Lyrics

Intro (Background):
(Ke,...Kee,...Keep,...Keep it underground.)
(Ke,...Kee,...Keep,...Keep it underground.)
(Ke,...Kee,...Keep,...Keep it underground.)
(Ke,...Kee,...Keep,...Keep it underground.)

Verse 1:
Protect or annihilate?
Suffer no repercussions.
Incoherent discussions bustin'.
Bustin' love with love where love is due.
Pass through the shadows of the wind representin' the lies within.
"In" with the truth.
Truth, in "it", dies.
Built in-between temptations of the spirit and the eyes.
Hypnotized.
Aborted in self.
Self-specialized.
Seeds fallen to the earth that never rise.
Say what?
Seeds fallen to the earth that never rise.

Chorus:
I can't fill another empty mind.
I can't be surrounded now.
I can't fill another empty mind.
I can't be surrounded now.

Verse 2:
Now, in the midst of all my troubles and the heat of the sun,
Through all these trials and trib.'s (tribulations) still I must move on.
From the days when I work when it's scorchin' hot.
And heavy weights upon my back, but still I cannot stop.

Chorus:
I can't fill another empty mind.
I can't be surrounded now.
I can't fill another empty mind.
I can't be surrounded now.

Bridge 1:
We cannot get knocked down, and if so, are we not so quick to rise?
In it lies the eyes of the truth to see.
Where your heart resides,...
...on battle fields where the battle cries,...
...your eyes have been hypnotized.
So as it remains the game is still the same.
It's our natural reaction to get up and regain...
...composure, as I compose these flows sort of the same way,...
...taken frame-by-frame.
Who will remain given the same...
...chance? (Overlay "Master's of chance" in next line)

Master's of chance.
Random faces...
...never caring about the truth, but there it is.
Beware!
The incorrigible lies.
In my eyes I see impatience, detached from life.
Selfish, greedy ground hogs pokin' their heads out to see what they wanna see.
Frozen still while shots ring.

Chorus:
I can't fill another empty mind.
I can't be surrounded now.
I can't fill another empty mind.
I can't be surrounded now.

I can't fill another empty mind.
I can't be surrounded now.
I can't fill another empty mind.
I can't be surrounded now

(continue "Chorus" under "Outro:")


Outro:
We cannot get knocked down, and if so, are we not so quick to rise?
In it lies the eyes of the truth to see.
Where your heart resides,...
...on battle fields where the battle cries,...
...your eyes have been hypnotized.
So as it remains the game is still the same.
It's our natural reaction to get up and regain...
...composure, as I compose these flows sort of the same (way),...
...taken frame-by-frame.
Who will remain given the same?
