Slam Dunk Dreams

(Verso 1) Hoy despierto y me abrazo No hay prisas, voy a mi paso Cada error es mi maestro Cada sueño es mi pretexto (Pre-coro) No necesito más que mi voz Para cantarle a mi corazón Hoy elijo mi verdad Ser quien soy, sin disfraz (Coro) Soy mi hogar, mi luz, mi paz No me dejo nunca atrás En mi piel encuentro amor Soy mi fuego, soy mi sol (Verso 2) Ya no busco en otro lado Lo que en mí siempre ha estado Soy mi fuerza, soy mi guía Soy la luz en mis días (Puente) Si caigo, me vuelvo a levantar Con mis manos me vuelvo a sanar El amor que busqué en los demás Siempre en mí estuvo ya (Coro final) Soy mi hogar, mi luz, mi paz No me dejo nunca atrás En mi piel encuentro amor Soy mi fuego, soy mi sol (Outro) Hoy despierto y me abrazo… Soy mi hogar, soy mi lazo.

Velvet nights, the radio’s glow, Cassette tape spinning, let the rhythm flow. Drums hit soft like a lover’s sigh, Saxophone whispers under moonlit sky. Synthesizers hum like a secret dream, Bassline walking where the city gleams. A touch of Prince, a trace of Sting, Echoes of love in the songs we sing. Oh, neon echoes in the night, Slow jam groove, hearts take flight. From leather and lace to electric desire, 80’s love, like a burning fire. New wave shadows in the candlelight, A Stevie bassline keeps it locked in tight. Shoulder pads sharp, lips cherry red, MTV stars spinning in my head. Synthesizers hum like a secret dream, Michael’s moves, yeah, they set the scene. A touch of Hall, a trace of Oates, Loving you in these timeless notes. Oh, neon echoes in the night, Slow jam groove, hearts take flight. From leather and lace to electric desire, 80’s love, like a burning fire. Turn the dial, let’s fade away, Sade’s voice on a rainy day. No need to rush, no need to run, Just a saxophone under the setting sun. Neon echoes, forever play, In the heart of yesterday. Through synthesizers, love still gleams, A timeless pulse in midnight dreams.

[Verse] Yo let me take a minute gotta say this right You been my day-one my ride or die Through the highs and lows the laughs and the pain You stood by my side when the world went insane [Verse 2] When the lights went out and shadows grew long You held me steady kept me strong In the chaos you were my calm My breeze The one who never faltered when life brought me to my knees [Chorus] Ride or die through the fire and the rain Together we’re unbreakable every ounce of strain You’ve been my anchor when storms collide Forever you’ll remain my ride or die [Verse 3] Through cracked pavements and streets with no name We built a kingdom can’t nobody tame Every scar we carry tells a story in ink Never sinking because we always interlink [Bridge] No diamond no gold could match your worth You’re my treasure my constant since birth Even if the world crumbles into the sea Ride or die you’ll always be with me [Chorus] Ride or die through the fire and the rain Together we’re unbreakable every ounce of strain You’ve been my anchor when storms collide Forever you’ll remain my ride or die

Suscafe a gaming group awoken. Everbody,s mind somehow seems broken. Our two brain cells helping eachother getting another win. Which only leads to our next sin.

[Verse] Lettuce leaves are dancing free Jumpin’ wild like they’re carefree Tomato slices on parade All in the bowl A feast we’ve made [Verse 2] Crispy croutons coming through Crunching loud like they own the room Cucumber's cool A star in green Livin' fresh It’s the salad scene [Chorus] Toss it up Let the flavors fly Balsamic rain from a dressing sky Spin that fork Taste sensation calls Life is better with salads y’all [Verse 3] Carrots shredding funky beats Parmesan dust dancing sweet Spinach flexin' Popeye's vibe Healthy rhythm on the side [Bridge] Who needs fancy or overdone When your salad party’s just begun Olive oil glow A shiny coat Every bite A love note [Chorus] Toss it up Let the flavors fly Balsamic rain from a dressing sky Spin that fork Taste sensation calls Life is better with salads y’all

Miro al espejo y veo brillar A alguien que aprendió a volar Con cada herida, con cada error Me hice más fuerte, me hice mejor (Pre-coro) No necesito aprobación Ni un permiso pa' brillar Soy mi fuego, mi canción Mi razón para soñar (Coro) Me amo tal como soy Con mis luces y mi sombra voy No hay nadie como yo, y eso es un regalo Soy mi paz, mi amor sagrado (Verso 2) Ya no me pido perdón Por ser quien soy de corazón Cada cicatriz me cuenta Que mi historia es mi fortaleza (Puente) Bailo solo bajo la luna Abrazo mi alma con ternura No hay nada que cambiar en mí Soy suficiente, soy feliz (Coro final) Me amo tal como soy Con mis luces y mi sombra voy No hay nadie como yo, y eso es un regalo Soy mi paz, mi amor sagrado (Outro) Miro al espejo y veo brillar A alguien que aprendió a amar…

Pizza Party

A little bit of water in my life, A little bit of shelter to survive, A little bit of food so I stay strong, A little bit of sleep all night long! Basic needs, you know they come first, Without them, man, it only gets worse, Now let's move up to the next stage, Where safety keeps us out of the cage!

Verso 1: Desde que te conocí, supe que eras especial Una sonrisa que ilumina, un corazón que late con calma Nuestra amistad creció, y con ella, un sentimiento Que me hace querer estar cerca de ti, siempre Coro: Quiero algo más que amistad, algo que nos una Un cariño que nos haga sentir que estamos hechos el uno para el otro Quiero sentir tu calor, tu mirada, tu sonrisa Y saber que tú también quieres algo más Verso 2: Me encanta la forma en que me haces reír La manera en que me escuchas, cuando necesito hablar Nuestra conexión es fuerte, y yo siento que es real Y quiero explorar lo que podemos ser Coro: Quiero algo más que amistad, algo que nos una Un cariño que nos haga sentir que estamos hechos el uno para el otro Quiero sentir tu calor, tu mirada, tu sonrisa Y saber que tú también quieres algo más Puente: No sé si es el momento adecuado, o si es demasiado pronto Pero no puedo evitar sentir lo que siento Y espero que tú también lo sientas Coro: Quiero algo más que amistad, algo que nos una Un cariño que nos haga sentir que estamos hechos el uno para el otro Quiero sentir tu calor, tu mirada, tu sonrisa Y saber que tú también quieres algo más

At the end of the 19th century, the United States was expanding its global influence. The Spanish-American War in 1898 resulted in the U.S. gaining control of the Philippines, leading to a period of American colonization. Background of American Rule In 1898, the United States and Spain fought the Spanish-American War, largely due to U.S. interests in Cuba and tensions over Spanish colonial rule. The war quickly expanded to the Philippines, where the U.S. defeated the Spanish fleet in the Battle of Manila Bay May 1, 1898) The Treaty of Paris December 10, 1898 formally ended the war, with Spain ceding the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico to the United States for $20 million. While Cuba became a U.S. protectorate, the Philippines became a colony, despite Filipino resistance. The Philippine-American War 1899–1902 Filipinos, under Emilio Aguinaldo, had declared independence on June 12, 1898, believing the U.S. would recognize their sovereignty.

The Commonwealth Period 1935–1946 In preparation for independence, the U.S. established the Commonwealth of the Philippines in 1935, with Manuel Quezon as the first president. The government implemented economic and military reforms, but independence was delayed by World War II.

[Verse] You dropped my heart on the kitchen floor Like broken glass I can’t ignore A million pieces they cut right through Can’t figure out how to move without you [Verse 2] What’s left of love is a hollow shell An empty echo in a wishing well The clock keeps ticking but the time feels slow In the land of goodbye where we don’t grow [Chorus] Oh You tore my heart in two Left me hanging on a thread too blue Every word you said still lingers Yeah it’s true But maybe pain's just love’s tattoo [Verse 3] Your shadow lingers in the morning light Like a ghost that haunts my soul at night I try to shake it but it pulls me back A runaway train off the memory track [Bridge] I’m learning to breathe in the after-storm The cold feels sharper where it once was warm But if healing’s slow then I’ll take my time I’ll build a new life line by line [Chorus] Oh You tore my heart in two Left me hanging on a thread too blue Every word you said still lingers Yeah it’s true But maybe pain's just love’s tattoo

[Verse] Shadows creeping where the heat make you freeze, Lungs full of smoke while the world’s on its knees, White powder trails like broken dreams in a maze, Eyes bloodshot staring through a toxic haze. [Chorus] Drugstore romance, blackouts on replay, Spinning in the spiral, can’t tell night from the day, Lips tasting vodka, hearts stuck in decay, Climbing up the thrill high, hope it don’t betray. [Verse 2] Plastic bag whispers, talk of the forbidden, Truth buried deep, dirt under rules unwritten, Grey clouds hanging, menthol kisses so bitten, Chased by a rush, every scream feels hidden. [Bridge] Needle’s poetry, writes lines on the skin, Drowning in the bottle, can’t tell where I begin, Smoke signals rising while the air feels thin, Trap doors keep closing, won’t let the dark win. [Chorus] Drugstore romance, blackouts on replay, Spinning in the spiral, can’t tell night from the day, Lips tasting vodka, hearts stuck in decay, Climbing up the thrill high, hope it don’t betray. [Verse 3] Hotel ceiling cracks look like faded maps, Chasing beats that echo through machine claps, Kisses laced with danger, caught in the trap, This ain’t forever, but tonight we collapse.
