Liz Lea grind, coins in her hand, Flip that nickel, make it expand. Thrift store queen, budget the plan, Every penny counts, you understand? Liz Lea stackin’, no time to waste, Pinch that dollar, money in place. No bling needed, just a steady pace, Hustle so clean, never leave a trace. Quick with the math, sharp with the grind, Stretch that dollar, peace of mind. Leftovers flip, gourmet find, Rich in the soul, never confined. Liz Lea stackin’, no time to waste, Pinch that dollar, money in place. No bling needed, just a steady pace, Hustle so clean, never leave a trace.

[Verse] She's got a thousand worries a weight on her chest Kids crying out for hope an empty nest A new job calling whispers through the air She's tired but strong she can get there [Verse 2] Morning sun rises a glimmer of gold Life has been harsh but she's growing bold Pockets barely jingling hunger in their eyes Dreams still linger despite the cries [Chorus] Hold on tight darling it's a rough road Strength in your spirit let your heart explode New beginnings rise from ashes unseen Through the darkness grace and light convene [Verse 3] She walks those streets like she owns the world Head held high determination unfurled Battles she's fought every scar tells a tale Misery can't hold where courage prevails [Chorus] Hold on tight darling it's a rough road Strength in your spirit let your heart explode New beginnings rise from ashes unseen Through the darkness grace and light convene [Bridge] There's beauty in struggle if you look close Fire in her soul as she feels hope Mountains to climb valleys to tread She’s not just surviving she’s living instead

**Title: Amber's Glow** *(Verse 1)* In the shadows of house one-two-two, Where laughter dances and dreams break through, You stepped in like a sunrise, lighting up the room, With every heartbeat echoing, love began to bloom. *(Pre-Chorus)* We felt the warmth of your embrace, A rhythm that time cannot erase. Through storms and trials we stand so true, Amber, oh Amber, we're here for you. *(Chorus)* Amber, oh Amber, your love's a song we sing, Like a gentle breeze beneath our wings. When the night is heavy and hope feels few, Your light shines brighter—it's all thanks to you. *(Verse 2)* The path may twist like a winding road, But with you beside us, we share this load. Each step we take with hearts aligned; Together we're strong—love’s power defined. *(Pre-Chorus)* With every tear that falls like rain, We rise together through joy and pain. In every struggle there’s strength anew— Amber, dear Amber, we'll see it through. *(Chorus)* Amber, oh Amber, your love's a song we sing, Like a gentle breeze beneath our wings. When the night is heavy and hope feels few, Your light shines brighter—it's all thanks to you. *(Bridge)* So when doubts creep in and shadows grow long, Remember this crew is where you belong. With hands held tight under starlit skies, We'll chase down our dreams 'til they crystallize. *(Chorus)* Amber, oh Amber! Your love's a dance divine, Turning struggles to victories as our spirits entwine. When the world feels heavy and dreams feel far too few, Just look at your crew—we’ll always be with you! *(Outro)* Oh Amber! Your glow ignites our fight; In house one-two-two—you’ve made wrongs feel right. With hearts wide open and futures bright as dew— Together forever in this bond so true!

[Verse] City lights they blind my eyes Concrete jungle full of lies Walkin' streets that never sleep Dreams in alleys talk is cheap [Chorus] In this city where we clash Chasin' money in a flash Voices echo off the walls No one cares if someone falls [Bridge] Skyscrapers touch the sky We just tryna get by Caught in hustle day and night Strugglin' but we rise and fight [Verse 2] Every corner got a story Pain and glory inventory Buskers singin' for a dime Time gets swallowed lost in grime [Chorus] In this city where we clash Chasin' money in a flash Voices echo off the walls No one cares if someone falls [Verse 3] Grit and grind we pave our way Hustlin' through another day Dreams get built on broken glass Hopes reflect in subway pass

[Instrumental]

[Verse] City lights are dim tonight Raindrops dancing in the night I walk alone with shadows near Memories whisper in my ear [Verse 2] Street's a river Soul's the sea Drowning in my histories Old love letters Tossed away Floating down this foggy bay [Chorus] Rainy nights sing me a tune Lonely under crescent moon Heartbeat syncs to puddle's splash Dreams dissolve like morning's ash [Bridge] Neon signs They flicker slow Casting tales in a ghostly glow Unpolished stars don't shine so bright But they break through darkest night [Verse 3] Skyline fades Horizon's near Tracing paths through yesterday's tears Each raindrop tells a story new Washing pain in shades of blue [Chorus] Rainy nights sing me a tune Lonely under crescent moon Heartbeat syncs to puddle's splash Dreams dissolve like morning's ash

Intro : [soul] [Slow piano emotional strings]I look at the stars, see your face in the night,Every whisper, every laugh, I hold so tight.But now you're just a memory, a shadow in time,How do I keep loving you with these echoes of mine? [Voice quivers]I miss the way your eyes would light up my world,Now I'm left with echoes, my heart unfurled. Verse 1:[hip hop] In the darkness of my thoughts, I see your face,Like a beacon in the night, guiding me to grace.We used to talk about dreams, now they're just echoes,Of conversations lost in time, but the love, it grows. I'm walking through this maze of memories,Each turn, each twist, got me questioning my sanity.Was it all just a dream or was it real life?When you're gone, the silence cuts like a sharp knife. Chorus: Echoes in my mind, they keep me up at night,Thinking 'bout the days we had, now out of sight.More bars to think, more rhymes to reflect,On love, on loss, on what we might've missed. Verse 2: I'm scribbling down thoughts like they're going outta style,Trying to capture the essence, the vibe, the smile.Love was our melody, but now it's just a rhythm,A beat that's faded, but the feeling, it's still with 'em. Life's a puzzle, every piece is a moment we shared,Some are missing, but the picture's still there.I'm searching for the truth in the echoes of my heart,But all I find are questions, where do we start? Chorus: Echoes in my mind, they keep me up at night,Thinking 'bout the days we had, now out of sight.More bars to think, more rhymes to reflect,On love, on loss, on what we might've missed. Bridge: The beat slows down, but the mind keeps racing,Chasing after shadows of love, forever tracing.I'm a poet with no pen, a singer with no voice,But in these echoes, I find my choice. Verse 3: Now I'm standing at the crossroads of my past and now,Wondering if I’ll ever hear your laughter, how?The echo chamber of my life, it's loud but it's hollow,Trying to fill it up with words, but it's hard to follow. Every rhyme I spit is a piece of my soul,Trying to heal, trying to be whole.So here's to the echoes, to the memories we keep,In hip-hop, in silence, in the moments so deep. Chorus: Echoes in my mind, they keep me up at night,Thinking 'bout the days we had, now out of sight.More bars to think, more rhymes to reflect,On love, on loss, on what we might've missed.….…......…... Outro: [Beat fades out, leaving a lingering echo of the piano riff]So to the echoes, to the shadows, to the night,I give my words, my beats, my light.Keep thinking, keep rhyming, keep the love alive,In the echoes of mind, where we all survive..................………….………………..

(Verse 1) I was born with a hole in my heart, oh, Doctors said I’d need a brand new start, Little hands held me tight, but I felt that chill, In a house of shadows, I learned to stand still. (Chorus) Daughter of a narcissist, Everything was my fault, Searching for your love, But all I found was a vault. Why can’t you be proud? I’m drowning in your doubt, Just a girl in the dark, Trying to scream out loud. (Verse 2) ADHD, the struggle on repeat, You’d roll your eyes like I was just a defeat, Tomboy dreams, my hair chopped real short, But all you saw was a girl who fell out of your court. (Chorus) Daughter of a narcissist, Everything was my fault, Searching for your love, But all I found was a vault. Why can’t you be proud? I’m drowning in your doubt, Just a girl in the dark, Trying to scream out loud. (Bridge) I see my brother shining, my sister’s in the light, While I’m stuck in the shadows, can’t even win a fight. What did I do to make you hate me so? All I ever wanted was a chance to grow. (Verse 3) You twist my words, say it’s all on me, In this game of blame, I’m just a referee. Your love’s a masterpiece, but I’m the missing art, A canvas with a crack that’s breaking my heart. (Chorus) Daughter of a narcissist, Everything was my fault, Searching for your love, But all I found was a vault. Why can’t you be proud? I’m drowning in your doubt, Just a girl in the dark, Trying to scream out loud. (Outro) So here’s my truth, in verses and rhymes, I’ll find my own light, I’ll bloom with time. Daughter of a narcissist, yeah, I’ll break free, One day you’ll see the girl I was meant to be.

[Verse] If I do come back to you Will you love me like you used to do All the sparks and midnight talks Dancin' under city lights' glow [Verse 2] All the tears we used to cry Echoes of our laughter high Will you hold my hand once more Or leave me broken at your door [Chorus] Tell me now are we the same Or just players in this game Can we find our way somehow Or is our ship forever sailed [Verse 3] Memories of you and me Written in our history Can we turn the page tonight Find forever in our sight [Bridge] Every moment that we've lost All the dreams that came with cost Can we mend the shattered glass Or let the moments drift and pass [Chorus] Tell me now are we the same Or just players in this game Can we find our way somehow Or is our ship forever sailed

[Verse] Chillin' in the corner Drinks in hand (oo-yeah!) Dim lights flashin' We're feelin' grand Bassline bumpin' Can't stand still (oo-wee!) Feelin' that rhythm It's unreal [Verse 2] Sippin' on a cocktail Nice and smooth (hey hey!) Body swayin' Got nothin' to lose Laughter fills the air Joy all around We're lost in the moment Love the sound [Chorus] Groovin' on the dance floor Lights down low Feelin' the vibe Let your spirit flow Raise your glass Toast to the night Underneath the stars We're feelin' right (oo-yeah!) [Verse 3] Bartender smilin' Mixin' up delight Dancin' shoes on We take flight Hands in the air We shout "Alright!" Our souls are connected The mood's just right [Bridge] Call and response Hear the crowd (wooo!) Everyone join in Let's get loud Echoes of laughter Groove so sweet In this moment Life’s a treat [Chorus] Groovin' on the dance floor Lights down low Feelin' the vibe Let your spirit flow Raise your glass Toast to the night (ah-ha!) Underneath the stars We're feelin' right
