2. DEATH COMES IN 3'S

[feat. Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed]

Dragging death
'Round the corner
Led to the slaughter
We all watch in horror
The gavel drops
The court's in order
Shackled to the reaper
A lifetime of torture
No one can stop it
The walls are closin in
Handed down by 12
The verdict is in

Life is a death sentence
Trapped in the abyss
Life is a death sentence
No one ever makes it outta this

Haunting death
The siren rings
Judgement day
And the pendulum swings
An execution
The hangman sings
"All hail the terror
That the reaper brings"
No one can stop it
The walls are closin in
Handed down by 12
The verdict is in

Life is a death sentence
Trapped in the abyss
Life is a death sentence
No one ever makes it outta this
No one ever makes it outta this
(No one ever makes it outta this)

I'm doing time time time
That I'll never see again
Chained to the reaper
I'm paying for my sins
I'm doing time time time
That I'll never see again
Stuck in purgatory
The Pale horse is closing in

And they say death comes in 3's
Now the pendulum swings
The judge and the jury
The hangman all sing
Death comes in 3's
Now the pendulum swings
Now what you sow you will reap
Judgement doesn't sleep

Life is a death sentence
Trapped in the abyss
Life is a death sentence
No one ever makes it outta this

Judgement doesn't sleep

Life is a death sentence
Trapped in the abyss
Life is a death sentence
Judgement doesn't sleep

3. Hell On Earth

"Alright, we got a story to tell
It goes like this..."

Whatcha gonna do when your stomach is empty?
I'm gonna take mine, motherfucker, don't temp me
How you gonna live being down in the trenches?
This clip don't jam and it's got an extension, now listen

LIFE TURNS COLD
When your past is here to haunt you
La muerte riding shotgun
While you're living out your rear view
LIFE TURNS COLD
Revenge without forgiveness
Make peace with your god
Yourself and your religion
(Make peace with your god
Yourself and your religion)

This is Hell on earth
(Hell on earth, Hell on earth)
Born into a life that's cursed
This is Hell on earth
(Hell on earth, Hell on earth)
Destined to burn

Dirty weapons, hollow tips, and trench knives
Black hoodie, balaclava, and shaved 9's
Known affiliates so they don't talk on phones
But you can get a couple Nike prints on the door outside your home
(Get a couple Nike prints on the door outside your home)

This is Hell on earth
(Hell on earth, Hell on earth)
Born into a life that's cursed
This is Hell on earth
(Hell on earth, Hell on earth)
Destined to burn

This is Hell on earth (earth, earth)

They're sitting in a All black regal
And it's right outside your house
They got on all black ski masks
So you know what they're about, singing...
"Knock knock, you better come up out that house
Or we're coming in to leave your brains up on the couch"
("Knock knock, you better come up out that house
Or we're coming in to leave your brains up on the couch")

This is Hell on earth
(Hell on earth, Hell on earth)
Born into a life that's cursed
This is Hell on earth
(Hell on earth, Hell on earth)
Destined to burn

("Knock knock, you better come up out that house")
This is Hell on earth
(Hell on earth, Hell on earth)
("Or we're coming in to leave your brains up on the couch")
Born into a life that's cursed
("Knock knock, you better come up out that house")
This is Hell on earth
(Hell on earth, Hell on earth)
("Or we're coming in to leave your brains up on the couch")
Destined to burn
("Knock knock, you better come up out that house")
("Or we're coming in to leave your brains up on the couch")

4. Live By The Gun

[feat. Body Count & ICE-T]

When you live by the gun
You gonna die by one
And we only know pain
I was born to die
And then buried alive
In a shallow grave

When you pray for rain you've got to deal with the flood
Born in hell so I got fire in my lungs

Hungry, hungry dogs bite back
Close your eyes
That's death around the corner
Hungry, hungry dogs bite back
Open your eyes
This life is torture

When you live by the gun
You gonna die by one
Learn a lesson from the OG
God won't respond
Now the ski masks on
I'm the last of a dying breed

When you're in these streets
You keep your enemies close
Pitbull mentality
We go for the throat

Hungry, hungry dogs bite back
Close your eyes
That's death around the corner
Hungry, hungry dogs bite back
Open your eyes
This life is torture

Don't say you were never warned
Nightmares in physical form
Last of a dying breed
We go for the throat
We go for the throat

Hungry dogs bite back, they bite back
Hungry dogs bite back, they bite back
Keep my enemies close when I'm in these streets
Pitbull mentality, last of a dying breed

Live by the gun you gon die by one
9mm with a 50 round drum
I am the pale horse, the one you were warned of
Born in the gutter motherfucker, that's where I'm from

Hungry dogs bite back, they bite back
Hungry dogs bite back, they bite back
I keep my enemies close when I'm in these streets
Pitbull mentality, I'm last of a dying breed

5. Cold Water Farewell

No future, no hope
Behind the wire and got nowhere to go
In the fire breathing in smoke
My lungs collapse and I choke

Looked to the sky but...
My god don't know my name
These prayers are poison
My god don't know my name

Looked to the sky but...
My god don't know my name
These prayers are poison

Set my body ablaze
Then bury me in the lake

Let me drown
The current drags me to hell
Let me drown
A cold water farewell

Set my body ablaze
Then bury me in the lake

Let me drown
The current drags me to hell
Let me drown
A cold water farewell

6. STORIES FROM the GUTTER PT. II

[feat. E-Town Concrete]

Stories from the gutter part 2

Broken windows
Spilt liquor
Roaches in the sink
Lemme paint the picture
Broken locks
Spilt blood
Call 911
They ain't even showing up

Call 911
And they ain't even showing up?
Nah not around here
Not where we grew up
Welcome to the gutter
Welcome to the slums
Welcome to the concrete
Where I come from

Stories from the gutter part 2
Nightmares are coming true
Stories from the gutter part 2
Bring the terror to your living room

Bring the terror to your living room
Bring the terror to your living room

And I know
Everybody won't make it
Their skin is too thin
They can't take it
Their stomach is weak
They can't shake it
Saw the gates of hell
Been face to face with it

Saw the gates of hell?
Been face to face with it?
Hell yeah
Saw a bullet with my name on it
So tell me where you placed it?
Right between my mandibles
Just for the taste of it

Stories from the gutter part 2
Nightmares are coming true
Stories from the gutter part 2
Bring the terror to your living room

Bring the terror to your living room

A lotta homicides where I come from
A lotta mamas cryin' where I come from
Ain't nowhere to hide where I come from
It ain't the type of place you can run from

It ain't the type of place you can run from

Death smiles
With teeth that are rotten
I didn't answer when it rang
It was the reaper that's callin'
We all die alone
But I won't die forgotten
Live from the gutter
Bodies rolled up in carpets

Reporting live from the gutter
Bodies rolled up in carpets
Live from the gutter
Bodies rolled up in carpets

7. New Money Old Pain

Now I got this pain in my stomach
From chasing demons that I never confronted
Chasing demons just to bring 'em to justice
Broken and rusted
And only left me disgusted

Now have you ever bet it all
Just to realize the game is for sale?
Back against the wall
As the hammer drives in another nail

New money and old pain
Chained to the grave
And we all die the same
Chained to the pain
I've been living in vain
And there's no escape
New money and old pain

Now have you ever bet it all
Just to realize the game is for sale?
Back against the wall
As the hammer drives in another nail

Now have you ever bet it all
Just to realize the game is for sale?
Back against the wall
As the hammer drives in another nail
As the hammer drives in another nail

Askin' god to show mercy and he's laughing
Tried run from my past and outlast it
Here's my soul you can have it
That's one more nail in the casket

Askin' god to show mercy and he's laughing
Tried run from my past and outlast it
Here's my soul you can have it
That's one more nail in the casket

8. DEATHBED CONFESSION

[feat. Jasta & Hatebreed]

Driving 125 in the car and I crashed it
I didn't see the turn then I braked and I panicked
Reaching for a lifeline but I couldn't grasp it
Still lookin' in the rear view, I can't get past it

Woke up in broken glass and plastic
Sirens wail, they're shutting down traffic
Looked down, blood leaking out of my jacket
Looked for an answer and god didn't have it
Damnit

Sped through life
Running red again
Through every night
As the last light

How come everything that I touch turns tragic?
Pleading with the nurse for morphine lemme have it
Asking if I've had visitors but I haven't
Cause nothing I ever loved ever lasted

And I can feel my heart crashin'
Hospital bed now it's feeling like a casket
Looked down blood soaking through the mattress
Looked for an answer and god didn't have it
Damnit

Sped through life
Running red again
Through every night
As the last light dims

Sped through life
Running red again
Through every night
As the last light
As the last light dims

Reality comes crashing in
Deathbed confession as the last light dims

If I die young
If I die young
If I die young

I don't need your forgiveness
And depression is a sickness
I know cause I've lived it

If I die young

Let me bury myself
One foot in the grave
And I still can't ask for help

If I die young

9. At War With The Gods

[feat. Los of Desmadre]

Pain and sorrow
The dope is laced with it
No tomorrow
You're pushing diesel past your weight limit
Oh god, this can't
Be my brother, I can't watch him suffer
Broken hands holdin' a shovel
Digging for a vein, ripping right through the muscle

War
On the front lines in my mind
With
Only myself to confide
The
Violence in the sky
Gods
At war with the gods

Scratching at the roof
Of a coffin with your name in it
Tried to cross over
But your money is no good and you can't pay for it
Force fed, false hope
"Peace awaits on the other side of dope"
Force fed, false hope
Blood on the wall was the suicide note

War
On the front lines in my mind
With
Only myself to confide
The
Violence in the sky
Gods
At war with the gods

War
On the front lines in my mind
With
Only myself to confide
The
Violence in the sky
Gods
At war with the gods

At war with the gods
At war with the gods
At war with the gods

I am the alpha, the omega
The broken key to Heaven
The forever unforgiven
I am the pain you cannot shake
The loss you couldn't take
And the nightmare that keeps you awake

I am the nightmare
The nightmare that keeps you awake
I am the nightmare
The nightmare that keeps you awake

10. Bonnie & Clyde '05

Bonnie and Clyde, 2005
You showed me your pain and I showed you mine
I showed you my scars and you showed me yours
You and I against the world
You and I against the world

I'd split the earth for you
Dragging heaven to hell
I'd split the earth in two
Dragging heaven to hell

Bonnie and Clyde, 2009
Oakland boulevard, just you and I
We had like 50 bucks in our bank account
Tired, hungry, and stressing out
But it's still fuck the world until we die

I'd split the earth for you
Dragging heaven to hell
I'd split the earth in two
Dragging heaven to hell
Dragging heaven to hell
Dragging heaven to hell

Fuck 'em all
Fuck 'em all
It was always me and you from the start
Through the light and the dark

Through the light and the dark

So fuck 'em all
Yeah fuck 'em all
It was always me and you from the start
Through the light and the dark
It was always me and you from the start
Through the light and the dark

11. EXIT WOUNDS

[feat. Malevolence]

And I don't think I have it in me
Lord knows I wanna die
And my heart is still empty
So maybe this 9
Really kills the monster in me
I got it chambered
And peace is waiting on me

But I don't know man
What if I regret it?
What if depression is genetic?
And the same pain came for my son
And it possessed him
'Cause I wasn't there to protect him
I wasn't there to protect him

Floating, floating face down
Let me sink, let me drown
Floating, floating face down
Let me sink

Yeah, they say the good die young
But moms aren't supposed to bury their sons
They ain't posed to try and dissect
Where the pain came from or wonder
If it's something they did wrong

But my demons callin' and I'm finally gonna answer them
The Devil at my door, I'm finally gonna let him in
Been takin' these pills since I was a kid
And now I'm too tired to swim
Too tired to swim

Floating, floating face down
Let me sink, let me drown
Floating, floating face down
Let me sink, let me drown

Forgive me father for I am sin
I'm a reflection of the demons I let in
A mirror image of the monsters in my skin
I am the wind, I am the rain
I am the trauma I was born in
I am the trauma I was born in

Life is hell so death must be heaven
Life is hell so death must be heaven
Life is hell so death must be heaven
And this depression is a weapon, bring the fuckin' armageddon

And this depression is a weapon, bring the fuckin' armageddon
And this depression is a weapon, bring the fuckin' armageddon
