Memories Fade

[Verse] Morning whispers in the dark Your shadow lingers in the park Footsteps where you used to roam Now I face this world alone [Verse 2] Cold winds blow across my face In your eyes I found my place Now the silence fills my dreams Lost in echoes of your screams [Chorus] Bound by shadows you’ve left behind Lost in memories I can't find Every night I chase the pain In this never-ending rain [Verse 3] Tears and laughter ghosts of you Faded pictures what we knew In the corners of my mind Fragments of a love confined [Bridge] All our promises laid bare Empty words float through the air In the silence I remain Tangled up in endless rain [Chorus] Bound by shadows you’ve left behind Lost in memories I can't find Every night I chase the pain In this never-ending rain

Instance after instance Grace without taste We’ve been looking for answers all over this place In the quiet of night we will burst into flame See them cower in virtue but it’s just for fame Feel intimidation, the light in your face The interrogation is not worth the chase To be interrupted, to feel insecure Through fall-outs and failing’s the pressures endured Polite, so sit tight, and finance the bill Violent discourse mounts past the hill Their cadence is soothing so don’t be afraid We close our eyes, then the memories fade When we’re anxious for rations, we repeat our actions These matches made ashes that deterred the masses Gun cashes with fascists who cause market crashes But they won’t be afraid They close their eyes and the memories fade Silence is guidance It’s bleak but I’m meek You look forward to years, I hold onto the week Feel heat on your skin from the sun shining through The fabric was thin, but you already knew I don’t have an answer so I ask myself What should be in focus, what stays on the shelf Anger is easy, patience is a bitch You could grin it, and bear it or just scratch the itch Not a doctor or poet, not a very good cook But have pretty good eyesight and know where to look Night is hours away, so babe don’t be afraid We close our eyes, then the memories fade When we’re anxious for rations, we repeat our actions These matches made ashes that deterred the masses Gun cashes with fascists who cause market crashes But they won’t be afraid They close their eyes and the memories fade

[Verse 1] Sunset on the stoop, smoke curls like cursive, Sneakers scuff these streets where the struggle surfaces. Pocket full of dreams, but the rent’s a burglar— Momma’s prayers still echo: “Boy, don’t let ‘em murder ya.” East Coast winters, cold hands, warm ambition, Rhymes scribbled on napkins, my soul’s ammunition. From Queensbridge shadows to Brooklyn’s bright lights, Every scar’s a chapter, every dawn a rewrite. [Chorus] We rise slow, grind slower, heartbeats sync to the sample, Life’s a jazz loop—pain and joy, no example. Good livin’ ain’t given, it’s built in the scramble, Concrete lullabies, where the hustle and hope ramble. [Verse 2] Corner store prophets preach in loose change, Taxi horns harmonize with the subway’s refrain. Grandpop’s ghost in my Walkman, cracklin’ through the static, “Survive the madness, but keep your soul cinematic.” I wear my city like a leather jacket— Faded, torn at the edges, but still I rock it. Every “NO” just fuel, every “YES” a trophy, We bloom in the cracks, where the pavement’s lonely. [Bridge] (Piano riff drips like August rain…) This life’s a chessboard, we pawns turned kings, Checkmate the doubt with the truth that we bring. The grind’s a love song, the struggle’s the chorus, From project windows, we watch the horizon for us. [Chorus] We rise slow, grind slower, heartbeats sync to the sample, Life’s a jazz loop—pain and joy, no example. Good livin’ ain’t given, it’s built in the scramble, Concrete lullabies, where the hustle and hope ramble. [Outro] (Beat drops to a muted trumpet & vinyl crackle…) Yeah… Aim’s to live smooth, even when the blocks rough, Find heaven in the little things—’cause the world’s enough. Head nod to the OGs, their wisdom in my stride,* East Coast heartbeat… forever in my side.*

(Verse 1) Met a girl named Betty, she was wild and free, Livin' life on the edge, no apologies. She had a reputation, for her love of choice, In a world full of noise, she found her voice. (Chorus) Abortion Betty, she's a force to be reckoned with, Livin' life on her terms, no regrets or myths. She's got a heart of gold and a mind of steel, Abortion Betty, she's the real deal. (Verse 2) She walks into the clinic with her head held high, No shame or guilt, just a twinkle in her eye. She's made her decision and she's stickin' to it, Abortion Betty, she's not afraid to do it. (Chorus) Abortion Betty, she's a force to be reckoned with, Livin' life on her terms, no regrets or myths. She's got a heart of gold and a mind of steel, Abortion Betty, she's the real deal. (Bridge) Some might judge her for her choices and ways, But Betty's not concerned with what anyone says. She's livin' life on her own terms and that's enough for me, Abortion Betty is my hero in this world full of hypocrisy. (Chorus) Abortion Betty she's a force to be reckoned with Livin’ life on her terms no regrets or myths She’s got a heart of gold and mind of steel Abortion Betty she’s the real deal (Outro) So if you ever meet Abortion Betty give her my regards For she’s livin’ proof that women can be strong as cards In this world where choices are often hard to make Betty stands tall as an example we should all take

In the streets of Ohio, gorilla with rizz, Skibidi moves, phonk beats, that's how we live. Baby Gronk, low taper fade, can't resist, Aura shining bright, in the winter we exist. Grimace shake, mango skies, the biggest bird, Sigma vibes, galaxy, let's spread the word. Dekubopdopnem, locked in, never blurred, Geeked and alien king Von, unheard. AJ and Big Justice, bringing the boom, Costco guys in the back, memes fill the room. Beta Gigachad, looxmaxing to the tomb, Jamaican smiles, Egyptian sleep, no gloom. Buying property in Egypt, dreams come true, Chopped chin with LeBron, smurf cat too. Bing chilling, one two, buckle my shoe, I HAVE NOTHING but this rap for you. Grimace shake, mango skies, the biggest bird, Sigma vibes, galaxy, let's spread the word. Dekubopdopnem, locked in, never blurred, Geeked and alien king Von, unheard. Gooning in the galaxy, ninja style, Massive meme, let's go wild. Through the winter arc, with alpha pride, Ohio streets, where legends collide.

[Verse] You call it madness I call it flair With frozen veins I just don't care I'm the thunder in the silent night Cold hearted genius pure delight [Verse 2] Watch me closely I'm a twisted maze Unpredictable through every phase Brains are weapons sharper than a sword I am fire but you will never get bored [Chorus] Heart of ice mind of steel Play with fire see how you feel Genius madness who can tell In my labyrinth you'll dwell [Verse 3] Turn the tables like a twisted game Every move I make ain't the same Chill in my eyes like a frosty air Break the mold if you dare [Bridge] You thought you knew me think again I'm a riddle with no end Underneath the cool veneer You'll find chaos never fear [Chorus] Heart of ice mind of steel Play with fire see how you feel Genius madness who can tell In my labyrinth you'll dwell

--And she said-- "Why don't you just kill me" --And I said-- "Cuz you're just, another human being" "just, another strand of life" "just, another element," "that fills the puzzle of life" "and just, so you know love," --this ain't your place in it--.
