"Ten years old, and it's something to see another kid my age dragged under a Jeep taken and bound and found later under a tree I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me"

"My brother had a book, he would hold it with pride a little red cover with a broken spine on the back he hand-wrote a quote inside "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die.""

"With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you Amen"

"Are you lost, in your lies? Do you tell yourself I don't realize your crusade's a disguise? Replacing freedom with fear, trading money for lives I'm aware of what you've done."

"I used the deadwood to make the fire rise the blood of innocents burning in the skies"

"And in the end we were meant to be apart in separate chambers of the human heart"

"I am not a pattern to be followed the pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow I'm not a criminal not a role model not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow"

"I'm not a robot I'm not a monkey I won't dance, even if the beat's funky"

"Y'all oughta stop talking, start trying to catch up, motherfucker"

"Lauryn said money change the situation Big said it increase the complication Kane said don't step, I ain't the one Chuck said an Uzi weigh a motherfuckin' ton"

"And you think there's not enough love and no one to give it to"

"So hold on, the weight of the world will give you the strength to go"

"This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm And though the words sound steady something empty's within them"

"All I wanna do is trade this life for something new holding onto what I haven't got."

"What was left when the fire was gone? I thought I felt right, but the right was wrong"

"You're pushing back down blackout, blood in your eye"

"Fuck it, are you listening?"

"Floating down as colors fill the light We look up from the ground in fields of paper white And floating up you pass us in the night A future gazing out, a past to overwrite"

"Come down far below We've been waiting to collect what you've let go"

"There ain't shit we don't run when the guns unload and no one make a move unless my people say so"

"Steel unload, final blow We the animals take control hear us now, clear and true wretches and kings, we come for you"

"As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars"

"And when I close my eyes tonight to symphonies of blinding light"

"God save us everyone will we burn inside the fire of a thousand suns for the sins of our hands the sins of our tongues the sins of our fathers the sins of our young"

"When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind"

"Fly me up on a silver wave Past the black where the sirens sang warm me up in a nova's glow and drop me down to the dream below"

"Cause I'm only a crack, in this castle of glass, hardly anything there for you to see, for you to see."

"For you snakes in the grass supplying the venom I ain't scared of your teeth-- I admire what's in 'em"

"Wanna talk about a victim I'mma put you in with 'em"

"Weep not for roads untraveled Weep not for sights unseen May your love never end And if you need a friend there's a seat here alongside me."

"Skin to bone, steel to rust Ash to ashes, dust to dust Let tomorrow have its way With the promises we made Skin to bone, steel to rust"

"My mama taught words My daddy built rockets I put 'em together Now tell me what I got"

"We swim against the rising waves And crash against the shore The body bends until it breaks The early morning sings no more"

"Mama always told me don't you run Don't you run with scissors, son You're gonna hurt someone"

"Sharp edges have consequences, I Guess that I had to find out for myself Sharp edges have consequences, now Every scar is a story I can tell"

"We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep There are things that we can have, but can't keep"

"Who cares if one more light goes out? In the sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone's time runs out? If a moment is all we are We're quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out?, Well I do."

"Night gets darkest right before dawn What don't kill you makes you more strong"

"And your voice was all I heard; that I get what I deserve"

"You're guilty all the same; Too sick to be ashamed; You want to point your finger; But there's no one else to blame."
