Banned Cowboy: The Ballad of Gorillazrockstar

[Verse 1] Well, Bill rolls in with his glasses on tight, Talkin' 'bout viruses like he saw the fight. He ain't no doc, but he's playin' the part, Throwin' around big words, tryin' to look smart. [Chorus] Oh, Mr. Know-It-All, sittin' high on that hill, Thinkin' he's a savior with a loaded pill. You can code a computer, but let me be clear, You ain't no healer, so get outta here. [Verse 2] He says, "Trust me, folks, I know what to do," But last I checked, he got rich off a blue screen too. Medicine ain't Microsoft, it's blood, sweat, and tears, Leave it to the real docs who've been at it for years. [Chorus] Oh, Mr. Know-It-All, sittin' high on that hill, Thinkin' he's a savior with a loaded pill. You can code a computer, but let me be clear, You ain't no healer, so get outta here. [Bridge] Now, I’ll give him his due, he’s smart, that’s true, But a stethoscope don't hang 'round his crew. Stick to your spreadsheets, your stock market games, And leave the hospital halls for real names. [Verse 3] He’s got no white coat, no steady hands, Just a PowerPoint graph and a bundle of plans. The world don't need another billionaire's guess, We need somethin' better than a rich man's mess.

[Verse] Storm clouds rise over the fight Shadows clash in the dead of night Hands weave seals fast as a flame Blood and purpose it’s all a game [Chorus] Run like fire race with the wind Chasing dreams where it all begins Scream your name to the endless sky A ninja’s path we live we die [Verse] Lonely child heart burning loud Carrying weight under that shroud Dreams to be more than a shadow cast Break the chains don’t live in the past [Chorus] Run like fire race with the wind Chasing dreams where it all begins Scream your name to the endless sky A ninja’s path we live we die [Bridge] Broken hearts and cursed fate Hatred fuels but love won’t wait Clashing sparks the world’s on edge Steel and spirit written pledge [Chorus] Run like fire race with the wind Chasing dreams where it all begins Scream your name to the endless sky A ninja’s path we live we die

[Verse] Woke up with the weight of the world A heart that's tired but still unfurled Every step is a step to take For a cause that's bigger than mistakes [Pre-Chorus] It's not glory it's not fame It's the fire that feeds the flame A sacrifice we’ve yet to name Standing tall through every shame [Chorus] Duty’s flame will never die Burning fierce beneath the sky With every breath we’ll hold it high In the dark we’re the battle cry [Verse 2] Hands are calloused scars run deep Dreams we buried promises to keep Through the storm when hope feels thin The smallest spark still burns within [Chorus] Duty’s flame will never die Burning fierce beneath the sky With every breath we’ll hold it high In the dark we’re the battle cry [Bridge] From ashes rise from shadows crawl We find our strength against it all When the night surrounds we bring the light Marching onward ready to ignite

[Verse] You tore my heart and watched it bleed A wildfire sparked by your greed Your lies were knives that cut me deep Now I’m the storm you couldn’t keep [Chorus] Your empty words they fade like smoke Promises They’re quick to choke I’m screaming loud I won’t kneel This broken heart’s starting to heal [Verse 2] You slammed the door but it won't close The ghost of us The pain still grows I’m done with shadows creeping near Turning my heartbreak into fear [Chorus] Your empty words they fade like smoke Promises They’re quick to choke I’m screaming loud I won’t kneel This broken heart’s starting to heal [Bridge] Every echo begs for revenge But this ends here I won't pretend Your poison’s burned my veins enough I’ll rise above your toxic love [Chorus] Your empty words they fade like smoke Promises They’re quick to choke I’m screaming loud I won’t kneel This broken heart’s starting to heal

[Verse] Born in the dark where the whispers play They molded my soul like a ball of clay A shadowed blade was all I'd see No one to love no one to be [Chorus] Now I rise through the flames so hot A warrior forged from what was forgot The cracks in my heart now gleam so bright I am the shadow that owns the night [Verse 2] Once I had dreams of a peaceful land But they broke that dream with their calloused hand Honor was lost when they turned away The Samurai in me began to decay [Bridge] They called me a monster they left me to stray Now the monster within has come out to play No noble cause no master to serve I'll teach them the pain they richly deserve [Chorus] Now I rise through the flames so hot A warrior forged from what was forgot The cracks in my heart now gleam so bright I am the shadow that owns the night [Verse 3] Let them tremble let them fear For Tashiba's reign is finally here A past in shatters a future grim I’m no hero and shadowed I’ll swim

[Instrumental]

[Verse] There’s a candle in the storm's embrace Flickering bold yet it keeps its place Shadows twist but it dances free A blue flame burning endlessly [Verse 2] Winds howl sharp and the night is long But the flame hums its defiant song Ashes rise but they scatter away This blue-lit heart will never sway [Chorus] Oh burn brighter oh burn true Through the chaos the world threw No surrender no giving in A blue flame fights it's born to win [Verse 3] Underneath skies dark and cruel Standing tall breaking every rule It bends it leans but never falls A spark of hope when the darkness calls [Bridge] Even when the cold whispers loud Even when doubt gathers a crowd The flame won’t bow it won’t retreat A rebel’s light no defeat [Chorus] Oh burn brighter oh burn true Through the chaos the world threw No surrender no giving in A blue flame fights it's born to win

"Smokin' cigarettes, a hazardous fate Tar and nicotine, a deadly weight Lung cancer looms, and heart disease too Smokin' cigarettes, what are you gonna do? Breathin' trouble, and a cough that's tight Smokin' cigarettes, day and night Emphysema's grasp, and a life that's worn Smokin' cigarettes, a fatal form Got a craving, that you can't ignore But the risks are high, and the costs are more Quit the habit, before it's too late Smokin' cigarettes, don't participate!

I saw forever in your blue sky eyes, but you never looked my way I held on to every sweet "maybe," but "maybe" don’t ever stay Built a home inside your shadow, gave you love that you won’t miss But love ain’t love if it’s lonely, and I can’t live like this Every smile was a battle, every touch cut too deep I gave you all of my heart, but you never gave it back to me So I’m lettin’ go of you, though it’s breakin’ me in two I thought you were my forever, but forever ain’t with you I lost myself in the wantin’, now I need to find me too So I’m walkin’ through this fire, leavin’ all my love with you I stayed up countin’ the memories, while you were sleepin’ just fine Guess I was the only fool who thought you’d ever be mine Love should hold you, love should heal you, love should never feel this cold And I can’t keep holdin’ on to a hand that won’t hold Every word left unspoken, every dream left to die I kept on beggin’ for love, but you never even tried So I’m lettin’ go of you, though it’s breakin’ me in two I thought you were my forever, but forever ain’t with you I lost myself in the wantin’, now I need to find me too So I’m walkin’ through this fire, leavin’ all my love with you I won’t hate you, I won’t blame you, you just weren’t meant to stay But I’ll love myself enough now, to finally walk away Every step feels like dyin’, but I know I’ll be alright The sun is slowly risin’, and I’ll learn to love the light So I’m lettin’ go of you, though it’s breakin’ me in two I thought you were my forever, but forever ain’t with you I lost myself in the wantin’, now I need to find me too So I’m walkin’ through this fire, leavin’ all my love with you GOD, I LOVED YOUUUU—BUT I’M LETTIN’ YOU GOOOO!!!

It started with a spark, a glance, a fleeting smile, Thought I found my truth, but I was lost in denial. Caught up in the glow, your world became my light, But chasing shadows ain't never made the dark bright. I gave you my heart, but you never took hold, The warmth I was feeling was your ice turning cold. I built us a dream on a fragile foundation, But love one-sided is a lonely creation. I’m losing myself, piece by piece, every day, Love’s a weight on my shoulders, dragging me away. Gotta break these chains, let this false hope go, To find my soul again, let my happiness grow. Your laughter was a melody I played on repeat, Thought I was winning, but I was stuck in defeat. Every word you spoke, I read too deep, Stayed awake all night while you drifted to sleep. Caught in a trance, chasing love’s illusion, Blurred my reality, drowned in confusion. Tried to fix what was never really broke, It’s hard to wake up when you breathe in the smoke. I’m losing myself, piece by piece, every day, Love’s a weight on my shoulders, dragging me away. Gotta break these chains, let this false hope go, To find my soul again, let my happiness grow. A moment of silence, I hear my heart scream, This ain’t the kind of love I deserve in my dream. I was a prisoner, but I’m holding the key, No more loving you, it’s time to love me. Climbing out the hole, I see the sun rise, Wiping off the tears from my weary eyes. Letting go ain’t weak, it’s finding my power, A new dawn begins at the end of this hour. I’m finding myself, piece by piece, every day, Left the weight of your love, now I’m on my way. I broke the chains, let that false hope go, And now my soul is free, let my happiness show.

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.. stand when I pee. 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.
