All I Ever Known
Written by Anthony Eugene Ramirez

[All I’ve Ever Known], Was riots on the inside,
And tell the truth, only after you have been lied.
Fighting with myself, the judge, I exonerate myself.
But an abolishment, lonely, so I tolerate myself.

What an empty cause, roaring lion, seeking 50 yards,
Don’t you violate what is mine, you’ll get the claws.
Barring Time, wrestle with hours and minutes,
Like a Boa Constrictor, strangling breath out it’s victim.

It’s a prey, like eagles and talons, ripping, shredding backs.
That wolf lives in isolation, rolls in a pack.
I can respond with a passion, but I choked the past…
To where the present looking shattered, like some broken glass.

Crash, chasing just the taste from exhausted sin..
The altered lens, pours and poisons, my faulted skin.
No argument, I’ve been tarnished, I’m lost in pretend.
And reality - the same time, confusion’s my parliament.

Chorus:
All I’ve Ever Known (Do This, Do That) [4x]

All I’ve Ever known, If I want something, go get it.
Never depend on another man, loyalty is pretentious.
A cheap visit, weighted down, gotta keep lifted.
Pushing like a weight bench, max out, keep busy.

Seek riches, character is built through winning.
Stepping on another man, I ain’t go no time for friendship.
Call it cold blooded, I call it cold physics.
What we humans built of, machine like, deal with it.

Military minded, work late, early rise.
Run into a gunfight, with nothing left, first to die.
Lay it on the line, push forward, don’t look behind.
Pain is a weakness, strengthen up your state of mind.

Race the time, Get it done, punch the clock.
Barricades, no problem, run through them, juggernaut.
Hate is a tool, use it like it’s lived and taught.
Death is inevitable, therefore, no love is lost.

Chorus:
All I’ve Ever Known (Do This, Do That) [4x]

All I’ve ever known, was challenged when I met Christ.
He took a dead living zombie, and Ruha – Gave life.
He cracked the safe and found out, there was nothing in it.
thorns that were choking me, quickly put the Heimlich to it.

Now full of vision, life starts in a baby infant.
Adults can be reborn, but we gotta rebuild the engine…
Die to ourselves, die to our competition.
Die to the authority, that challenges our will for living.

Willingness to learn, vital like we’re drinking water.
people are our greatest assets, screw the paper margin.
And I don’t care what the scientists say,
that a child can’t be born with a gene, that’ll make them gay.

It’s all a shade to control and behave our praise.
The Father of lights is calculating Judgement Day.
Don’t be confused, it’s obvious Dark and Light.
All I’ve Ever Known is Dead, Sacrifice…
