(Laid-back, syncopated reggae beat with a heavy bassline kicks in. A simple, melodic keyboard line plays over it. The drum beat is a classic one-drop.) (Verse 1 – Rapper) Yo, the bassline’s heavy, a pulse in the gloom But my head’s a concrete jungle, no room to bloom...

Overcoming Fear Of Unknow
A heavy weight, a heart that’s sore, Disappointment stings once more. Dreams unmet, a path unclear, But hope remains, I persevere. Tears may fall, like cleansing rain, Washing clean the hurt, the pain. Though shadows linger, skies will mend, Brighter days are just around the bend. I’ll take...

(Verse 1)Woke up one morning, the sun shined so brightBut my body felt heavy, nothin’ felt rightFrom my neck down, a stillness so deepA promise of movement I no longer could keepThe doctors they spoke with a worried soft tone“A spinal cord injury, you’re not on your own”But...

THE REASON IM HERE
(Acoustic guitar intro – slow, melancholic strumming)(Verse 1)Woke up to the ceiling, a canvas of grayThe sun was a liar, another empty dayThe curtains were drawn, a shield from the light‘Cause every damn sunrise just fueled the fightThe war in my head, a whisper so cold“What’s the point...
