To be or not be lesser than...Amazing Ain’t the plan So hear me when I say Get the fuck out the way No disrespect meant But truth has connected It’s my life, and I’m gon’ live it Too proud and fumbled Broken hearted, Crumbled On the floor But no more Call it a stumble Now I’m back on my feet Message clear, be me This is my chance to wake up and dream I won’t let the slings and arrows Turn me away from my brighter days I’ll take arms against a sea of troubles Until I reach what’s there for me Who out there feels like I do? Wondering why do a thousand shocks try to consume you? It’s hard to bear when Wrongs are everywhere Making cowards of us all It just don’t seem fair Maybe I should lay down Let my eyes be weighed down And dream of what’s next But I’ve come too far to stay down Cause there’s no doubt in the end I will win Let me say it again, I will, Yes I will... win Chorus [To die, to sleep no more it seems The end of to be or not to be] [Must I suffer the slings and arrows Take arms against a sea of trouble] [It puzzles our will, makes us bear the ills] I will go, I won’t go [Break] Chorus

Racing racing is my mind 
Takes me takes me for a ride
 Not one to bide my time
 Energy has all aligned
 Power I know is mine
 Greatness is my only design
 Sometimes I feel like a lion
 Running on instinct to trying
 Going until I can mastered
 Whatever I need to capture
 Gonna keep going and going
 Until my cup’s overflowing
 When I put my mind to it
 Then I’m resigned, do it
 Ain’t no turning back
 Gotta stay on track
 When I put my foot in it
 Everything I got’s in it
 Give it all I got
 Never gonna stop Racing racing is my mind 
Takes me takes me for a ride
 Not one to bide my time
 Energy has all aligned
 Power I know is mine
 Greatness is my only design
 
Sometimes I feel like I’m fire 
Lighting up all I desire
 See the flames cant nothing stop me
 At the top is where I was born to be When I put my mind to it
 Then I’m resigned, do it
 Ain’t no turning back
 Gotta stay on track
 When I put my foot in it
 Everything I got’s in it
 Give it all I got
 Never gonna stop Racing racing is my mind 
Takes me takes me for a ride
 Not one to bide my time
 Energy has all aligned
 Power I know is mine
 Greatness is my only design
 
 Guided by vibes
 They speak louder than anything
 Surrounded by tribe
 A nation of kings and queens
 The only thing that could stop me is me


 But I’m not the one who just gives up 
I can see what’s there for the taking
 So all the shackles I’m breaking
 Now is all we got
 I won’t wait for anything 
I’m taking my shot 
Wait til they get a hold of me 
I’m gonna push through a break-through
 Not one to give up, no thank you
 Greatness is what I’ll get into yeah
 Racing racing is my mind 
Takes me takes me for a ride
 Not one to bide my time
 Energy has all aligned
 Power I know is mine
 Greatness is my only design

Synchronize your watchful eyes and sound the alarm 
Now arise strong & wise to get ready for the storm 
I feel like bustin' loose, lightin' up like a burning fuse now
 With the force of a centrifuge, I'm breaking right through roof, uh
 Fantasize, actualize what’s waiting to be born

 And in The Ultra shine inside your mind
 And let the moment take you to the other side
 And in The Ultra there is never time
 So let The Ultra take you to the other side

 Emphasize the yes inside, allow it to form
 Synthesize, electrify, vibrating like a swarm 
I feel like bustin' loose, lightin' up like a burning fuse now
 With the force of a centrifuge, I'm breaking right through roof, uh
 Stilling time, breathing tides that pull you to the core
 And in The Ultra shine inside your mind 
And let the moment take you to the other side
 And in The Ultra there is never time
 So let The Ultra take you to the other side

 Mesmerize. Light up in your eyes
 Crystalize. What you realize

Don’t mean to cause no trouble While you stay hidden in your bubble  I don’t mean to cause u trouble  But u got me livin’ here in the rubble For what it’s worth u charge me double  Like you’re trying to shakedown the dark side of town If I’m being too subtle Change. Or I’ll burn it down The slumlord is here And tries to bring us fear He’s sleazy and sly And hikes the rent up high He don’t do repairs This surely isn’t fair But he can bent  It’s time for the slumlord to play the rent Gotta be cool they say Don’t be a fool they say Even when people are cruel they say U gotta try and try again to meet them half way  Bullshit I’m sick of it And yeah, I get it Keep the peace and pray  One day he’s gonna quit it But there’s no way in hell While he sips his Zinfandel  He cares about his clientele  And the ghettos where they dwell Just get the money, get the money, keep it coming,  Keep it coming, keep it coming, screw the plumbing,  And the heating, and the cheating and the struggling Ignore the dumb bum chump who’s grumbling More greedy, more shady, more shitty U can’t have a party  And u can’t have a pity What u gonna do about livin for the city? Burn it down.  The slumlord is here And tries to bring us fear He’s sleazy and sly And hikes the rent up high He don’t do repairs This surely isn’t fair But he can bent  It’s time for the slumlord to play the rent Slumlord, what are you good for? Slumlord, don’t wanna see you now more Slumlord, what are you good for? Slumlord, don’t let me see you no more

With you I never stood the chance I can’t survive this goth romance In good company your smile was kind While your icy fingers bruised my spine Such choreography A torrid affair Laced in your spider web You have me fixed on you I’m bent and I’m bare Your fangs sink through me I can’t break free You trained in cunning Conning hearts with lies Your appetite grows wide You siphon love from me To feed your gluttony Gluttony I thought I could escape your snare But I was crushed in your cruel hands You stole my control You mangled my heart and soul Such choreography A torrid affair Laced in your spider web You have me fixed on you I’m bent and I’m bare Your fangs sink through me I can’t break free You trained in cunning Conning hearts with lies Your appetite grows wide You siphon love from me To feed your gluttony Gluttony
