Young Blood

I am the representee of a culture that is strong and powerful within

a brotherhood built on a solid rock of trust

A energy that flows through the vains and makes it way to the heart

Naked among the obvious eye,
you'll observe a master of an art at it's finest

Lonesome skin brought unto the world
Self reliance becomes a struggle to endure

nevertheless the tensions grow and the gravels thicken
society drastically emerge almost catarophic

Pride, respect, and my word is all questioned under the streetlights

it's a vivid decision
social insight becomes dismantled
And a generation of deception that once lured you 
is bound to leave you with a bruise

Everything you desperately portrayed as a young blood 
got you trapped in it's eye-candy
