1. “This is the point from which I
could never return
And if I back down now then for-
ever I burn
This is the point from which I could
never retreat
Cause If I turn back now there can
never be peace
This is the point from which I will
die and succeed
Living the struggle, I know I’m alive
when I bleed
From now on it can never be the
same as before
Cause the place I’m from doesn’t
exist anymore.”
- Immortal Technique
“But that will never be me, cause I am leavin’ the past
Like an abused wife with the kids, leavin’ your ass
Like a drug addict clean and sober, leavin’ the stash
Unbreakable Technique leavin’ the plane crash
I’m out with the black box and I refuse to return
I spit reality, instead of what you usually learn
and I refuse to be concerned with condescending advice
Sinner to Saint. cause I am the only motherfucker that could change my life.”

2. “Internally bleeding, cold blooded
Stripped of emotion, I go through
the motions, but there’s no
Life in my eyes, it’s like I’m hooked up
to a respirator
Waiting to die, hooked up to the
fucking chair
Waiting to fry, sooth an electrocution
currently used
In my execution, producing thoughts
at the speed of light
Burning confusion, I’m loosing my
sight, breathing is tight
The evening is white, I made my
peace with the Lord and now I
Stand on his right..”
- Immortal Technique
“As days go by my world gets colder
I’m older, experience got my heart bolder
Hold up, better days ahead that’s what I hope for
There’s beauty in the eyes of the beholder
I told ya.”
- Cyne
3. “Dreams are, the building blocks of my
heart and my soul
The meeting unfolds, hoping that my
story is told
Driftin, with eyes closed but seeing the
deeper meaning
Of what I want in life, precisely when
I’m dreaming
It’s so misleading, but yet I gotta follow
through
Holdin true to myself in rhythm is what
I wanna do
Searchin, through Bible verses, books in
the Koran
Lookin for the meaning of life and the
essence of all.”
- Cyne
“So I’m drifting away like a feather in air
letting my soul take me away from the hurt and dispair
So I’m keeping the vertical forever elevator
Riding the escalator to the something that’s greater.”
- Nujabes
