Verse 1:
And don't you hate the look in their eyes
when they despise everything you worked for?
Do you swallow your pride
or do you follow the fire inside to make 'em hurt more?
How could you stand the sound of their voice
when everything they say has an ulterior motive?
Now your balance is lost
Did you handle what dropped or did you preconceive the notion?
Hook:
Don't lose your balance
Don't lose your balance
Your head is spinnin' like it's vertigo
Your world is turnin' vertical
from malice, don't lose your balance
Don't lose your balance
Verse 2 (Voli):
Would you give your life?
Would you sell your soul?
Would you make the sacrifice?
Would you wait 'till after life to really know?
To really know...to really know...
So when will it all be clear?
They can put my heart through the fire with their doubts
but a flame can't cremate desire, they'll burn out
Steady on that tripwire, never try to look down
(Hook)
Verse 3 (Voli):
Welcome to the first day of history
Farewell to that workplace misery
Take off like the plane on that strippers g-string
'cause I have these dreams, sleep symmetry
Dark room, stage lights
Mumble through the stage fright
Bite the bullet purely hopin' it would taste right
Quit buyin' time, I could make it for the same price
(D1):
Now you clench your fists
and you grit your teeth
you're too pissed to sit, you just gotta get even
You're so quick to flip
You know this is it, load the clip then unload your demons
'till your foes are screamin', yeah
