    KEYS TO THE KINGDOM:

    No control / no surprise
    Tossed the keys to the kingdom
    Down that hole in my eye
    I’m my own / casualty
    I fuck up everything I see
    Fighting in futility

    We start the final war
    Tell me what’s worth fighting for
    When we know there’s nothing more
    We take the hand or fist
    Just to sell ourselves for this
    The path we least resist

    No control / no surprise
    Tossed the keys to the kingdom
    Down that hole in my eye
    I’m my own / casualty
    I fuck up everything I see
    Fighting in futility

    I give you what you came for / this is not the same though
    Got a different method but I still can bring the pain so
    Y’all stuck in that same flow / I got that insane flow
    High as y’all can get you’re never really in my range though
    Yes I’m half anglo / half fried panko
    All prime-time rhymer / let the bass bang low
    All you fucking lames go / aiming at my name, know
    Careful what you shoot because you might hit what you aim for

    No control / no surprise
    Tossed the keys to the kingdom
    Down that hole in my eye
    I’m my own / casualty
    I’m my own
    Casualty


    ALL FOR NOTHING (FEAT. PAGE HAMILTON):

    So what ’cha waiting for
    Anticipating more
    While you debate what it could take to instigate a war
    Yeah I been hated more than time I wasn’t hated for
    There’s nothing they can fucking say they didn’t say before
    But you could never see it
    Your battle’s not mine
    Wanna skate and play it safe but this is take a shot time
    While you’re waiting for a purpose I already got mine
    While you tell me step to it like 1, 2, 3, 4

    And if I do what you demand
    (You say) You’ll let me understand
    (You say) You’re gonna hold me to your word
    And if I sell myself away
    (You say) I’ll have no debt to pay
    (You say) I’m gonna get what I deserve

    YOUR WORD / OBEYED
    MY DEBT / REPAID
    OUR TRUST / BETRAYED
    ALL FOR NOTHING
    ALL FOR NOTHING

    Kick back there’s no other way to say it
    So let me break this fucker down for ya
    I really don’t know ya
    You talk but let me show ya where to put your paranoia
    You’re joking, I don’t have a half a sucker bone to throw ya
    I’m disgusted, wonder what could’ve made ya tuck your tail below ya
    And no I’m not your soldier I’m not taking any orders
    I’m a five star general, infantry controller
    Need a lesson? Let me show ya
    Have you checking your composure
    While I make you step to it like 1, 2, 3, 4


    GUILTY ALL THE SAME:

    Tell us all again
    What you think we should be
    What the answers are
    What it is we can’t see
    Tell us all again
    How to do what you say
    How to fall in line
    How there’s no other way
    But oh, we all know

    You’re guilty all the same
    Too sick to be ashamed
    You want to point your finger
    But there’s no one else to blame

    Show us all again
    That our hands are unclean
    That we’re unprepared
    That you have what we need
    Show us all again
    ’Cause we cannot be saved
    ’Cause the end is near
    Now there’s no other way
    And oh, you will know

    [Rakim]
    Yeah, you already know what it is
    Can y’all explain what kind of land is this
    When a man has plans of being rich
    But the bosses’ plans is wealthy?
    Dirty money scheme, a clean split is nonsense
    It’s insane
    Even corporate hands is filthy
    They talk team and take the paper route
    All they think about is bank accounts, assets and realty
    At anybody’s expense
    No shame with a clear conscience
    No regrets and guilt free
    They claim that ain’t the way that they built me
    The smoke screen before the flame
    Knowing as soon as the dough or the deal peak
    They say it’s time for things to change
    Rearrange like good product rebuilt cheap
    Anything if it’s more to gain
    Drained, manipulated like artists, it’s real deep
    Until no more remains
    But I’m still me
    Like authentic hip-hop and rock
    ’Til pop and radio and record companies killed me
    Try to force me to stray and obey
    And got the gall to say how real can real be
    You feel me, we’ll see that green could be to blame
    Or greedy for the fame
    TV or a name
    The media, the game
    To me you’re all the same
    You’re guilty


    THE SUMMONING:

    Instrumental


    WAR:

    There’s no peace / only war
    Victory decides who’s wrong or right
    It will not cease / only grow
    You better be prepared to fight
    And it will not apologize
    For laying down your life

    War

    There’s no pain / it will spare
    Fear has become your only right
    And once you’re lost / in your despair
    Forever black eternal night
    And it will not apologize
    For laying down your life

    War
    Destroyer
    War
    Destroyer

    It needs no side to justify
    Laying down your life

    War
    Destroyer
    War


    WASTELANDS:

    This is war with no weapons
    Marching with no stepping
    Murder with no killing
    Illin’ every direction
    First / no sequel
    Do the math / no equal
    John with no Yoko:
    More power less people
    And no I’m not afraid of that
    Print it in your paperback
    Every rap is made in fact to act as a delayed attack
    Every phrase a razor blade that’s saved until they play it back
    To slay and leave ’em laying on the pavement
    Bang
    Fade to black

    In the wastelands of today
    Where there’s nothing left to lose
    And there’s nothing more to take
    But you force yourself to choose
    In the wastelands of today
    Where tomorrow disappears
    While the future slips away
    And your hope turns into fear
    In the wastelands of today

    Roll credits you get it the show’s done
    They’re talking for just talking but meaning, they got none
    None of ’em come proper they talk like a shotgun but
    How many got bred with integrity / not one / so no
    I’m not afraid to see you suckers hold a blade to me
    Ain’t a way to shake the ground I built before you came to be
    Take it how you take it / I’m the opposite of vacancy
    And this is not negotiation ya’ll can hate and wait and see


    UNTIL IT’S GONE:

    A fire needs a space to burn
    A breath to build a glow
    I’ve heard it said a thousand times
    But now I know

    That you don’t know what you’ve got
    Oh you don’t know what you’ve got
    No you don’t know what you’ve got
    Until it’s gone

    I thought I kept you safe and sound
    I thought I made you strong
    But something made me realize
    That I was wrong

    ’Cause finding what you got sometimes
    Is finding it alone
    And I can finally see your light
    When I let go

    ’Cause you don’t know what you’ve got
    Until it’s gone
    ’Til it’s gone…

    ’Cause you don’t know what you’ve got
    Oh you don’t know what you’ve got
    No you don’t know what you’ve got
    It’s your battle to be fought
    No you don’t know what you’ve got
    ’Til it’s gone


    REBELLION (FEAT. DARON MALAKIAN):

    I’ve seen the blood
    I’ve seen the broken
    The lost and the sights unseen
    I want a flood
    I want an ocean
    To wash my confusion clean

    I can’t resolve this empty story
    I can’t repair the damage done

    We are the fortunate ones
    Who’ve never faced oppression’s gun
    We are the fortunate ones
    Imitations of rebellion

    We act it out
    We wear the colors
    Confined by the things we own
    We’re not without
    We’re like each other
    Pretending we’re here alone

    And far away, they burn their buildings
    Right in the face of the damage done

    We are the fortunate ones
    Who’ve never faced oppression’s gun
    We are the fortunate ones
    Imitations of rebellion

    REBELLION, REBELLION
    WE LOST BEFORE THE START
    REBELLION, REBELLION
    ONE BY ONE WE FALL APART

    We are the fortunate ones
    Who’ve never faced oppression’s gun
    We are the fortunate ones
    Imitations of imitations of…
    We are the fortunate ones
    Who’ve never faced oppression’s gun
    We are the fortunate ones
    Imitations of rebellion


    MARK THE GRAVES:

    There’s a fragile game we play
    With the ghosts of yesterday
    If we can’t let go we’ll never say goodbye
    No trace of what remains
    No stones to mark the graves
    Only memories we thought we could deny

    There was so much more to lose
    Than the pain I put you through
    In my carelessness I left you in the dark
    And the blood may wash away
    But the scars will never fade
    At least I know somehow I made a mark

    In the dark
    In the light
    Nothing left
    Nothing right


    DRAWBAR (FEAT. TOM MORELLO):

    Instrumental


    FINAL MASQUERADE:

    Tearing me apart with / the words you wouldn’t say
    And suddenly tomorrow’s / a moment washed away
    ’Cause I don’t have a reason, and you don’t have the time
    But we both keep on waiting for something we won’t find

    The light on the horizon
    Was brighter yesterday
    With shadows floating over
    The scars begin to fade
    We said it was forever
    But then it slipped away
    Standing at the end of
    The final masquerade

    All I ever wanted / the secrets that you keep
    All you ever wanted / the truth I couldn’t speak
    ’Cause I can’t see forgiveness, and you can’t see the crime
    But we both keep on waiting for what we left behind


    A LINE IN THE SAND:

    Today
    We stood on the wall
    We laughed at the sun
    We laughed at the guns
    We laughed at it all
    And when they
    They told us to go
    We paid them no mind
    Like every other time
    But little did we know

    Today
    I looked for a sign
    With flames in my hands
    A line in the sand
    Between yours and mine
    And it came
    Like fire from below
    Your greed led the call
    My flag had to fall
    But little did you know

    Another day / your truth will come
    You’re gonna pay for what you’ve done
    You’ll get what’s yours / and face your crime
    You’ll tell them give me back what’s mine
    Give me back what’s mine

    I had never been a coward
    I had never seen blood
    You had sold me an ocean
    And I was lost in the flood
    We were counting on a leader
    We were driven by need
    But couldn’t take temptation
    And we were blinded by greed
    You were steady as a sniper
    We were waiting on a wire
    So we never saw it coming
    When you ran from the fire
    You can try intimidation
    And you can try to ignore
    But when the time comes calling, yeah
    You are gonna get yours

    And so today / your truth has come
    You’re gonna pay for what you’ve done
    You’ll get what’s yours / you’re out of time
    And you will give me back what’s mine
    Give me back what’s mine

    Too bad that ''And so today / your truth has come
    You’re gonna pay for what you’ve done
    You’ll get what’s yours / you’re out of time
    And you will give me back what’s mine
    Give me back what’s mine''

    is probably one of Chester's worst chorus ever. Not lyrics wise, but the way it sounds. It's awful.

    Is it just me or in KTTK, "Y’all stuck in that same flow" really sounds like "Y’all locked at that same flow" ?

    agreed, i think this album has few bad choruses, ALITS, GATS are pretty bad IMO AFN and wastelands too. UIG is way too repetitive. War is weird too, but since its a punk song its not that bad
