1. Back To The Primitive


Um, dois, treˆis, quatro...

Back to the primitive
Fuck all your politics
We got our life to live
The way we want to be

Back to the primitive
Fuck all your politics
"Who feels it, knows it"
And God will guide me

Back to the primitive
Fuck all your bullshit
Weīre back to set it free
Confronting the negative

Back to the primitive
Fuck all you wannabes
You donīt mean shit to me
Let it bleed...

Primitive

Primitivo



2. Pain


Speak up - you know what is up
Code of silence?! Who set you up?!
Some shit so wrong in this world
Itīs all fucked up now youīre gone
Speak up - you know what went on
How could you let it go?
Itīs murder you covered up
Stained blood on your soul

Down on my knees
Hands stretched to heaven above
Christ this pain is hard to live with
Donīt fill my heart with love
Engulf my heart with vengeance
You need to see our pain
Donīt fill this heart with love
The truth needs to be told

You canīt mask
Pain
My pain
Our Pain
You canīt mask
Pain
My pain
Our pain

"Fuck you...
Friday I was freaking out"



3. Bring It


Carved in hate, carved in hate
War is insane
Everywhere, everywhere
Blood and disgrace
Look around, look around
Apocalypse now!!
Terminate, terminate
With extreme hate

Bring it
Bring it
Bring it
Bring it

Who da cap fit, who da cap fit
You know what I mean
All your envy, all your envy
Iīll make you bleed
Why donīt you go away, why donīt you go away
And never come back no more
Cut throat, cut throat
Fuck off!!!

Why donīt you go away, why donīt you go away
Never come back no more
Cut throat scum
You donīt have a soul...

Fuck off



4. Jumpdafuckup


Jumpdafuckup!

Muthafucka u donīt understand
All my hate!
Muthafucka u donīt understand
All my rage!
Muthafucka u donīt understand
All my pain!
Muthafucka u donīt understand...

You seem to sever all my frequencies
Iīm tethered to your energies
And everything turns inside out
I canīt be killed but Iīm not too proud

Maybe you would like to peek through the curtain
At the same mistake you know you always make
But...all I really want to know is
Are you gonna lay the fuck back down
Or jump da fuck up?

Walking in da streets and looking at all this shit
Iīm full of hate, donīt fuck with me
Walking in da streets and looking at all this shit
Open up your eyes and fucking see
We got the tribe against society
We got to fight the real enemy
Get da fuck up, stand da fuck up
Back da fuck up

All this is making things a bit insane
And I donīt care who stares or stays
The only thing that matters is
Will you reach out if you canīt resist?

Maybe you donīt give a shit for the rest of us
But if you do, the time is now, if it ever was
If youīre gonna fight, whatcha gonna do?
Jump da fuck up!

How dare you single out my honesty
Compare me to your travesties
I only want to see you fight
The darkness you wanna live your life by

And if youīre gonna quit
I donīt give a shit
What the fuck, Iīm a Mack truck
Are you gonna give up like a bitch
Or jump da fuck up?

Walking in da streets and looking at all this shit
Iīm full of hate, donīt fuck with me
Walking in da streets and looking at all this shit
Open up your eyes and fucking see
We got the tribe against society
We got to fight the real enemy
Get da fuck up, stand da fuck up
Muthafuckaaaaaaaarrggghhhh

Iīm a self-destructive piece of shit
Smear me in
I donīt owe you a goddamn thing
This life has never had the swing
I donīt wanna be immortal or legend or anything
Cuz the longer Iīm alive, the better off youīll be
Get ready for epitome, come on and pity me...
Will you kill me if I say please?

Iīm the same old reasons not to try
What the hell
Beat to death with a shovel and a new smell
Come and get me, mom would never let me do it
Iīm ruined, I donīt want anything from you
Cuz Iīve got nothing left to prove, cīmon
My time, everything feels fine, goodbye
Killing from the inside



5. Mulumbo


Mulambo eu (Mulambo I)
Mulambo tu (Mulambo you)
Chegou Aqui (Just arrived here)

Mulambo eu (Mulambo I)
Mulambo tu (Mulambo you)
Chegou Ali (Just arrived over there)

Mulambo chegou pra detonar essa porra!!!
Mulambo chegou pra detonar essa porra!!!
Mulambo chegou pra detonar essa porra!!!
Mulambo chegou pra detonar essa porra!!!
(Mulambo itīs here to fuck this shit up!!!)

Third world and Iīm coming with the fire
Futebol and Iīm coming with the fire
E porrada and Iīm coming with the fire
(porrada: punch or brawl)
O Brasil and Iīm coming with the fire

Mulambo - Mulambo - Mulambo - Mulambo

Revolutionary como "Zapata"
(Zapata: Mexican revolutionary)
Revolutionary e "Che Guevara"
(Che Guevara: Third World revolutionary)
Revolutionary como "Zumbi"
(Zumbi: Brasilian slave hero)
Revolutionary to the "most high"



6. Son Song


Sometimes I donīt
want to face life
Sometimes I feel empty inside
But every moment is precious
And everyone will turn to dust

Dust myself up
and I scream at the sky
Itīs been so hard
but I canīt let it die
Turn my head up,
looking at the stars
So many years,
I still wonder where you are?
Dust myself up
and I scream at the sky
Itīs been so hard
and I ask myself why?
Turn my head up,
looking at the sun
Waited so long,
itīs time to move on, move on

Look at the sun,
look at the sky
Another day, another sign
And every moment is precious
And everything will turn to dust

Dust myself up
and I scream at the sky
Itīs been so hard
but I canīt let it die
Turn my head up,
looking at the stars
So many years,
I still wonder where you are?
Dust myself up
and I scream at the sky
Every day I ask myself why?
So much pain pouring
from inside
Above me I feel the spirit fly



7. Boom


Every time I think about how you act
You got no life, you got no respect
Yeah every time I think about how you act
You got nothing, nothing left...

Leeches and hypocrites
They even steal the air we breathe
Pretending and faking it
To be something they cannot be...

You come around when you know you need something
Stick around and try to get anything
But I know whoīs really down with me
Back tha fuck up you bumbklaatt enemy...

Boom
Watchugot?
Watchuwatchugot?
Watchugot?
Boom

Happiness is to give back
Love one another, have respect
Give more to receive less
Give life, soul and fire

Using people like they are tools
Treating them like theyīre just fools
Always quiet but I know what you do
God knows and you will too...

Fuck you, you fuckinī disgrace
And then you act like everythingīs the same
I donīt dig it, I donīt play mind games
Donīt fuck with me and my friends

Give more to receive more
Give life, soul and fire



8. Terrorist


Spreading terrorism through the music
Rebelling against all this bullshit
Fire is the heat that burns deep inside
Raging and out of control

Spreading terrorism through the music
Rebelling against all this shit
Energy in the purest form
Controlled chaos, bring it on...

Confront and destroy / Confront and destroy
Confront and destroy / Confront and destroy

Spreading terrorism through the music
Rebelling against all this bullshit
Urban guerillas on the front line
Arm in arms, bring it on...

Rise, rise, rise
Above this bullshit
Rise, rise, rise
Above this bullshit

"Night will come and I will follow
For my victims no tomorrow"
"Non-conformity in my inner self
Only I guide my inner self"

Bring da pain to tha muthafuckinī pit - Kill
Bring da rage to tha muthafuckinī pit - Kill
Bring da shit to tha muthafuckinī pit - Kill
Bring da pain to tha muthafuckinī pit - Kill...\



9. The Prophet


Time has arrived, we see all the signs
Revolution now is the time
Revelation soon to arise
Tribulation means itīs the time
Send out the soldiers,
their shield is their souls
Revolution coming unfold
Revelation coming untold
The prophet born to the world

Life, I know our life goes way out beyond
I leave you fire to carry on
Salvation coming to those
With the most high in their souls

Here comes the prophet
(time has arrived)
The prophet
(revolution/revelation)
Here comes the prophet
(time has arrived)

Rise above and beyond the sky
You know that we got to fight
The struggle to survive
Fuck you, this is my life

Um, dois, treˆis, quatro

The prophet - mais forte do que a morte (stronger than death)
The prophet - stronger than it all
The prophet (tribal)



10. Soulfly II





11. In Memory Of...



Yo, lifeīs web wants me in debt and tries to collect my breath as ransom in return for my soulīs silhouette. How deep does shit get? Is it worth the Bentleys and jets in this jungle of sheer cons and devils with breasts. I mean does everything happen for a reason, the change of seasons, even the slugs screaminī to stop you from breathinī. It seems weīre all a target in this mosh pit. The world be spinninī lopsided, thatīs why I have my logic.

We are what we are - musical contrast/sound clash/bomb blast
We are what we are - musical contrast/sound clash/bomb blast
So donīt tell me how to act - how to be - how to live
We are what we are - forever live or die
Donīt tell me how to act - how to be - how to live
I am what I am from beginning to the end

My conspiracy theory threatens national security, speaking clearly, you assholes donīt hear me. Walked the psychopath of Timothy Leary when cell therapy wasnīt curing me, God put fear in me, scaring me. RIP Kamau Jahi, quiet warrior with dignity, still with me spiritually, forever in memory. Cut throat - who ill as me? Soulfly. Flight attendants ainīt got shit on me. You reap what you sow, so I try my hardest to harvest good crops regardless if most artists are garbage - with godless content. To be honest, the chronic plus my fondness of alcoholic products held my spirit in bondage like convicts. Gettinī blunted wasnīt pungent, overabundance of dumb shit had me living low-budget. Conflict. Indo had my mental growth stunted, cut friends out my circumference I used to run with. Rose above it. Fuck thugginī and clubbinī, I got one in the oven, plus my girlīs talkinī husband - she bugginī. My method of flowinī expression through poem, salt of the Earth like the ocean - Godīs chosen spokesman. Creation to cremation, to be blatant - fuck Satan - paper chasinī motherfuckers facing damnation. Girls actinī fly with no interest in aviation - fuck station - radio waves is just radiation.

We are what we are - musical contrast/sound clash/bomb blast
We are what we are - musical contrast/sound clash/bomb blast
You donīt feel when I bleed, when I scream, when I feel
We are what we are - forever live or die
You donīt know how I feel, what is real, whatīs the deal
I am what I am from beginning to the end

Cutthroat Logic - the newest extension of the Soulfly Tribe from now until the day that I die. Canīt you tell by the pain in my eyes that with this music I will bring my dream to life. Stressed the F out, losinī my mind, I wanna blow up right now but I know it takes time. Like slanging saxs to takinī elbows across the state lines, from 22īs to tec 9īs swag to kind. Underground to worldwide, I will never die, forever my words in my rhymes they gonna keep me alive. So onward I strive each and every day of my life az I fight to keep K-RABīs dream alive. Forever my better half from fightinī to makinī cash. Some things in life are fucked up - wish I could take īem back. But I live life with no regrets so I just look back on life and laugh.

We are what we are - musical contrast/sound clash/bomb blast
We are what we are - musical contrast/sound clash/bomb blast
In memory of D-LOW I carry this pain
We are what we are - I know you understand
In memory of D-LOW I carved your name
I am what I am from beginning to the end

Got Catholics in confession and 5-percenters studying lessons while the youth smoke Buddha for blessing. I hear you fuckers on vinyl praising false idols - claiming Gods and dogs and other fraud titles - to rival. My recitalīs laced with the Bible, life is just a time trial - Iīm trying to make the finals. March madness in the land of savages - Iīm stranded, a magnet for static so I combat it diplomatic - nomadic - what Iīm tatted - my cross my only baggage - roots go back to Africa, Iīm not Asiatic. Brothas mastered mathematics and still they canīt add it. My quest isnīt cabbage although itīs nice to have it - rock the planet - like volcanic magma fragments - as my lava cools a lot of fools take me for granite. I just wanna meet the trinity and live for infinity - laugh at the enemy - when I get there who cares who remember me - on Earth. Since birth my dome had afro turf - ask the nurse - I heard a verse that said - "whoīs last is first" - so I keep my flesh humble īcause Iīm still-skinned like Rumple - average a triple double and keep my game subtle - jam harder - than Vince on all ballers from bench to starter since I slaughter holler - murda - on Shawn Carter - no honor with robbers - so I pray to my godfather and my conscience isnīt bothered by how I get my dollars.

We are what we are - musical contrast/sound clash/bomb blast
We are what we are - musical contrast/sound clash/bomb blast
We are what we are - musical contrast/sound clash/bomb blast
We are what we are - musical contrast/sound clash/bomb blast

Pressure building on my soul
I ask God to take control
Guide me through this fucked up world

Conquer this fear spiritually
Forever let it be
Into infinity

Against all odds we carry on
Like we always did before
Soulmate forever more

I feel your presence every day
Itīs so real in every way
Give God thanks and praise!

Just let my soul fly free
And let me be the one God wants me to be
Just let my soul fly free
And let me see everything Iīm
supposed to see

Just let my soul fly
Just let my soul fly
Just let my soul fly free!!!

Pressure building on my soul
I ask God to take control
Give me guidance in this world

Conquer this fear spiritually
Forever let it be
Into infinity
