TRANSCRIPT

  • 1. Zeros & Heroes

    You've got a full time job, with a minimal payyou do all of the work, but you don't get no sayYou never raise your voice, or try to run the showyou always get there first, you're always last to go

    You always take your share, no more no less& when you've had your turn, there's always something leftfor whoever's next, behind you in the linewhen there's work to do, you always spare some time

    you work your hands to the bone, but you don't complainyou never push up front, just for your personal gain

    This goes out to all the zeros, to my personal herosall the losers & zeros, you're my personal heroes,this goes out to all the zeros

    You never do no wrong, you never hurt no oneYou always tell yourself, the best is yet to comeNo matter how things look, How bad it all may seemYou always stand your ground, and live by your means

    you work your hands to the bone, but you don't complainyou never push up front, just for your personal gain

    [Chorus]

    We're all heros, we're all zeros.......

    [Chorus]

    2. Recipe For Hate

    first of all I make sure I've got the right ingredients before I heat upthe panI take a little bit of bitterness to grease it up & keep everything closeat handthen I add a few ounces of fresh frustration and half a cup of attitudeA rush of adrenaline to spice things up & then half a spoon of bad moodone bottle of my sweat one bottle of tears, a few drops of my own bloodit all blends together like a cat and dog and the result is as clear as mudI pick the worst situation out of the bunch & throw it right into the mix& last but not least I add a little bit of spit, just a few little nastycliques

    That's my recipe for hate

    I turn up the heat to 400 degrees and go to work on the attitudeI shake it all up in a provocative way to make sure it comes out rudeThen I grind down the frustration hard so that all of the scents can blendI pour the sweat on top & then the tears to make sure that I don't make friendswhen the mood is wrong, everything is right, I can add the adrenalinebut I've got to be careful with the dose I use, the effect shouldn't wearto thinthe blood comes last cos' it always has a tendancy to cool and coagulate

  • so I calculate and make no mistakes, it's so fresh that it still pulsates

    That's my recipe for hate......

    When the meal is done you get a spoiled appetite & a dish full of disagreesome ignorance on the side, a plate full of hate, served with a fistful ofme

    3. When Everything Crumbles

    It all happened right in front of my eyesit took me one second and then I realizedWhat can I do, at which end do I startDo I follow my brain or just go with my heartwhat can I say without making it worseshould I wait and watch or should I go head first?

    what do we do when sanity crumblesHow do we handle the threatHow do we act when dignity stumblesHow do we live with regret

    No time to think, either I act or I walkshould I go inbetween or just try to talkThe longer I wait the worse everything getsand the verbal abuse turns into fysical threats

    [Chorus x 2]

    It all happened right in front of my eyesit took me one second and then I realizedif I don't react, next time it might be meWhat can I do, at which end do I startDo I follow my brain or just go with my heartshould I walk on by and pretend that I didn't see?

    [Chorus]

    4. 15 Minutes Of Fame

    Any way the wind seems to blow is where you always end up turning your nose,well I suppose you wanna go where the incrowd goes & know everything thein crowd knows,saying everything right,you keep you image tight with everyone you meet andgreetbut the truth of it all is that it's easy to fall if you can't stand on yourown fucking feet

    You're so busy kissing everyone's ass you haven't noticed that your noseis brown,well you're the clown of the town but you think you're going up well I canpromise you you're going down,so stop wasting your time becos you're way out of line, it's all imaginaryfame,you're not wearing a crown & the only place you'll ever be famous in is inyour own brain

  • fifteen minutes of being famousA whole lifetime of being aimlessfifteen minutes of being famous You're on your way to fameA whole lifetime of being aimless you've made yourself a name

    Someone always has to lose his seat so that somebody else can win,and I really don't think that you're smart enough to understand which seatyou're in,you can't win If you're not strong enough to stand for something cos' someoneelse will stand on you,no matter what you do all you're ever gonna be is just another ass that theycan screw

    fifteen minutes of being famous You're on your way to fameA whole lifetime of being aimless you've made yourself a namefifteen minutes of being famous the spotlight is aimed at youA whole lifetime of being aimless and then it's somebody new

    You suck celebrity cock so you can make it to the top you co-operate whatever the vice,but when you reach the top all you can do is drop and that's when you startpaying the price,it's paradise when you go from rags to wearing riches suddenly everyone isyour friend,but the money only talks while your legacy walks and then you're back towearing rags again.

    [Chorus]

    5. World Domination

    I've been scared to be heard and I've feared that my wordswould appear in a place that was weird and absurd,while my face is replaced with a picture of me,where you see all the faults of the fake imagery,In the great industry I've been made by the tradewhile I make my mistakes in this great masqueradethe parade is all phony and they're laughing at me,when they see how I deal with my own miseryhistory is repeated and my brain is deletedbut I'll stay in my seat up until I'm defeatedthe beat may be distant but I still hear the clickand I'll kick up a storm until I make myself sickand when I loose the plot and they tighten the knotthen I'll take what I can, when I can while I'm hot

    I've figured out the plot, I'll give it what I've gotI'll give it my best shot, if you like it or not

    I want just World dominationGive me world domination [x 2]

    It's been more than a year of ignoring my fearcos I've cleared out my thoughts until they disappearedI still hear the signals and I see all the signsthey've all been assigned to the back of my mindand I find that in time all my doubts are outshined

  • by a new kind of faith that I place in my shrineI refuse to resign or give in to my wimsso I follow the line for as long as my limbschoose to carry my weight and my heart still pulsatesthe stakes may be high but I can't hesitateI'll do whatever it takes to break out of this mouldand to shake off the demons and whatever upholdsme from being the best I can possibly bethe most meanest and leanest and dopest MC

    I've figured out the plot, I'll give it what I've gotI'll give it my best shot, if you like it or not

    I want just World dominationGive me world domination [x 2]

    You can all hate me but you can't duplicate mecos' I've been copywrited and no one can break meI'll shake up your rumours with humour that's lethaltil' you understand that you can't be my equal'there won't be no sequel for as long as I'm standingit's totally wrong it's a misunderstandingor a misunderstatment do you need a translationkilling you with my mouth is my main occupation

    I've figured out the plot, I'll give it what I've gotI'll give it my best shot, cos' I'm right on spot

    I want just World dominationGive me world domination [x 2]

    6. Bitch

    What the hell is wrong with you have you lost your mindyou know we never go out this lateYou're making me look stupid and now I'm feeling madit must have been something you ate

    I used to love you but now I'm not so sureThere's something about your whole attitudeI've got this feeling eatin' straight through my brainall you ever think about is food

    But you're still my bitch

    Everytime we go out for a walk in the parkyou're always barking up the wrong treeNow you just want attention from the opposite sexI know that you're just using me

    Sometimes when you get angry you show me your teethbut I know your bark is worse than your biteand then when you get hungry it's a whole different dealyou act like everything is alright

    But you're still my bitch

    You always try to play those tricks with my mind

  • but bitch I know a trick or twofor everytime you try to make me loosen your leashyou know I'll have to punish you

    You look at me and throw yourself at me feethoping I might pat you on the backbut I'm not gonna go there, I won't fall for thatnot until you cut me some slack

    But you're still my bitch

    7. Four Letter Word

    I thought I knew you, it only goes to show that I was wrong, so wrongI see right through you, and everything we used to have is gone, it's allgoneYou said you loved me, but did you mean a word of what you said, when yousaidyou're thinking of me, I'm sure that someone else was in your bed, gettinghead

    I'll tell you what, love is just a four letter wordlike it or not, love is just a four letter word

    You say it's over and treat me like you don't know who I am, who I amI hope you know girl, that you've turned me into a broken man, yes I amand then you tell me, tell me that you've found somebody new, well good foryoubut do you really, think I care about the things you do , fuck both of you

    I'll tell you what, love is just a four letter wordlike it or not, love is just a four letter word

    So now you've left me, I bet that you could hardly even waitI used to love you, now you're just the girl I love to hateAll I can say is, I wish I'd listened to my own adviceI learned the hard way, that you we're cold as ice

    so thanx alot, love is just a four letter wordlike it or not, love is just a four letter word

    8. Money Power Glory

    The money, the power, the glory

    It's the survival of the fittest, the toughest, the meanest the slickestWhen the shit hits the fan then we'll see who's leanest, the quickestWe'll witness the vultures when they begin the fighting & the feastingthere's a piece of a beast in us all that we're afraid of just releasingthere's no rhyme or reason when our instincts are awokenthe borders are broken, suddenly the truth is spokenSurvival of the fittest, the toughest, the meanest the slickest

    We're all in it forTHE MONEY THE POWER, THE POWER THE GLORY,THE GLORY THE FAME, IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY

  • Break all of the rules neccessary to win the competitionFake your place in the ratrace and then try to take the pole positionthe mission is simply to make sure you that you get all your chancesSo make no mistakes and make sure that nobody else advancesmake your way to the top by any means necessaryand carry on until your enemies are dead & buriedthe greed is what feeds us every time we plant the seedit's the root of all the evil but we take what we needSurvival of the fittest, the toughest, the meanest the slickest

    [Chorus]

    We're all looking for the power, the money & the gloryand the story never stops we like to kill for territoryIt's better safe than sorry, watch your back this is a warA sneak attack, a payback, they've got a foot in the doorSo be sure to be secure or be sure to draw bloodwe're all down in the dirt dragging our names through the mudwhat we won't do for love, we do for money and famein this game the main aim is to make yourself a name for.....

    [Chorus]

    9. Kick It

    You take what you can, without asking firstand then you drink what's left, to quench your own thirstYou always fill your plate with more than you can eatand then you make sure, that you get the best seat

    I'VE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES BUT YOU STILL WON'T LISTENI'VE GIVEN YOU A THOUSAND CHANCES BUT YOU STILL WON'T LEARNAND I'VE SEEN A THOUSAND SIGNS THAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSIN'I'VE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES WAIT UNTIL YOUR TURN

    You always help yourself, to what you can findbut sharing what there is, it doesn't cross your mindyou find a place in the sun and wait until you're servedto make sure that you get, more than you deserve

    [Chorus]

    Stop breathing my air, you're all over my faceJust give me some room, stop stealing my spaceTake one step back and then one step moreuntil' you reach the door...

    [Chorus]

    10. Live Like A Man

    I was raised in the name of the constitutionI believe in Jesus Christ but not in evolutionfor my family and country I would go to warto serve and protect us from the evil that

  • infects us to the core, that's what I'm fighting for

    You've got to live like a man or die like a cowardlive like a coward or die like a man x 2

    My duty to serve my god and my nationwill guide me on my way to salvataionI've got my god given right to defend my freedombetter safe than sorry is the slogan when I beatthem to secure, what I'm fighting for

    [Chorus]

    if maintaining the peacemeans fighting the beastthen I'm surely prepared to diebecause a man's gotta dowhat a man's gotta do andI know that god's on my side

    [Chorus]

    11. Step Aside

    who made you the hero, who made you the judge, who gave you the right decidewhat makes you think that you can't do wrong, why should the whole worldstep asideYou can't come and tell me that you're free from sin cos' that would be tellinga lieIt's not without reason that accidents happen but still you don't ask yourselfwhyit takes a hijacking then you go attacking your enemies without any proofcos' you like to think the world spins around you but that's just so farfrom the truth

    step down from your throne, it's time you woke up before it blows up in yourfaceNo man is an island, so stop breeding violence it's neither the time or theplacejust face up to the fact that you get what you give so expect a payback inreturnno one wants to listen to all your complaining your problems are not ourconcernyour history haunts you like a knife in the back, your dreams have all crumbledto dustaccording to you you're a god fearing man but who's version of god shouldI trust

    Everyone is hurting so don't make it seem as if the only one bleeding isyoucos' you got off easy in comparisation to the pain that you've put othersthroughbut still you paint up a picture as if you're the victim of some kind ofterrible plotbut that isn't true because everyone knows that you fired the first lethalshotand still you have the guts to claim to the world that you're a peace lovingcountry & race but you don't show compassion all I see is a killer, it's

  • written all over your face

    12. Blame

    Don't give me that crap cos' I'm not all ears,I won't fall for your cries or your crocodile tearsYour stupid statements or your lousy lies,Cos' I can see it was you from the look in your eyes

    From the way that you move to the things you say,It doesn't matter what you do you give yourself awaybut you refuse to admit you don't want to be wrong,So you say that it was me when you know that it was you all along

    You can blame who you want but you can't blame meYou can blame who you want but you can't blame meYou can say what you want but you can't phase meYou can blame who you want but you can't blame me

    Everytime you show up you always bring bad newsand you try to make it seem as if I stand accusedwithout the evidence god knows who's rightSo if you don't know what you're talking about then keep your lips sealedtight

    [Chorus]

    I've had enough of this shit I think I'm through with youI've heard enough of your lies to know that they're not trueSo why don't you crawl back to where you once came fromCos' this time I know I'm right and that means you're wrong

    [Chorus]

    13. Are You Talking To Me

    [Bonus track]

    Are you talking to me, I didn't hear what you saidWas that a word in your mouth, was that a thought in your head

    Are you moving your lips, I can't hear any wordshave you got something to say, was that a noise I heardI still can't hear your voice, do you think I'm all earscould you talk a little louder, cos' I still can't hear

    Are you talking to me [x 3]There's no one else here you must be talking to me

    Don't raise your voice at me, do you think that I'm deafthere's no reason to scream, why don't you save your breatheI heard the first time round, it's fucking greek to mewhat comes out of your mouth, is like a piss in the sea

    [Chorus]

  • You're just wasting my time, there's nothing good in yougoing from bad to worse, is the best you can dowith your head up your ass, you're just a bad excuseyou don't say what you mean, so what's the fucking use?

    [Chorus]

    14. Where Are You Now

    [Bonus track]

    you do everything right for all the wrong reasonsand you use all the tricks of the tradeFrom the tip of your toes to the tip of your tongueyou've carefully planned your crusadeIt's all surface no substance, all payed in advancebut you're the one paying the priceand the only thing left will be a hole in your pocketwhen everyone else gets their slice/has been given their slice

    where are you now, what have you donewhat have you got left, what have you becomeyou had the world in your hands but it slipped throughyour fingers and now look at what you've become

    The masterplan wasn't yours you were just the excuseTo squeeze out some juice from the fruitand nobody cares about your personal lifeall you are is the latest recruit the sweet smell of success has a foul aftertasteand when you've lost your place in the sunwhat you won't do for you love you just do for moneyso you'd best take the money you can and then run

    where are you now, what have you doneyou had the world in your hands but it slipped throughyour fingers and now look at what you've becomewhere are you now, what have you donewhat have you got left, what have you become

    there are no rules in the book that apply to the gamethe truth comes like a slap in the faceAnd the next runner up gets a moment to shinein the spotlight once you've lost your placekeep on wearing that suit for as long as it fitsand pretend that it's not wearing youand while your busy being somebody you're notyou're much better off not even having a clue

    15. Point Of No Return

    i've got my back against the wall, my face against your fistmy brain confronts my feelings as my stomache starts to twistadrenaline is pumping and my head is one big messas i try to come to terms with my own anger and distressthat's when the first blow hits me and my head goes flying back

  • it bangs against the concrete and i hear when my bones cracki raise my hands to gaurd my face cos' i'm too scared to runi try to scream out in despair and that's when next blow comes

    the second time you hit me, the pain just disappearsand all i feel is my frustration as my motivation clearsthere's no way i'm gonna let you bring me down without a fightand so i raise my arms up and i clench my fingers tightthe first time that i hit you your eyes look so suprisedyou didn't think i had it in me, you just stand there paralyzedi'm not gonna be your victim and it's time for you to learnand so i turn my feelings off and then i'm at the point of no return

    i know that there's no turning back from here,there aren't any bridges left to burnso instead i do the opposite of everything i've ever learned,i'm at the point of no return

    the second time i hit you, i know your going downi can see your body shaking as you fall towards the groundyou try to keep your balance and you try to stand up straightbut when the blood runs down your face you know that it's too lateyou know i'm gonna hit you with one third and final blowand i don't even fucking care if i can sink this lowcos' there isn't any logic when the anger starts to burnand with your back against the wall, you stand there at the point of no return
