follow the wave

[Verse 1] Upstairs through the ceiling it’s a circus of sound Every crackhead In town can’t escape it we’re bound Voices raised like sirens laughter cuts like a knife Living below the chaos disrupting our life [Chorus] Hey Gays up there can’t you just be quiet? We’re drowning in your madness why can you deny it? Living like queens in a haze of drugs You pull on our nerves – it’s a hell of a tug [Verse 2] Heroin and shouting the smell fills the air Every slam every crash I’m losing my flair It’s a party every night on your broken-down floor While we’re trapped without silence longing for more [Chorus] Hey you up there can’t you just be quiet? We’re drowning in your madness why can you deny it? Living like crackheads in a world that’s low You dance on our nerves – it’s a hell of a show [Bridge] Scratch the walls can’t take it every step is a quake What happened to peace? What a toll it can take We’re begging for silence for an echo of ease In the shadow of your laughter we fall to our knees On the rafters [Outro] So scream into the night “Please! overdose!” But we’ll find our own ways To ignore the gays Above us the tempest we’ll rise and outgrow Hey you up there—just wait till we go

When I see you smile, the world just fades, All my worries drift away like ocean waves. You’re my calm, my spark, my place to belong, In your arms is where my heart feels strong. I’d cross a thousand miles, face any fear, Just to keep you close, to have you near. You’re my sunrise, my endless view, Every beat in my chest is for you. ’Cause I love you more than words can say, More than every night, more than every day. You’re my dream, my heart, my light, The reason I hold on so tight. With every breath, with every line, I’ll love you till the end of time.

(Verse 1) Every day we excavate, we grade the land so straight, He compacts the soil, she pours the concrete late. We install the pipes, they asphalt the street, He demolishes the old, and she drains the water neat. (Chorus) We align the roads, he surveys the ground, She reinforces the bridges, they widen all around. We overlay the highways, he designs with care, She constructs the tunnels, we build everywhere. (Verse 2) The dump truck carries sand, the bulldozer clears the way, The excavator digs deep, the forklift lifts all day. The loader moves the earth, the grader levels ground, The crane truck lifts the beams, the cement mixer truck spins around. (Chorus) We align the roads, he surveys the ground, She reinforces the bridges, they widen all around. We overlay the highways, he designs with care, She constructs the tunnels, we build everywhere. (Bridge) With asphalt, concrete, sand, and steel, He uses cement and reinforced concrete to seal. We build the highways, streets, and tunnels too, Bridges and intersections, all for you. (Chorus) We align the roads, he surveys the ground, She reinforces the bridges, they widen all around. We overlay the highways, he designs with care, She constructs the tunnels, we build everywhere. (Chorus) We align the roads, he surveys the ground, She reinforces the bridges, they widen all around. We overlay the highways, he designs with care, She constructs the tunnels, we build everywhere. (Outro) Every day we work, every day we plan, To build the best infrastructure across the land. With machines and materials, we make it right, We build the future, day and night.

"I Don’t Need Nashville" Intro (Short instrumental, laid-back vibe) Verse 1 I don’t need Nashville to sing a song,Got a good tune rollin', and you to hum along.Don’t need no record deal or a spotlight high,‘Cause, girl, I’ve got you and a little AI.They say head south, where the big dreams run,But Hoboken’s enough for me when the day is done. Chorus I don’t need Nashville to feel alive,With you by my side, I can touch the sky.Got my own kinda tune, and a little AI,Free for us to just sing along.I don’t need Nashville to write this line,Got the whole world right here, and you’re all mine. Verse 2 I don’t need Nashville to make my name,The crowd will come when they hear this twang.Got your hand in mine, yeah, that’s my stage,We’re writing our story, page by page.They say the bright lights are where dreams belong,But, girl, I’m right here, in Jersey where I stand strong. Chorus I don’t need Nashville to feel alive,With you by my side, I can touch the sky.Got my own kinda tune, and a little AI, Free for us to just sing along.I don’t need Nashville to write this line,Got the whole world right here, and you’re all mine. Bridge I don’t need Nashville or a big guitar, To show that anyone can reach for the stars. Don’t need a crowd or a name in lights, AI's crafting our tunes to all new heights. It doesn’t take much, just a thought and a screen, And anyone can live out their dream. Final Chorus I don’t need Nashville to feel alive,With you by my side, I can touch the sky.Got my own kinda tune, and a little AI, It doesn’t take much, just a thought and a screen.You don’t need Nashville to be a king or queen,Just take some time and let your dreams shine. Outro (with a wink) But if this song somehow goes number one,Guess I’d tip my hat, take a Nashville trip, just for fun.‘Cause I love this land and that ol’ red, white, and blue—Nashville or not, it’s all thanks to you.

(Verse 1) Yo, the sky’s turnin’ dark like it’s ready to fight, Winds howl loud, and they cut through the night, Hurricane season, yeah, you know what's up, Gotta grab your crew, time to roll, time to huddle up. Storm surge risin’, like my hopes on the grind, Nature’s anger unleashed, you can’t rewind, Board up the windows, stock up the supplies, When the eye of the storm hits, it's no surprise. (Chorus) Hurricane hustle, yeah, we keep it real, Riding the tempest with that iron will, Got our feet steady, we ain't gonna sway, Through the storm and the struggle, we find a way. (Verse 2) Trees uprooted, but we stand tall, Resilience is the key, we ain’t gonna fall, Rain droppin’ heavy, but our spirits shine, We weather the chaos, like lemonade from lime. Evacuate the block, but the vibe don't fade, Neighbors helping neighbors, that’s how we laid, Catchin’ vibes in the shelter, sharing stories so bold, In the heart of the storm, we turn cups into gold. (Chorus) Hurricane hustle, yeah, we keep it real, Riding the tempest with that iron will, Got our feet steady, we ain't gonna sway, Through the storm and the struggle, we find a way. (Bridge) When the skies clear, and the sun hits the ground, We rebuild together, ain't no way to drown, Nature's fury can’t break our flow, In the aftermath, we embrace and we grow. (Outro) So next time the winds start to rise and swell, Remember this story, we weather it well, Hurricane hustle, we’re a force to see, In the chaos of life, we keep our unity.

Music 2 Verse 1 Woke up with the sunrise, chasing dreams with you, I guess that was right? But I still can’t think through Lost in the shadows, my own sacred space. Thoughts are racing, hearts embracing , what I can’t define, I just like you so much I wish you can be mine. Chorus Oh baby, It seems like you love me, I guess that wasn’t true, Not waiting for a sign, stepping out into the light, Finding strength within the fight I’ll be freeee, please tell me Verse 2 In the quiet moments, I hear my soul’s truth, Struggling to stay calm, trying to stay cool. In the chaos, I’m carving my sacred place, Searching through the shadows, yearning for some space. Finding peace in battles, I’m learning how to be brave, I’ll rise above the fear, no longer feeling caged. I’m breaking through the silence, letting go of the past. The weight is lifting, I’m breathing in the open air, No more hiding in the dark, I’m finally getting thereEEE AYÈAH. Chorus Oh baby, It seems like you love me, I guess that wasn’t true, Not waiting for a sign, stepping out into the light, Finding strength within the fight I’ll be free, PLEASE TELL ME

VERSE 1 I hear your voice like velvet whispers in my dreams Been lost in this echo while chasing moonbeams Your words paint rainbows on my midnight sky Seen your face in pictures but through distant eyes BRIDGE Your laughter's the sunshine piercing through my walls In this world of shadows where your image falls Every word you send me is my lifeline's call I will wait forever until he day we stand tall CHORUS I've loved you in colour and in shades of grey Your voice my compass guiding my every day Our hearts a symphony that words can't betray I'll keep loving you no matter how far away BRIDGE Your laughter's the sunshine piercing through my walls In this world of shadows where your image falls Every word you send me is my lifeline's call I will wait forever until he day we stand tall CHORUS I've loved you in colour and in shades of grey Your voice my compass guiding my every day Our hearts a symphony that words can't betray I'll keep loving you no matter how far away ENDING LINE ILL KEEP LOVING YOU NO MATTER HOW FAR AWAY

I tried to stop myself from falling in the deep abyss The only thing that grounds me is reminiscing about your kiss. Or how your eyes shine, how I want to make you mine. Really I’m just tryna be cool, I’m tryna give you time. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t made up my mind, cause when I look at you, I see that you are one of a kind You make me smile, and I haven’t felt this way in a while so I get nervous, but I think we crossed paths for a purpose It’s hard to tell you how I feel, sometimes I get too anxious, sometimes I write it all on paper just so I can practice You make me comfortable, make me wanna be vulnerable. You help me see the bright side, you make the darkness more tolerable I guess I wrote these words to be my confession, that what I feel is real, we can’t conceal this blatant connection Want your affection, attention, feel like you’re sent from the Heavens You give me answers to questions, even ones I didn’t mention Don’t really know where this is headed, but I’ve got good intentions I got some trauma got some baggage, and they full of lemons Let’s make some lemonade, you’d be the sugar I reckon your sweetness is a refreshment, your charm is like a confection, I’d follow your every word, you’d never hear no objections, and when you calling my name, that be my secret obsession. Wanna look deep in your eyes, admire your complexion Thanking God for his blessing, I prayed you’d come my direction. Seeking love not rejection, I just need real not perfection Praying one day that we’ll be each others most prized possession Cause in reality, I’m digging your sensuality, But insecurity runs deep, so I fear irrationally You prolly think that I’m lame, or probably don’t feel the same. But I gotta be true to myself, you set my heart ablaze. And i'm saying this with my chest, I’m not here to try to finesse, I don’t wanna add to your stress. wanna aid in all your success, anything you ask it’s a yes, my feelings I have professed, and I know that I’m not the best, or maybe you’re unimpressed but I’m ready to fall in love, I know God will handle the rest
