THE FALL

**Verse 1** They carved their vows in headlines bold, Eyes gleaming like cheap chrome, Promised roads where the roses grow— Now the asphalt’s cracked with bones. Schoolyards silent, factories rust, A town drowned in their hollow trust, *“We’ll lift you up!”*—the speechwriter’s hymn, While the soup-kitchen lines grow grim. **Chorus** Oh, the paper crowns bleed ink and scorn, Their palaces built on the unborn, Blood on the marble, dust on the poor— We’re the wreckage they ignore. Empty hands clutch phantom dreams, As their golden machines scream, *“Broken promises, borrowed time—* *We sell the air, we profit the crime.”* **Verse 2** They dance in suits stitched with our sighs, A masquerade of alibis, Pocket the sun, tax the rain, Turn our tears to a champagne chain. A child’s hunger pays their debt, While the newsreels chant, *“No regrets!”* They auction the dawn, lease the night— Freedom’s a candle they’ll never light. **Chorus** Oh, the paper crowns bleed ink and scorn, Their palaces built on the unborn, Blood on the marble, dust on the poor— We’re the wreckage they ignore. Empty hands clutch phantom dreams, As their golden machines scream, *“Broken promises, borrowed time—* *We sell the air, we profit the crime.”* **Bridge** *Do you hear it?* The whispers underground, A fist of roots breaking their hollow ground, Every lie they stacked to the sky, Now trembles—*watch their towers die*. The fire we are, they tried to smother, But ash breeds forests… *sisters, brothers*. **Outro** So let their crowns burn, let the vaults drown, We’ll plant new worlds where theirs fell down, For every soul they turned to coal— **We are the light that eats their throne.**

[Intro, Funk bassline, Snappy drums] (Oh, oh) Yeah, yeah, we got a little situation, Something funny going on, no hesitation, Yassy walks in, the room's in transformation, But wait, there's a little stinky revelation... [Verse 1] Yassy smells like farts, it’s no surprise, Everywhere she goes, there's a cloud in the skies, She laughs it off, we all try to deny, But you can’t hide it, it’s drifting by… (Whoo!) [Chorus] Yassy, oh, she smells like farts, Every single time she leaves, it breaks our hearts, But we love her still, she’s our favorite part, Oh, Yassy, yeah, she smells like farts! [Verse 2] She’s walking by, you feel the air shift, It’s got that funk, it’s a gift and a lift, But we all grin, ‘cause she’s our true friend, Even when the scent don’t seem to end! [Chorus] Yassy, oh, she smells like farts, Every single time she leaves, it breaks our hearts, But we love her still, she’s our favorite part, Oh, Yassy, yeah, she smells like farts! [Bridge] (Oh-oh, no, no) She don’t care, she’s just living her life, Bringing the funk like she’s rolling a dice, We all laugh, yeah, it’s our inside joke, Yassy, girl, you’re the queen of the smoke! [Chorus] Yassy, oh, she smells like farts, Every single time she leaves, it breaks our hearts, But we love her still, she’s our favorite part, Oh, Yassy, yeah, she smells like farts! [Outro] Yassy, Yassy, we love you so, Even when the wind starts to blow, Keep that funk, it’s your trademark glow, Yassy, girl, we’ll never let you go... (Whoo!)

**Title: "Reality of Light"** **Verse 1** In the quiet of the midnight hour, When the world forgets to breathe, Shadows dance like broken flowers, And the heart bends beneath. **Chorus** Oh, sadness is only a reality, Not the whole of who we are, A whisper in the symphony, A single fallen star. **Verse 2** But the dawn will crack the silence, With a light that’s soft and sheer, Every storm has its expiry, And the pain, it disappears. **Chorus** Oh, sadness is only a reality, Not the end of where we’ll go, A chapter in humanity, A scar that lets us grow. **Bridge** Hold on, the night’s a fleeting canvas, Where the brave reclaim their fire, From the ashes of our anguish, We soar—*higher, higher, higher*. **Instrumental Break** *(Melody swells, echoing hope)* **Outro** So let the tears carve rivers, But don’t drown in what they say, For sadness is a reality… And reality can *change*. **Final Chorus (Softened)** Oh, sadness is only a reality, But love’s the truest part, A heartbeat in the dark’s fragility— We’re stardust, meant to *spark*.

(Verse 1) Tall mountains touch the sky, stories whispered in the breeze Sun paints the temple gold, a monk chants peacefully Nature's peace, a calming sigh, where worries seem to cease (Chorus) Faraway tune, a gentle song, whispers of the past Flute sings secrets on the breeze, a timeless peace to last A hidden world, calm and slow, a place the soul can know (Verse 2) Pink flowers dance in spring, a fleeting, lovely sight Fish glide through still water, a graceful, silent flight Tea warms the soul within, a strength for day and night (Chorus) Faraway tune, a gentle song, whispers of the past Flute sings secrets on the breeze, a timeless peace to last A hidden world, calm and slow, a place the soul can know

[Verse] Ms Nutter rolls in with a heavy sway But her words fall flat like stale souffle Claims she’s the queen of every lane But strikes out swinging It’s pretty insane [Chorus] Roll her out like a bowling ball Crash and burn she’s got no thrall Pins are laughing standing tall Big talk small game that’s her call [Verse 2] She’s polished up but got no grip Takes the shot but her feet just slip Gutter-bound like a runaway train Sharp as a sphere dull as her reign [Chorus] Roll her out like a bowling ball Crash and burn she’s got no thrall Pins are laughing standing tall Big talk small game that’s her call [Bridge] Her strikes are dreams in the dark of night She throws shade but can’t hit it right A spare on her best days it's all the same The bowling alley of life ain't her game [Verse 3] Crying foul when the frame’s no good But the scoreboard don’t lie I think you should Take those tantrums and roll away Ms Nutter your act is passé

[Verse] في ليلنا وحكايانا سرّ الدفء الكامن أحلامنا تعلو معنا كطيف نور ساكن قلبي وقلبك يهتفان ما بين صمت وأغان يحكي النجوم لي حلمًا قديمًا بلسان [Verse 2] في عينيك عرفت سلامًا ضاع في صوت الرياح ضحكتك مثل الندى يسقي الحنين والجراح يا وهج روح لا يختفي أنت الصديق والحلم أنسج من أيامنا أغنية حبٍ وشم [Chorus] ليالي السهر تجمعنا على حلم ما قد كان تروي القمر عن عشقنا بينما يجري الزمان بين زرقة السماء وشغف القلب الدافئ نسطر في الغيم أغنيتنا بصوتٍ شفاف [Bridge] أوراق الحب تتساقط كرقصة خدود الزهر تجمعنا لحظات وتمضي كمعزوفة العمر وكأن الوقت معي توقف دون ندم أو خوف يا لصدى صوتك الحنون يجري بين الحرف [Verse 3] أسطورة نحن نحيا بين عتمة وضياء كأننا بين الأشواق قمر يعانق الماء نغني للحب حلمًا لا تسطره الروايات نحيا في دهشة النور وكل الصمت حياة [Outro] ليالي السهر تبقى معنا في كل دجى ومساء تكتب الأماني فوق الغيم بألف حرف ونداء نعود إلى نبض حب لا يشيخ مع السنين يا أنشودتي الخالدة يا حلم القلب الحزين

[Verse] Tate was cruisin' seas with gold in his hold Head high sails wide stories untold But the thunder cracked wild waves took their toll He stood at the helm like a man touched by soul [Chorus] Spin the wheel hold tight don’t let it go The storm’s got teeth and it’s stealing the show Grip your courage while the waters roar low Tate the sailor fighting fate's undertow [Verse 2] The cannons roared flames kissed the sky black Enemies loomed close no thought to turn back He laughed in their faces “You’ll not break my track” But danger grinned sharper and prepared its attack [Chorus] Spin the wheel hold tight don’t let it go The storm’s got teeth and it’s stealing the show Grip your courage while the waters roar low Tate the sailor fighting fate's undertow [Bridge] Deep in the chaos he whispered his vow “I won’t quit this journey not then and not now” The sea threw its demons but he didn't bow Through salt on his wounds he'd figure out how [Verse 3] With a flash came a gale that spun the ship round Deck cracking thunder the only sound But through all the wild out of loss was found Tate rose through the tempest his fury unbound

Title: Storm’s Gonna Pass (A Song for Queensland as Cyclone Alfred Approaches) Verse 1: Dark clouds are rolling, the wind starts to rise, Ocean waves roaring, fire in the skies. But we’ve seen the tempests, we’ve weathered the rain, Queensland stands strong, we’ll do it again. Pre-Chorus: Hold on tight, don’t lose your light, The storm will come, but we'll fight the night. Chorus: Storm’s gonna pass, winds gonna die, Sun’s gonna break through that heavy sky. We’ll stand together, no fear, no doubt, Queensland’s heart can’t be blown out. Verse 2: Sirens are wailing, the streets turn to sea, But hope is still burning in you and in me. Neighbors are knocking, hands reaching out, In times like these, love drowns the doubt. Pre-Chorus: Hold on tight, don’t lose your light, The storm will come, but we'll fight the night. Chorus: Storm’s gonna pass, winds gonna die, Sun’s gonna break through that heavy sky. We’ll stand together, no fear, no doubt, Queensland’s heart can’t be blown out. Bridge: Raindrops fall, but so do tears, Not of sorrow, but strength through years. We've seen the floods, we’ve felt the waves, And every time, we rise from the graves. Chorus (Final): Storm’s gonna pass, winds gonna die, Sun’s gonna break through that heavy sky. We’ll stand together, no fear, no doubt, Queensland’s heart can’t be blown out. Outro: So hold on tight, just close your eyes, When the winds are gone, we’ll see blue skies.

West Side, where the gangsters don't sleep, Old ladies and knicker lovers, the game run deep. (boomers 'n bloomers) (n word we good) Microwave dinner cooked well? Only time will tell. (frozen pizza yo 3 minutes to thaw) Glockavious, Draycoveon, Rugerrell. Smithavious. (Bro's named from types of guns) (most-hilarious) Woke up to sirens, another homie down, Yellow tape stretchin' all over the town. Mama prayin’ hard, but the rent still late, And the judge don’t care ‘bout no section eight. (whoo whoo) Draycoveon said keep the nine by the door, K-Sav got the chop, let ‘em know we want ohms for the poor. (Sesame Street mr. rogers' message:) (crackheads use copper filter it's chore like the glass rose things at the store If ya know ya know what all that's for everybody know about druggies filthy core) We survivin’ in the hood, where the strong don’t fold, Where fridge food gets mold, and the bodies turn cold. Keep a Glock in the stash, keep an eye on the trash, Ain’t no love where I’m from, just a lot of guns and a lot of cash. Roogarell in the cut, servin’ fiends at the park, Dezmo got the switch if they lurkin’ in the dark. Can’t trust no one, everybody want a plate, test yo fate. elaborate. hey! Same homie dappin’ up might set you up today. Shawty lost her man to a stray last week, (not a cat, a bullet) Lil’ homie doin’ time, he was only nineteen. No jobs, just weight, so we flip what we got, (mcdeez be hiring) Tryna make it out the block, but the block stay locked. (flipping burgers, not drugs like thugs) Streetlights flood the crowd’, but the noise too loud. Every corner got a lesson, white crackers wear fleece, (bean bag Betty) It’s a war zone daily, but we still find peace, In a bottle, a blunt, in a greasy butt crease. (the crease is getting greasy) Coke machine. She's a fiend. Coke machine. She's a fiend. Coke machine. She's a fiend. (fade out)
