[Verse] Barely 16, just a faded silhouette Living life fragile, a candle barely lit Winds blew heavy, left me swaying like the trees Weak knees buckle, coughing through the breeze [Bridge] One stormy night, the cosmos went to chatter Lightning kissed my veins, molecules in scatter Static crackling, heart pounding like a drum Gifted with power, but it weighed a ton [Chorus] Strength in my palm, but it ain’t just flex Responsibilities circle, tight ropes ’round necks Power don’t equate to rhyme nor respect It’s a chessboard now, I protect, I reflect [Verse 2] Now the bullies shake seeing sparks ignite No longer the target, I became the bite But it’s deeper than the street fights at dead nights Old weak me whispers, he dims in fright [Bridge] Mom said son, power’s a double-edge knife Blessing or a curse, it changes your life Started saving days, wearing burdens like chains Supercharged heart, but my soul remains stained [Chorus] Strength in my palm, but it ain’t just flex Responsibilities circle, tight ropes ’round necks Power don’t equate to rhyme nor respect It’s a chessboard now, I protect, I reflect

U tišini sobe, gdje sjene pričaju, Sjećanja se vraćaju, boli vječno igraju. Djetinjstvo izgubljeno, bez nježnog dodira, U domu bez ljubavi, gdje su suze plod mira. Tijelo mi je nosilo ožiljke, svaka rana priča, Tukli su me noću, dok su zvijezde tiho svijetlile. Nikad nisam odrastao uz tatu, bez vođenja ruke, Ne znam šta znači biti voljen, u obitelji gdje nema sreće. U tom svijetu tame, tražio sam izlaz, Sreću u drogi, u društvu gdje je sve blizu. Crna ovca obitelji, u kutu sjene stojim, Dok se smijeh drugih čuje, ja se u tišini borim. Odrastao sam u getu, među zidovima srušenim, Svaka ulica, svaka sjena, priča je neispričana. U okruženju boli, naučio sam preživjeti, U vrtlogu života, kako ne odustati. Ali unatoč svemu, srce još uvijek kuca, U potrazi za svjetlom, gdje nova nada dolazi. Možda ću jednog dana, pronaći svoj put, Osvojiti vlastite bitke, i pobjeći iz tminu. Jer unatoč svemu, ja sam ja, ne dam se slomiti, U srcu nosim snagu, da opet mogu voljeti. I za sve one koji pate, čujem njihov glas, U ovoj pjesmi, svaka suza, svaki korak, ostavlja trag.
No canto da rua, um velho a andar, Olhos cansados, sombrios a vagar, Sem emprego, a vida é só solidão, Migalhas de pão, tentando apagar a dor do coração. (refrão) Implorando remédios, sem ter o que buscar, A fé num Deus que parece rir do nosso chorar, Velhos que andam a pé, perdidos na escuridão, Nesse mundo de dor, onde tudo é ilusão. (verso 2) Na poluição, os sonhos vão se afogar, A violência grita, difícil de suportar, A mentira do ser humano se faz presente, Na corrida sem fim, a esperança ausente. (refrão) Implorando remédios, sem ter o que buscar, A fé num Deus que parece rir do nosso chorar, Velhos que andam a pé, perdidos na escuridão, Nesse mundo de dor, onde tudo é ilusão. (ponte) E a vida passa, como sombra no chão, Sem rumo certo, sem uma direção, Mas no olhar sincero, há uma chama a brilhar, Uma força que insiste em não se apagar. (refrão) Implorando remédios, sem ter o que buscar, A fé num Deus que parece rir do nosso chorar, Velhos que andam a pé, perdidos na escuridão, Nesse mundo de dor, onde tudo é ilusão. (final) Mas ainda assim, lutamos, é nossa condição, Entre migalhas e lágrimas, buscamos a razão, Num ciclo sombrio, a esperança vai ressurgir, Pois mesmo na dor, ainda podemos sorrir.
[Verse] Sunrise painted in the brown of your iris, Heartbeats drumming to melodies timeless. Dusty roads carry your scent in the breeze, Barefoot whispers, your love puts me at ease. [Chorus] Ubuhle bakho, shines brighter than the dawn, Your spirit's the rhythm every soul leans upon. A queen with a crown carved from whispers of rain, In your arms I find peace, release from the pain. [Verse 2] Gold chains mimic the warmth of your glow, Language of love only you seem to know. Kente wraps your laugh, woven with grace, My compass, your smile – it’s pointing my way. [Bridge] Even the baobab bows when you walk near, Harmonies rise just from hearing you appear. Rain dances envy how your hips sway, You make the stars question their own display. [Verse 3] Drums on the horizon, call to the tribe, Your heartbeat syncs, giving me life. Red earth beneath echoes stories we claim, Together we dance, two flames in one frame. [Chorus] Ubuhle bakho, shines brighter than the dawn, Your spirit's the rhythm every soul leans upon. A queen with a crown carved from whispers of rain, In your arms I find peace, release from the pain.

Back in the day, we ran so wild, Young and reckless, hearts like fire. Late-night walks in hometown streets, Never thought time would move this fast on me. But here we stand, a little gray, Laugh lines show the price we paid. Through every turn, through every sin, Still got your back, still got that grin. Now we’re brothers in our 40s, still standing tall, We’ve seen some wins, we’ve had some falls. Life keeps changing, but one thing’s true, No matter what, I’ve got you. Built our lives, got scars to show, Lessons learned, still room to grow. Kids and work, responsibilities stack high, But some things money just can’t buy. Through the years, through thick and thin, We’ve lost some, but we still stand. No road too long, no dream too late, Still got time to celebrate. Now we’re brothers in our 40s, still standing tall, We’ve seen some wins, we’ve had some falls. Life keeps changing, but one thing’s true, No matter what, I’ve got you. (Love my brother) You are better at golf ya better boast. Just like folks knowledge to make bread toast. Here’s to the days still yet to come, Ain’t slowing down, we’re not done. (no need for booze to have fun) Brothers in our 40s, the story goes on, Still laughing, still strong. Through every high, through every low, Side by side, we’ll always go. (happy birthday to my bro) 44 is the new 23. Love ya brother forever. Forever more. Until I'm unable to. Happy 44 My bro is getting older Houston aint getting colder. Happy birthday Miho (Forty Four) Halfway to sanity. 88 Miles Per Hour To the past, to the future, to now.
[Verse] Hazy nights, neon glow, whiskey's my cologne, Dartin' through these streets where the devil makes his home. Pocket filled with dreams, empty wallet, gold tone. Chasin' after glory but I'm walkin' all alone. [Chorus] Feelin' like a cowboy, truth be my saddle, Life’s a wild beast, every day’s a battle. Silver chain swingin', heartbeat packs metal, Ride into the storm, let these shadows settle. [Verse 2] Spilled thoughts pour like liquor on the tile, Tongue sharp wit, razor blade smile. Sunset drips, bleedin' out for a while, But I'm still here, fueled by heartbreak style. [Bridge] Mirror cracked, reflect the chaos in my blood, Flooded veins pump lightning, born of mud. Turn pain to platinum, turn ash into buds, I’m the phoenix climbin' back from the flood. [Chorus] Feelin' like a cowboy, truth be my saddle, Life’s a wild beast, every day’s a battle. Silver chain swingin', heartbeat packs metal, Ride into the storm, let these shadows settle. [Verse 3] Echoes of a past life haunt my step's tread, Had to bury hopes deep, skeletons in my head. Every scar on my soul, words I never said, Yet the path I walk glows where the fearless bled.
