STAND YOUR GROUND
On the cold dark nights
On the inner-city streets
Down dark alleyways
Between decrepit buildings
You hear the rebel yells
Of proud fighting men
You hear the pounding of flesh
And the stench of bloodshed
You got to stand! Stand!
Stand your ground and fight
Fight! Fight! Fight
Blood runs through the cracks
Of the concrete Smothered in broken glass
(Shattered) on those defeat
You hear your brothers in battle
Shouting out in strife
And you’re honored to stand among them
Fighting on in stride
You know never to surrender,
Never give in
Your reputation is holy
In the world you live in
You have your brother’s respect
And you’ll never let them down
You always be there for them
And stand your ground

GANGLAND VENDETTA
Gunshots echo through the city night
Hear the sirens see the flashing lights
Here comes the chopper up above
With his spot light breaking through the smog
White chalk is traced on the concrete
Blood pours out into the street
Another kid had to die
Hear the mothers pleading why
The gang’s together going out tonight
They want revenge and they’re looking to strike
There’s a gangland vendetta in the neighborhood
A vicious cycle of spilling blood
Gangland vendetta
Gangland vendetta
Gangland vendetta
Gangland vendetta

RACEWAR
There’s violence in our schools
There’s gang violence on the streets
Racial tension snaps in prison
Provokes war in our community
The kids are on the front line
They die from ignorance and hate
Anyone can be a victim
The violence can’t be escaped
In this RACE WAR
STOP THE HATE!
There’s violence on the campus
The student form into ethnic mobs
Bottles and stone fly through the air
Like artillery and bombs
The staff can’t stop the riot
The races battle in a clash
Heads are smashed into the pavement
Bodies bleed out from being stabbed
The violence never ends
It pours out into the street
Racial motivated crimes
Can’t be stopped by the police
The gangs are running rabid
Hate crimes are on the rise
They’re taking orders from the prisons
To seek and destroy life

ON THE GRIND
This one’s for the common man
Out to make it on the streets
Out to do what he can
Just to feed his family
Ain't got no job ain't got no skills
Ain't got no college degree
What’s left for a working man?
Someone like you and me
You got to do what you can
To pay the bills and be a man
Resort to a life of crime
Spilling blood just to survive
Back out on the grind again
Call in favors from old friends
You get the gig from the crew
Smashing heads collecting dues
Out every night
Having troubles with the wife
The risk is high and so’s the green
That’s all that matters with mouths to feed
Out late on the job one night
Police kick through the door
Guns and drugs are in your hands
As you get slammed on the floor
Sitting in prison now
No letters from your family
You ask yourself if she’ll wait
But the years seem to fade away
