2. Hollywood
All American boy with big dreams of glamour life
Bright lights and boogie nights
The hype is "Everything could be yours if the price is right"
Grab your nothing and hold it tight
The first chance you get your heading out to the West
This decision is one you wonīt regret
Move to the place where everybody knows ya
Like Hollywood, Los Angeles, California
So you wanna be a Superstar
Welcome to Hollywood
Quick money, fly women, fast cars
Welcome to Hollywood
So you wanna be a Superstar
Welcome to Hollywood
High times, big dreams, living large
Welcome to Hollywood
One way ticket, then youīll live this
Life of a Superstar caught up in this business
God as my witness, you will never change
Only been here a day, already in the game
You changed your name; you donīt eve look the same
Now youīre on top of the world
Money, Power, and Fame
Picture perfect, just like you planned
No longer him, īcause you the man
Youīll never get the best of me
The time ticks away, youīve had your play
Sold your soul for the roll, now you gots to pay
Forfeit integrity, overnight celebrity
Settle for selfish gain rather than dignity
Another sucka, why did you trust a playa like me fool,
Eternal hustler
Iīm taking everything and now you know
I hate to tell you but, I told you so
3. Southtown
Welcome to hard times, back again like its never been
For the first time it seem to mess with my head
When I realize what it takes, can I relate
With whatever, but never will it drive me to hate
Could be the next guy that you take before I wake
Now I lay me down to sleep, eyes tight when I pray
This her is real life, circumstances make you think
Should I be counting my blessings, the next second my eyes blink
Here in the Southtown you know that kid donīt play
Put it down it the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive
One love itīs easier said than done
Can I rise above anything that gets in my way?
Like words you say, you let your tongue get loose
And when push comes to shove, Iīm not used to walking away
I keep on looking up, because these times are getting tough
Tomorrowīs gone and itīs the same oī song
Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up
A life to shine, youīre the diamond in this rough
It ainīt got to be like this
Donīt wanna throw up my fist, Donīt wanna be like this
Donīt wanna throw up my fist, I must resist
4. Checkinī Levels
Hey Bobby, dude, should I, uh, should I tightenī up my snare or somethinī?
No, no, no, no, nah, the drums is cool.
Aight.
No, they fine, they fine. You need more guitar in your headphones?
Yup.
Well I need yīall to rock something so I can get those headphones together for me one time, alright?
Aww, yeah, cool man.
Yeah, just one more time, just like that.
Yo, Sonny. Thatīs right. Yeah. You gotta give me a little bit, to get the level together. Yeah.
Oh yeah, thatīs tight, thatīs tight.
Yo, you need more effect?
Word, let-em check these levels.
Okay, it should be cool now.
Turn it up. Um, check it out, check it out, here we go. Wit this.
Okay, go ahead bust it.
Freestyle fantastic,
Flippinī like acrobatics,
Microphone mathematics,
Add it, then subtract it,
And then you have it,
Problematic,
With the fanatic,
attic,
And everyone with you figures you couldnīt grab it,
Tragic,
Steppinī on my style just like a bandit,
But me and this here mic stick tight, just like a magnet,
Stagnant,
Supersonic,
Just how we does,
Just because we slamminī like onyx feel the rush,
Dust to dust,
Beat to beat, were addicting lust,
Everything we bust, Itīs a must, in God we trust,
So slam, da da da
5. Rock the Party
We came here to rock this jam
Spread His love is the master plan
Let this light ignite like a star
Everybody in the party knows who we are
You gotta get down, dance around, floss you style
P.O.D., guarantee, make it worth your while
Bad vibes, leave īem at the door
Soulcheckīn, housewreckīn, keep īem begg īn for more
.
We came to rock the party all night long
So party people wonīt ya sing that song
We came to rock the party all night long
And keep it live till the break of dawn
He DJ wonīt ya play that song
And weīll keep dancing till the break of dawn
Keep it live like the way it should
Ainīt nobody gettīn crazy so you know its all good
B-Boyz, Fly Girls one time
A friend of yours is a friend of mine
Donīt bother stopping till this jam is though
If you been here before then you know how we do
We gotz to play what we feel
Then I can say I came real
Donīt wanna be caught messīn around
Cuz a party ainīt a party when it gets shut down
Off the hook, with the cutz, thatīs right
Feelīn loose cuz it sounds so tight
Rock da spot till the very end
Make sure that youīre there when we do it again
6. Lie Down
I lie down, I sleep, when I wake, sustain me
Outkast blast through deception, the tension, your mind collapse
Relapse, the stress of matter, when I shatter like glass
The never seen, the never heard style we bring forth Canīt ignore,
the Four, rippīn straight when I take your Title, self, X it out like homicidal
itīs vital, to make my flesh be suicidal
We tribal, sing with the Saints, let our spirits fly
Hold down the string with the poser Jah has given I
Break back the chains, release the squeeze off my veins
Empty box, hollow rocks, I knock you out your frame
Shallow grave marks the date, Ohī Babylon the Great
Evil virus, be like Cyrus, trample down your gates
Weīre the ones, the chosen sons
Come out of dark into light, rather fight than run
We came to die for the reasons you put us down
Donīt know when, could have then, whatīs the time, the time is now
I lie down, I sleep, when I wake, sustain me
Ready, attack, boutī to break you down fast like collision
Religion, take you from vision to flashback
In an instant, calculate precise precision
Itīs vivid, turn your intimidation to timid
Iīm in it, count down to self-destruction
Thatīs word to my mother when you suffer the repercussions
Clear the path, itīs the wrath coming through
You ainīt got what it takes to make me break
Because Iīm harder than you
Iīm harder than you
You ainīīt got what it takes
7. Set Your Eyes to Zion
ack in the day when man he paved the way
Fell in temptation, sin spread through the nation
Lead me salvation, and pierce the palms of holy hands
Who is the son of man? take me to the promised land
Where I and I free, Jah set my mind at ease
I stay cool in the shade even at 96š?
You must believe and plant this seed of wisdom
Stick to the track and donīt be trapped by Babylon
Set your eyes to Zion
Jah Jah people ride on
Forgive them Lord, for they not know
That what they do, people blame it on you
Canīt understand why dem so mad
Dem heart get cold, empty with no soul
Iīve begun to search of One
Giver of life, I and I recognize
To be with you, forever Iīll be with you
In paradise, Zion I set my eyes
Tell me Mr. Deadman?
Do you have the answer?
How do you get to Heaven?
Do you have the answer?
Hey Mr. Deadman
Iīll tell you if you want to know,
How you can get to Heaven?
Believe in I Jah Jah son
8. Lo Siento
- no Lyrics
9. Bullet the Blue Sky
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
You plant a demon seed
You raise a flower of fire
You see them burning crosses
You see the flames higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
This guy comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And heīs peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down
One hundred, two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
You take the staircase to the first floor
Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into a saxophone
And through the walls you hear the city groan
Outside is America
Across the field you see the sky ripped open
See the rain through a gaping wound
Pounding on the women and children
Who run
Into the arms
Of America

eathe
This is the knowledge that I bring,
Universal worldwide culture
Inhale, exhale
I takes it all in
No second guessing
Truth brings forth a new passion
No second guessing
Push aside this fate for the ransom
Stands among, gold seven and loxīd up
White wool; fire eyes, glowing in red
Water of rush, planet hold, in double edge
Falling down dead, last first, itīs one life
Life source, in resurrection, these bloodstains
Shining face, this morning stars reflections
Embracing light, the clearness of sunrise
Tower strong, in this refuge, my fortress
Breathe
This is the knowledge that I bring,
Universal worldwide culture
Inhale, exhale
I takes it all in
No second guessing
Truth brings froth a new passion
No second guessing
Push aside this fate for the ransom

13. Tribal
Where do you stand in this Battle Cry?
Represent!
I and I a Jah Jah warrior
The reconstruction commences; the soldiers equip for the lessons
My life, a sacrifice is made new through these confessions
Manifested, this joy is my desire
Light this fire to flames; praise the name, Jehovah Jireh
Is my provider, the truth that lives inside of this fighter?
Take me higher, Master, Sire makes me a good rider
Iīm gonna ride on down til I break through the front lines
And ainīt going home until I gets mines
I grab ahold of my second chance, this time gonna make it last
Left the world came back an Outkast
To lay among the remains, through the trials and the pains
Run for cover, make shelter, uncharted terrains
Bloodstains light the paths to the ways of living breath
My soul is put to the test
Blessed with a mic in my hand, Jah make straight my steps
Then I hooked up with Payable On Death
We flow in Unity, stand in One while the foolish be
Lost in this hour, with Power we have Authority
To overcome while these cowards just pick up and run
We ainīt done till this battle has been fought and won
The victory, how sweet it be, is already ours
Holding the stars, is the man that carries my scars
Always the same, I wear his name with now shame
Here in this Battle Cry, we will never die
We will never die Tribal Warriors
14. Freestyle
Kids coming up from the alleys not like the valleys
Southtown San Diego rats out here in Cali
So Cal with the crew to showīem how
You like me now, with the sound straight underground
Puttīn it down, lift up this jewel that I have found
And pass it around, flowing against the crowd
Hip-hop hardknox rhymīn soon as the tune drops
Negative small talks, homie star kickīn rocks
and thake it all down the blocks where it belongs
A demo of songs but they wouldnīt put me on
Thought I was gone, too late, but whoīs to say
My pockets are empty and I got dues to pay
To the tic tock you donīt stop
To the tic tock you donīt quit, hit it
Freestyle, freak with the flava itīs the sure shot
Floss up the Ave, when the spot gets hot
Still payīn dues and knockīem out the box
Thatīs how it is homie like it or not
Itīs bad enough late bills keep stacking up
No one ever told me that it would cost this much
So buckle up and come along for the ride
Catching the vibes and staying true to my tribe
I got mad love for the ones that still around
Knew youīd be down from the get-go here and now
You make me proud from the diapers to the grave
No masqurade, stayed the same like in the day
On day when we all get saved
Weīre gonna change the world no matter what they say
And stay real playing what we feel
Iīll keep praying for you while you shoot to thrill
Itīs been a long time
Itīs been a long time comīn
Hated by many and loved by less
Hold the thresh, resurrected here in the West
Clinch the fist; dismiss the stereotype myths
Loose lips sing ships, then plead the fifth
You hated this, no reason you hated this
If you only know youīd be the first one to enlist
We come in love cause its just how we does
Fit the frame staying the same as it ever was
15. Follow Me
eign, Most High
Almighty Reign, Most High
Almighty I, Most High
What good is for a man to gain the whole world
Yet lose of forfeit his very self?
He must deny himself and
Take up his cross daily and follow me
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words,
Then I will be ashamed of him
When the time comes, in his glory, we will rise
I tell you the truth, some of you who are standing here
Will not taste death before they see jah
Creation come with his power
What can a man give in exchange for his own
Soul he cannot save?
When the time comes, in his Glory, we will rise
When the time comes, in his Glory, we will rise
16. Outkast
Iīm an outkast
But donīt count me out
Underground dwellaz, roaming beneath the cellars
Failed us with this system, ainīt living how they tell us
Hideaway place, itīs safe, they raise a nation of hate
Erase a main for his faith
They feed us lies, dress up my King in false disguise
Behind those eyes, soul of a savior I recognize
No compromise, while the whole world becomes corrupt
Tonight we break the surface for lives, We coming up
Brother take my hand
Lets separate ourselves
Leave behind this place
Donīt ever look back
Disgraced man, survivors of the wasteland,
Looking for a home of his own
No place to run, now place to hide
Itīs time for you to stand on your own
Militia, coalition, not of this world
Resistance, we the alliance
We freedom fighters, its honor we defend
We follow truth and never your trends
Brother take my hand
Lets separate ourselves
Leave behind this place
Donīt ever look back
Brace yourself like a man
