1-True Nature

Here we go!
Power tripping your luck is switched
Oh, so now it's funny
When it's your turn to laugh
You go poke the running joke!
Scoring points with God
Get no perfect marks
But your grades keep falling
How you treat the weak is
Your true nature calling
Porn chick calls herself a therapist
Baby call it what it is
For all the money in the world
We'll go to war for backward heroes
Come to rescue you
Just to lien on you
With interests soaring
How you treat the weak is
Your true nature calling
Please believe
We live and breathe
Through native tongue and
Poetry
All those years we believed, yeah
Scoring points with God
Get no perfect marks
But your grades keep falling
How you treat the weak is
Your true nature calling

2-Strays

all this karma driving in
well you picked up a handful
i can't remember your name
i always seem to get lost
but i'm always finding trouble
oh, i'm always finding trouble
and the road it fades away
and the road is getting thinner
get by on my personality
my name, my name is baby
camera ready, smiling and then thrill
a real cool operator
oh so cool operator
and the road it fades away
and the road is getting thinner
and the road it fades away
and the road is getting thinner
ladies clink their glasses
pretend to ? me
sending out their incentives
into the night
?
no one listen to me back home
you're talking partners
i like jumping in bed
night is swelling off we go
shoulder to shoulder
man you're pretty deep
and the road it fades away
and the road is getting thinner
and the road it fades away
and the road is getting thinner
where is luck girl?
i'm just a pick-up stray
i'm just a pick-up stray
i'm just a pick-up stray

5-The Riches

i love standing by the water
and just knowing what it's for
it's alright to swim and sip it
let me have a little more
like my woman, like my shower
get them hot until their steamin'
love to find a little spot, nice and shady
that's for dreeamin'
of the riches
oh, tell me where are you hidden
cause ready or not babe i'm coming to you
into the life
into the life
into the life of riches
streaching out in the sun
like a cat in the window
hills are changing colors
as i'm watching shadows throw
i'm laughing at ?
cause my stomach in the stiches
early bird on the perch looking down
can see all the world's riches
oh, tell me where are you hidden
cause ready or not babe i'm coming to you
into the life
into the life
into the life of riches
never looking over my shoulder again
i wanna bide my time and bury on my faith
if you tell me no, then i really must insist
when the hunt is over, kiss me on my lips
so lets talk about our plan
you can count it's gonna work
carry on, feel immortal
at the risk of gettin' hurt
i praying that it rains
so some day we'll be so wet
living through a little pain
no complaining
as we're training
for the riches
oh, tell me where are you hidden
oh, all of a sudden
there you are

7-Wrong Girl

You messed with the wrong girl
She but small but she's fierce
She shattered the glass out
With the highs of a heel
You led with the wrong line
When you called her c*** and all
So what make's a guy think
That it hurts a girl?
It don't hurt a girl
She loves her dangerous play
Kicks and screams as she dances
Keeps a pretty face
You messed with the wrong girl
She has her ways and means
Laughs at the traffic
From the easy streets
Enters in cages
With no bites when she leaves
If guys are too rough now
Then that's what you think!
It don't hurt a girl
She loves her dangerous play
Kicks and screams as she dances
Keeps a pretty face
She's like a mother eagle
Come'n down
She's like a mother eagle
Come'n down
Oh now she's cutting every corner
She's tearin' up the grass
'cause cars ain't for parkin' man
A car's what you pass
It don't stop a girl
She loves her dangerous play
Kicks and screams as she dances
Keeps a pretty face
Oh, I love her pretty face!
I love her pretty face!
What a pretty face!

8-Everybody's Friend

9-Suffer Some

She's so lucky that she had to suffer some
Left her happy home began to drink and slum
She's got problems?
C'mon name me one?
She makes problems
Like makin' new friends
She had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
She gets in free down at the scream
Oh yeah
All night running through her living room
All her sucked up her friends and daughter too
You poor mother! You cashed your little one in
For a three bag fill up and a new syringe
She had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
Was in the pink now she's in the blue
Oh yeah
And you know
She's seen better days
Did you hear?
How far she's gone?
Far away
Far away
She's gone far away
May be the last song you'll be sung
Ain't no sweet left in that emotion
She's got problems
And more problems to come
'cause it's worse than murder
That's what you done
Now you go suffer!
Yeah she had to suffer some
Be like every one
Had to suffer some
Was in the pink baby's feeling blue?
Yeah she had to suffer some
Be like every one
Had to suffer some
She gets in free
Always was a freak
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

10-Hypersonic

Yeah, I got a ticket to ride for two
I'm going up to the wild blue
I keep the surface ultra cooled
And all my fuel can be renewed
While we wait around with delay
The sudden news is just fast-talking
Your skin is oily, your story's old
So tell it while your walking
We're flying
Hypersonic
Flying
With my hyper tonic
Yeah, I all uproot you terrorist
I am the guide to the perplexed
Man take this tip, I'm gonna win
I'll put it all on hydrogen
'cause our lives have gotten tied
To people we should untangle
It's all at a fatal cost
To keep us over barrels
We are flying
Hypersonic
Flying
With my hyper tonic
We got time we're doing fine
With mach 8 acceleration
The sky is clear don't interfere with
With aspirations of this nation
Ah, shoot new cities into space
Drag you at the new space races!
Fast as a line can flow
And look around
We leave no traces
We are flying
Hypersonic
Flying
With my hyper tonic
Ahoo, yeah
Flying
Hypersonic
We're flying
With my hyper tonic

11-To Match The Sun

yeah, count down starting now
coming to a sweet end
ain't my ? strong
i'm going fast and furious
curious ?
cure us before we blow
our arms out
let set our hearts
to match the sun
when it goes by
for keeping sake
a sign for our time
so we both know, oh
? up
don't know where i'll end up
do what i can to get home
right there baby
there between the twilight
finish the day into night
we'll meet up again
lets set our hearts
to match the sun
when it goes by
for keeping sake
a sign for all time
so we both know, oh

use it to us express us
? at the same time
and then you claim me as your prince and my princess
stretch out our mind
it grows longer
knowing the sun set our time
and knowing your heart beats close to mine
from where we are

all across the colored sky
just a time to match the sun
just a time to match the sun
