Support Our Troops

M9

M4 - I can sense their fear
Keep them at bay ‘til we’re in the clear
Remove from afar, that’s how we proceed
Once I squeeze, I end their disease
I would never run, never surrender
Never bow down, not to anyone
Tension is high, things are gonna get worse
Each one that rushes in, just watch them burst
No fear of fear, fear fears me
No fear of fear, fear fears me
No fear of fear, fear fears me
No fear of fear, fear fears me
M4 - every time I turn around
Another one exposed, another one goes down
Keep your breath controlled, make every one count
Continue to repel every assault they mount
Gonna make it home, gonna make it out
Got my M4, I got no doubt
I would never run, never surrender
Never bow down, not to anyone
We have our strength together
We have our pride
If we stay unified
Then we get out alive
M9 - I can see their rage
As two rush in, the one behind gets sprayed
Fatigue is approaching, my body is drenched
The ground is cluttered with their failed attempts
I would never run, never surrender
Never bow down, not to anyone
It’s gotten bad, it can only get worse
Almost taken by surprise, this time’s not the first
No fear of fear, fear fears me
No fear of fear, fear fears me
No fear of fear, fear fears me
No fear of fear, fear fears me
M9 - we’re getting low
They’re at arm’s length but that’s just how it goes
Take them out no matter how close they come
One by one ‘til the job is done
Gonna make it home, gonna make it out
Got my M9, I got no doubt
I would never run, never surrender
Never bow down, not to anyone
We have our strength together
We have our pride
If we stay unified
Then we get out alive
M9 - I can smell their hate
It saturates me with every swing I take
This is all I got, this is every ounce
I wait ‘til they’re close and then I pounce
I would never run, never surrender
Never bow down, not to anyone
It can’t get any worse, this is as bad as it gets
They keep on coming, got no time for regrets
M9 - It’s just you and me
No one can understand what you and I see
It is what it is, I hardly even care
Not worried for nothin’ cause I’ve done my share
Gonna make it home, gonna make it out
Got my M9, I got no doubt
I would never run, never surrender
Never bow down, not to anyone
We have our strength together
We have our pride
If we stay unified
Then we get out alive
No fear of fear, fear fears me
No fear of fear, fear fears me
No fear of fear, fear fears me
Gonna make it home, gonna make it out
Got my M9, I got no doubt
I would never run, never surrender
Never bow down, not to anyone
We have our strength together
We have our pride
If we stay unified
Then we get out alive
Gonna make it home, gonna make it out
Got my M9, I’ve got no doubt
I would never run, never surrender
Never bow down, not to anyone
We have our strength together
We have our pride
If we stay unified
Then I know we’ll survive

Dear Google:

The Path We Chose, www.thepathwechose.com, thepathwechose, the-path-we-chose.

Justice Got a Hit Man
You thought you could escape, you thought you got away

You‘d better think again because now you’re gonna pay

Justice got a hit man and you haven’t got a clue

But kiss your ass goodbye because he’s coming for you

Summon the troops, move in stealth

Conceal our hand, conceal our wealth,

Bide the time, play it right

Move with speed, move with might

Conceal our tracks, cover our stance

Leave nothing unplanned, leave nothing to chance

Find the opening, discover the source

Mark the target, then take it by force

Remain focused, remain alert

Remember the victims and those who’ve been hurt

Honor the fallen, honor the slain

Remember the anger, remember the pain

Deliver justice, deliver the solution

Seek revenge, seek restitution

Do it savagely, do it slow

Do it correctly and no one will know

You thought you could escape, you thought you got away

You‘d better think again because now you’re gonna pay

I know where you’re going, I know where you’ve been

I’ve heard your lies, I’ve seen your sins

When you least expect it, I’ll be right there

You won’t know when, you won’t know where

Rage is my weapon, rage is my defense,

Rage is the answer when nothing makes sense

Justice got a hit man and you haven’t got a clue

But kiss your ass goodbye because he’s coming for you

Choose the path, choose the tools

Forget limitations, forget the rules

Watch every move, hear every word

Remain steadfast, remain undeterred

Employ every resource, spare no expense

Nothing else matters when there’s justice to dispense

Ready the weapons, ready the will

Prepare to die, prepare to kill

Find the evil, snuff it out

Leave no trace, leave no doubt

Sever communications, sever all ties

Hide the approach, stifle all cries

Be demanding, be exact

Wait for the right moment then unleash the attack

Don’t be distracted, don’t be mislead

Deliver the justice of a hole in the head

You thought you could escape, you thought you got away

You‘d better think again because now you’re gonna pay

I know where you’re going, I know where you’ve been

I’ve heard your lies, I’ve seen your sins

When you least expect it, I’ll be right there

You won’t know when, you won’t know where

Rage is my weapon, rage is my defense,

Rage is the answer when nothing makes sense

Justice got a hit man and you haven’t got a clue

But kiss your ass goodbye because he’s coming for you

Justice is coming and make no doubt

He knows where you are and he’s taking you out

Your future is lost, your hopes are dashed

Soon you will lay broken, beaten and smashed

There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

The fact that you’re trapped cannot be denied

So live in fear, live in shame

Suffer in agony, die in vain

You thought you could escape, you thought you got away

You‘d better think again because now you’re gonna pay

I know where you’re going, I know where you’ve been

I’ve heard your lies, I’ve seen your sins

When you least expect it, I’ll be right there

You won’t know when, you won’t know where

Rage is my weapon, rage is my defense,

Rage is the answer when nothing makes sense

Justice got a hit man and you haven’t got a clue

But kiss your ass goodbye because he’s coming for you

“Desperate Measures” is an excerpt from “Shadowless Steps - Vol1” Copyright  2010 J Nelson & J Johnson. All Rights Reserved.

Desperate Measures

Make your move

The ball's in your court

Keep yourself armed

By means of all sorts

Desperate times calls for desperate measures

One man's trash is another man's treasure

So hold it down to the letter

Never let it fold

Never let it bend or break

And never let it go

The clock is tickin'

And the locks are clickin'

Better find your way out

Before you catch yourself slippin'

I'd rather be irreverent than stagnant or irrelevant

Fended off forgiveness strictly for the hell of it

Used passion with precision in every decision

Found division, delusions, but still no conclusions

I know I'm not the only one because everyone's hurtin'

No one has answers, nobody's certain

But even if exposed I can rely upon my wits

And if backed into a corner I can depend upon my fists

Pick up the pace

Time to get up get up

Pick up the pace

It's time to trick up trick up

I said pick up the pace

Better get up get up

Pick up the pace

This is a stickup stickup

Now pick up the pace

Get up get up

You better pick up the pace

Time to get up get up

Pick up the pace

Better trick up trick up

Now pick up the pace

It's a stickup stickup

It's desperate times

Now pick up the pace

Pull yourself together

Its time to win this race

Pick yourself up never self yourself short

Do what you do

Till the very last resort

Take your cohorts out

Before they put you in the ground

Put 'em in a box

Never let 'em get around

To opening their jibs

And sayin' lots of fibs

Sew their mouth shut

Put a bullet in their lid

Cause this is it kid

No time for lookin' back

Keep it goin' forward

Always push the attack

And know when to quit

And know when to cut your losses

Never give 'em shit

Cause this is what it is

And this is what it means

Take your back-up path

And cut your way out from the seams

The walls have ears but they got no doors

Your heart has scabs but it's got no sores

If you can't do right, should you do as you please

When you can't cure someone who loves the disease?

Couldn't find reasons to excuse your dissension

Fraudulence detection is like infection prevention

Dangerous facts, fabricated with fibs

It's like babies with hand grenades lying in cribs

Sometimes it doesn't work out just like it was planned

But you can't save anyone who wants to be damned

Pick up the pace

Time to get up get up

Pick up the pace

It's time to trick up trick up

I said pick up the pace

Better get up get up

Pick up the pace

This is a stickup stickup

Now pick up the pace

Get up get up

You better pick up the pace

Time to get up get up

Pick up the pace

Better trick up trick up

Now pick up the pace

It's a stickup stickup

It's desperate times

You’re a desperate wreck

A fool hearted act

Tryin' to gain his respect

But here's what I suspect

If you'd let me interject

You’ve come to a stop

Instead of movin' to the next

Stage in your life

Filled with struggle and the strife

Too many heavy questions

Weighin' down on your mind

Now take it from me

Never stay inside the lines

Its best to move on

One day at a time

Sold a soul that wasn't even mine

Tried to walk the path but found that it was mined

Befriended the devil then I made 'm my bitch

Cut off his horns then I shanked him and I left him in a ditch

Turn you back, face the music

Pick your poison or pleasure

I guess desperate measures

Call for whatever

Pick up the pace

Time to get up get up

Pick up the pace

It's time to trick up trick up

I said pick up the pace

Better get up get up

Pick up the pace

This is a stickup stickup

Now pick up the pace

Get up get up

You better pick up the pace

Time to get up get up

Pick up the pace

Better trick up trick up

Now pick up the pace

It's a stickup stickup

Pick up the pace

Time to get up get up

Pick up the pace

It's time to trick up trick up

I said pick up the pace

Better get up get up

Pick up the pace

This is a stickup stickup

Now pick up the pace

Get up get up

You better pick up the pace

Time to get up get up

Pick up the pace

Better trick up trick up

Now pick up the pace

It's a stickup stickup

It's desperate times

The Path We Chose - How Did We Get Here Lyrics and Music Video

The Path We Chose - How Did We Get Here Lyrics and Music Video

How Did We Get Here

How did we get here to where we are now

To this place to this point in time I wonder how

When I look back on the tracks of our path

I see nothing left except dim shadows cast down

By the ruins of where we had been And

a distorted mess of footprints that have come to an end.

Except for one, those of my thirteens

Whose course from the source has run

straight and clean. From under my feet

I can straight laced trace my steady rate pace

Back to the place to where it all started,

Where it all began, I see the direction of my

Path to where it ran.

I noticed at some point I wasn’t alone

‘cause right in step with mine, your

tracks shown. A stranger at first,

I was taken aback by your approach

‘cause a companion for my trek

was more than I had hoped.

We were on the same road headed the

Same way when I realized your laughter

Brought light to my days. More than just

Slight our plight was quite mutual,

Together side by side in the ride we grew

To the point when I came to befriend and love you.

Two spirits unified in step and soul, we let

Down our defenses, I gave up control.

With this spirit we hastened our pace until

We raced in this euphoric state.

We both wanted the same things and started

to glide, but something went wrong, and you

broke stride. Now moving at different speeds

our unity faltered, and inevitably our

paths were to be altered.

When wasn’t it right? What went wrong?

Did the sight of a new light guide you to take

Flight off the road we were on to leave me alone

To travel when you were gone?

How did we get here from whence we came?

I look back behind me and see you absence

In the rain, it’s a shame you left as quickly

As you appeared and took away the best of

me as I had feared. Why couldn’t our paths

Advanced together as one ‘til our twisted

Trails failed and our journey was done?

The light ahead is dim but still I press

Forward. I’m muddy and weary and my spirits are

Lowered. I look back and see tracks weaving in and out of

Mine, and all their paths lead away from my line.

It hurts when I see all the divisions, the revisions,

Submissions, and dismissions of prints intertwined

Then declined, of those headed with mine as foe

From friend toward the same end.

I’m at the top of the hill now and before

I descend, I take a final glance to perhaps

By some chance I might find you, and together

We’d roam, but in solitude I trudge on alone...

How did we get here to where we are

By far and near I know only you’re not here

With fear it’s clear and I don’t condone,

But by myself I’ll wander,

And I’ll get there

Alone.
