Written by Ryan Tilly, Dan Rose, Brian Smith and David Willard song on the radio, lost my rhythm and we can't even get a show bank accounts droppin', the hits keep floppin', MC Actions left town, while Cash Till stuck around I got this really bad feeling that I just can't shake i'm don't feel tired but i can't stay awake tryin' to be good for goodness sakes, but I can't stop thinking that we might get a break so I get baked. so, I'm here by myself, remembering the days of the CPR wealth being as bad as I want to be looking as good as I always do, spreading all the love and the girls legs too so stick around when the crew returns with a fresh new sound and a few pounds too, we'll bring you back to an old school sound makin' the show, with the rumble in the ground The book of new school has got a new chapter, if you're looking for a beat then we've got what you're after, We' ran out of luck doesn't seem to matter, so walk with us Underneath Ladders sick of being struck with the bad luck sunk in a rut just enough to get a buck bring on the corruption it's okay cuz i'm loving the attention, oh wait! did i forget to mention, we're still not messin' around,  with the sound to astound round for round so i'll pound all this doubt out of your mouth, with a one-two punch in a twelve round bout, no need to shout, we can hear ya just fine, i'm a novice I promise, i can't keep time, I'm bringin' the rhymes like a natural disaster, so walk with us.. underneath ladders here we go with the rude boy beat, trying our hardest to make you move your feet, just a bunch of hobos arrivin' at the go-go wanna see you there but it's just another no-show which one's smarter? the bum or the martyr? there may be no strings attached but life is always harder when you're dealt a bad hand and your shit outta luck no on there to lend a hand, or give a flying fuck, let's run amuck, and see where we are going, CPR is flowing but in vain it's always showin' the number thirteen and a broken looking glass, black cat crossed my path so i give it back to cash. <CHORUS> we need to take a break so we can assess the damage, smoke a cigarette and eat a sandwich, the plan which was put into effect is keepin' it real like Bela Fleck, so check out timing as i rhyme to my advantage I teaching spanish in my sleep I'm not quite sure why, i think it's too many BT's, with baked in a PI and by the way, when you roll that jay to smoke, it's two hits and then pass not toke, toke, toke, I can't smoke the green it makes me paranoid, void of all thought distraught and annoyed I'm unemployed so don't give me no guff, saving up my coin because enough is enough we'll i'm a chain-smokin', bucketbong tokin', out-spoken M.C. but my bank account's broken I taked ripped jeans to new extremes, in my dreams I own pants that aren't torn at the seams

Written by Dan Rose, Brian Smith, and Ryan Tilly well you know it really wasn't really always this way I can still remember those off-rhythm days But then I heard the thunder and I felt the earth move I dropped down and cried, "I'm a slave to the groove" I felt I'd been given a gift from above. Chill-out baby don't push and/or shove I ain't got nothing that I gotta prove I'm just a normal guy who's a slave to the groove set it up one-two, welcome to my little zoo back it up, three-four, dish it out a little more step inside, take off your coat, don't worry baby, i like to come all over the place I'm gonna take you on a ride you won't ever want to leave the crimestopper said, ooh it sounds sweet take my time then speed away make you sweat, drip, lick all day you know the get up kids? well I'm the get down kid I'm like zeus when i let loose i cover the grid I'm always in demand for what i'm able to do and for the record you can make the check payable to: M.C.A.C.T.I.O.N.

We're wearin' it down I'm tearin' it down, a new gunslinger in town, rap singer in town tryin' to figure out how the sound can sound so sweet when my lips start to move, slave to the groove.

Hit The Deck (free) 04:08
Hit the Deck ((written by Brian Neil Smith, Dave Willard and Ryan Tilly) your rap band broke up but i wouldn't call it tragic, cuz you say you got the mad flow, but all i hear is static, so let me on the mike so i can work a little magic, never sweat shit cuz my rhymes are automatic back the fuck up, and shut the fuck up, and don't say nothin' as i fuck your shit up, you can't stop frontin' can you? MC FIRE and there's nothing that i can't do, takin' this shit up to the next level about to explode like a boiling tea kettle, checkin' out my flow cuz they always want more, but they're is just no break when they're lined up at the door so you wanna know how i got my groove back, it's corporate america that's givin' me the greenbacks, so step right up, and dry those eyes up and take notice how i light this mic up always nickel and dimin' or fuckin' flossin' diamonds, the same ol' tired lyric, of bustin' out the hymens, throwin' 'em on the mantle like a trophy piece, the lies are livin' large, are passe', they've deceased everybody hit the deck, when the beat is thumpin', the bass is pumpin', the crowd is jumpin' everybody get down, let me tell ya'll something when we're on the mic you know we don't stop for nothing from the corner of the eye i see you sneakin' by I holler pack it up, and let my fists fly i feel it getting hotter in the pressure cooker cuz tillys got more hooks than johnny lee hooker, look out. it's only a matter of time before your singing our songs, so don't tell me how to rhyme when we're doin' it wrong, we jumped off the charts, yo! we didn't belong all you critics are cynics, c'mon bring it on. the taste of couvasier it makes me nauseated, trite mcs always sweatin' on how they're rated so drop all the fronts, facades, and all the show, and see if you can stand up to my pasty white flow <chorus>Fuckin- motherfuckin' shit son-of -a bitch, gotta get a girl or two to soothe my itch, cpr crew we're coming off without a hitch, i'm pickin' up stitches, must be the season of the witch it's hopeless all you think about is a dopefest, your pipe's got wonderful grafix, won't you know that it's smokeless, get your head out the clouds, back with me on the ground, with my tent revival crew i'll be making my rounds hold up crew, let us get on the same page i don't think i can cuz i'm caught in a rage, a sage is born, we gotta get on track, gotta prove it to the people that CPR is back, but i'm that way, i'm this way, musical dismay, so push play and crave the beats that we display, through you're speakers and into your home passin' through the airwaves and into your dome, let it sink in with the revolution tone, if we bottled our sweat we could sell it as cologne 'cash till, you soooo bad!'

Revolution's End (free) 03:48
Written by Ryan Tilly I'm changing up the tempo before i go solo, makin' the fresh-flow like the freshmaker Mentos, unorthodox beatbox, listen to the clock tock and tick, to this final sound of this acoustic rock bliss, don't wait for the day when the fat bass hits and makes all we create, disappear, get a new career, in the age when the message is made unclear, so tell your friends and tell your peers about CPR, rock superstars, get out of my dreams, get into my car and drive, i don't care where just far I'm set for life, stripper for a wife, silver plated tooth and a solid-gold mic, But i'd give it all back, when the time is right As i sit right here, it becomes quite clear, the revolution came and went, subsided, confided all the money is spent, the fire is out, the action is done, The screw is down tight it's time to call it a night, one last swan song would only seem right, it's all ended no more pretending, too many fools our lyrics offended, all this flawless but unintended I'm set for life, stripper for a wife, silver plated tooth and a solid-gold mic, But i'd give it all back, when the time is right hate to say that this is goodbye, it's been fun but it's been a long ride, many have tried but few survive, the time it takes to make a rhyme I'm set for life, stripper for a wife, silver plated tooth and a solid-gold mic, But i'd give it all back, when the time is right I'm never ever ever tempted by the ills of society, i'm known for my flow of notoriety, i'm keeping in real, i'm keeping it fresh, until the rest of the world is all out of breath, i'm set for life a stripper for a wife, silver plated tooth and a solid gold mic, but i'd give it all back.... when the time is right
