MADBALL LYRICS

1. Look My Way

Look my way, don't hide your face in shame
To me your all the same

I don't need your respect

Our pride and shame, we've held strong through the years
We've come this far, and I see very clear
You faked a smile to show me how much you care
You hypocrites get no respect over here

I know your game B
I keep going strong
You can't fake me
I keep moving on

I see right through your games and all your phony ways, in my world you have no say
Go your way, 'cause I know they'll be a day, when you'll be forced to look my way

Our pride and shame, we've always kept it real
No need to front, or hide the way I feel
You live a lie, afraid to look me in the eye
You have a lot to say, so speak your mind

I know your game B
I keep going strong
You can't fake me
I keep moving on

I'm not to blame
When all your shit blows up in your face
I'm not to blame
'Cause someone's bound to put you in your place
I'm not to blame
For all the times that you were afraid
To just look my way

You hide your face in shame, 'cause you have no integrity, and to me your all the same

I don't need your respect

Our pride and shame, we've held strong through the years
We've Come this far, and I see very clear
You faked a smile to show me how much you care
You hypocrites get no respect over here

I know your game B
I keep going strong
You can't fake me
I keep moving on

2. Moment Of Truth

I'm walkin' down the street
I will not show you fear
No time for sympathy
I give my cold stare
I don't care what you think of me
It's not revenge I seek, it's just you and me
I'm walking down the street
And tension fills the air
I will not think defeat
Moment of truth is here
I don't care what you think of me
It's not revenge I seek, it's you and me

Right now you and me
Right now you and me

All that talking you've done is weak
You got to be about what you speak
All the schism and hype will seize
Once we take this beef to the motherfucking streets

3. Cut Off

I can't help you, you gotta fight for yourself
You did this to yourself and
I reject you, what do you want from me now
After you've let us down
And I don't wanna know the reason why
No excuses for all your funkin' lies
I don't want to hear your alibis
I gotta turn turn my back and walk away
I can't forgive when it's my life at stake
You've played yourself out, now it's too late

The time has come to set you free
My back is turned so you can see
It don't matter to me

The time has come to set you free
My back is turned so you can see
It don't matter to me
Because our friendship is now deceased
When justice serves you'll think of me
It don't matter to me

You played yourself and I've been forced to draw the line
With me you will not find (any pity) It don't matter
You forced my hand, you lied, you've been cut off
And I can't help you out this 'cause it don't matter to me

4. Temptation Or Restraint

I've won and I've lost
The struggle tears me apart
The final judgement means much to me
I try to follow me heart
I know that I try
But are my effort's too weak

It's just a matter of right or wrong
It's what I do and not what I speak
I can't believe that there is no hope

Or else I am sure to give in
I have to keep my faith alive and
Tell myself not to give in

I know that I try
But are efforts too late?
Will I be able to right my wrongs?
Will I be able to conquer my hate?

Temptation or restraint
The choice is left up to me
In the end I hope I prove my faith
In he who judges me

5. Waste Of Time

Wasted my time, you wasted your time on me
Let's face the facts that we must break clean
Fucked with my mind, I was too blind to see
So I waited patiently

I will not stand by and try
I will not stand by your side
You drained the life out of me
Livin' in such misery

Life is not kind, people are filled with greed
You are no exception, you were no friend to me
Fucked with my mind
Took self esteem and I waited anxiously

What did you mean, you said you cared for me
I was so naive, I let walk all over me

I've gained courage, now I am
So better off without you in my life
You sold me out and though it all you fuckin' wasted my time.

I've realized though all your lies you did not think too much of me
You helped yourself and did not think to offer me your company
The hurt inside will heal in time and that's the price I have to pay
And that's just fine, I've done my time and now
I'm glad to walk away cause after all, you fuckin' wasted my time

6. False Threats

I know you're not so ignorant
And you've been mislead by lies
Pathetic thoughts, so intimate that you pray
For your demise
I can tell you, I've seen it happen twice
Young souls with so much vision who refused
To see the light

The lines are drawn, the rules are set
No good cause, no chance left
And when there are lives lost
You'll live with those regrets
Because their weak minds were drawn to your false threats

The lines are drawn, the rules are set
No good cause, no chance left
And when there are lives lost
You'll live with those regrets
Because their weak minds were drawn to your false threats

Don't lose your faith
Don't throw it all away
Don't lose your faith
Don't run away from life

Why pride yourself on misery an say there's no hope left
You sell yourself and others short
You should not think so selfishly
Your life is not so bad
And after all, you have a choice

7. Pushin' Me

I'm tryin' to keep calm and you're pushin' me
I'm tryin' to keep my calm and see you're still pushin' me
I don't know why you keep pushin' me
I'm tryin' to keep my calm and see you're still pushin' me!

You've pushed your luck with me and I don't
Appreciate the fact that you're tryin' to intimate me
I've tried to keep my cool
But you've taken it from me

8. Walk Away

You've played yourself out
So just go on your way
You choose your fate now
If you decide to stay
It's not pity that saves you
'Cause you're given a chance
I've helped myself out
By taking this stance

So don't look back now
There's nothing to say
You should be grateful to walk away

9. Our Family

Los tiempos son duros, son deficil
No entiendo por que hubo tanto sacrificio
Tal vez es que no fuimos tan afortunados
Esos tiempos han pasado por que a cada cual nos amamos

Trabajando para vivir en tiempos malos
No aceptamos perder asi
Me dieron lo que no pudieron tener
Y no dejo que pase un dia sin darle gracias a el
Con dios estoy bien

Los tiempos duros se mejoran estamos muy bien
Pero el dinero nunca sobra
Sabres para mi ese dinero no me importa
Yo tengo mi familia lo mas importante en mi vida

Esto es para mi madre ella me enseño a querer
Y para mis ermanos que me ayudaron mantener
Esto es para mi padre
Me dio la fuerza para defender (lo mio)
Para toda mi gente y dios por el poder

10. Lesson Of Life

I'm lookin' forward to better times when I won't have to struggle to get by
Searchin' for some peace of mind, hard times got me crossin' the line
And every difficult day I learn I'm not alone in the struggle to get by

Everybody's got their own fight
It's just a fact of life

And I know things don't come easy
But I know that I'll get by
But I know that things don't come easy
But I'll survive

So I'm takin' it as comes
I know I've got to stay on my feet
I've got to roll with the punches because I see that it's up to me
And every day that that I fight temptation I know God is on my side
These are the lesson of life
And I will get by

And I know things don't come easy
But I know that I'll get by
I know things don't come easy
But I'll survive

And when I think back
It gives me strength inside
And I won't hold back
I take it all in stride
I will get by

11. All I Can Take

Wanna run for cover but there’s no where to escape
Runnin’ from your problems ain’t makin’ them go away
Gotta be strong even when you’re feeling afraid
It’s all in your mind the fears you have to face

I remember the times when I felt all alone and afraid
Regretting the times that I chose to turn and walk away

I’ve had all I can take
My self respect is now at stake

Forget about the past there’s nothing I can change
Try to look ahead tomorrow’s another day
Time to make a stand for the sake of my own shame
And now I’m gonna fight because I don’t see any other way
Remember the times when I felt all alone and afraid
Regretting the times that I chose to turn and walk away

I’ve had all I can take
My self respect is now at stake

I’ve had all I can take
Now I’m gonna show force
I’ve learned life the hard way
Time to even the score
Win or lose there’s no fear left in me
Got no choice but to fight
I’m through trying to decide who’s wrong and what’s right

12. Been There, Done That

Knew it all, I thought I knew it all
I knew nothing till it came to an end
The time has come to make move in my life
I’ve seen it happen all again and again
Looking back on all the things that I did
I have regrets, but that’s what it is
So that was then and this is now
I’ve seen it happen all again and again

I’ve been there and done that - look back
Looking at life and where I’m at
Where do I go from here - think clear
Is the question that we all fear

Knew it all, I thought I knew it all
I was blind until I opened my eyes
Fuckin’ up is how you learn in this life
Take that for granted and you’ll never survive

Looking back on those things that I did
I have regrets, but it is what it is
That was then and this is now
I’ve seen it happen all again and again

I’ve been there and done that - look back
Looking at life and where I’m at
Where do I go from here - think clear
Is the question that we all fear
Think clear and look back
Remember then and where you’re at
What don’t kill you will make you strong
There comes a time when you must move on

I’ve seen a lot in my young age
A lot has changed, memories remain the same
There’s different ways this game is played
Our violent ways have to end some day
