Yo, I lace up my boots, step onto the field, But the hate in the stands, man, it feels too real. From the whistle to the final call, they scream and shout, Disrespect in their mouths, tryna shut us down, no doubt. But we play for the love, not the color of skin, We rise as one, let the game begin. Kicks on the turf, we all chase that dream, But some still judge us by the shade of our skin. Red card for the hate, yellow for the lies, We’re here for the game, no matter what they despise. They can talk all they want, but they’ll never break us, We’re united on this field, our hearts are contagious. Racism in the stands, but we rise above, Kicking the hate out, playing with love. On the pitch, we’re equal, no matter where we from, Color doesn't matter when we all play as one. Racism in the stands, but we rise above, Kicking the hate out, playing with love. On the pitch, we’re equal, no matter where we from, Together we shine, yeah, we all belong. From the streets of Rio to the heart of Milan, Football’s our language, we all got a plan. They see the talent, but they still throw the shade, Trying to dim the light, man, they want us to fade. But look at the team, we're diverse and strong, Our unity's the anthem, our hearts sing the song. Don't care if I’m black or brown, or any shade in between, On this field, we’re kings, we’re chasing that dream. It’s not about the hate, it's about the game we play, From Africa to Europe, we all got something to say. They try to hold us down, but we stand tall and proud, Breaking every barrier, we ain’t backing down. So let the world see, when we step in the light, We’re all human beings, together we fight. Racism in the stands, but we rise above, Kicking the hate out, playing with love. On the pitch, we’re equal, no matter where we from, Color doesn't matter when we all play as one. Racism in the stands, but we rise above, Kicking the hate out, playing with love. On the pitch, we’re equal, no matter where we from, Together we shine, yeah, we all belong. From the pitch to the streets, we demand respect, No room for hate, we’ll never forget. Racism’s a game that no one should play, Let’s keep pushing forward, change the world today.

**Title: Survivin’ the Shadows** *(Chorus)* Yeah, we ride through the darkness, friends takin' flight, Five times I cheated death, still I shine so bright. Warwick nights, livin’ life in the glow, Can’t bring me down, only make me grow. *(Verse 1)* Yo, we started in Warwick, memories like gold, Laughin' ‘til the sunrise, stories to be told. Late nights at the block, skatin’ down the street, Every corner brings a vision, every heartbeat a beat. My crew was tight, every moment we’d seize, Chillin’ at the park, just breezin’ in the breeze. But now I’m lookin’ back, feelin’ hearts lose the fight, Two homies gone too soon, candles burnin’ bright. *(Chorus)* Yeah, we ride through the darkness, friends takin' flight, Five times I cheated death, still I shine so bright. Warwick nights, livin’ life in the glow, Can’t bring me down, only make me grow. *(Verse 2)* Feelin’ heavy in my chest, but I still represent, Every laugh, every tear, all the love that’s spent. Five near brushes with fate, yet I’m still on my grind, Face to face with the reaper, but I’m one of a kind. Dodged the bullet once, twice, man, I’m livin’ proof, With my heart still beatin’, I’m raisin’ the roof. ‘Cause every fall brings a rise, elevatin’ my soul, A warrior in this life, and I’m takin’ control. *(Chorus)* Yeah, we ride through the darkness, friends takin' flight, Five times I cheated death, still I shine so bright. Warwick nights, livin’ life in the glow, Can’t bring me down, only make me grow. *(Bridge)* They say pain is a teacher, but I learned from the fire, In the ashes of my losses, I built my empire. Got my brothers in the sky, watchin’ over my soul, Every memory we made, man, they’re deep in my scroll. So I raise up my glass, toast to the days gone, With each laugh that we shared, their spirit lives on. *(Verse 3)* Now I’m standin' tall, got the weight of the past, But I’m movin’ toward the future, man, I’m built to last. Warwick nights in my heart, can’t let the fire die, With the stars in my view, I’m forever gon’ fly. On this journey of life, through the highs and the lows, With every step that I take, man, this strength only grows. *(Chorus)* Yeah, we ride through the darkness, friends takin' flight, Five times I cheated death, still I shine so bright. Warwick nights, livin’ life in the glow, Can’t bring me down, only make me grow. *(Outro)* So I hold tight to love, keep their names in my song, In the rhythm of remembrance, I know I’ll stay strong. With the spirit of my friends, I’m never alone, We’re forever united, in the beat, I’ve found home.

**Verse 1** I grew up in the struggle, where the shadows loom, Had to find my way, breaking out of that gloom. Heart of a lion, roar loud, never still, Chasing dreams relentless, climbin’ that hill. They say it’s all love, till buried in pain, Fighting through the storm, never bowed by the rain. Built from the ground up, a vision so clear, With each step I take, I’m conquering fear. Unity’s the answer, gotta bridge the gap, Rise up together, no time for the trap. In the game called life, I’m playing for keeps, Building my legacy, sowing faith in the streets. With every decision, I’m carving my path, The truth in my heart, can you feel my wrath? **Chorus** What's a light to the sky, When there ain't no dark Fight for what's mine I'm gonna make my mark Follow God's design, Stay true to my heart. Lives intertwined, all doling their part Love and loss, it's pleasure and pain What's the cost, can you measure the rain? So do what's right, stand for something Fight the good fight, sacrifice nothing Build your castle, brick by brick, Earn that cash flow, but not too quick. Keep your integrity, guard your lips 'Cos words have tendencies to sink ships, Destroy a legacy, life's a trip. Enjoy the ride, make an impact On someone's life, give something back And lose your pride, gotta stay humble. Don't ever hide, face that trouble. If there's a divide, between two groups, Pick a side, you have to choose Respect and honor, that's the code, Pray to our father, in case you go. If you find your queen, make her yours Follow your dreams, reach for the stars **Verse 2** I’m flipping the script, never lost in the haze, Found my purpose in the chaos, navigating the maze. Grind from the bottom, sweetness from the struggle, Life’s a puzzle, hey, I learned to solve it on the double. Staring at the mirror, who’s the one I see? Reflections of ambition, a warrior, that’s me. Keep the circle tight, trust is everything, From the ground up, see the empire we bring. Pockets may be light, but my spirit stays rich, Every setback’s a lesson, turning pain into pitch. Courage in my veins, heart fueled by hope, In this game of life, I’m never learning to cope. I rise for my people, for the ones who can’t stand, Together we’re a force, let’s unite, take a stand. Brick by brick, we building more than castles, When you find your squad, forget about the hassles. So lift your head high, and push through the strife, With love as my armor, I’m ready for life. **Chorus** What's a light to the sky, When there ain't no dark Fight for what's mine I'm gonna make my mark Follow God's design, Stay true to my heart. Lives intertwined, all doling their part Love and loss, it's pleasure and pain What's the cost, can you measure the rain? So do what's right, stand for something Fight the good fight, sacrifice nothing Build your castle, brick by brick,

**(Chorus)** I eschew the awakening, and I detest this tormenting strain And I harbor no desire to inflict on others, yet I doubt it will ever wane I eschew the awakening, and I abhor this anguishing pain And I harbor no desire to inflict on others, yet I doubt it will ever wane **(Verse #1)** Lately, I’ve been teetering on the precipice, perilously close to losing it These incessant thoughts tumult in my head, like a trigger, they pursue me Convinced that naught upon this earth can elucidate my despondency, I cease this charade Reluctantly extricating myself from slumber, masquerading a smile; this feels like folly This existence is but a facade, why do I inhabit this charade? Why do I don a grin, and conjure laughter while I languish inside? Ego’s a formidable force; I conceal my anguish, a relentless skirmish with pride So be not astonished when inquiries arise; I’ll feign that I’m just fine My life’s in disarray, enamored with perfection, yet I loathe this feeling inherent The scars etched into my essence since time immemorial seem irreparable I muse that a semblance of wealth could alleviate my torment; alas, I discern it will not A pervasive disdain for company lingers, ironically aware that I cannot **(Verse #2)** I’ve mourned too many companions to the abyss, their memories haunt my nights Whispers in the shadows, each flicker resuscitates their luminous light Five brush-offs from death’s embrace, as I cavort with fate’s cruel jest Yet divinity still orchestrates, awaiting in the empyrean’s rest I recapture vestiges of laughter; now it’s merely echoes of despair Sifting through the reveries, feeling intoxicated by this relentless rain Tears cascade like shrapnel, burdening my chest’s fragile frame But I wield their legacy, illuminating the path from this accursed shame At these bifurcated crossroads, endeavoring to dismantle the vicious cycle, Voices persist within, urging, “persevere, your essence is pivotal” Their visages flicker, illuminating my tumultuous journey With every inhalation, I am assured I’m living for more than mere survival **(Verse #3)** They proffer that the struggle is authentic, yet one cannot quantify the cost Every draught from this chalice serves as a reminder of the dearly lost But their spirits envelop me, like ethereal whispers at dawn’s break Transforming my grief to fortitude; this is the legacy I create Thus, I clutch my aspirations fervently, allowing my heart to commandeer When the shadows encroach upon me, it’s their radiance I revere Though the path is obstinate, every stride is a homage to their fight To the friends whom I interred, I pledge to perpetuate their light From the ashes, I ascend, akin to a phoenix engulfed in flames Transmuting anguish into purpose; I refuse to play the same games So I shall not permit their memory to diminish or become mere names I exist for a reason, and in their honor, I’ll embrace the pain

(Verse 1) ไอ้พวกโกงกิน มึงคิดยังไงกันวะ? งบมันหายไปไหน หรือว่ามึงซ่อนมันใต้พรมละ? เก้าอี้ทองคำที่มึงนั่งยังอุ่นดี ประชาชนแค่ขี้ฝุ่น โดนเหยียบย่ำทุกที เงินภาษีกูจ่าย มันหายไปไหนหมด ทำไมถนนพัง หรือต้องรอให้รถล้มหัวทิ่มตลอด? โรงพยาบาลที่ยังขาดของจะให้คนป่วยรอด แต่พวกมึงเสพสุขในวังหรูไม่ต้องไปอด (Chorus) พวกเราเสียงมันเล็ก แต่มันดังเป็นก้องฟ้า เพราะพวกกูเห็นความจริง ไม่ได้เล่นเป็นหนังบ้า ระบบขี้โกง พวกมึงใช้แต่คำปลอม กูแร็ปด่าจากใจ ปล่อยให้พวกเราเดินตอม (Verse 2) แจกของล่อใจ ก่อนจะได้เป็นใหญ่โต ทำเป็นพระผู้ช่วยเหลือ พอถึงเวลาพวกมึงหายโบ๋ เงินมันไหลเวียนในมือพวกบิ๊ก พวกข้าราชการ ประชาชนเหงื่อซึม ทุกหยดเพื่อพวกมึงสบายล้าน แล้วพอมีข่าวฉาว พวกมึงก็แค่ปิดปาก ตัดสัญญาณ ปล่อยเรื่องเงียบเหมือนไม่มีอะไรให้มาก ใครจะพูดความจริงบ้าง เดี๋ยวก็โดนไล่สั่ง แต่พวกกูจะไม่หยุด ตะโกนให้ดัง ทะลุทุกฝั่ง (Chorus) พวกเราเสียงมันเล็ก แต่มันดังเป็นก้องฟ้า เพราะพวกกูเห็นความจริง ไม่ได้เล่นเป็นหนังบ้า ระบบขี้โกง พวกมึงใช้แต่คำปลอม กูแร็ปด่าจากใจ ปล่อยให้พวกเราเดินตอม
