1. Fed Up
I've been down that road And I won't go again It took it's toll on me And all my friends Now I'm tired of settling for less And playing the fool Keep it away I'm trying to keep my cool I'm Fed Up- Fed Up You say I'm not cool Because I'm choosing my friends I won't have that shit Around me ever again I'm denying some rights So you better keep it clear Because you step on mine Whenever you are near AND I'M FED UP - FED UP Smoking that butt It makes you mature A slave to sex And you tell me you're pure You slam that beer It makes you a man I'll try to keep my cool But you better understand UNDERSTAND
2. In My Way
YOU'VE LOST MY RESPECT Say you've got a right And who am I to say But when you do drugs You get in my way I'm not gonna Waste my breath on you I'll let your drugs run you through The things I've been hearing Are scaring me A man made substance That sets your mind free I can't believe You've gone back on your words Those drugs are gonna kill you If I don't get to you first So what you gonna do Be strong or fold? Make the wrong choice You'll do what you're told I'm stepping back And I'm gonna judge you I hope that fucked up head Can tell you what to do I'm keeping it simple And I'm keeping it clear And I won't use words 'Cuz you're too fucked to hear The crew is strong And we're setting it straight And we'll be the judge Of your fucking fate You've lost my respect I've seen your worst And I've seen your best And I Won't settle for anything less I guess you can call me obsessed You've lost my respect You've lost my respect You've lost my respect Keep clear or take my best
3. I've Lost
If only I could put into words The way I feel Telling myself the situation's not real Lost and sometimes I feel I have nowhere to go Because you tell me it's wrong To let my feelings show I've Lost My Place To turn I know I fucked it up I turned away One too many times Suffered from an ego trip That left me fucking blind Friends are telling me The loneliness will go away But the memories will be there As long as The ink in my fingers stays I choose to stay away Because I want to keep control My head is thinking straight But my heart says explode The thought of someone else Is much too much And friendship means You're just beyond my touch
4. New York Crew
I want it back again The spirit that WE ONCE HAD Showing all these new hards They're not SO FUCKIN' BAD You and your crew Would have never MADE IT THROUGH The days we hung out In 1982 The New York Brotherhood I can't let go The New York Brotherhood where did they go? We called it the Wolfpack We called it UNITED BLOOD Wore chains around our waists And CONSTRUCTION GLOVES Thompkins Sq. on a saturday night See my brother, he's in a fight They got him down, it's 3 on 1 10 of us show, GUESS WHO WON? We hung out on 7th and A Friends worked the door We didn't have to pay Boston came around one night Push came to shove and WE WERE DOWN TO FIGHT We have seen the backstab blood Most came and fuckin' went They played the part And they wore the right clothes But they didn't know What the fuck it meant And I see it today My backstabbing brothers Believeing the lies That they're telling each other And I know I'll be here When they're gone 'Cuz the New York Brotherhood Is where my heart belongs In rememberance of old New York And to my friends And the ones I've fought A special place left in my heart Those days are gone, man But they're not forgot
5. Warriors
Your sun is setting And the day grows late As we walk home This wasteland of hate There's people getting angry In the darkest hours There's blood on the streets The streets are ours Warriors, Never Forget The Warriors Our mates are a diamond And we shine like steel You'll never beat us down Because the wounds will never heal Don't take us for a ride You can't rob a warrior Of his pride Warriors, Never Forget The Warriors It's your hate on which we feed We are the new class We are the new breed Send our regards To a nation on fire And with love A boquet of barbed wire From The Warriors, Never Forget The Warriors You'll Never Forget The warriors
