1.	Samad - Intro 00:45	lyrics	buy track
Intro We are united as one Amidst all challenges We are united as one And with our strength from within We’ll be the ones to lead the way
2.	Samad - Treacheries 01:48	lyrics	buy track
Treacheries The power now lies within you (and only within you) So speak the truth when the lies have overflowed Doubts will then disappear to the grounds Preventing the leeches that destroyed our crowd I will block the way against your army This treachery is on its finest It took myself a while to notice that You were the invisible enemy to catch Allowed myself to buy some time You will somehow feel my grudge Allowed myself to buy some time Feel my wrath I will block the way
3.	Samad - Impostor Syndrome 02:17	lyrics	buy track
Impostor Syndrome My hatred, it grows more Never meet them fake heroes You’re being told what you gotta do You don’t fuck up but you need to act like you’re the fool Before you die you got to live first And see, and see where life takes you You aren’t heard For them you haven’t done enough And maybe it’s time to realize that you don’t belong to their crowd This life is tough so know your enemy And learn to fight the good fight You don’t always need to win every war But the battle goes on and on There will be days where you need to hit rock bottom And you’ll question your worth Every choice you make reflects the kind of person that you are So no toxic thoughts Everybody wants the credit when the credit is due But who made all the hard work My hatred, it grows more and more So never meet them fake heroes
4.	Samad - Come Back Strong 02:54	lyrics	buy track
Come Back Strong Come back strong, we gotta come back strong Even if we fall We have to stay strong Come back strong, we gotta come back strong When we feel there’s no hope We have to stay strong Lost a loved one, lost a friend It ain’t easy for the heart to mend You lit a fire but it slowly dies When grief is all that we ever breathe inside Lost a job or losing faith Keep believing it’ll be all worth the wait This life of ours, it’s an adventure So this time get up and make another move Been pushed so hard, been told so many lies Some assholes cheer when they see the pain you try to hide The scars may have shown but keep standing tall So many doors but in the end the choice is always yours You’ve lost the game or social standing Tricked so hard you don’t even know where to start This life of ours, it’s an adventure So this time get up and make another move Stay strong You got no choice but to stay strong This life may knock you down It’ll make you unruly for a while But keep up the fight And make worthy of your time
5.	Samad - This Life (Never Let It Go To Waste) B-Side 03:36	lyrics	buy track
This Life (Never Let It Go To Waste) - B Side This is for the ones Who woke up with scars on their faces Seemed blinded by the light Never know which way they should be going All I ask Keep the faith and keep doing what you’re doing And break those chains To find and stand for what you believe in Do what you do but never let it go to waste This life That I chose to live, I chose not to give a shit Do what you do but never let it go to waste This life That I chose to live, I chose not to give a shit Lift your head, we all know it’s not the end New beginnings, it happens when you least expect it New beginnings, they always get to scare you But you gotta be tough and leave your worries totally You can get high on your own supply But you alone can make it through the hard times In this life, choose to do what is right You fight and stand for what you believe in Do what you do but never let it go to waste This life That I chose to live, I chose not to give a shit Do what you do but never let it go to waste This life That I chose to live, I chose not to give a shit UNOD. BUKOG. LAHUTAY. LAWAS. This life That I chose to live, I chose not to give a shit Do what you do but never let it go to waste This life That I’ll try and fix for God knows I will never quit And I will never quit You are what you do Not what you say you’ll do
6.	Samad - Raw Power 02:37	lyrics	buy track
Raw Power Every step we take a path is created We either rise or fall Enjoy the ride and feel the noise you hear Lose control Back off, fuck off, don’t you try to run and hide Bow down, kid Don’t you even dare try and dictate our ideals Raw power, raw power kills Don’t look down on us like trash Bow down ‘cause raw power kills We’ve had every pain and struggle like the rest Hardcore! We stay hardcore for life Don’t mind casting us out ‘cause we got our own ring We aim for solidarity Faking perfection but we all know that you’re not for real Hear us out We’ve got our voices to spread Motivations you cannot take Don’t you dictate us Don’t ever dictate us
