1.Carousel
she can't hide no matter how hard she tries
her secret disguised behind the lies
and at night she crys away her pride
with eyes shut tight staring at her inside
all her friends know why she can't sleep at night
all her family asking is she alright
all she wants to do is get rid of this hell
well all she's got to do is stop kiddin herself
she can only fool herself for so long
she can only fool herself for so long
she can only fool herself for so long
are you too weak to face me？
(she can only fool herself)
chorus
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me
when it comes to how to live his life and can't be told
says he got everything under control
thinks he knows he's not a problem he's stuck with
but in reality it would be a problem to just quit
an addict and he can't hold the reigns
the pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
trys to slow down the problem he's got
but can't get off the carousel untill he makes it stop
he can only fool himself for so long
he can only fool himself for so long
he can only fool himself for so long
are you too weak to face me？
(he can only fool himself)
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me
interlude
chorus x2
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me

3.Step Up
yo
watch as the room rocks
mentally moonwalk
mixed media slang banging in your boombox
verbal violence
lyrical stylist
in a time when rock／hip-hop rhymes are childish
you can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
rappin' to a beat doesn't make you an emcee
with your lack of skill and facility you're killing me
i heard that some of you are gettin' help with your rhymes
you're not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
cuz rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years
but now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up
all after a fast buck
and all the tracks suck
so how does it stack up？
none of its real
you wanna be an emcee？
who can rock a rhyme like this
bring it to you every time like this
who can rock a rhyme like this
so you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
but mentally you don't have the hip-hop energy
with a tendency to make up stories
it sounded like the only hip-hop you've heard is top-40
and your record company's completely missed it
and all the kids are dissin' it for not being legitimate
so in a battle, you can't hack it
react with whack shit, and get smacked with verbal backflips
get your ass kicked, i'm a fabulous battle catalyst
it's taken decades for emcees to establish this
you're new to hip-hop and welcome if you're serious
(using waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponent
who can rock a rhyme like this
bring it to you every time like this
who can rock a rhyme like this
who can rock a rhyme like this
bring it to you every time like this

(after years of painstaking research by the world's leading
sound scientists
we here at the sound institute have invented a reliable
audio weapon system
actual movement of musical sound in space is used to

who can rock a rhyme like this

4.And One
Where should I start
Disjointed heart
I've got no commitment
To my own flesh and blood
Left all alone
Far from my home
No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart, I
Keep it locked up inside
Cannot express
To the point I've regressed
If anger's a gift, then I guess I've been blessed, I
Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies
It's too late to love me now
You helped me to show me
It's too late to love me now
You don't take a word in
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
music slows to rap solo...
Spit drips from the jaw of the witless witness
Cryptic colloquialism shifts your midrift
Dark all I do embark the shadows
Involved with my thought catalog, analogue, rap catalog
Keep my distance, and fear resistance, hurt by persistance
The twisted web of tangled lies
Strangles my hope to waste and numbs the taste
And I'm forced to face these hate crimes
Against the state of being
Feeling the weight-less-ness pressed between the ceiling
Reeling around room
Riding a bubble of sound proof
It's the frequency making you
Sha-Shake with every boom
Involuntary muscle contraction
Ignoring and drinking musical gas field euphoria
The sound pounds to make the dead flush
To have you a head rush with red thoughts and said stuff
5.High Voltage
You know what I mean
You could put a label on a life,
Put a label on a lifestyle
Sometimes...
You know
Put a label on how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night
Hybrid
I've been diggin into crates ever since I was livin in space
Before the ratrace, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology and bigbang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
Chincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them what I'm
made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you emcees who
hate us
So you can try on,
Leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
High Voltage
The unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
Akira, I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
My Blood type's Krylon Technicolor type A
On highways ride with road rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Over while the same thing
Sing song karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line a rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spin rah, blah blah blah
You can say you saw
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
And like the rock and rap
You know what i mean
People act like you know
Wow that's a new invention
That shits brand new
We're constantly evolving
It is constantly changing
Sometimes...
There's a lot of change
Everybody's always up with labels
There ain't no label for this shit
They're always gonna try to put a label on it
Try to create something
So they can water it down
Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease
Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
You know what I mean, you can put a label on a lifestyle
6.Part Of Me
Every day reminded how much I hated it.
Weighted against the consequences,
Can't live without it so it's senseless.
Want to cut it out of my soul
and just live with a gaping hole.
Take control of my life
and wash out all the burned tastes.
I made the problems in the first place.
Hang my head low 'cause its part of me.
You' ll hardly see right next to the heart of me.
Heard of me？
The moons soon scar.
New cuts cover where the old ones are
and now I'm sick of this.
I can't stand the sandpaper thoughts that grate on my sanity.
I'd rather not even be
than the man that's staring in the mirror through
me.(Pre-chorus)
Cut myself free
willingly stop just what's killing me. (Chorus)
Cut myself free
willingly stop just what's killing me. (Chorus)
Cut myself free
willingly stop just what's killing me. (Chorus)
Cut myself free
willingly stop just what's killing me. (Chorus)
I feel it everyday.
I feel I'm in my way.
I feel it swell up inside,
Swell up inside.
(Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it)
Once it's been dealt,
when you feel like you've been touched by something angelic
and then melted down into a pool of peace.
Cease to be,
the animal you used to be.
Removed the broken parts you know were wrong,
and feel the calm when the problems all gone,
and then you start to see
a little piece of yourself that you can't let be.
Memories of the last fight to free yourself
take you to the depths at the bottom of the well
and now you know that you can chose to lose the part in your
heart
where your insides bruise.
You can live if you're willing to.
Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams violently,
silently.
Cut myself free
willingly stop just what's killing me. (Chorus)
Cut myself free
willingly stop just what's killing me. (Chorus)
Cut myself free
willingly stop just what's killing me. (Chorus)
Cut myself free
willingly stop just what's killing me. (Chorus)
I feel it everyday.
I feel I'm in my way.
I feel it swell up inside,
Swell up inside.
(Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it)
Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams politically.
This part of me won't go away, (Alive in me, inside of me, a
part of me screams
A part of me won't go away. (Alive in me, inside of me, a part
of me screams
Every time I see myself there's always something wrong with me.
Everywhere I look around I see how everything ought to be.
And every time I see myself there's always something wrong with
me.
I feel it everyday.
I feel I'm in my way.
I feel it swell up inside,
Swell up inside.
(Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it)
I feel it everyday.
I feel I'm in my way.
I feel it swell up inside,
Swell up inside.
(Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it)
I feel it swell up inside,
Swell up inside.
(Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it)
I feel it swell up inside,
Swell up inside.
(Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it)
Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams violently,
silently.
(Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it)
Everywhere I look around I see how everything ought to be.
Part of me won't go away.
