History 101 01:46
Who are you to talk down to me? I thought we made that history You're better than no one, when will you see Don't pull that shit on me. It's just a game you play and we're not playing We're changing it 'cause we're not havin' it. It's just a game you play and we're not playing We're changing it 'cause we're not havin' it.

You think everything comes easy, and things should be free That is the exact opposite of me If I don't break a sweat, than I am not pleased Every favor I do I expect returned to me. 110% everyday, anything less, nah no fucking way I'm pushing hard, but it takes time Always looking out for mine! You think everything comes easy, and things should be free That is the exact opposite of me If I don't break a sweat, than I am not pleased Every favor I do I expect returned to me

It seems like everyone is growing up, I'm the only one staying the same No one took this shit for real, fucking pussies changed I honestly hate the average man, his life is shit to me Walkin' in line with everyone else, somethin' not for me The one thing we have in common, we hate their fucking world Braindead zombies doin' what they're told 1, 2...
4.
I see the way you act, your attitudes no good Something's not right check under the hood Something broke, its' the way that you think A chain is just as strong as its weakest link I just hope that you shape up My radar's got you on it and its blowin' up Telling me something just ain't right With fools like you, how can we keep this tight? I wanna keep this close, want to unite! I wanna keep this flame burning bright You talk like you know, but you don't know shit! Take a look, this is as real as it gets! A bad name you give to everything we do Mental crew, sick of you! You try and be different, but its nothin' new Mental crew, sick of you! This doesn't mean a goddamn thing to you Mental crew, sick of you! Been told to get lost, told to get active Mental crew, sick of you!
5.
Chiller than most! Been our plan from day one Giving this our hearts and doing out best to get it done No regrets or apologies for anything we say Justify ourselves to you, no fucking way! People change and that's ok, That's just how life goes Either way we're still Mental, Still chiller than most When life is throwing shit at me and things seem insane My friends stick their necks out 'cause they know I'd do the same.
6.
Respect 02:00
They drop like flies but i think its all good As time goes by, I will knock on wood 'Cause I have more faith than you will ever know And I can respect whichever way that you go Some are here for good and some will break But I'll always respect the path you take You call it a label, there is nothing wrong with pride I'm trusting my heart to tell me what's right It's not about preaching to hear yourself talk It's about keeping your cool to shrug the pressure off!
7.
Real friends are hard to find Someone that will be there when you're losin your mind Fake friends and the smiles they wear They act like they do but they don't fucking care I don't know how You can shake my hand How can you be my brother? You're not even a man I don't think you know the fucking meaning of friend When I'm down you've three hands to lend There for the good, there for the bad The one thing that keeps me from goin mad Sometimes I just need somebody to talk to Someone that I trust, that's when you say "Yo! I got you!" Sometimes I wanna give up, cause life can get bogus That's why I got friends and you fucking know this I don't have to explain, you know the the fucking deal You're like a fucking brother, won't lie, cheat, or steal To those who go behind my back, and sneak around I'll turn that smile into a fuckin frown Why is it so hard to say how you feel My true brothers know how to be real

Mental 01:01
Play fucking hard, get to the point We're fucking Mental, lets move this joint! No bullshit, no fucking around We're fucking Mental, never slowdown! To all the shit talkers get a load of this We're fucking Mental, don't try and diss! If you think this is dumb we're just getting started We're fucking Mental, we might be retarded!

K.O.A.S. 00:51
Balance two lives I can't even do one It's all wasted time when its fucking done! I don't need the chains, I don't need the pains You can cut my strings, and all the trouble that it brings Say that you're happy, try and deny When things get fucked you say you'll get by Ease up man! I'm just trying to help You're living in hell, I trying to break you out!

Sike 01:26
What is this shit, you're fucking bumming me out I think you forgot what hardcore is about Actin' fucking hard, you're not better than me You forgot about straight edge and unity! You say this shit is about having fun You take it too seriously to get the job done You fucking change just like the weather Maybe someday you'll fucking change for the better What is this shit, you're fucking bumming me out I think you forgot what hardcore is about Actin' fucking hard, you're not better than me You forgot about straight edge and unity! You say this shit is about having fun You take it too seriously to get the job done You fucking change just like the weather Maybe someday you'll fucking change for the better SIKE!

Bounce Back 00:37
Knock me down, take me under But your cry will be as loud as thunder 'Cause I'll bounce back, land on my feet Try and try, you ain't got shit on me
12.
Rewind 01:28
Sometimes I get wrapped up in thinking way too long Have I made the right choice? How many times have I been wrong? Thats no way to think Thats no way to be If there is one thing I should believe in that one thing should be me I've fucked up so many times Boy I'd like to hit rewind You can say its not easy, you can say its not fair I'll never let it happen again I swear Twenty years of my life gone, and what I have learned? I can't get back the time I waste I cant get back the time I burn We learned from my mistakes, I've learned from my regrets Can't be down any longer, but I'll never forget I've fucked up so many times Boy I'd like to hit rewind You can say its not easy, you can say its not fair I'll never let it happen again I swear

DFJ's Diary 01:21
When I was younger, I knew I'd never “give in” No matter who fell, I'd be the fuckin exception An arrogant little prick who knew nothing at all My head up my ass, I thought I stood so tall I know that this is fucked, but my feelings are strong I've gotta fight for my will before it's completely gone I know that this is fucked, but my feelings are strong I've gotta fight for my will before it's completely gone But now I'm doubting all that I am Everything's changed but my beliefs stay the same I'm no longer inspired by the reasons why And I feel like I'm gonna die I know that this is fucked, but my feelings are strong I've gotta fight for my will before it's completely gone I know that this is fucked, but my feelings are strong I've gotta fight for my will before it's completely gone

Idiotic 01:20
I know that I'm trapped in such a shallow space I change and change and change, but I'm not going any place I know that I'm trapped in such a shallow space I change and change and change, but I'm not going any place I'm a fucking idiot (I'm a fucking idiot), 'cause I won't let go I'm a fucking idiot (I'm a fucking idiot), gotta break this strangle hold I'm a fucking idiot (I'm a fucking idiot), 'cause I won't let go I'm a fucking idiot (I'm a fucking idiot), gotta break this strangle hold Existing just for me, living just for you That just makes so much sense, maybe to a retarded few Existing just for me, living just for you That just makes so much sense, maybe to a retarded few I'm a fucking idiot (I'm a fucking idiot), 'cause I won't let go I'm a fucking idiot (I'm a fucking idiot), gotta break this strangle hold I'm a fucking idiot

Fuck This 01:15
I hit a fork in the road everyday No fucking idea which is the right way Sick of feelin' insecure Are my decisions worth living for? I doubt myself, I question myself Is this worth my time? Am I driving off a cliff? Or will I be fine? Where the hell is life takin' me? Well, I gotta enjoy the ride I gotta keep my head up or I'll go in with the tide Where the hell is life takin' me? Well, I gotta enjoy the ride I gotta keep my head up or I'll go in with the tide Get down!
