Ten Yard Fight

You never gave a shit about the kids
You sold us out for a higher bid
I guess it was time for you to grow up
Now you can't play for us
Because we won't show up
So much for the pounding in your heart
Your actions no longer fit the part
You sold us out, and now you want more
Come to your show? What the fuck for?
Now it's you that stands to the side
We've had enough
Of your so called hardcore pride
Our faith in you has long since died
You had us fooled
But now we see it was a lie
You never were one of us
No longer do you have our trust
How soon you forget
The words you once spoke
Was it all a big fucking joke?

Honor and friendship, the things that you lack. you used us all, then turned your back. now we can see the real you. you talked a big game but never followed through. you made your choice! you made your choice! i hope you achieve the goals you have set. but goals mean nothing when you forget. your dreams, our spirit, what we're about. you had it all man, but chose to sell out. when i look into your eyes, i want to be sick. the person i once trusted is now a hypocrit. face up, you lost what we had together. you thinking you're winning now but pride is forever. Pride is forever(x3)

You want to force me out of what ive earned. but im not running, not too concerned. because in my heart i know who i am, i know where ive been and where i stand. when the dust settles...you'll be gone. and we'll still...be standing strong. you think you know what im about. you havent got a clue. not the slightest idea what ive been through. im not going anywhere, i watched you come. and ill watch you go!

So many times,
I've been asked why
Why do you even bother,
Why do you even try
But I have to believe,
We have to believe
It can be better than we all see
For you...for me!
We have to believe (x2)
Nothing compares
With the strength we share
Unity, because we care
I won't forget
What we've been through
You believe in me
And I'll believe in you.

I know i won't be alone in the end,
But there won't be as many
As i once thought there would
And it's so fucking sad man
Because i know we all should
And you know it too man
Because we've been through this shit before
But we're still together
And we're both proud to be straight
So many of my friends have fallen
But i know that is not my fate
And i'm still standing
In the same place and i'm still
Proud to be straight!
You said you'd be here until the end
Now you're gone
I guess thats the way it goes
No matter how hard i try
I can't make you see
I thought we had the same goals
Now i stand here alone
And i'm still so fucking proud
They said i'd grow out of it
They said i'd never last
But i'm still standing-
So fucking proud-
Now we'll see who laughs last.
We're still proud to be straight -
And we always will be.

There was a time when we stood side by side.
Our view was the same, why would that change?
All the laughs we shared, I remember so well. nothing could touch us.
Our bond was true. I saw you on the street, you looked to the side.

Your new friends look just like you so go ahead and take your best shot.
I've seen it all before. I remained true while others dropped.
I've got a tight grip, I'll stay on top.
I'll hold on...until my last fucking breath!

You never cared! Can't change my heart. Can't
Change what I'm about. Test my sincerity my spirit
What I shout. The times we shared all the things
You said I look around and you're no where to be
Found. Confidence enough to stand by my words I
Live and I breathe and I want to be heard I won't
Let you force me to the back. Overcome the
Obstacles that stand in my path. Accept all the
Consequences of my actions Fueled by the
Convictionand goals of my passion. All you fucking
Said it didn't mean shit. When things got hard you
Gave in and quit. First sign of trouble and you're
Running scared. It's plain as day you never
Fucking cared Don't give me that shit about people
Changing It's just an excuse because you couldn't
Hang in. All you fucking said it didn't mean shit.
When things got hard you gave in and quit I won't
Rely on the support of a chemical crutch... NO!
Beat ploys to destroy me to the punch. To the
Fucking punch! You... Never... Cared Did you ever
Believe in the way you lived? And how about now?
Are you proud? No... You never fucking cared!

We looked you in the eye
And expressed our views
So next time you cross us
You've got no excuse
You know how we feel
You know we're for real
Our beliefs are fierce
And we will not yield

Don't come near us
With your words of hate
Don't come near us
When you're in that state

They've altered your mind
And distorted your views
But you can't blame them because
You accept the abuse
You know you're wrong
But refuse to change
It's not you, it's your ways i hate

Don't come near us
No! keep it away!
Don't come near us
With your words of hate
Don't come near us
When you're in that state
You know you're wrong
But you refuse to change

It's so easy to slip back
But it's vital that we stay on track
Come together and move as one
Stride forward and we'll get things done

Rise to the challenge
Don't turn and run away
You only get one chance
To live this fucking day

Forget about those boundaries
That you set
Take those limits right out of your head
There's no question that it can be done
Commit yourself
And the battle's already won

Don't lose sight of your goals
What the future holds
It can be so fucking bright
Don't throw in the towel without a fight
There's nothing stopping you
From reaching your full potential
Take charge and have your say
Don't let it all slip away

Forget about those boundaries
That you set
Take those limits right out of your head
There's no question that it can be done
Commit yourself
And the battle's already won

Commitment... conquers... all!
That stands in your way

There's nothing that we cannot achieve
If we work together as a team
Don't get caught up in who's right
Remember we're on
The same fucking side

People like you make me so fucking sick
Pushing your poison in my face
Well face up to this

Preying on the innocent
Strike them while they're young
Advertising ploys convince them
That they're having fun

Our future lies in strength and
Our strength lies in youth
Your fucked up products may be legal
But...
We know the truth!

The war on drugs what a fucking joke
They'd never ban the products
That help them fucking cope
Never mind the lives wasted everyday
For the right amount
They'll look the other way.

We're in this together and i won't forget
What lies in the past
Still lives inside of us
And when that moment comes
And we all release

It breaks free

Sometimes called spirit
And other times pride
Strength, goals, holding true
All these feelings build inside
And what we take for granted
May not always last

We've lasted so long but let's not waste
What time we've got left
It's not as much as you think
I wish this could last forever
But sooner or later, it breaks free

Sometimes called spirit
And other times pride
Strength, goals, holding true
All these feelings build inside
And what we take for granted
May not always last
We won't forget what lies in the past

Take the time to appreciate
What we hold so dear
Because it may all be gone
So fucking fast

And when that moment comes
And we all release, it breaks free

You wonder why crime's on the rise. Kids are
Willing to compromise their futures by getting
High. And you still don't realize You taught
Them... It was you You taught them to waste their
Lives.

You say it's all been said before
Well that just fucking shows
That you still have no idea
Of what this means to us
You lost sight of something
That you once lived for
So you come down on us
For reminding you
Of what you used to be

You lost sight... you goals changed
Can't bring us down... our spirit remains

We'll keep on spreading this message
That needs to get through
You think we're going to slow down
Because of negative words from you
You said we'd never make it this far
And we're aiming for so much more
We're coming back louder and
Stronger than before

You lost sight... your goals changed
Can't bring us down... our spirit remains

You lost sight. your goals, they changed

I know we're not saying anything
All that new
But it sitll needs to be said
Because of people just like you
Maybe when all the drugs are gone
And the streets are fucking clean
Then maybe we'll stop
But until then this is still our scene

You want to spread rumors. You want to talk some
Shit. Well that's fine, just tell me what's your
Frame of mind? You want to turn this into
Something that it's not should have stayed clear
From the start. Make yourself out to be the victim
And you still don't see that it was your decision.
Made your choice and won't even try to open your
Mind and see through my eyes. Put aside what's
You want to spread rumors. You want to talk some
Shit. Well that's fine, just tell me what's your
Frame of mind? You want to turn this into
Something that it's not should have stayed clear
From the start. Make yourself out to be the victim
And you still don't see that it was your decision.
Made your choice and won't even try to open your
Mind and see through my eyes. Put aside what's
Blinding your sight and you may see things under a
Different light. Want to talk shit? Well that's
Not my game. Just look at the truth. You should
Hang your head in shame. In shame! You want to
Spread rumors well that's fine Just don't expect
Our support the next time you come our way with
That two faced grin. And you still don't see that
You can not win. Made your choice when you spread
Your lies but we've seen what you'd like to hide
On the surface you may appear to be right. What's
Done in the dark always comes to light.

The feelings we have inside the inner force that
Makes us try our goals seem so fucking clear.
Convictions that can't be swayed by fear. Now
We're young and our ideals are strong but will we
Have the strength to carry on when times change
And years pass by. Will we keep alive our spirit
And drive. Getting older but not growing old. It's
My life and I can't be told to do what they say is
Right I won't surrender with out a fight I'm not
Sure where I'm going in my life but I'll try my
Hardest to keep my sight. I'll remember these
Times when they're in the past. These are our
Times. Let's make them fucking last. These are our
Times. The feelings we have inside. The inner
Force that makes us try Our goals seem so fucking
Clear. Convictions that can't be swayed by fear.

Ten Yard Fight Stronger Than Before Lyrics:
Thought we'd break, No! Thought you could break
Us. Thought we'd never last. Called us a joke and
Talked so much trash. Wouldn't give us a chance.
So we made our own path. Tried so hard to cut us
But never left a scratch. Now we're still here
Standing strong. Bet against us we'll overcome the
Odds. I'll remember what you said your hateful
Words. We'll be back again stronger than before.
We'll be back... Stronger... than before. We've
Worked to hard to throw it all away. Didn't
Believe us when we said we were here to stay.
Stand up for what I believe even if I'm knocked to
The ground. Won't ignore what's wrong without
Making a sound. Now we're still here standing
Strong. Bet against us we'll overcome the odds.
I'll remember what you said your hateful words.
We'll be back again stronger than before. We'll be
Back... Stronger... than before! I know you'd love
To see us fall but you've got an awful long wait
Ahead of you because we're just getting started.
All the feelings and ideals that we hold don't
Mean a thing if under pressure. We fucking fold
You can try to knock us down but it's going to be
You that hits the fucking ground. Thought we'd
Break... No! Thought you could break us. Thought
We'd never last. Called us a joke and talked so
Much trash. Wouldn't give us a chance. So we made
Our own path. Tried so hard to cut us but never
Left a scratch. Not a fucking scratch!

(If you were to talk to most athletes that had been around the league, they would say Boston is the place to play.) NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN THE CREW! Our team was committed, and you pledged to lead us through. Day by day, the message spread - Our numbers fucking grew. The plays were written, executed perfectly. Yards were gained, points were scored -A result of unity. Fucking Unity! But then the glory WENT TO YOUR HEAD. You took the credit for all WE FUCKING BLED. We Fucking Bled! You took something pure, and exploited it, for your own fucking fame. You're going down. YOU THOUGHT you were better than us all, but now you see that without your team, you're weak and you're gonna fall. I can't even stand to fucking look at you, you lost your right to be a part OF THE CREW. You're going down! YOU'RE GOING DOWN!

Our actions will speak louder than your fucking words! What did you expect when you went back on every word you ever said to us? Did you think that would build our trust? And I can't even count how many times I didn't call you on that shit, it just rolled off my back. But now that's in the past, because this one last time I cannot fucking laugh. It's so sad to see it turn out this way, but there's only so much that I can say. OUR ACTIONS will speak louder THAN YOUR WORDS! We will not follow your fucking lead (x2). Fuck that man! I will not follow your fucking lead.

Here's my fucking proof! Yeah! Why would I be sorry for living up to a standard I set for myself? Just because you were too weak man - TOO FUCKING WEAK! To make good on - ON YOUR FUCKING WORD? And this truth that I hold is my proof. IT'S THE PROOF that these feelings won't grow cold. But still you try - Perpetuate the lie, and from what I've seen, you've reached an all time low. And these words that I scream are more real than you will EVER FUCKING KNOW. And this truth that I hold is my proof. IT'S THE PROOF that these feelings won't grow cold. WHAT do you have left? ONCE YOU'VE GROWN OLD and lost all YOUR SELF-RESPECT? Well, I'll tell you what I FUCKING SEE - You've got nothing left because your heart's grown so fucking cold.

THE ONLY WAY! It's the only way FOR ME! As long as there's breath in this body, blood will run pure through these veins. And to you my way of thinking seems so fucking strange. But, THROUGH THESE EYES, from what I CAN SEE, it's the only way of living - it's the only way for me. YOU sold out half way through the season, you're giving us all a bad name. I've had enough of you mother fuckers! Is anyone out there still true to the game? And, THROUGH THESE EYES, from what I CAN SEE, it's the only way living, it's the only way for me. THE ONLY WAY... As long as there's breath in this body my blood - BLOOD will run pure THROUGH THESE VEINS. I can't see an excuse when my eyes are always clear, and from what I can see you're the one who lives in fear. You may change but I'll stay true to the game!

I'm not trying to step on anybody, I'm just speaking out on what I know. I won't bite my tongue, I don't give a fuck if I happen to step on your toes. Because if you're doing something fucked up man, then don't cry about being exposed (x2). Maybe I'm the fucking asshole for believing in what I say, but I can't settle for turning my head and looking the other way. Why is everybody so afraid to stand up for something true (x2)? God damn it, maybe it's me, but am I so wrong for believing in WHAT I SAY? I guess what I'm trying to say... At times being honest means standing alone, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Have you ever really listened to WHAT I SAY? Do you really believe in WHAT I SAY? Have you ever even thought about WHAT I SAY? Why can't you fucking hear WHAT I SAY? Listen to what I fucking say.

You don't want the label anymore, so you do your best to try to prove us wrong. All you're doing is proving that we were right about you all along (x2). Your life is based on a lie! So you say your mind is free, but you're just avoiding reality. All you're doing is proving that we were right about you all along (x2). Your whole life is based on a fucking lie, man. YOUR WHOLE LIFE is just a fucking LIE. You lost everything you ever fucking had. You gave up on us so don't come running back. Fuck man, I was hoping I was wrong about you. But once again you proved me right. Don't come back!

I want no part of your politics and bullshit. It has no place! We just want to play and have some fun, but that's not good enough for you. You think you're so deserving, but you've never paid your dues. You want to push us around, but we'll just step aside AND LET YOU THROUGH. You took our trust and abused our friendship. That has no place. You just want to get ahead without a thought to who you hurt along the way. It has no place! We never turned our backs ON YOU but still you found a way to turn it all around and stab us in the back (x2). There's no place for that!
