Escaping the Shadows

[Verse] In a world so noisy can't hear my own name Legs don't work right feels like life's a cruel game Hands like to tremble thoughts trapped in my veins Outsider glances cutting through like sharp chains [Verse 2] Wheelchair rolling slow through streets in the rain Mind wants to fly but body's got its own chains Doctors with their words acting like they're saints Talking therapies watching all our pains [Chorus] Unbound by your stares gonna rise up high Gonna break every limit reach up to the sky My soul's a warrior in a body that's tired I'm unbound I'm fighting with a spirit that's wired [Verse 3] Hearing whispers doubts behind my back Telling me what I can't like life is just so black But in my heart beats a rhythm that won't crack Gonna roll right by with passion on my track [Verse 4] Schools weren't easy got battle scars learned Friends that faded their patience quickly burned But every night in dreams my fire's returned In a sky of struggle stars brightly learned [Bridge] Blinded by their pity they can't see my light Got the strength inside me to face another fight In a world that's heavy I hold my sword tight Unbound and ready to burst into flight

It's hard to live in a world that's so cold Where the pressure to succeed is all we're told We're expected to be strong, to never show fear But sometimes it's too much, and we can't hold back the tears Suicide in young men, it's a growing trend We need to talk about it, we need to make amends We need to reach out, to those who are in pain And let them know, they're not alone in this game It's okay to ask for help, it's okay to feel weak It's okay to admit, that you're not at your peak We need to break the stigma, that surrounds mental health And show young men, that it's okay to ask for help Suicide in young men, it's a growing trend We need to talk about it, we need to make amends We need to reach out, to those who are in pain And let them know, they're not alone in this game We need to create a world, where young men can thrive Where they can be themselves, and not just survive We need to show them, that they're valued and loved And that their life, is a gift from above Suicide in young men, it's a growing trend We need to talk about it, we need to make amends We need to reach out, to those who are in pain And let them know, they're not alone in this game

The world's got somethin' going on, Why’s Kim Jung makin’ bombs, while peace is gone? Putin shootin’ civilians, no shame in his game, While leaders point fingers, just shiftin' the blame. Climate’s burnin’, ice caps meltin’ down, Voices in the streets, but they silence the sound. Greed in the air, choking hope from the youth, Tell me, who’s gonna step up and fight for the truth? We’re all contributors to the state of decay, Ignorin’ all the signs as the skies turn gray. Change starts with us, can’t just sit and delay, Time to flip the script, there’s no better day. Oil spills in the seas, forests cut like it’s free, They profit off destruction, ain't no justice for trees. Screens show the chaos, but we scroll and forget, While the rich stack chips, drownin' us in debt. But I still got hope in the hands of the crowd, Young minds thinkin’ big, speakin’ truth out loud. It’s a fight for survival, gotta rewrite the code, Build a better tomorrow, lighten up the load. So stand tall, be the change, break outta the norm, We’re the storm in the calm, the rebels reborn. The world’s got somethin’ going on, we can’t look away, It’s our move to make, let’s start today.

Slope I’m on my way, I’m comin’ Don’t, don’t lose faith in me I know you’ve all waitin’ I know you’ve been prayin’ I don’t show Slope, Slope 30 years I’ve been teaching this class And they’ve said i’m the reason we’re stagnant 30 years they’ve been claiming their honest And promising progress, well, where’s it at? I don’t want them to feel like their a failure (failure) I know this hurts But i gave them a chance to deliver Now it’s my turn Don’t get me wrong, Class, you’ve got a great run But it’s time to give the class somethin’ different So without further ado I’d Like to introduce my (new topic, new topic, new topic, new topic, new topic, new topic, new topic) Slope Y=mx+b (+b) The only equation for slope that you need, (you need) M = the distance from two points, (points) From the line otherwise known as slope, (slope) Probably wondering what the B is, (Okay) Y=mx+b (+b) The only equation for slope that you need, (you need) B = the the y intercept, (intercept) The point on the y line is, (is) Also called the y intercept, (intercept) It’s a line that’ll take a chance on Something people thought would never happen It’s a line that can go through any point on the x and y grid It’s when something either grows and gets bigger Or when something shrinks and gets smaller ‘Cause it’d rather do somethin’ that it really loves or take the pay cut If it’s riding up on it’s way to glory Positive and sometimes it feels kind of boring If it’s falling down on a hill it would feel Shameful and negative like the bottom of a heel If it’s a horizontal line it’s just like 0 fun If it’s vertical It’s undefined and also not a number 1 So class believe in yourself when no one else does, It’s amazing What a little bit of faith can do if you don’t even believe in you Why would you think or expect anyone else that’s around you to If you did things that you regret If you said things that you take back This is like slope the negative slope is how your feeling about that If you spent years of your life holdin' on to things you should've kept, full of liking Years of your life carryin' a lot of baggage that you shouldn’t walked away from This slope would be positive if you weren’t lookin’ for some validation Rhymin’ bout a life tryna fill the void, pretending I was solvin’ They get it Mental pain’s a necessary evil For solving math problems, yes, but beneficial Some would say having a math breakdown is a negative thing Which on one hand, I agree with On the other hand, it was the push I needed To get help and start the solving process, see If I'd have never hit rock bottom Would I be the person that I am today? I don't believe so I’m a prime example of what happens when you choose to not accept defeat and face homework Took me thirty years to realize that if you want to get the opportunity To be the greatest version of yourself Sometimes you gotta be someone you're not to hear the voice of reason Getting F will make you really take a step back and look in the

[Verse] City lights flicker, life's a bitter liquor, Boys on the corner movin' quicker, finger on the trigger. Dream chasin', heart racin', purse snatchin', Dodgin' Johnny Law while the cash keeps stackin'. [Verse 2] Brick walls echo, sirens hummin' low, Graffiti tales, whispered secrets 'bout the dough. Homies lost souls, trappin' in the night, Street codes written, under dim streetlights. [Chorus] Concrete jungle, where dreams crumble, Hustle hard, and never stumble. Survivin' the grind, every day a battle, Ride the wave, avoidin' the gavel. [Verse 3] On the stoop, old heads preach knowledge, Street smarts learned, skipped the college. Shorty's dreams faded, mama's tears dried, In the alley, life's forced to collide. [Verse 4] Evictions posted, keep it movin', Hope feels far, but we keep improvin'. Grinding for the fam, paper chasin' fame, Street archives, play a ruthless game. [Bridge] Frail hopes, thick smoke, city scope, Lost dreams in the haze, we elope. Street heroes, hood tales underline, Survive today, tomorrow we shine.

[Verse 1] Nigdy nie jest za późno, żeby myślom dać muzyki Jeśli chcesz być wysłuchany zaryzykuj, może się uda. [Chorus] Pozwól mi Cię pocałować, a pochwalę się w piekle, że przez chwilę byłem w niebie. Nie mów, że Ci zależy tylko pokaż mi swoją zazdrość, chcę to czuć naprawdę [Verse 2] Mama pokazała jak być twardym z miękkim sercem, choć czasem serce pali, a umysł chciałby się mylić. Myślałem że jestem odporny na hipnozę, ale przegrałem z Twoimi oczami i ciałem co zabiły rozsądek. [Bridge] To był stan jak po używkach, oczy mnie otępiały a ciało sprawiało, że cały świat zniknął. Chodź ze mną, ucieknijmy życiu choć raz, bawmy się jakby to był ostatni dzień. Jakby nie było jutra [Chorus] Pozwól mi Cię pocałować, a pochwalę się w piekle, że przez chwilę byłem w niebie. Nie mów, że Ci zależy, tylko pokaż mi swoją zazdrość – chcę to czuć naprawdę. [Outro] Ucieknij ze mną i poszukajmy innego świata, gdzie każda chwila będzie nasza.

Verse 1: I gave you all my love, I let you in, But you walked away, like it was never real. Now I'm left here, broken on the floor, Trying to pick up pieces of what we were before. Chorus: You said forever, but forever didn’t stay, Now I’m lost in a world where you’ve gone away. I’m holding onto shadows, still haunted by your touch, I thought I had it all, but I never had enough. Verse 2: The silence screams louder than your goodbye, I’m drowning in memories, I still wonder why. You left me here with a heart full of tears, Trying to move on, but you're still so near. Chorus: You said forever, but forever didn’t stay, Now I’m lost in a world where you’ve gone away. I’m holding onto shadows, still haunted by your touch, I thought I had it all, but I never had enough. Bridge: I thought I was strong, but you tore me apart, Now I'm walking around with a broken heart. I can’t escape the ghosts of what we were, And I’m still waiting for the love you couldn’t return. Chorus: You said forever, but forever didn’t stay, Now I’m lost in a world where you’ve gone away. I’m holding onto shadows, still haunted by your touch, I thought I had it all, but I never had enough.

I’m tired of this underpaid life, Chasing dreams I can’t ignite. A job that keeps me locked in place, Caught in a loop I can’t erase. Head down, I’m just clockin’ in, Same old story, it never begins. Dreamin’ of freedom, a life far away, But I’m chained to the ground , day after day. In this room, I’m losing my fire, No spark left to take me higher. Minimum wage—it’s all I know, Tired of crawling, moving too slow. I see the stars with their easy rise, But I’m stuck here, chasing the skies. Caught in a loop, just spinning 'round, Fighting for a life I haven’t found. No motivation to keep me alive, I’m waiting for a reason to survive. How do I move when I’m out of gas? Why does greed keep holding me back? Why can’t we all just live in peace? I’m not asking much—just the basic needs. Every day’s the same old way, Running in circles, I’m losing my say. Scrolling through pages, it’s hard to see, Why some have it all and there’s none for me. It’s just a race to see who can take, Instead of a way to see who can save. I want a purpose, not to be a slave, Let me live my life, let me pave my way. I’m stuck here, moving at my slow speed, While the world keeps running on greed. Giving my all to those who don’t need, Why can’t you be you, and I’ll be me? But I guess the truth is plain to see, You take more—there’s no harmony. I see the stars with their easy rise, But I’m stuck here, chasing the skies. Caught in a loop, just spinning 'round, Fighting for a life I haven’t found. No motivation to keep me alive, I’m waiting for a reason to survive. Trapped and tired, I need escape, Somewhere with a livable wage. I see success on every page, Small dreamers rising, living their stage. What’s the secret? I want to learn, The key to a life that I can earn. Where do I start? Where do I go? I’m burnt out, but I still know— It’s just a race to see who can take, Instead of a way to see who can save. I want a purpose, not to be a slave, Let me live my life, let me pave my way. What should I do? I’m done with dreaming, Sick of watching while others are scheming. It’s time to break free, time to rise, To find my rhythm and reclaim the skies. Let me have purpose, not just survive, I want to live, not just stay alive.
