(Verse 1) Yo, lemme introduce you to Rock Star Rob, Yeah, that’s my name, not just some new job. Paralyzed from the chest down, my body’s on lock, But my mind’s a whole crew, and we’re ready to rock. They say I’m confined, in this chair that I’m...

Life on Wheels: Navigating the World with Quadriplegia
Life can throw some serious curveballs. For me, that curveball was a spinal cord injury that left me a quadriplegic. Suddenly, the world I knew shifted on its axis. Simple things I once took for granted – reaching for a glass of water, scratching an itch, getting out...

90s Nostalgia
Intro/Chorus: (Fast-paced, energetic punk rock riff) 90s kid, missin’ the scene Hangin’ out, gettin’ high, TV screen MTV, music blastin’ loud Nothin’ to worry ’bout, feelin’ proud Verse 1: Remember the days, simpler times Nothin’ but fun, no stressin’ crimes Skateboardin’ streets, rockin’ the band Friends by my side, holdin’...

Nightmare
In the hush of night, the same scene unfolds, A labyrinthine path, both chilling and cold. I wander its twists, with a heart full of dread, Searching for answers, forever unfed. The shadows that lengthen, the whispers that creep, A chorus of voices in slumber too deep. I...
