Primo [Verse 1] Like shining oil this night is dripping down Night is dripping down, glistening And I am trying not to think what I am leaving now ‘Cause I’m leaving now, it’s time you let me go Let me go [Chorus] ‘Till then carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone give you away Just carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone, take my place Take my place [Verse 2] This air between us is getting thinner now Getting thinner now, bittersweet Across that horizon this sun is setting now Slowly setting now, it’s time you let me go Let me go [Chorus] ‘Till then carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone give you away Just carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone, take my place Take my place [Chorus 2] Just carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone, give you away Just carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone, take my place Take my place [Bridge] Tell them I couldn’t help myself And tell them I was alone Tell them I, was the only one And there’s nothing that could stop me from going home Tell them I couldn’t help myself And tell them I was alone Oh, tell them I, was the only one And there’s nothing that could stop me [Outro] From going home From going home From going home From going home Oh, tell them I, was the only one And there’s nothing that could stop me From going home… Foot Patrol [Verse 1] You don’t give a damn about the blood and sweat that I spill To make a song standin’ right here But you can bet your soul and your faith in God that I will Not fold in the face of this fear ‘Cause I won’t be intimated by you, pushed down and lied to I’m not a fool or punk And you can try and bruise me or break me, please don’t mistake me See if I don’t get my back up [Bridge] Now, now see if I don’t get my back up Now, now see if I don’t get my back up Now, now see if I don’t get my back up Now, now see if I don’t get my back up [Verse 2] It's something for your people on the block to Blackout and rock to, give you what you need Like Papa, who shot you Separate the weak from the obsolete The meek, I creep hard on impostors And switch styles on the dime, quick-witted y'all Quit tripping, I don't have time for your crying I grind tough, sucker, make your mind up Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up? Bang, bang, little monkey man playing With the big guns only get you slayed I ain't playing, I'm just saying You ain't got a sliver of a chance I get iller, I deliver while you quiver in your pants So shake, shake down, Money, here's the break down You can play the bank, Imma play the bank take down And no mistakes now I'm coming to get you I'm just a Banksy, you're a Brainwash, get the picture? It's like that *Not sure if it's "get my back up" or "get right back up"*
Three Band Terror: (only Brad) We swim against the rising waves that crash against the shore The body bends until it breaks, the early morning sings no more We swim against the rising waves that crash against the shore The body bends until it breaks and sings again no more The winds have torn the flesh away The early morning sings no more We swim against the rising waves that crash against the shore The body bends until it breaks and sings again no more The winds have torn the flesh away The early morning sings no more 'Cause time has torn the flesh away The early morning sings no more
Foot Patrol: You don't give a damn about the blood and sweat that I spill to make it so I'm standing right here but you can bet your soul and your faith in God that I will not fold in the face of this fear cause I won't be intimidated by you push down or lie to I'm not a fool or a perv and you could try to abuse me or break me but please don't mistake Now see if I don't get back up. It's something for you people on the block to black out and rock to Give you what you need like Poppa Who Shot Ya? Separate the weak from the obsolete You're meek I creep hard on impostors And switch styles on a dime quick-witted, y'all Quit trippin' I don't have time for your cryin' I grind tough, sucker make your mind up Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up? Bang-bang little monkey-man Playin' with the big guns only get you slain I ain't playin' I'm just sayin' you ain't got a sliver of a chance I get iller I deliver while you quiver in your pants So shake-shakedown money, here's the breakdown You can play the bank I'm a play the bank takedown And, no mistakes now, I'm comin' to get you I'm just a Banksy you're a Brainwash get the picture? It's like that

Primo: [Verse 1] Like shining oil this night is dripping down Night is dripping down, glistening And I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving now ‘Cause I’m leaving now, it’s time you let me go Let me go [Chorus] ‘Till then carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone give you away Just carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone take my place Take my place [Verse 2] This veil between us is getting thinner now Getting thinner now, bittersweet And 'cross that horizon this sun is setting down Slowly setting now, it’s time you let me go Let me go [Chorus] ‘Till then carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone give you away Just carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone take my place Take my place [Chorus 2] Just carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone give you away Just carry on, and miss me when I’m gone Oh, don’t let anyone take my place Take my place [Bridge] Tell them I couldn’t help myself And tell them I was alone Tell them I was the only one And there’s nothing that could stop me from going home Tell them I couldn’t help myself And tell them I was alone Oh, tell them I was the only one And there’s nothing that could stop me [Outro] From going home From going home From going home From going home Oh, tell them I was the only one And there’s nothing that could stop me From going home… Apaches: (It goes a-one, two, three...) I was born with the hunger of a lion, the strength of a sun I don't need to sweat it when a competition come Original style like an 808 drum So I don't run the track, no, I make the track run My mama taught me words, my daddy built rockets I put 'em both together, now show you what I got It's a pretty smart weapon, I can shoot it, I can drop it But learn to respect it, 'cause you clearly can't stop it Like that It ain't over, 'cause the shark's on the left side, the snake's on the right And anything you do, they wanna get a little bite It really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right 'Cause once they get their teeth in, nothing really fights And as for me, I do it like I got nothing to lose And you can run your mouth like you can try to fill my shoes But steady little soldier, I ain't standing next to you I'd be laying on the ground before you're even in my view Like that Foot Patrol: You don't give a damn about the blood and sweat that I spill to make it so I'm standing right here But you can bet your soul and your faith in God that I will not fold in the face of this fear 'Cause I won't be intimidated by you, pushed down or lied to, I'm not a fool or a punk And you can try to bruise me or break me, please don't mistake me See if I don't get my backup Now see if I don't get my backup It's something for you people on the block to black out and rock to Give you what you need like Poppa Who Shot Ya? Separate the weak from the obsolete You're meek I creep hard on impostors And switch styles on a dime quick-witted, y'all Quit trippin' I don't have time for your cryin' I grind tough, sucker make your mind up Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up? Bang-bang little monkey-man Playin' with the big guns only get you slain I ain't playin' I'm just sayin' you ain't got a sliver of a chance I get iller I deliver while you quiver in your pants So shake-shakedown money, here's the breakdown You can play the bank I'm a play the bank takedown And, no mistakes now, coming to get you I'm just a Banksy you're a Brainwash get the picture?

It's like that Three Band Terror: We swim against the rising waves and crash against the shore The body bends until it breaks The early morning sings no more We swim against the rising waves and crash against the shore The body bends until it breaks and sings again no more The winds have torn the flesh away The early morning sings no more (x2) 'Cause time has torn the flesh away The early morning sings no more I'll do the Beta State track later.
Here we go with Change (my best attempt)... Here I wait For the fighting to resolve <(I just know that's wrong) When I'm sinking in a ship I can't control And I'm sick With a smile I try to hide Broken pieces of a lie I can't let go I never meant to let you down again I had it all but watched it drown Why does every gripping have to end I've burnt every bridge before it began And now I'm sinking I changed a man I thought I'd never be I've burnt every bridge before it began I swear I'm going to change Here I wait Swimming in a sea of dark I'm lost in the current of my faults Here I sink Holding on with all I had The tide will rise, I'm going to always learn I never meant to let you down again I had it all but I watched it drown Why does every gripping have to end I've burnt every bridge before it began And now I'm sinking I've changed a man I thought I'd never be I've burnt every bridge before it begins I swear I'm going to change All I want to do is break free All I want to do is break free I never meant to let you down again I had it all but I watched it drown Why does every gripping have to end I've burnt every bridge before it began And now I'm sinking I've changed a man I thought I'd never be I've burnt every bridge before it begins I swear I'm going to change I swear I'm going to change (All I want to do is break free) (All I want to do is break free) I swear I'm going to change
I got a slightly different set of lyrics for "Change". This is the result. Please correct any changes. [Verse 1] here I wait for a good thing to resolve when I'm sinking in a ship I can't control And I'm sick with a smile I try to hide broken pieces of a lie I can't let go I never meant to let you down again I had it all but watched you drown [Chorus] why does every good thing have to end I burned every bridge, before it began and now I'm sinking I change a man I thought I'd never be I burned every bridge, before it began I swear I'm gonna change [Verse 2] Here I wait swimming in a sea of doubt I'm lost in the currents of my thoughts Here I sing holding on with all I have the tide will rise, I'm gonna own what's mine I never meant to let you down again I had it all, but watched you drown [Chorus] Why does every good thing have to end I burned every bridge, before it began and now I'm sinking I change a man I thought I'd never be I burned every bridge, before it began I swear I'm gonna change [Bridge] All I wanna do is break free All I wanna do is Break free I never meant to let you down again I had it all, but wathced you drown [Chorus] Why does every good thing have to end I burned every bridge, before it began and now I'm sinking I change a man I thought I'd never be I burned every bridge, before it began I swear I'm gonna change I swear I'm gonna change (All I wanna do it break free) All I wanna do is break free (I swear I'm gonna change)
Updated the OP the best I could. If you see a correction there, point it out. No need to write out the whole song unless the whole thing is wrong.
