I had happiness, my innocence faded away
Changed my outlook and attitude
In a harmful way
His death made me hate and left me alone
Made my mom think that somehow
she went wrong
But it wasn't her fault, it wasn't in his plans
It's because of your negligence
my fath

Desperate times, desperate measures
Things could stand to be a lot better
Breaking my back, paying life's dues
I don't think I can walk anymore in these shoes
I can't get ahead
hard times have forced my hand
Forcing me to become what I despise
I gotta do it, swallow m

Every time I do something I expect the best
But disappointing times is all that I get
The good things in life seem to bring on stress
Why does it always seem to end like this?
I put my heart into it and it turns out like this?
It doesn't matter, I can't avoid it
I'm sick

I can't believe what it's come to be
A watered down, diluted joke
of what I want it to be
Kids cry about thug life woes
and wear hip-hop clothes
But drive home to a mansion
after every single show
We got new jack kids
wishing they were old school skins
Racking

Sometimes life's hard
sometimes it gets worse
Once again defeat becomes
the death of my purpose
I've gotten past worse things in my course
I can't let trauma
change my life for the worse
Feeling sorry for myself does nothing at all
Keep conscious of the fact

When I was younger I didn't realize
The struggle that ensued after my father died
How was I supposed to know?
But if I could take it all back
I could've been a better son
At any other time
anyone else wouldn't have even tried
But you kept on going at your expense

We are the new school of the old school
Here to keep alive what the forefathers started
What they invented the kids decorated
What is hardcore- it can't be debated
You got no respect for fathers of the scene
And you don't know shit
about what you pretend to be
It didn

Despite what you think
We're through with the drama
We're winning now
even though we were doubted
All the rumors don't matter
but when will you drop it?
We're moving on
the new reign's been started
We're through with your scene
Because we're on the map
We'

This is our chance, this is all that we got
Let 'em all know what's really in our hearts
The lack of support is the fuel for the fire
We want this too much to let our chance expire
To those who doubt us
and wouldn't bet on us to win
It may take 10 years
but you'll eat

Hardcore's not something that labels
can monopolize
All these bands today seem to think
that they're larger than life
Making videos, making money
Rockstar, what happened to you?
Selling out what you stood for
what happened to staying true?
Where are the messages
