Silent Rage

An ordinary man sits alone, his head in his hands
Waiting for justice from his racial reprimand
Black and white fight like cats and dogs
Spinning in circles we can't seem to beat the fog.

We're thrown together to deal with the hate
But we drift apart and seal our only fate
Alliance should rush and pulse in our veins
Remove the mask and only madness remains.

(pre-chorus)

What does it take to get along?
Can't you see prejudice is wrong?
When do we start to work together?
And make it through this stormy weather.

(chorus)

When hatred feeds the fire
Man becomes a lair
When people notice skin color
Silent rage recovers.

People are the same with the same feelings
Our own future a game, risk we're dealing
No one can see our world crumbling around us
Our last words ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Streets are corrupt with violence and drugs
Warming to the enemy our graves are dug
Now in our fighting existence pain only remains
How did our lives get so insane?

(pre-chorus)

What does it take to see eye to eye?
Now all that remains are lies
How many young lives do we sacrifice?
What disaster do we entice?

(chorus)

(bridge)

Silent rage
Into the cage
Men are created equal
Harkening the call
Silent rage
Trapped in a maze
See your fellow man
Lend him a hand.

(pre-chorus)-2nd

Reap What You Sew

Reap What You Sew

The rights of men
Become shattered
Innocent and guilty
Do we really know?

Despise and corruption
Judges and juries
A five time murderer
Reap what you sew.

Brutal slayings
Pleading unforgiven insanity
Does the man fear?
Reap what you sew.

A man found guilty
The evidence complete
Serves time for the crime
Do we really know?

No appeals
No forgiveness
Approval sealed
Serpent's kiss.

Innocent victims
Unknowingly seduced
A man sentenced
Reap what you sew.

A man's death
Could prove right
Retribution
Do we really know?

Sentenced to death
A healthy verdict
In the lonely chamber
Do we really know?

Safe house streets
One more dead
No worries
Reap what you sew.

In an instant
It's over
Hell bent
Death's sure.

Justice

Justice
Copyright - 2/3/96

They walk the beat and keep the peace
They right wrongs and put crime away
When life deals its unpleasantness
Criminals go indefinitely free.

Men and women here to help
Arresting circumstances nonchalant
Spit on and misunderstood
Putting away all those hoods.

When the justice system sets them free
Criminals roam the streets
Judges and lawyers on the take
No justice, criminals on the make.

Served with a warrant daily
Police are just doing their job
Lock up and central crime retrieves
Criminals rule and no one believes.

Cops try to preserve our peace
Look at all the things they put up with
Shot, Stabbed, the chase is on
Time to put away all the cons.

Name calling they have allowed
Letting it roll off their backs
Resisting arrest cons try to get away
"Halt, police," they may say.

For every criminal they put up
One gets out on technicality
No one is perfect even the highest judge
Criminals get caught and hold a grudge.

Murder, rape, assault and the like
Cops take them off the street
We can help and get involved
Or else none of us will live to evolve.

Judicial Trespass

Judicial Trespass

Does the innocent and trail?
Could he be in denial?
Rising, the gorge of bile.

Does the man really believe?
That there is no retrieve
Can he willingly leave?

Is he insane or just smart?
Can he live? Does he have heart?
Death would be a good start.

Is the man guilty of murder?
Did he? He know no further
Beating the odds, it's absurd.

Did he run because of guilt?
Adhering to him like silt
Death reigns the house he built.

Does he go away scot-free?
Can't the judge and jury see?
Freedom for race is key.

Does he plead not guilty?
Is it the way it should be?
Why is he now very free?

He knows more than is settled
With the public mind he has mettled
Our own coffin has he nailed?

Does he protect someone close?
Someone loves and admire most
Someone who may come and boast.

Trail was over before it began
Herds of lawyers doing what they can
Should of been convicted, he ran.

Does hatred, anger and prejudice rule us?
Or is it doing what it can and must?
Life and death reasoning or bust.

Can move on past skin color?
White, black, rich, poor rapes the door
Can we survive? Can't take anymore.

Was the man let go because of stardom?
Or was it fate that granted a pardon?
Or was he just second to none?

Did the jury make the right decision?
Or did they release a killer, what may come?
Judicial trespass guilt's through and done.

Judicial trespass overlooking
Innocence bares looking
Judicial trespass forgetting
Judicial trespass unbelieving
