Prevail
What begins with an a and ends with "asphyxia"?
MePrev Onethe microphone cripple
A life on the edge of the walking dead
You either talk in black or you speak in red
I can t help you if you don t have the language down
It s either sink or swim and the average drown
Some of us stay afloat and respect the wave
With your mouth full of sandburnt by sunrays
Five Ways to SundayA Fistfull of Dollars
A barrel full of commereceblasting the somber
We always stand guard over the late shift
The cause and effect of the light and the mist
In the world of mixtapes and other sick breaks
I spit like my life depends on what I make

CHORUS:
Work at late nightnot that we hate light
Just feels rightthat s when tracks come out tight
Thoughts start creepingpeople are sleeping
Pull words out of their dreamsit s the deep end
It s the deep endpeople are sleeping
Pull words out of their dreamsit s the deep end
Keep in mindit s not that we hate light
Just feels rightthat s when tracks come out tight

Mad Child
Hand to hand combatgone far beyond that
Armed to the teeththis is a bomb threat
Graveyard shiftway past obnoxious
We play to winyou count your losses
An awesome rosteroriginal designed rhymes find time
To make the shiver up your spine climb
This ain t theatricswe rock with tactics
Smash on you plastic actresses for practice
The fact is I m violent by naturedon t hate ya
Like most people about as much as they like me
Haven t found a way to say Fuck You politely
These days I stick to myselfbut sometimes get sick of
myself
Got my own circlelove my peoplebleed for my people
Need no replacementMad Child s life unfolds with bold
statements

CHORUS:
Work at late nightnot that we hate light
Just feels rightthat s when tracks come out tight
Thoughts start creepingpeople are sleeping
Pull words out of their dreamsit s the deep end
It s the deep endpeople are sleeping
Pull words out of their dreamsit s the deep end
Keep in mindit s not that we hate light
Just feels rightthat s when tracks come out tight

Mad Child
I m not a vampire but I m walking on a fine line
over fire tight-ropebarefoot on barbed wire

Prevail
I m not a werewolf but I force my fangs onto the townfolk
Drain a little cowpoke until the city s bloodsoaked

Mad Child
I m not a goblina hobbita ghostor ghoul
Swollen Members ain t fuckin with most you fools

Prevail
I m not a phantoma bansheea witchor an ogre
But my crew s got the best chance of taking over

Mad Child
YoI don t transform and I don t change shapes
Don t take the busdon t shoplift tapes
But I used toand if you choose to
Here s something to pop inside your walkman and cruise to

Prevail
I ma pay dues and bluesthat s the truth
If there s one thing I ve learned from lifeit s what s
to lose
I knowthat s why we never duplicate shows
You re just an imitationyou can die like white buffalo

CHORUS:
Work at late nightnot that we hate light
Just feels rightthat s when tracks come out tight
Thoughts start creepingpeople are sleeping
Pull words out of their dreamsit s the deep end
It s the deep endpeople are sleeping
Pull words out of their dreamsit s the deep end
Keep in mindit s not that we hate light
Just feels rightthat s when tracks come out tight
