A Thousand Lies

What is a man that stays true to the game 

But has to cheat a little to get by 

Well that is a person that I know to well 

Don't want to know, but I don't have to ask why 

Everyone like a loaded gun 

You want some shit, I'll fuckin' pound you, son 

Don't need a reason, pain I'm feelin' 

I gotta vent or else I blow inside 



Introspection, termination 

Can't tell right from wrong 

Fed up with this whole system 

It's gone on far too long 



[Chorus:] 

You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times 

Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize 

Thousand lies been told a thousand times 

Hard as nails, the power to survive 



What is a man that stays true to the game 

But can't believe some of the things he sees 

Anger's a gift and I won't be kept down 

In poverty there is no democracy 

Used needle and a crack vile 

A broken bottle and a bullet shell 

This urban life is so volatile 

An inner city or a concrete hell 



Introspection, termination 

Can't tell right from wrong 

Fed up with this whole system 

It's gone on far too long 



[Chorus] 



What is a man don't stay true to the game 

Don't care for no one, only cares for his greed 

He's playin' God killin' thousands of people 

'Cause the power is the fix that he needs 

Racist goal of the white devil 

I watched our souls burnin' over oil 

A politician got no feelin' 

It makes my motherfuckin' cold blood boil 



Introspection, termination 

Can't tell right from wrong 

Fed up with this whole system 

It's gone on far too long 



[Chorus]
