Hey quit messing around What’s the matter can’t you see That I’m standing over her minding my own business Then you come over and start talking trash It makes me sick You think you’re smart, you’ve got no idea Who I am, Where I’m from, Where I’ve been, What I’ve done So say hello to my Middle Finger Machine Gun Hey what’s the point of all this? Understand that I’m a busy man, and I’ve got shit to do Don’t have time to sit around and listen to your words of non-wisdom You don’t like my style, my hair, my shoes I don’t recall, asking you So take a walk, take a hike, catch a bus, ride a bike Wait, I’m not done Middle Finger Machine Gun

Victorious 03:08
I walk along a path of anti-violence so tell me What do you want to start with me for? I made a promise to be peaceful until the end so tell me Why do you want to mess with me? I warned you that we’re dangerous And now we leave Victorious Tried to kick us down in the dust But instead we leave Victorious I show you kindness and you show me treachery, tell me What do you want to start with me for? Reply with silence and you take another swing, tell me Why do you want to mess with me? Warned you that we’re dangerous You cannot take control of us Always Victorious, you cannot get the best of us

With a blade to the night, and my back to the wind Got to cut through the lies and find out where the truth begins Because I know that I’m free, to be what I believe And I’ll fight for the right to practice Funkeology Everyone, everywhere Take a stand, show your hands Light your light, let it shine Brighter than the Midnight Sunshine Everyone, everywhere Take a stand, show your hands Light your light, let it shine Brighter than the Midnight Sunshine On the road up ahead, wolf cries at the moon But I can’t slow down so I walk along in the misty gloom Though the road may be dark, and the hills may be steep I will never turn back, never give up on the truth I seek Come together, Funk Nation Kill the lies and find the revelation

Back in the day, it was made known Let he without sin be the one to cast the first stone Now you can judge me based on what you see It may make you feel better but it don’t make you better than me The only way to achieve true wealth is through mental, physical and spiritual health The only true way to love oneself is through mental, physical and spiritual health Can’t spend our lives on a wheel of fortune While it’s spinning all we see Is a lonely dollar sign, hearts grow cold inside There’s something better I believe You can work hard, work you fingers to the bone But what good is the money when there’s no one there to spend it on? And you can push, be at the top of your game But what good is the top when the loneliness is driving you insane?

On a random Saturday afternoon Walking through and I Didn’t know I’d never be the same You were something new I’m a fool You just leave me burning You can’t take me higher I can’t stop from falling It’s because of you Behind his shades and his long hair I can see, what’s behind and I Have never felt more connected Where I can’t breathe, God help me

Funkeology 03:58
In a land of insanity Little hope for humanity Every war brings us no good If we listen maybe we could See that there’s just one way to save us Not a trend or new religion But an ancient tradition Has the power to make good If we listen maybe we could See that there’s just one way to save us Funkeology is what we need Funkeology eternally I’ve seen the future and it’s clear to me If we want to survive we’ve got to learn to study When every corner of every room Is filled with anger and bad perfume With vices plenty and dreams distraught We all lie broken from the lies we bought Our one salvation lies within Where evil is forbidden and truth always wins

One, one, one, one Run, run, run, run Run baby run, Karma’s got a gun And he’s searching after you Well I hope you had fun Run baby run, Karma’s got a gun And he’s searching after you, you Now your time is through Run baby run, Karma’s got a gun And he’s searching after you Now you’re finally through He never leaves home without wearing his mask He finds fresh meat who have no clue about his past He plays the part of all your wants and needs While inside his head he’s dealing with the demon that he feeds Run baby run, Karma’s got a gun And he’s searching after you Well I hope you had fun There’s always two sides when the story arrives You need to recognize you’re dealing with the Devil’s child Nobody knows who’s the man behind the mask But you’ll find him at the bar with his hand around his flask He’ll use you up, for everything you’ve got He’ll give you the gun, after he’s already shot Mama ought to know, who her daughter’s bringing home Do a search on his name, and don’t leave her alone Run baby run, Karma’s got a gun And he’s searching after you Yeah I hope you had fun Run baby run, Karma’s got a gun And he’s searching after you, you, you I hope you had fun Run baby run baby run baby run One, one, one, one Run baby run baby run baby run

No prototype made, no travel through space No inter-galaxy, no freedom from disease No living on the moon, or bottom of the sea No what could be, no if only We’ve got to make the best of what we have Who knows how long it’s gonna last We’ve got to make the best of what we have No one knows how long it’s gonna last The future is right now So don’t make no mistake Don’t you know the future is right now And there’s no time to waste We live in a tomorrow world We live here today There is no tomorrow world There’s only today Live in the now, how? Time to make a vow Be in the moment, own it, because it’s all we got Live in the now, how? Time to shout it loud Be in the moment, own it, because the time is now No innovation, to cure starvation It takes humanity, to feed a nation The answer is not in technology Not what could be, not if only If you perception needs correction, let me give you some direction Let go of the past, reflection, memories, complete perfection Don’t get lost in your projection of tomorrow’s lesson Standing in the intersection, know that it’s a blessing Live in the now, how? Time to make a vow Be in the moment, own it, cuz it’s all we got Live in the now, how? Time to shout it loud Be in the moment, own it, cuz the time is now Tell me everybody are you giving in? Because tomorrow’s the world we’re living in Tell me anybody are you listening? Because tomorrow’s the world we’re living in Tell me everybody are you giving in? Because tomorrow’s the world we’re living in Tell me everybody are you listening? Because tomorrow’s the world we’re living in

Silhouette 03:47
All around there’s lots of people But they stand so still their eyes I see right through Smile beside these walls I tremble As they’re digging down my back with rusted blades Cut around until there’s nothing left Bury the form of me, and trace my Silhouette Cut around until there’s nothing left Bury the form of me, and trace my Silhouette Even now through crowds of people I cringe inside with passing every face Whispering with eyes of evil And they’re crushing every moment I’m awake Look around at all the people Their mouths, their jaw, their eyes are clouds of gray Every town and every steeple And they’re calling, calling, calling from the grave

Undertow 03:41
Here I stand at the end of the world Head raised to the sky feet on the earth Waves approach while above clouds converge One by one faces races submerged Will it get any better once tonight passes? Will we get to be at peace and free from strife, after life? Can’t stop the Undertow Choices made we stand alone Destiny is here now it’s time to go Can’t stop the Undertow Left to right prayers and desperate cries Voices lifted to indifferent skies If not righteous salvation denied Your worst nightmare materialized Will it get any better once tonight passes by? Will we get to feel relief not sacrifice, after life?
