[Verse] Marley the crack head dog Running streets all night long Eyes wide patrolling wrong Searching rocks where he belong [Verse 2] Teeth gnashing hunt them stones In the alleys where he roams Paws tipsy on that road Chasing pebbles like it's gold [Chorus] Rock head Marley find your freakin way Every day’s a struggle every night's a sway Living for the gravel falling in dismay Rock head Marley can't you hear me say [Verse 3] Daylight breaks but he's not done In his mind that battle's won Claws dig deep the shadows shunned All for rocks his life is spun [Bridge] Marley’s world just the cracks Never stops never looks back Rock in mouth heart attack Life on hold on that track [Chorus] Rock head Marley find your freakin way Every day’s a struggle every night's a sway Living for the gravel falling in dismay Rock head Marley can't you hear me say

Insurance fraud, it’s the game we play, Dodging all the traffic, throwin’ care away, Claim the cash, make it splash, got my friends in tow, In this chaotic world, we just steal the show! In the court, I bring the noise, drama on the rise, “Your Honor, I didn’t jump, I performed a surprise!” Breakin’ down the puzzles like I’m solving a riddle, Judge can’t resist, I make fraud look like a giggle! Playin’ with my life like it’s one big game, “Hit me, hit me, I’ll take all the blame!” Street Smarts pack, got my swagger on fleek, Dodge left, dodge right, turn up the heat! So raise a toast to chaos, my crew and I unite, Insurance Fraud Sim, we’re living on the hype, From hospitals to courtrooms, cash flies like a kite, In this wild sim world, we’ll be fraudsters for life!

[Verse] Neon lights and midnight creed Chasing dreams at top speed Concrete jungle whispers loud We stand tall we're unbowed [Verse 2] Street symphony blares a tune Echoes rise beneath the moon Hustlers’ anthem heartbeats fast Living dreams we never cast [Chorus] City of dreams where we roam Every alley feels like home Tales of grit and nights so bright In this realm we find our light [Verse 3] Voices blend in urban song Here where we all belong Magic in the grime and bricks Every soul A thousand tricks [Bridge] Skyline hug The morning glows In this maze Our spirit flows Never lost always found In this city all are crowned [Chorus] City of dreams where we roam Every alley feels like home Tales of grit and nights so bright In this realm we find our light

(Intro) (Yeah, uh) First off, Ligaya, you ain't sh*t but a fake! Frontin' like a rose, but all you do is hate! Thought you bloomin' out here? Nah, I gotta set it straight, I’m droppin' bombs on you, girl, it's time to retaliate! (Verse 1) First things first, Ligaya, you a fraud, you ain't legit, Got that pretty little face, but your vibe smellin' like sh*t, Talkin' like you pure — girl, you ain't even close, Ain't no fragrance, just decay, in a garden full of ghosts! You wanna act like you a queen, sittin’ on a throne, But all I see is a thorn bush, cold to the bone, You tried to play me, yeah, you thought you was slick, But now I’m exposin' you — ain’t no flower, just a trick! (Hook) Ligaya, you ain't bloomin', nah, you just a dead stem, Frontin' like a flower but nobody want them, I was down for you, yeah, I was rootin’ deep, But now I’m cuttin' you off, tossin' your ass to the street! (Verse 2) You got that fake smile, yeah, that sugar-coated grin, But you stab in the back soon as somebody lean in, You a dandelion, baby, blowin' away in the breeze, Tryna act like a rose, but you got me sayin' "Please!" Your attitude stinks worse than sewage on a hot day, Bitter like them weeds, always in the damn way, You a parasite, always suckin' up the life, But I’m chop-choppin' your ass off like a gardener's knife! (Hook) Ligaya, you ain't bloomin', nah, you just a dead stem, Frontin' like a flower but nobody want them, I was down for you, yeah, I was rootin’ deep, But now I’m cuttin' you off, tossin' your ass to the street! (Interlude: Talking) Yo, Ligaya, you really thought you had it, huh? Actin' all sweet like you the only flower out here, But all you did was spreadin' that hate, Now it's time for me to set this garden straight! (Verse 3) You used to shine bright, like a sunflower in the light, But your true colors came out — and it wasn't white! All that fake love, all that fake-ass talk, Got me laughin' while I watch you wither on the stalk. You ain't no queen, you a pawn in this game, Burnin' bridges left and right just to boost your own name, But now you crawlin’ back, beggin' like a withered weed, But I’m spittin’ this fire — watch you shrivel and bleed! (Hook) Ligaya, you ain't bloomin', nah, you just a dead stem, Frontin' like a flower but nobody want them, I was down for you, yeah, I was rootin’ deep, But now I’m cuttin' you off, tossin' your ass to the street! (Outro) Yeah, Ligaya, your season's over, it's done, I’m pullin’ you up by the roots — you ain’t the one, Ain’t no sunshine for you, just darkness and dust, You ain't a flower, girl — just a pile of rust! (Ad-libs) Yeah, it's over, Ligaya — you done played yourself. Ain't nobody got time for no dead-ass flower. This garden's mine now — you just a weed that got pulled out!
the inclusion of *Born a Crime* by Trevor Noah in the syllabus of all New South Wales schools. The book is a funny, entertaining memoir of Trevor Noah's childhood in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa, but it also contains powerful lessons for students that can promote understanding, empathy, and cross-cultural awareness. The book is a worthy choice for all Year 8 students because of the themes, language, and humour that it explores. The inclusion of *Born a Crime* is well-explained by its examination of identity and racism, two complex themes that are essential to discuss in the classroom. Trevor Noah, as the offspring of a white father and a Black mother, explores apartheid—a system of racial segregation—firsthand. The book invites readers to think about matters of race and identity, which is highly relevant in a multicultural country like Australia. Noah specifically says, "I was born a crime." When you tell people that you're half-white, half-black, they think of something beautiful, like a zebra. The metaphor of a zebra to describe mixed-race identity points out how society views racial mixing as something unusual rather than natural. The text's ability to discuss serious topics with humor and sensitivity will allow students to explore identity in a safe and thoughtful manner. Additionally, the book features great characters—especially Trevor's mother, who serves as a fantastic role model of strength and ethics. Trevor's journey with her offers insights into courage and the value of education. As Noah puts it, "My mother did what school couldn’t. She taught me how to think." This ironic line implies that real learning goes beyond formal education. Students can easily relate to characters like Trevor's mother, through whom they learn about family, sacrifice, and the importance of education—lessons relevant to all young readers. Finally, Trevor Noah's accessible writing style makes complex issues understandable for students of all reading levels. His use of humor, storytelling, and simple yet heartfelt language makes challenging topics more approachable. One memorable example is his statement, “Language defines you more than color to people.” Noah’s use of everyday language mixed with deeper themes helps students connect with the text and develop empathy for different perspectives. Overall, I believe *Born a Crime* is an excellent choice for the NSW curriculum, as it engages with crucial themes of identity, racism, and family through relatable characters and accessible language. It is not only an enjoyable read but also a text that challenges students to think critically about the world around them. Including this book in the curriculum will provide students with a meaningful literary experience that aligns with educational standards. Thank you for considering this proposal. I truly believe this book will resonate with students and help them construct a clearer picture of the complexities within our multicultural society.

[Verse] Bottle of envy, sippin' that potion, Heart got waves like the ocean in motion. Frenzied thoughts, vision gettin' hazy, Jealousy's a beast, driving me crazy. [Verse 2] Flashin' your success, glitter on the 'Gram, Whole crew cheerin', I don't give a damn. Green-eyed monster, haunting my dreams, Mind like a prison, lockin' up schemes. [Chorus] Jealousy's a fire, burnin' in my chest, Catch me in the shadows, never gettin' rest. Mixin' up emotions, swirling in the night, Won't let it break me, gotta win this fight. [Bridge] Cursin' my reflection in a cracked mirror, Wishin' I had what I seein' clearer. You got the shine, my heart's in the dark, But I got the drive, ignitin' that spark. [Verse 3] Can't hide the envy, maskin' the truth, Bitterness linger like a spoiled brute. But deep down, I know my worth, Jealousy's a poison, stunts my birth. [Chorus] Jealousy's a fire, burnin' in my chest, Catch me in the shadows, never gettin' rest. Mixin' up emotions, swirling in the night, Won't let it break me, gotta win this fight.
[Verso 1] Hace tiempo que la calle no tiene el mismo color, las luces de la noche ya no brillan como ayer, bro, el barrio donde crecí se volvió otro lugar, y yo, buscando paz, no sé si la voy a hallar. Esas charlas con amigos que se fueron sin avisar, las risas de antaño que se perdieron en el mar, yo caminando solo por estas mismas veredas, pero la gente ya no es la misma, las caras cambiaron de idea. Mi alma lleva cicatrices de un tiempo que se fue, y la esperanza se quedó guardada en un cajón sin fe, la nostalgia me consume y no hay vuelta atrás, siento que el tiempo me mató, y no sé si voy a regresar. [Estribillo] Te juro que quiero volver a esos días, cuando todo parecía ser más fácil, pero el reloj no espera y el mundo se derrumba, sólo quedan recuerdos y la lluvia en la ventana. [Verso 2] El camino que elegí no tiene la misma luz, las sombras me abrazan y no sé si es por la cruz, los sueños se me caen como hojas en otoño, y el peso del pasado me aplasta, me ahoga, me atormenta todo. Mi viejo me decía “hijo, el tiempo no perdona”, y ahora entiendo bien lo que quería decir, se nos va la vida en un parpadeo, en un suspiro, y yo, aquí parado, sin saber a dónde ir. La gente que amaba se fue de a poco, se alejó, quedaron los recuerdos y un corazón roto, pero sigo aquí, buscando en el viento una señal, aunque sé que lo perdido nunca vuelve, es todo un mal. [Estribillo] Te juro que quiero volver a esos días, cuando todo parecía ser más fácil, pero el reloj no espera y el mundo se derrumba, sólo quedan recuerdos y la lluvia en la ventana. [Puente] Y aunque el tiempo pase y todo cambie, las memorias siguen siendo las que me mantienen, pero en el fondo sé que hay un lugar, donde la paz y la nostalgia se puedan encontrar. [Estribillo] Te juro que quiero volver a esos días, cuando todo parecía ser más fácil, pero el reloj no espera y el mundo se derrumba, sólo quedan recuerdos y la lluvia en la ventana.
