Lyrics
Shoc-A-Fella:
My neck dun look like it's got an inflammation so I'm gettin' discrimination recievin' my limitations/
cuz' i'm part of the black nation so when the crimes happens we dark folks get the instant incriminations/
but i'm still survivin' tha devastation so now I'ma start causin' complications when i'm rippin'~the~mic/
i'm gettin'~the~light but i still see no idea behind gettin' all mad and killin' folks and then gettin'~all~hype/
y'all ain't dentin'~my~might cuz' i'm still standin' behind my beliefs and i'm constantly findin' relief/
for the simple fact that i can breathe ain't bein' chased by the police ain't smokin' weed nothin' i ever did was weak/
ya up the creek cuz' when i speak i'm the judge~of~death and y'all should know i'm tough~as~vets/
i haven't had e-nough~just~yet I've done many things and had many beefs but i still don't find much~regrets/
HOOK :
Ya’ll better just stand up for what u believe in
And don’t commit treason against ya own ideas and reasons
Cos every season theres a reason to get heated
If ya’ll cant take it – ya’ll will never beat it
Ya’ll just better stand up for what u believe in
And don’t commit treason against ya own ideas and reasons
Cos every season theres a reason to get heated
If ya’ll cant take it – ya’ll will never beat it
Hollow:
Within in hours our sense of liberty tasted too sour
Its sad unity had to come from the fall of two towers
Showers of shrapnel as the masses scream, duck and cower
And yet the blasted media continue to scour and devour~
Now after all this reflection, tell me who are the real cowards
Catching flack because they tell me I don't know about raw words [yeah right]
I'm caught in a war between the ceiling and floor
6,000 square feet, millions in net worth, yet these bitches still want more
The status quo got destroyed by reporters turned martyrs
But for starters the industry explored with void charters
Everyone wants to be black so ebonics becomes what's hard
Fucking retards don't know we lose when we play that race card
Maybe I am too political, maybe thoughts escape you when I say
"Times are changing", even though I am clearly sick I am A.O.K.!

ShockWave:
From the second I stepped out.. till the second I die
I’ve been – second priority.. second in line
Every breath was a lie.. never told the truth
Kicked outta the house.. and left to live colder youth
Grew older knew…….. that it wasn’t the end
Moved up to new heights.. watched trouble descend
Got mixed up in bad shit.. consequences tragic
But u don’t miss ya childhood if ya never had it
I slacked~in school.. peer pressure, tryna be cool
Goin downhill in a hurry - still actin a fool
Gradually grew from youth and knew its actually true
U don’t know where I’m comin from unless its happened to you
Started a new from scrap~and then moved to rappin
First ConneXion now Knowledge.. bitch.. Salute The Captain!
With time to do it.. you’ll win with ya mind put to it
Cos ShockWave and The Architects designed ya blueprint
( ( ( HOOK ) ) )
Fallen:
If its treason, believe it wasn’t me that conceived it.
I just receive all the fiending from the teams of polices.
Agree to succeed or retreat to your safe house.
Good deeds are a fake out, it seems like a shake down.
Please take the same route, and follow your pride.
A common disguise see’s all the fallen collide.
Simplified for simple minds, the brittle deteriorate.
Its a serious fate that slopes at an inferior rate.
Clear all mistakes, and change all the alibis.
Because lies and hypocrisy are where all your talent shines.
Life in the balance, and all the weight’s in the distance.
Fate is resisted until all its faces get lifted
Stable decisions make fables convincing.
And everyone who steps up, will get faded in prison.
A change is in vision, we need to rectify.
Set right the wrongs, or just expect to die.
( ( ( HOOK ) ) )
