1. Roots Bloody Roots

Roots, bloody roots…

I believe in our fate
we don’t need to fake.
It’s all we want to be,
watch me freak.

I say we’re growing every day,
getting stronger in every way.
I’ll take you to a place where
we shall find our roots.

Roots, bloody roots…

Rain bring me the strength
to get to another day and all
I want to see: set us free!

Why can’t you see,
can’t you feel this is real?

Pray we don’t need to change,
our ways to be saved.
That is all we want to be,
watch us freak.

2. Attitude

One week of struggling on
the real world is, so you can see.
Feel your soul and shape your
mind to warfare, it’s all for real.

Live your life not the way
they taught you, do what you feel.
Survive this jungle, give me blood,
give me pain, these scars won’t heal.

What were you thinking what a
wonderful world, you’re full of shit.
Leave it behind, they don’t care
if you cry, all is left is pain.

Can you take it?…

The only way to get away
is to kill your pride, attitude.

I won’t take it…

So in the end
I want to see some respect.
I say you better show some respect,
I say attitude and respect.

3. Cut-Throat

Telling lies right into your face,
grab your soul and make a disgrace.
Make you believe you’re bigger than life,
no one cares if you’ll live or die.

Waiting for the moment to strike,
to take possession, to take your heart.
Turn your part into a farce without
respect and without regret.

Cut-throat…

Promise this and promise that,
deep inside nothing at all.
In a war of filth and greed we
don’t need this kind of shit.

All I say there will survive,
we know what’s true, we know what’s right.
We’re going through this till the end,
and I know you’re not my friend.

Cut-throat…

To give in, no fucking way!
To give in, no way!

So don’t tell us it can’t be done,
putting down what you don’t know.
Money isn’t our God because
integrity will free our soul.

Enslavement pathetic ignorant corporations!

5. Breed Apart

Creepy crawl on concrete and dust,
asphalt jungle and piles of crust.
Non-sense thoughts inside the mind,
what really means what I want?

Open up your mind
and go your own way.
Open up your mind
and go your own way.

Straight old thoughts to force
you down, raping race breed apart.

Open up your mind
and go your own way.
Open up your mind
and go your own way.

6. Straighthate

I ask myself why I’m so hateful,
maybe it is a part of my nature?
People say I’m fucked in my mind,
feels like there’s nothing left inside.

Walking now on different dirty streets
but the same old feeling still exists.
Hate is like a shade that will never leave,
leave me alone, I don’t need sympathy.

What goes around
comes around,
you’re going down.
Straight hate…

Criticize and call me negative,
you never face life or reality.
Separate myself from the rest,
what the fuck do you expect?

What goes around
comes around,
you’re going down.
Straight hate…

Straight fucking hate,
what goes around
comes around.

Grow up in the ghettos made me
real to deal with my fears
Motherfucker you don’t understand
pain and hate.

7. Spit

Hate them, hate them, live your farce.
Same thing, same way, your karma will come.
Ask me no questions and I tell no lies,
ask me again and I spit in your eyes

Live your life, leave me alone,
live your life, leave me alone.
Face me, face me, feel the cut,
open sore always bleeding

Live your life, leave me alone,
live your life, leave me alone.
Motherfucker!

Spit…

8. Lookaway

Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can’t do it today
What makes it so good
That a man would kill for it
Lie just to lick a bit

Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can’t do it today
What makes it so good
To lie just to lick

Fake it, you like it, just take me away
Hold it, just save it and I’ll be repaid

Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can’t do it today
What makes it so good
That a man would kill for it
To lie just to lick a bit

Each time I pull it apart
I get disgusted, can’t do it today
What makes it so good
To lie, to lick

Take it, enlarge it, became it, before
Like it, I like it, and I’ll be repaid

Fake it, then like it, just take it tonight
Take it

I look at you, (then) you look at me, (then) you look away [repeat: x14]

9. Dusted

You make me mute
Hiding the truth
Revealing a farse
Created by your mind

What do you expect
Exposing your lies
Printed in your eyes
There’s no alibi

To cooperate and not be allowed
They’re killing my name, sewing my mouth

Prospect in life
Lost in the line
To cooperate
And just be alive

You gonna fall hiding the truth
You gonna crawl finding the truth
To blame myself it’s my disgrace
To blame the world by my mistakes

Dusted
Dusted
Dusted

Turn around and turning around
And turning around and inside out
Turn around and turning around
And turning around and inside out

Do not disturb
Leave me alone
The fear within inside and beyond
The fear within inside and beyond

You make me mute
Hiding the truth
Revealing a farce
Created by your mind

What do you expect
Exposing your lies
Printed in your eyes
There’s no alibi

You gonna fall hiding the truth
You gonna crawl finding the truth
To blame myself it’s my disgrace
To blame the world by my mistakes

Dusted
Dusted
Dusted
Dusted
Dusted
Dusted

10. Born Stubborn

Stubborn from the start
Obey no one no matter what
Our life it’s our right
Why don’t you go away

We live without orders
We live without rules
Tearing down the wall
That try to hold us in

Born in pain
Born stubborn

I got my tribe it’s my own right
And I don’t have to tell you why
It’s been like that from the start
And you can’t break it apart
Sepultura in our hearts
Can’t take it away
These roots will always remain

Born in pain
Born stubborn

Stubborn from the start
Obey no one no matter what
Our life it’s our right
Why don’t you go away

We live without orders
We live without rules
Tearing down the wall
That try to hold us in

Born in pain
Born stubborn

I got my tribe it’s my own right
And I don’t have to tell you why
It’s been like that from the start
And you can’t break it apart
Sepultura in our hearts
Can’t take it away
These roots will always remain

Born in pain
Born stubborn
Born in pain
Born in pain

Suffering life
Make us rise

13. Ambush

Screaming
For more justice
Amazonia burns
Can you hear them?

I’ll fight
To save another day
So join us
And we’ll make them leave this land

Threatening
To kill how we feel
(But) if we stop them it’ll be worth dying for

When you go down
When you go down motherfucker
When you go down
When you go down fighting

When you go down
When you go down motherfucker
When you go down
When you go down fighting
Motherfucker

When you go down
When you go down motherfucker
When you go down
When you go down fighting

When you go down
When you go down motherfucker
When you go down
When you go down fighting

Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?

14. Endangered Species

Life
The struggle to survive
Crawling, raging
Feed the hate inside

Are we going to see another day?
Are we going to make it all the way?
Are we going to see the light of day?
Are we going to make it till the end?

Rise
Bad moon rise
Another war, another crime
End in sight

Bleak
Why and what the fuck?
Shut your mouth, shut your mind, this the way
You’re just another prey

Is that what we’ve became?

Rise! [Repeat: x8]

Are we going to see another day?
Are we going to make it all the way?
Are we going to see the light of day?
Are we going to make it till the end?

Endangered species
Endangered species
Endangered species
Is that what we’ve became?

15. Dictatorshit

1964
Coup d’etat
Military force
Hundreds dead

Why did they disappear?
Dictatorshit
Why did they disappear?
Dictatorshit

1995
Spirit still alive
We still hear the cry
From the one that survived!

Why did they disappear?
Dictatorshit
Why did they disappear?
Dictatorshit
