Mitts [Madball,Skarhead]

Your worst enemy is yourself
Who do you believe in?
Well, I believe, I believe in me
Will you fight or give in?

I'll stop at nothing to be something
Who do they believe in?
In themselves, they believe in me
How will you lead them?
By making something out of nothing

Self doubt has been getting the best of me
For way to long
I've been fighting this, fighting this all my life
Now I'm ready for it to be gone

I know I have the courage
I know I have the strength too
I know I have the will
The power to do what I want to do

Adapt and overcome
Rise above all those mistakes and flaws
I'll learn from it and then
I'll climb every obstacle and every wall

Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?

Believe in yourself now
Who do you believe in?
Well I believe, I believe in me
Will you fight or give in?

I'll stop at nothing to be something
Who do they believe in?
In themselves, they believe in me
How will you lead them?
By making something out of nothing

Escape only in my mind
Hate within these walls I find
Break the cycle of viciousness
But not in here

Take nothing from me, don't
Make a bad man out of me
Hate within these walls I find
And I'm right here

There is no place for the weak here
This is the home of the wicked men
Even if I'm just passing through
At any time my life could end

I will die fighting if I have to
I will bring one of you with me
I'm only here for moment in time
It could become an eternity

I'll take with me what I see behind these walls
So that I'll never forget when I start to slip or fall
Wait, remember those behind the walls
Who live in regret and some won't make it out at all

Don't forget

I am all alone in here
That is how I'll do my time
These are the days of reckoning
I'm lucky to be just a passerby

I will stay longer if I have to
I will retain my dignity
I am only here for a moment in time
It feels like an eternity

I'll take with me what I see behind these walls
So that I'll never forget when I start to slip or fall
Wait, remember those behind the walls
Who live in regret and some won't make it out at all

I've been around for some time now
And I really don't care what some people think about me
I've been called a lot of things some good, some bad
I've had many people doubt me

I'm not ashamed of anything when it comes to this
I stay true to the game
And when the flames were burning slow
I grabbed the torch and let everybody know

What the music, the scene means to me
With pride and sincerity
Handed down by our brothers
Is this our legacy?

I've been around the world and back again
I've had the privilege of watching this grow
Transcend beyond the streets, the clubs, the trends
Beyond anything we had imagined

That's what the music, the scene means to me
Pride and integrity
Handed down by our brothers
Is this our legacy?

Madball
Legacy
This is our legacy

It's an honor for us, for me
To stand side by side with those who paved the way for me
It's an honor for us to see so many showing respect
Even those who doubted me and it's only the beginning

That's what the music, the scene means to me
Pride and integrity
Handed down by our brothers
This is our legacy

I see the look in your eyes now
You can't disguise it
I've been there many times myself
The thought alone is antagonizing

Don't self-destruct now
You're a time bomb ticking away
Don't let that anger control your fate
It's not too late

I've gotta call it how I see it
I see myself in you
I've gotta call it how I see it
Friend or foe, I speak the truth

I've gotta call it how is see it
It's part of me and you
I've gotta call it how I see it
'Cause I've got nothing to prove

I feel the hate in your heart kid
It's eating you alive
You're gonna take it out on everyone
Until you bump into the wrong guy

Don't self-destruct now
Live to learn another day
Don't let that anger
Force my hand this way

I've gotta call it how I see it
I see myself in you
I've gotta call it how I see it
Friend or foe, I speak the truth

I've gotta call it how I see it
It's part of me and you
I've gotta call it how I see it
'Til this time bomb is diffused

I'm not telling you to back down
'Cause you should always stand your ground
We have to pick and choose our battles now
Are you sure you wanna go all out?

'Cause I can be a time bomb too
And if you light my fuse, I will unload
If you ignite my fuse, I might explode
Don't ignite my fuse

You were the light in the darkness
That I lived in full of redemption and sin
Even though I was surrounded by the best of friends
My future was looking dim

You gave me hope in a time when I lost control
About to lose my soul
You picked me up from the gutters that I once roamed
Helped my see what I now know

When I thought there was no one there for me
Your light shined on me
You gave me hope, you gave me all I need
You set me free

When I fought against myself, to be as good as I can be
You gave me strength, you gave me what I need
You're everything to me

In the darkest of days you came into my life
It was full of so much strife
Self-destruction was the name of the game that I played
You reinforced the values that I had lost at no price or cost

And even when I slipped into the darkness again
You fought to bring me back in

I hope you know what you mean to me
You mean everything, everything
I hope you know that I'd do anything for you
I mean anything

You made a man out of me when I thought I knew it all
I knew nothing
You brought me hope in my darkest days
I love you more than anything

When I thought there was no one there for me
Your light shined on me
You gave me hope, you gave me all I need
You set me free

When I fought against myself to be as good as I could be
You gave me strength you gave me what I need
You're always there for me

I won't walk away from you, not like this
I have unfinished business
We went away for a minute, I know
Two years and a minute I suppose, here we go

Back on this journey again
For worse or for better, we came to make amends
With ourselves, our friends and our families
This is for them now

I've seen a lot of changes
(A lot of changes)
Within ourselves, within our scene
I'm not trying to rearrange things

There's only one way, I can say this
(I can say this)
We've come back for the crown
It's time to claim it

It's only begun, the second chapter of what's to come
We're not done
We strayed for a minute, I know
It's time we let everybody know, here we go

We're back on this grind again
For worse or for better, we came to represent
Ourselves and our friends, our families
This is for them again

I've seen a lot of changes
(A lot of changes)
Within ourselves, within our scene
I'm not trying to rearrange things

There's only one way, I can say this
(I can say this)
We've come back for the crown
It's time to claim it

Where there's love there's always hate
Where there's respect there's always envy
We know some wanna see us fail

We won't stop 'til I get what's mine
We've stood the test of time
Now we will prevail, we came for the crown

I've seen a lot of changes
(A lot of changes)
Within ourselves, within our scene
I'm not trying to rearrange things

There's only one way, I can say this
(I can say this)
We've come back for the crown
It's time to claim it

This is the last time that I say this
We are here for the crown
It's time to claim it

In a world full of war and hate
What do you think, is there any salvation?
Is there any hope for the future in these times of
The revelations?

In this world that we can't escape
Have we exceeded our expectations?
Have we gone too far with technology
To protect our nations?

(I speak)
For me and my generation
I have to ask these questions
(For them)
For me

In this world full of war and hate
All we can do is ask these questions
I pray for the best, the future is not
Yours, mine or anyone's

On the eve of our destruction
Has anyone asked us
How do we feel about the future of humanity?
This is insanity

(I speak)
For me and my generation
I have to ask these questions
(For them)
For me, for everyone

What is this world comin' to?
That is the question that I have to ask all of you
Who hold the proof and the world
In the palm of your hands

Well it's not one country, it's not one man
It's all of you who spread the fear
Desire to control it all, make your choices wisely
Or we're dead as planned

I woke up from a dream today, I thought of you, Jay
I looked at the clock, it read 2:22
I know that you are here with me like every day
Still I miss you in every way
Your coolness, your presence
I'll see you on the other side someday

Until then, I'll honor you my friends
Your spirit will always live
It will live through me
Until then, you have gone but you're not forgotten
You're more than a memory
You will always be a part of me

I was on the east side today and I thought of you, Mike
I had a drink, said a prayer, wiped my face
I knew that you were there with me like every day
Still I miss those good old days
Your laughter, your presence
I will see you on the other side someday

Until then, I'll honor you my friends
Your spirit will always live
It will live through me
Until then, you have gone but you're not forgotten
You're more than a memory
You will always be a part of me

Until then, I will honor you every way that I can
Until then, I will be missing you my friends
Until then

Sometimes I feel I'm against the ropes
Fighting for my life
Give me just one second to rest
I'll come back with an overhand right

I can't let circumstances get me down
Or knock me out
I've been in too many scuffles
Way too many bouts

Fight, there is no mercy for the helpless in this life
Fight, whatever hand you're dealt, you should be ready to fight
Fight, never surrender, keep your guard up all the time
Fight, always remember, everything worth having is worth the fight

Here I am still sticking and moving
Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing
My instincts tell me to just keep throwing the jab

In this life situations
Sometimes get you down
But if you're not out, there's no excuses
Get up and fight now

Fight, there is no mercy for the helpless in this life
Fight, whatever hand you're dealt, you should be ready to fight
Fight, never surrender, keep your guard up all the time
Fight, always remember, everything worth having is worth the fight

Get up and fight

I don't have the answers
But I'm still in the fight
I'll bob and weave then land a few
Then I feel alright

You have to seize the moment
Or at least you have to try
Create opportunities for yourself
In this ring of life

Fight, there is no mercy for the helpless in this life
Fight, whatever hand you're dealt, you should be ready to fight
Fight, never surrender, keep your guard up all the time
Fight, always remember, everything worth having is worth the fight

Another night turns into day
I haven't slept yet, but I'm okay
See if you dabble with fire, there'll be hell to pay
I might as well have a drink to wash away the pain

More cocaine, the devil's in my system, he won't go away
My mind wanders further but I'm not insane
This is just my life, my reality
I've got my pistol on the side of my waist

Don't start, no shit and I won't shoot up the place
My aims kinda bad and my eyes are glazed
But I brought extra clips just in case

Here I am again on the lower east side
Doing my thing, I'm damned
Damned, yes I am
Another night full of crime and sin, so damned
Damned

Here I am night after night
Breaking night again, I'm damned
Damned
And I can't get myself
Out of this rut I'm living in

Another day turns into night
I'm running on fumes, but I'm alright
At least that's what I tell myself every day
I might as well have another drink to wash away the pain

More cocaine, the devil's got a grip and he won't get away
My mind is an altered state
But I'm still the same person
I used to be, right?

Here I am again on the lower east side
Doing my thing, I'm damned
Damned, yes I am
Another night full of crime and sin, so damned
Damned

Here I am night after night
Breaking night again, I'm damned
Damned
And I can't get myself
Out of this rut I'm living in

I've been waiting a long time to give you a piece of my mind
You can run but you can't hide from who you are inside
And you don't want to confront me

No, I know your kind
You've been runnin' the same old lies
Keelin' over on your mines

You'll see, it's all in a matter of time
You're gonna hafta confront me
We're all in this game, we don't believe
The loyalty comes for free
You only get respect when it's given out

Make no mistake, you're the enemy
Make no mistake, you are my enemy

Still here after many hard years
When will you realize
You can't kill what won't die?
They've tried but the strong survive

I'm only tellin' you one time, you're livin' a lie
You've been cryin' some words of gettin' tired
How can we talk with that closed mind?
You pass judgment, you cross the line

And you never confront me
'Cause we're all in this game, we don't believe
Loyalty comes for free
You only get respect when it's given out

Make no mistake, you're the enemy
Make no mistake

Check out the black down?
You don't know me
I never back off
'Cause you're my enemy

(One Two Three Four)
Hardcore we live this we breathe this
You can't stop what can't be defeated
Hardcore pride hardcore pride hardcore pride
hardcore lives in me!
blah

I don't believe in this segregation
This separation is not a part of our scene
We're a part of the same thing
What ever happened to unity?

Don't point your fingers in any direction
We all have different beliefs
That's just a fact of life, reality
Who do you think you are with that elitist mentality?

Live your own life, don't be the judge of me
Think twice, before you tell me how to be
Whose right, whose wrong doesn't matter to me
It's my life, so don't say nothin'

I hope you're listening, pay attention
I'm not one to preach
But if you believe these words then listen carefully
I'll tell you what I don't believe

I don't believe in discrimination, integration
I don't judge by look
What you eat or drink doesn't matter to me
It's about respect, equality

Live your own life, don't be the judge of me
Think twice, before you tell me how to be
Whose right, whose wrong doesn't matter to me
It's my life, so don't say nothin'

Live your own life, don't be the judge of me
Think twice, before you tell me how to be
Whose right, whose wrong doesn't matter you see
It's my life, so don't pass judgment on me

I'm tryin' to let you know
Don't let ignorance get the best of you
Tear down these walls they have to fall
You can't divide us, hardcore unite us

Live your own life, don't be the judge of me
Think twice, before you tell me how to be
Whose right, whose wrong doesn't matter to me
It's my life, so don't say nothin'

Live your own life, don't be the judge of me
Think twice, before you tell me how to be
Whose right, whose wrong doesn't matter you see
It's my life, so don't pass judgment on me

Live your own life
Live your own life
Live your own life
Live your own life

Even when I
Walk away from all of this
I won't forget your faces
The places that I've been

For so many years, so many friends
Times that we cherish now and then
We can't replace them
But we can look ahead

I give all my respect to you, my friends
After all I've seen, and all we've been through
This is a worldwide thing
All across the world I say to you, my friends
Thanks for all the love, for always staying true
Now it's a worldwide thing

Don't confuse my words
I'm not finished yet
There's more to see, more to express
More to conquer, nevertheless still

I'm humbled by it all
Will we rise or fall?
I won't stand complacent
We will make our statement

From New York to the west coast, all across the lands
Overseas in Europe, and Japan
Australia to New Zealand
To South America, well, here we go again

I give all my respect to you, my friends
After all I've seen, and all we've been through
This is a worldwide thing
All across the world I say to you, my friends
Thanks for all the love, for always staying true
Now it's a worldwide thing

Now it's a worldwide thing
This is a worldwide thing
Is everybody with me?
It's a worldwide thing
Is everybody with me?
Now it's a worldwide thing
