don't
bother to hang what? / give me the time give me the time of the day / Lojics
representing best to get up out the way

Oh you'll never see / what you done to me / we'll be together forever /
we'll be together til the sky falls

Give me the time give me the time give me the time cuz we're jamming x3 Give
me the time give me the time




We'll Hook You Up:

Well / I guess it had to come to this / you know I won't dismiss / the fact
that you want some / so if you try / I'll have to ask you why / this feeling
you deny / it's time for it to come

Yes, We'll hook you up x4

Up into your grill do you know what's up? / because there's not a lot of
people that can make the cut / you got to ask yourself a question, will you
fuck it up? / cuz if you try and do it right, we'll hook you up

Now /  it's time for you to see / it lies in you and me / there's nowhere
left to run / as you go / there's one thing you should know / it shouldn't
even show / they all will just be stunned

Yes, We'll hook you up x4

Up into your grill do you know what's up? / because there's not a lot of
people that can make the cut / you got to ask yourself a question, will you
fuck it up? / cuz if you try and do it right, we'll hook you.

Up into your grill now it's time to feel / the situations bout to change and
you know that it's real / some people always thought of tussin, but never
count on concussions that's why in this meantime we'll try to show you why /
you feel this, an ordinary change / everybody's sees it but no ones willing
to change everybody's sitting but no ones willing to change

Up into your grill do you know what's up? / because there's not a lot of
people that can make the cut / you got to ask yourself a question, will you
fuck it up? / cuz if you try and do it right, we'll hook you up




The Intro:

Now everybody in the place, displace the fake illness / brought to you all
by those with no realness / mad at themselves because they can't feel this /
won't be around because they can't witness / a major turn around, about to
go down / as we embrace the sound, we wreck towns / best to get up off that
word you heard game time / about to attack the systems main line

The time of our lives / moves quick for some / a crime to live the lies / so
sick I'd run

You want to work for another man's cause? (hell no) / stay in a box and obey
the laws? (hell no) / feel the hurt from another mans pain? / fuck that shit
go insane / you want to work for another man's cause? (hell no) / stay in a
box and obey the laws? (hell no) / feel the hurt from another mans pain? /
fuck that shit go insane

Away no place to hide / I'd seek a strength / today I decide / I'd run
life's length

You want to work for another man's cause? (hell no) / stay in a box and obey
the laws? (hell no) / feel the hurt from another mans pain? / fuck that shit
go insane / you want to work for another man's cause? (hell no) / stay in a
box and obey the laws? (hell no) / feel the hurt from another mans pain? /
fuck that shit go insane
