Habesha Flame

(Verse 1) Yo, check the mic, one two, this ain't no nursery rhyme Walkin' down the street, same damn concrete grime But hold up, wait a sec, somethin' ain't quite kosher Pigeons doin' the tango, under a neon poster Streetlights hummin' opera, bass so deep it shakes My shoes start tap-dancin', for f***'s sake! A grandma on a scooter, racin' a damn snail This ain't a dream, I'm wide awake, feel the surreal trail. (Chorus) Sidewalk symphony, playin' in my head Everyday absurdities, ain't no time for bed The mundane's gettin' funky, the normal's gone astray Sidewalk symphony, what a f***in' beautiful day! (Verse 2) A fire hydrant's preachin', 'bout the flow of time, man Squirrels are holdin' meetings, scribblin' with a tiny hand My coffee cup's levitatin', spillin' java in the air A mime is breakdancin', without a single care Old newspapers whisper secrets, in a language unknown My phone's ringin' backwards, a distorted ringtone This city's a circus, a cosmic f***in' show Where the ordinary's twisted, and the weird starts to grow. (Chorus) Sidewalk symphony, playin' in my head Everyday absurdities, ain't no time for bed The mundane's gettin' funky, the normal's gone astray Sidewalk symphony, what a f***in' beautiful day! (Bridge) Is it me, or is it real? This question I can't define Lost in the rhythm, of this strange paradigm Maybe the world's just quirky, a little bit askew Or maybe I'm just trippin', on somethin' brand new, goddamn. (Verse 3) The crosswalk stripes are zebra print, the buildings wear hats A dog is walkin' a human, that's where it's at, no sht The air is filled with laughter, a joyous, strange sound Even the garbage cans are gettin' down, gettin' down! I join the parade, dancin' with the freaks and geeks No more questions, just vibin', shoutin' out for weeks This crazy sidewalk symphony, it's got me in its sway Embracin' the weirdness, every single f**in' day. (Outro) Yeah, sidewalk symphony, that's my jam, motherfer A little bit of crazy, makes me who I am. Word the f up.

[Intro] (Soft krar strings fade into a muted trumpet groove) Yo, Lyrik Blaze in the buildin’… Addis heart, Brooklyn soul—ain’t no replacin’… This one’s for the lovers in the trenches… Light a blunt, let it simmer… [Verse 1] Yo, I’m Lyrik Blaze, raised in two worlds collidin’, Eighteen, touchin’ JFK, left Amharic for the sirens. Brooklyn nights, cold as hell, but waizero kept me warm, Met shorty at the bodega—coffee, cream, Ethiopian charm. She said, “Salam, habibi, why your eyes so heavy?” I said, “Girl, I’m from Addis—love’s a war, I’m never ready.” But her smile? Coptic gold, got me speakin’ in tongues, She said, “F*** the past, Blaze—let’s write a new sirat.” [Pre-Chorus] She’s my Brooklyn gursha—sweet, but she’ll cut you quick, Got her nails done at Fulton, but her soul’s Addis thick. Slow whine to the rhythm, her hips like eskista, Lyrik Blaze, man—I’m hooked, no resista’. [Chorus] Habesha love, Brooklyn nights— She’s my bered in the struggle, my wrongs turned right. Lyrik Blaze, yeah, I’m torn between two lands, But her kiss? Holy water mixed with street demands. Habesha love, we bend, never break, From the mercato to Bed-Stuy, man, this love’s our stake. [Verse 2] She’s got scars like taxis, stories in her stride, Lil’ rebel with a gold cross, saints on her side. We argue in Amharic, f*** in Brooklyn slang, Her moans sound like prayers—Egziabher, I’m sank. She said, “Blaze, why you always gotta rap ’bout pain? Let’s turn this trauma into champagne.” Now we sip t’ej in Crown Heights, smoke haze on the roof, Her laugh’s my anthem—truth, dawg, I’m off the stoop. [Pre-Chorus] She’s my Brooklyn gursha—sweet, but she’ll cut you quick, Got her nails done at Fulton, but her soul’s Addis thick. Slow whine to the rhythm, her hips like eskista, Lyrik Blaze, man—I’m hooked, no resista’. [Chorus] Habesha love, Brooklyn nights— She’s my bered in the struggle, my wrongs turned right. Lyrik Blaze, yeah, I’m torn between two lands, But her kiss? Holy water mixed with street demands. Habesha love, we bend, never break, From the mercato to Bed-Stuy, man, this love’s our stake. [Bridge] Yo, we fight like hyenas, f*** like we’re cursed, But when the cops roll by, she’s the shield to my burst. She said, “Blaze, if we die, let’s die in this rain— Addis stars in your eyes, Brooklyn blood in my veins.” I’m a sinner, she’s my Mary—ain’t no church in this dirt, But her love’s the injera that soaks up the hurt. [Outro] (Krar strums, beat fades) Lyrik Blaze… signin’ off… Habesha love, no cap— She’s my war, my peace, my Ethiopian map… One love, two worlds, slow burn… (Whispers in Amharic) Fikirey… fikirey… (My love… my love…) (Siren wails in the distance)

Verse 1 The quiet intensity of the practice room, the intricate steps unfolding like a whispered story. Shin, your movements precise and fluid, a testament to years of dedication. I was your audience, your confidante, your biggest fan, cheering you on through every rehearsal, every performance, every perfectly placed foot. Those days, a delicate dance of shared dreams and quiet understanding, now feel like a distant memory. Verse 2 The weight of goodbye, a silent promise carried on the wind. Shin, my heart ached with every mile that separated us, a sacrifice I willingly made for your dreams, for your bright future. Two years felt like a lifetime, the distance vast and deep, yet my love, a constant beacon, unwavering support I would always provide. Chorus My love surrounds you, a gentle embrace, A quiet strength, a comforting space. My heart beats steadily, a steady drum, My love's a promise, always to come. Verse 3 The distance felt like a lonely war, unseen, unheard, a silent struggle across the miles. Shin, my words often fell short, causing unintentional hurt. My love, a lifeline, sometimes frail, yet a constant hope amidst the challenges. Verse 4 I pushed through hardship, day by day, overcoming obstacles, always believing in you, Shin. My love is a steadfast vow, a commitment to help you achieve your dreams. Your hopes are my mission, bright and bold, I'll fight for your success with all my strength. Our future waits, a promised land, a journey we'll share, side by side. Refrain Hold on, strength you will find, Wait patiently, peace of mind. Be strong, be brave, through trials you'll see, My love's a shelter, always for thee. Chorus My love surrounds you, a gentle embrace, A quiet strength, a comforting space. My heart beats steadily, a steady drum, My love's a promise, always to come.

[Verse] Midnight in the city the streets come alive Neon lights flashing money in overdrive From the ground up to the dizzy sky high Got big dreams parked in the driveway [Verse 2] Graffiti tells stories on the brick wall Echoes of hustle in the night call Pulse of the beats bouncing down the hall Gotta keep moving can't ever stall [Chorus] Lights are bright and the minds race Chasing moments always out of place In the city's maze at breakneck pace Keep grinding like it's life's last chase [Verse 3] From the gutter to the penthouse suite Heartbeats sync with the rhythm of the street In the crossroads where dreamers meet Rising tempers and the blistering heat [Bridge] City's heartbeat under the moon's glow Every alleyway got its own show Lost in the echoes that time will bestow In the city's shadows we all flow [Chorus] Lights are bright and the minds race Chasing moments always out of place In the city's maze at breakneck pace Keep grinding like it's life's last chase

[Verse 1] Hey… I was raised on daisy chains and lemonade sunshine, She kissed my scars ‘fore I knew love could flatline. Now I’m sippin’ champagne tears in a gold-plated haze, Drownin’ our lullabies in bourbon nights, THC fog phase. Damn. Strippers shimmy like her shadow—twistin’ my regrets, “Baby, you’re a star,” but these ones? They don’t wear no regrets. Cocaine confessions, Paris in my veins (ooh), She left me Jesus in a ziplock—still can’t feel the pain. [Pre-Chorus] Ohhh, sweet Mary Jane, wrap me in your ember, Her memory’s a slow-burn—I’m just ash in December. Diamond-dusted lies, these hotel sheets don’t lie, But your ghost? It fucks me raw ‘til the sun cracks the sky. [Chorus] Velvet skies, neon sins, I’m a junkie for the ache, Porsche tears on sunset boulevard—how much can a heart break? Stripper heels click like the clock we used to chase, Childhood love’s a dirty high—I can’t quit your face. [Verse 2] Uh… Prostitutes in peacock feathers laugh at my disease, They call it “therapy”—I call it payin’ to not feel free. Her name? A syringe in every liquor store neon, I fuck the void raw, but it’s her moans I’m hearin’. Shit. Rolex wounds, time don’t heal—just ticks like a blade, Pop a Xanny, let the Tesla autopilot my mistakes. She’s the Acid Rain on my rose-tinted youth, Now I’m trading ”forever” for a VIP booth. [Bridge] Ooh, can’t you see? I’m just a wine-stained letter lost in her perfume, Every blunt’s a desperate prayer to outrun the moon. Her laughter’s in the crystal clink, the coke lines too clean, I’m a billionaire of broken—rich off a love unseen. [Chorus] Velvet skies, neon sins, I’m a junkie for the ache, Porsche tears on sunset boulevard—how much can a heart break? Stripper heels click like the clock we used to chase, Childhood love’s a dirty high—I can’t quit your face. [Outro] Hey… Burn the photo albums, let the ashes spark a blunt, Our “happily ever after”? Baby, it’s a fucking stunt. I’ll see you in the strobe lights, where the angels snort their wings, We’re all just broken hippies—dancin’ while the siren sings.

Verse 1 (Hippie-Rap Flow): Kaleidoscope dreams, I’m drippin’ in Gucci green, Purple haze in my veins, champagne in my spleen. Gold-leaf spliffs, every hit’s a fuckin’ wake-up, Private jet cypher, cloud nine’s my break-up. Sippin’ Saintly sins, Louis XIII on my lips, Stripper-shine diamonds, hips sway, cash rips. Weed smoke halo, soul glitchin’ like vinyl, Rich man’s hippie, cashmere rebel, no final. Chorus (Soul Melody): Rollin’ in the green, sippin’ on the gold, Velvet vice, paradise, never gettin’ old. Neon queens, whiskey streams, we fuck the night, Saint or sinner, burn slow—eternal light. Verse 2 (Sultry Rap): Prosecco pros, hips slow-mo in the glow, Stripper saints with painted sins, hell’s payroll. “Bless me, father,” she whispers, cash confess, Cognac kisses, Miss Mary’s got me blessed. High-class junkie, Rolex ticks like a drum, Silk sheets, street sweets—love’s a loaded gun. Moët waterfalls, her curves write the Psalms, Liquor-laced sermons, we dance where God damned. Bridge (Psychedelic Soul): Is this heaven? Or a hole? Smoke rings sing to my soul. Silk and sin, tangled threads, Ferrari reds, beds of regret. Saint or sinner? Lost control— Velvet vices feed my soul. Verse 3 (Gritty Flow): Jack Daniels baptize, stripper heels crucify, Porsche 911, speedin’ through the sky. Hookers in haute couture, karma’s a cheap date, Liquor store liturgy, sin’s on the plate. Puff, pass, cash stacks—holy trinity, “Amen,” she moans, body my divinity. Broken halo, still glowin’ like the moon, Burn the script, life’s a blunt—draggin’ soon. Outro (Fading Soul Ad-Libs): Rollin’… rollin’… (green to gold…) Velvet… neon… (never get old…) Whisper… saint… (fade to smoke…) (Hums) Mmm, eternal light…

[Verse] I've been here I've been there I've been alive Thank you for asking yeah I'm still alive Life's a river flowing wild and wide I've been swimming with the current and the rising tide [Chorus] Hold my head up high ain't no time to cry Through the stormy weather I keep reachin' for the sky You can knock me down but I'll always rise Stronger than before like a phoenix flys [Verse 2] Dreams were shattered like a jar of glass Picking up the pieces never let it pass Heart wide open feeling every beat Living in the moment ain't that bittersweet [Chorus] Hold my head up high ain't no time to cry Through the stormy weather I keep reachin' for the sky You can knock me down but I'll always rise Stronger than before like a phoenix flys [Bridge] Troubles come and go just like the wind Every end’s a start a new chapter again Find the strength within it's always there In this wild journey I'm beyond repair [Chorus] Hold my head up high ain't no time to cry Through the stormy weather I keep reachin' for the sky You can knock me down but I'll always rise Stronger than before like a phoenix flys

Damn, just got paid yo, hope on the bank, let the money flow

[Verse] I met you on a crowded street Your smile lit up the concrete Magic words we both repeat Two hearts dancing to the beat [Verse 2] Whispers in the midnight air City lights they stare and glare Holding hands without a care I knew right then I'd always be there [Chorus] Heartbeat in the city night Love's a rhythm feeling right Stay with me till morning light Together we can ignite [Verse 3] Walking through the alley ways Moonlight guides our secret maze Every touch a sweet praise We got a love that never fades [Bridge] Through the noise and all the scenes You and I we're kings and queens Living life in dreams unseen True love in the in-betweens [Chorus] Heartbeat in the city night Love's a rhythm feeling right Stay with me till morning light Together we can ignite
