Punishment

(álbum: Urban Discipline - 1992)

I question not me, it only happens to others
I can't deny reality as life gets smothered

If the lines can be read between
Maybe you can tell me then what it all means
'Cause he who paints the big picture runs the whole scene

Locked down, I gotta get it out
Impending doom, a cloud above my head
Why me? My faith has been devout
Blasphemous? Am I better off dead?

Punishment, for all my sins

A burning thought inside my mind
Has me full of pity for all the human kind
As we move forth, we fall further behind

Fear of death, will my life go on?
Controlled fate? On the corner rolling dice
Punishment, but I've done nothing wrong
In my eyes, who really pays the price?

My lament, for the human race!
Guilty, punishment for all my sins!

Dread the day that brings the truth
Punishment for what I've done
Sentence me for all my sins
Bound in fear for what I've got
Though not much, it seems a lot
Life is death and no one wins

Busting my ass, another day another dollar
As I kneel down and I confess to the father
I'm suffering a burning question of the truth
Whether or not to pull the trigger or to jump right off the roof
'Cause I did things normal, just like all my friends
But now I'm positive and life, it all ends

Punishment, for all my sins
I repent!

In reality, we all must face the facts
That the majority of the people are out there smoking crack
Getting doped up, shooting that shit into their veins
The question must be asked if we have any brains left
Or right or wrong in this song
A question we all ask and must answer before long
'Cause nobody's safe in this world, what's the deal?
The sentence is death and to what court do I appeal?

Punishment, for all my sins!
I repent!

Punishment!
