Verse 1:

I see the sweat is dripping

That's because you know

just what I'm thinking

Don't look back

it's me who follows

And there ain't nothing

from me you can borrow

You like to hide behind lies

But we see through your disguise

It's not a threat or a

curse Just a proper verse

I'm gonna make you let go

Of what you tried to withhold

And I can promise

it won't be long

Yes I can promise

Chorus 1:

Boy you better pray

We don't seek you out

no You better pray

Verse 2:

You think the war is over

I've only shown you

the tip of the iceberg

And you rely upon your lawyers

But at night when you

sleep does it bother you?

You like to hide behind lies

But we see through your disguise

It's not a threat or a

curse Just a proper verse

I'm gonna make you let go

Of what you tried to withhold

And I can promise

it won't be long

Yes I can promise

Chorus 2:

Boy you better pray

We don't seek you well no

You better hope

We might lose

control no no

Is this scheme

for your main light

4.) Represent

Here it is:

Verse 1: (you can use the chords, or the intro...either one sounds good)

A kid came up to me now just the other day

And asked me if I thought about what I would say

If everything came crashing down on top of me

How would I stay torn?

Chorus:

Will you represent?

Will you stand close?

Will they shame you?

Will they blame you?

Verse 2:

It’s funny how the words of a child can be

Simple, but the thought there is so meaningful

Makes me wonder what I would say to me

In the eyes of another

Chorus:

Will you represent?

Will you stand close?

Will they shame you?

Will they blame you?

There’s a consequence

For the path you chose

Will they change you?

Will they make you who you are?

Will they make you who you are?

Will they make you who you are?

Verse 3:

Let the free world ride your way

In these times of darkened days

Let the free world ride your wayyyyy-yayyy(let the free world ride your way)

ooooh ooooh oooh

Ending Chorus:

You will represent

You’ll stand close

They won’t shame you

They won’t change you

There’s a consequence

For the path you chose

They can’t change you

They can’t make you who you are not.

hope you like it! =) Have fun with it and ROCK OUT!!!

C - x32010

Verse 1:

My Grandpa said to me, "grandson

sit down we need to talk

in life, there may be times

when it gets hard to walk the walk

It's easier to take the path

that most have traveled on

But then again sometimes to do

what's right you must walk alone."

Chorus:

And that is

a lonely road

Ohh When this

world burns down

Deep in your soul

Ohh You will find there's

a piece left behind

You will find there's

a piece to find

(Piece to find)

Verse 2:

Some people are unkind to

those who see things different

oh We've all felt pain in

ways it hurts to even bring it up

But that don't mean that patience

Take this motion lying down

I'll stand and fight until the

day they put me in the ground

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

And now I've taught

you all I know

So take this seed

and let it grow

Though I'm here now

I'll soon be gone

I did what i can to

try it make it strong

(I did what i can to

try it make it strong)

(I can see that

you're strong)

(Repeat Chorus twice)

Verse 1:

Its January 1970

do you remember me

You put me on a boat across

the sea in the name of victory

But much to my surprised when I

arrived there was no welcoming committee

Instead there was a man for me to

kill and now I see all this too real

Refrain:

Then I saw him standing

with a bayonet

and as I ran towards

him he hardly broke a sweat

When I took his life

he fell to his knees

And as his eyes began to

fade he whispered softly

Chorus 1:

Godspeed this letter

away from here

I've sealed it with my tears

and stomped it with my

fists And godspeed this

letter away from you

My work down here is through

I'm on my way to better

days and so are you

Verse 2:

I'm in his pocket that I saw the

picture of his children and his

family And I began to realize this

person I despised, in actuality

Was not much different from

myself we probably could have

taught each other many things

And now I know its much too

ate although I couldn't hesitate

GI checked his gun and

his chamber was empty

(Repeat Refrain)

Choru 2:

Godspeed this letter

away from here

I've sealed it with my tears

and stomped it with my

fists And godspeed this

letter away from you

My work down here is through

I'm on my way to better

days and so are you

Bridge:

o-ho We know not

what we've done

And o--ho We know

not what we've done

Chorus 3:

Godspeed this letter

away from here

I've sealed it with my tears

and stomped it with my

fists And godspeed this

letter away from you

My work down here is through

I'm on my way to better

C(hold)

days and so are you
