A thousand lies

What is a man that stays true to the game
But has to cheat a little to get by
Well that is a person that I know to well
Don´t want to know, but I don´t have to ask why
Everyone like a loaded gun
You want some shit, I´ll fuckin´ pound you, son
Don´t need a reason, pain I´m feelin´
I gotta vent or else I blow inside
[Pre-chorus:]
Introspection, termination
Can´t tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It´s gone on far too long
[Chorus:]
You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times
Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails, the power to survive
What is a man that stays true to the game
But can´t believe some of the things he sees
Anger´s a gift and I won´t be kept down
In poverty there is no democracy
Used needle and a crack vile
A broken bottle and a bullet shell
This urban life is so volatile
An inner city or a concrete hell
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
What is a man don´t stay true to the game
Don´t care for no one, only cares for his greed
He´s playin´ God killin´ thousands of people
´Cause the power is the fix that he needs
Racist goal of the white devil
I watched our souls burnin´ over oil
A politician got no feelin´
It makes my motherfuckin´ cold blood boil
[Pre-chorus]
