Too Much Pride

Lazarus:

Too Much Pride (feat. Stretch Money)

Hands on Mouths

And it seems nowadays people have forgotten our past

Where we came from, how we used to gain their unquestioned trust

FUCK THAT! No one ever doubted your contributions

But stop acting like that should justify the arrogance

Problem is, that seems to be exactly what the problem is

Respect, but don't expect us to bow like the praying mantis

Expats influx rate at what should have been in thirty years

Challenging our labour and the culture right over here

Never has the top and bottom been so divided

So we about to stand up as one people united

And be counted because we are not the fucking servants

It's been a landslide win but you still about to be served up

And I'm not religious so what the hell am I praying for

Let's put an end to these political or resource wars

Never have I seen Uncle Sam so aggressive before

Never have I encountered mind games so subtle before

People don't believe they need chains to be slaves anymore

People say I need to stop these crazy thoughts before I fall

But the Gods have sent messages of judgement day

And there was nothing we could do to stop what he had to say

We don't put our hands over our mouths, no we don't

I still be sending messages of truths on my smartphone

..

I breathe it, I live it, I believe in it, that's true hip hop

The message and the passage, non-stop to the tip top

The King, The Prince, The Princess

A king tries to win over the hearts of his citizens

But, but these people won't listen to the bullshit of his vision

Can't envision the mission, we're destined for fission

When each claims to hold the key to eternal wisdom

It's an indication of negate effects in full motion

One swing is all it takes for these effects to go in tandem

From the minimum to maximum pessimism

Specks of skepticism in sequential periods, pendulums

But time plays down chronology in very slow motions

So I see the flaps of the wings in the very split second

As the world spins and passes by, everything is frozen

Time is the robber of the biggest dreams and passion

And the prince keeps his mental in check in training sessions

Gotta keep the wheels in the full cycle and please 'em

Tries to hide the anger but instead releases the rebellion

Rebellious inside the boy he has won his over with seduction

He succumbs to the tempting temptations in silent notion

But the God is in within in every situation

He pleads, but falls to the fiery depths in the death fashion

With no indication of the slightest remorse or repent

Been taught to hold up the pen against the immoral system

We all vie for oxygen amid the strangulation

But deprivation is too much to bear inside this box of regulation that's full of complaints and unaccounted compensation

The princess lies within her seven by seven square box

Inside this coffin but it's double and triple locked

Her feet are cold despite the double woven wool socks

Pays attention to the single ticks of the grandfather clocks

The castle is full of them but only one can unlock

The cursed spell that holds her down like a boulder rock

Awaits for the prince with the courage and wit to outfox

The master of these pieces and his three hot-headed bull dogs

As the sun sets and the leap year looms, she grieves a night of sobs

The flashback flashes and creeps in with the mental blocks

As the empty door swings like the promise of that final dot

Tying the knots at the loose ends.. like the perfect orthodox.

Smile :)

And it seems nowadays everyone wants to be king..

Don't forget who was the one who compromised with you, bitch.

And now there seems to be some sort of a rally ongoing.

What the hell is really going on? I know what's going on,.

It seems insane that detachment seems to recur so many times in this one life..

Why do I have to subject myself to this torment?

prince in practice moans for the attention that he wants

But most of this town won't even dignify his ignorance with a response

Left to a crowded foster home by a 15 year old mom

Never been held in anyone's arms when you've never been moved its really hard to move on

A young saleswoman sets up shop when the sun sets

She'll make your wildest dreams come true at a price you wont forget

The sadly married set up alibis no harm no regret

Hoping they meet an angel in bed that can wrestle the devil right out of their heads

This city runs fast, no one has time to sit with themselves

No time to look into our pain or see its the same as everyone else

It's here, it's there, it's everywhere tears soak each card the dealers dealt

But time taught me how to see every second as heaven even though they're perfectly disguised as hell

And I refuse to let past bruises cover the light

It ain't all good, but its all good enough, so i know im alright

Agony is truth its our connection to the living

I accept it as perfection and keep on existing

in the now..

I can only build if I tear the walls down

Even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown

I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground

I'll still smile

I can only build if I tear the walls down

Even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown

I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground

I'll still smile

...ear to ear as if that's all I'm here for

Despite the wars founded by the rich, funded by the poor

Kids barely 18 are dying so billionaires can make more

Elsewhere hungry mothers watch their babies starve to death in a beat up shack on a dirt floor

The aged professor quotes "Freedom's without a path"

Now he dresses like a widow and preaches "love is dead" in every class

But curiosity killed the cat and taught the dog in him how to act

And it burned his bridge to Jill so he tries to drown the guilt with a bottle of Jack

Self proclaimed rebels say "We must oppose the system!"

"You gotta take a stand!" "If you're not against them you're with them!"

Signs read "Support the troops bring em' home!" "No more innocent victims!"

But when a homeless veteran asks for spare change you're to busy protesting to even listen

And I'm no different I live in conflict and contradiction

But it can be so beautiful when I don't reject what lies within

It's beautiful the way agony connects us to the living

I think of the world when I hurt, and keep on existing

in the now..

I can only build if I tear the walls down

Even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown

I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground

I'll still smile

I can only build if I tear the walls down

Even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown

I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground

I'll still smile

Rest in Peace

open windows.

and.. who cares?

i'm just alone with no one to share.

you want this dollar? take it.

when can we ever get away.?

i wished things didn't happen. but maybe it was best it did.

and now i can't even lead a simple life.

i'm living in the shadows of yesterday.

love is tough, who's to decide when's the best time to take this next step?

i'm not in love, just warning you in case you fall into that same trap

if i wanted to do it i would have done it way back, but i didn't.

your window is open.

so is mine.

his.story.

is this how history played itself out?

history doesn't have to affect the way we deal with people today, but some people are just outright arrogant and annoying.

and history teaches. once again.

What time is it?

Wait, is this the right time?

Think about your future.

One too many

Too many people tryin' to play judge

Too many people tryin' to stay plugged

Too many people tryin' to juggle

Too many things in their struggle

Too many people innocently venal

Too many people accidentally viral

Too many people manipulating

Too many people needin' contemplating

Too many people playin' with history

Too many people blinded wit' his story

Too many people giving too many chances

Too many people giving too few chances

Too many people broke in their talents

But remain people rich in their balance

Too many people broke in their balance

But remain people rich in their talents

sorry.

Maybe next year.

I can't wait for then either.

But so many things on hand..

So many things.

dear protagonist

Dear protagonist,

Skeptical about who you hang out with.?

Maybe? Maybe!

Your sincerely.

Educate, people, educate.

Am I suggesting that these ministers and politicians are venal?

No I am not.

I don't believe in a corrupt-free society, but the amount of money we taxpayers pay to be manipulated is ridiculous.

It's even more outrageous when I hear coffee shop talk about how generous the establishment is, with the funds we collected recently.

First off, it's not a lot, when you consider how much we are paying in taxes.

Secondly, it's our own motherfucking money. We paid for our own shit.

How ignorant and oblivious can these people be?

Our people need to be educated.

The elections may have been over, but there's still a long way to go for change.

2011年5月8日，母親節

是親情，讓每一天的生活充溢著一份很平常但卻永恒的溫暖。

隨著嵗月逝去，我們常常將我們最珍貴，最完美的呵護 - 母愛，待為理所當然的。

但不管我們再怎麽錯，你瞧，每個媽媽的笑容中浮現著愛，那是無私的愛，是崇高的愛， 是偉大的母愛。

有人說，母親是心靈的港灣，而媽媽們的笑容，讓美麗完美無瑕.. 這句話我同意。

謝謝媽媽的愛，五月的康乃馨將為妳們而燦爛盛開。2011年5月8日，母親節快樂！

But this pen.

This is all I have. I have nothing else.
