MADBALL LYRICS

1. Intro

2. Can't Stop, Won't Stop

You are the blood running through my veins.
You are the streets that made me this way.
In you I've lost and regained faith but in my silence I'll never betray.
These are the streets where men are made.
Where our values are sometimes plagued into temptation I dwell for days.
And I can't stop, wont stop living by the gun.
Never one to run from my fears.
Can't stop living this way and I know what my life means to me.
I see there's things that shouldn't be,
I see there's still hope for me.
But I see myself in these streets and I try but I can't stop.
You say there's still time but I wont stop.
And I know there's still hope for me.
But I see myself in these streets.
I pray there's hope for me.

3. Hold It Down

Enough times been wasted and now I'm faced with our realities and what's to come of this scene.
So many come and go, some have disgraced it.
I think it's time we take a stand show them what we mean.
You can't stop this, this thing of ours.
Hold it down.
This things is ours, hardcore is ours.
Time after time, line after line.
I must express the truth 'cause that is what we stand for.
Some live to lie they will defy and deny our roots I pay no mind.
You no who we care for.
And I'm not only speaking for myself I can't.
I hope I speak for everyone else out there.
'Cause a lot of people think that we don't care.
But they can't stop what I'm bringing can't stop what I'm bringing.
Trying to make a change do what I can.
They can't stop what I'm bringing can't stop what I'm bringing.
You can't stop what we're bringing.
Trying to make a change and hold it down 'cause we can

4. Fall This Time

You better think quick,
Act fast before its time you take another blast.
You better think about where you stand 'cause it seems you're on the wrong path.
Used to look down, talk down.
Now you walk down the same path blown out.
You're fooling yourself, you're not proud.
So lean on me to come down.
Choose you're own fate, but this ain't mine.
You've fallen from grace,
I won't let you fall this time.
Out back to back days sniffing gak,
Now you're really on the wrong track.
Do you really want to come back?
Are you losing yourself and do you want that?
I fall this time.
It's not a necessity,
It's just a fantasy and it's too much for me.
Too much of anything is not a good thing.
Fallen and now I plead.

5. Everyday Hate

Everyday I hate more and more 'cause I know the truth.
It's just a role you play and nothing more.
Life's a game to you.
But I live by another set of rules and I know just what it takes to prove.
That weak at heart is what you'll always be.
Your fake ass won't compete with me.
It must be hard to live in disgrace.
They know the truth and now who should you blame?
You have no fucking shame.
I'm the one so blame me.
Everyday I hate I cannot relate.
You'll never be a part of my scene.
You're just a sucker MC,
A fucking wanna be.
Now come and throw joints with me

6. Done...

My memories of better days still stand in my way
Because no matter what I say I still play your game.
The frustration of wanting things that you can't see.
And it's hurting you but it's killing me,
It's feeding my disbelief.
And I take back all that I've done.
I can't take back, what's done is done.
I've seen the pain in your face,
The pain in your eyes.
It's no surprise to me,
I see what I've done wrong.
No sense in holding on,
Now standing side by side,
I hope I tried.
I realize it's the end of our time,
The end of our lives together.
Now there's no words left for me to say 'cause I know that things won't change.
And there's nothing left to rearrange,
All that's left is the memory.
I can't take back all that I've done.
And there's nothing left for me to say because what's done is done

7. Say What?

Say what you want to say - the same old thing.
Say what you want to play - the same old game.
Say what you want to say - I won't change.
Say what you want to say - just look my way.
What you see is what you get.
This is who I am, nothing less.
You think you're better but you bleed red like the rest of us but are you willing to
Now that's the real test.
Who you know,
Where you're from and what you've done in my eyes!
None of that matters.
Staying true to yourself is what we strive for!
Staying true to myself, now who's hardcore?
I say it now, I said it then!
For all those who always try to offend.
You paint a picture but you still don't comprehend
One thing about me 'cause you ain't my friend

8. D.I.F.F.M. (Fuck You)

[Spoken]
This song goes out to all the kids out there who are keeping it real and turning their backs on any hardcore bands that make any money.
Fuck that man.
Hardcore isn't about money,
It's a way of life.
Sure I live with my mom right now,
But I'd live on the streets if I had to.
And I know deep in my heart,
That one day, I'll go to college,
Get a real job,
And forget all about hardcore.
But until then I'm gonna talk as much shit as I can.
Diy!

[Sung]
D.I.F.F.M. Fuck you!
D.I.F.F.M. Fuck you!
D.I.F.F.M. Fuck you!
D.I.F.F.M. Fuck you!
D.I.F.F.M. Fuck you!

9. Show No Fear

I will not hesitate,
If I wait, I give in to chance and I can't live life that way.
Can you read my face?
There's no way I'll turn and walk away so just make your mistake.
So when the time comes I don't care,
When the time comes I'll be there,
When the time comes show no fear,
'Cause it's time and I'm right here.
I will not lose face, I'll save,
Everything I am 'cause that's just how I was made.
I will not hesitate,
If I wait I give into chance and I can't live life that way.
A wise man once said to me
"Son, don't you ever back down to no one",
'Cause I'll be there, don't show no fear.

10. Never Look Back

I know it's hard for me to see,
The way things have come to be but I must leave it be.
Cant keep looking back,
I don't know how to act.
I don't know where to start,
I know I've been here before.
My conscience still believes that it was on me.
My guilty heart bleeds don't want to feel this no more.
So tell me something since you've done nothing except you lied to me.
You said you'd never leave,
After all this I wanted to believe that you still care about my life.
Just tell me something so I can go in peace 'cause we could not make that sacrifice.
After all this I wanted to believe that you still care about me.
It's hard to see, but it must be,
You take away a piece of me.
I never take a step back,
Never look back.
I've come to face the facts and I know where you stand.
I won't take another step back, never look back.

11. Still Searching

New times draw upon me
I can't foresee what's next.
But I feel free to do what I have to do,
I answer to, only G.O.D. I look up to.
Can't say I've changed,
Can't say that I'm still the same.
I maintain through my mind strains to figure out the next move without pain.
Still searching for the way to work it out,
Soul searching can't do nothing about what lies next on life's list,
Will I live, will we ever get out?
Trapped visions that I must believe,
So far away from I can't retreat.
Sometimes I find a way to get mine,
Other times I'm lost, I'm blind.
The pressure gets hard B,
I can't lose track it's always on me.
I can't stray 'cause it won't go away,
Gotta figure out the next move day by day.
Time's out!
Do or die, it's my time, it's my life, it's my time,
Do or die. Do or die, it's our time, it's our lives.
Time's out.

12. Confessions

You're always talking but the things you say have no meaning,
They carry no weight.
Take your time but don't waste mine.
Go sell your stories I'm not looking to buy.
We all have flaws but this is your downfall.
Talking a game you can't even back up and you're so hollow you have no clue.
There's repercussions and they're coming for you.
Confessions ‒ I leave it up to you,
I know where I stand.
Oppressions ‒ something I must choose to make you understand.
To make you understand I don't share your pains 'cause I don't preach about pointless things.
I only speak when I have something to say or I won't fake moves disgrace my name.
Self pride ‒ I can't throw away,
I have too much love for family.
Self pride ‒ I won't throw away,
Raised to be real from the first day.

13. Thinking To Myself

Beware of what's around you.
The elements of life will sometimes take you in.
Bad things always surround you.
It's your choice now to think.
Crime is easy to come by and temptation is bound to bring you down.
Corruption distorts your judgement and it seems you can't trust no one now.
Thinking to myself there's a price to pay.
Is it worth the pain?
The pain of someone taking your life away?
Saying to myself there is a better way.
It's not worth the pain,
The pain of someone taking it all away.
Memories are here to remind you,
Learn from your brothers.
Don't make their mistakes.
Trouble will somehow find you,
It's your choice to contemplate.
Crime don't pay in the long run.
Money ain't worth the risk of death or jail.
I'm not judging no one.
I'm just thinking, talking to myself.

14. Semper Fi

Who's by my side, I'm by your side.
My blood is my loyalty,
My brothers are loyal to me.
Who by my side, this is what I believe.

I never back stab another to save mine,
I stand the time.
For me it's do or die,
These are the rules I live by.
And I shed my blood for my brothers of the same mind,
Of the same kind, who never leave my side.
See we never think twice,
And they shed their blood for me.

Who's by my side, I'm by your side.
My blood is my loyalty,
My brothers are loyal to me.
Who by my side, this is what we believe.

We stand for one another in hard times, in good times.
No matter what we find,
A way so we can get by.
And I shed my blood for my brothers of the same mind,
Of the same kind, who never leave my side.
See we never think twice,
And they shed their blood for me.

To a DMS crew always on top
Reppin NYC you know we don't stop
Going worldwide you know it's non stop
And I shed my blood for my crew
