Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said
I can't take back the words I never said
[Verse 2]
I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip?
9/11 building seven, did they really pull it?
And a bunch of other cover ups
Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts then wait, here comes the upper cut
The school was garbage in the first place
That's on the up and up
[Verse 3]
Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the upper crust
You get it then they move it, so you never keeping enough
If you turn on TV all you see is a bunch of what the fucks
Dude is dating so and so, blabbering 'bout such and such
And that ain't Jersey Shore, homie, that's the news
And these the same people supposed to be telling us the truth
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn't say shit
That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either
I'm apart of the problem, my problem is I'm peaceful
And I believe in the people, yeah
[Verse 4]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said
[Verse 5]
Now you can say it ain't our fault
If we never heard it
But if we know better than we probably deserve it
Jihad is not a holy war, where is that in the worship?
Murdering is not Islam
And you are not observant
And you are not a Muslim
Israel don't take my side, 'cause look how far you pushed them
Walk with me into the ghetto, this where all the Kush went
Complain about the liquor store, but what you drinking liquor for?
Complain about the gloom but, when did you pick a broom up?
Just listening to Pac ain't gon' make it stop
A rebel in your thoughts ain't gon' make it halt
If you don't become an actor, you will never be a factor
Pills with million side effects, take them when the pain's felt
Wash them down with diet soda, killing off your brain cells
Crooked banks around the world, would gladly give a loan today
So if you ever miss a payment, they can take your home away
[Verse 6]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said
Never said
I can't take back the words I never said
[Verse 7]
I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despise it
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I'm scared of even telling you
Sometimes I'm like the only person I feel safe to tell it to
I'm locked inside a cell in me, I know that there's a jail in you
Consider this your bailing out, so a take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through
[Verse 8]
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said
