Another Way 01:13
Another away to survive Eats away at you inside, you know you’ve been here before That circular thinking won’t get you nowhere If you don’t make a change, your problems never will But you take that easy out, tried true route And every time it’s the same If you’re not sure if you can take this much more Maybe you will find another way Look at what you do, are those actions hurting you? The world will try to beat you down, it’s your life don’t assist em This is your life
2.
Unafraid 01:39
Life will challenge you once more It’s still easier then to ignore I can’t sit by while others are denied I can’t forget, I can’t close my eyes In times of doubt, through times of change Through tests of faith, I still remain Unafraid to believe Can’t pretend the obstacles aren’t there Have the courage to be honest and aware I won’t stop, I’ve got something to prove A heart full of love, strife cannot remove In times of doubt, through times of change Through tests of faith, I still remain Unafraid to believe For my scene, I still remain For my fellow man, I still remain When times are hard, I still remain My values stand, I still remain I won’t give in – no way We can change the world that we live in

Jazz Odyssey 01:30
Constant images filling you will self-doubt A billion dollar campaign to tell you you’re not enough With every step, with every day, with every breath I live it my own way Destroy your perception until you hack and slash your flesh In a web of lies you are enmeshed With every step, with every day, with every breath I live it my own way But you have so much power and their standards are meaningless Your goals are worth the struggle the possibilities limitless Fight for yourself worth Don’t let their tactics work
4.
Six men on one Beating down someone’s son Nowhere to run Doing things that can’t be undone Don’t talk to me about your rights What the world owes you or your fights You gave them up when you recite The unprovoked hate that you incite One life to live, we can learn to forgive Be supportive, be part of a collective Stand tall, your heart
5.
Watch your mouth who taught you how to act? Oh it doesn’t bother you? That’s beside the fact It’s about results not your intentions It’s a privilege to be unaffected Try to contain your words but you can’t control yourself If that’s your best your best is not enough Why do some guys use fear as a weapon? Puff out your chest when your manhood’s threatened Why do night skies mean so much less? Pursuit of wealth the need to impress So tell me one time something that’s true Something real, something you feel So that kind words do so much more Verbal abuse cuts you to the core
6.
See the facade dissolve When you see the interconnectivity of it all Everything that seems random, is controlled But another human soul The great fiction fueled by belief Unfocus and see the lies that’re underneath Institutions aren’t permanent fixtures Small screens add up to a bigger picture If you can’t see their system See and connect Then you can’t use it against em See and connect If you can’t raise the curtain See and connect How are you gonna hurt em? If you want to break those chains You gotta learn the rules to the game Want you to believe in their dominion My friend it’s an illusion See…connect!!!
7.
No Absolutes 01:15
Equal person with an equal mind Don’t act like they’re a different kind Just acting on human motivation Doesn’t change with your religion and orientation What you see as inferiority Is equality, another human being You’ve found the answers for yourself Doesn’t mean you know for somebody else We have to learn to strengthen our community To make a change for positivity Just because you found the answer for you, you think you know it all We gotta listen and trust one another to rise above Unity!
8.
Plus Signs 00:51
Spend your whole life in wait Stuck in place victim of fate Don’t wait for permission Rise up and overcome Don’t give up on yourself Fight for your mental health You got everything to lose Your life, your chance to choose I have choice of how I live You have a choice of how you live Positive
9.
Break the cycle! How much time can you give to what other people think? When this world is trying to drown you, you’re treading water, refuse to sink They try to label you to explain the things you do But what are those labels gonna do for you? They can make their plans and push you through To rise above it starts and ends with you I have everything I’ll ever need My will to achieve Every day that passes you must advance They thought kids like us never had a chance How can you live up to their expectations? When their educations is to push information They can make their plans and push you through To rise above it starts and ends with you I have everything I’ll ever need My will to achieve It’s time to break the cycle Messy, maladjusted like enter nexus Just a kid the stuff you did leaves you living like you got a death wish Make em sit still, put em on a pill ADD and manic depressive Escape the mold, they’ll stifle and lock you All they wanna do is put you in a box dude They wanna brand you, but do they understand you? Break the cycle cuz they do not command you And I know that their words will haunt you still Follow your dreams cuz no one else will
