Set It Off

Don't tell me how much
Better it was in the 80's
Don't talk about the brotherhood
Lost within the scene
To me you were always a quitter
From day one, just like you proved
Me right in the long run
No longer you wear the crown

I see it every day
Everywhere I look they say
Another life has been taken away
It makes my stomach turn
But livin' here you gotta learn
Get used to it, it's reality
Say your prayers
Hope it won't happen to you
Mind you business
Do what you gotta do
Don't look for trouble
Sometimes trouble finds you
What can you do, what can I do ?

One on one fights don't exist
Fist fights are extinct
Nowadays people don't seem to think
They can't see how easy
It is to set a soul free
That decision is not theirs to make

Repeat chorus

Now you see what I mean
Protecting my family and me
What can I do ?

It makes my stomach turn
But livin' here you gotta learn
You gotta fight back when someones
Tries to take your life from you

You wake up every morning
In this living hell
Not knowing that
You're worst enemy is me
You never know what can happen
Within this cell
Betrayal is what I feel
Revenge is what I seek

No hesitation, no turning back
I gotta do it, I have no choice
Gotta do what I
Gotta do for the crew
Down by law
What you did I can't
Forgive my so called brother
I can't let my feelings
get in the way

Why you turn your back
On the crew
We always had your back
We'd die for you
You ratted on your boy
Something you never do
Now his life is over
And yours is too

Down by law
We made a promise to eachother
A promise that you choose to break
We stuck together no matter what
My brother
You turned you're back
And proved you're fake

Repeat 2nd verse

Down by law
You've left me no choise
The strenght of a gesture
A thought with no voice

Repeat chorus

The clock is ticking
You're time is up
Now's my chance, I gotta move fast
Our memories I put to rest
It's the law we chose to live by
You broke the fuckin' rules
You must die
Why

You say that you've been there
Think that you've seen it all
You keep frontin' like you know it all
You let ignorance set in and
Control your life
Runnin' your mouth into
Extreme heights
You chose to dis me and the crew
You played yourself like a fool
Showing pride's far
Beyond your might
Push came to shove
Now it's time to fight
Tell me how you're livin'
Face to face
Tell me how you're livin'
Is it in disgrace ?

Repeat 1st verse

The time has come for all to hear
Madball's back so just beware
The time has come to
Set it all straight
Speaking the truth because
I got a lot of hate
To all who got beef
Get ready to fight

The battle begun
We'll show you who's right
We're takin' over and
We're letting you know
The crew is runnin' the show

It's time, time to
Set the record straight
Speaking the truth
Cause I got a lot of hate
In my mind you can't see
What's going on
We're taking over and
Now you're time has come

Time has come, I'm on the attack
Ball of destruction is bringin'
it back
Hardcore lives through me
The time has come for all to see
To all who got beef
Get ready to fight
The battle begun we'll
Show you who's right
Takin' over and we're
Letting you know
The crew is runnin' the show

Born into violence
Didn't know any other way
This life of crime he was destined
For, and this is his fate
From a broken home
Getting beat was an everyday thing
This is what is going down everywhere
And for him it's too late

can't blame him
There's nothing he can do
They made him take their abuse
And he's takin' it out on you
It's my turn, I'm takin'
It out on you
The world is mine
And no onecan take it from me

That's his mentality
That's why he got put away
Did his share of time
And he's out and back
To his old ways
Got wiser, became a leader and took
Control of the streets
Turned his gang into an empire
Now he can't get beat
