[Verse 1]
Now here I stand, under the disco lights, shining so bright
With the beats so loud, they echo through the night
Each step I take on this dance floor tells my story
Of how I fought through the shadows to find my glory

[Pre-Chorus]
Yes, I stumbled, and I fell, but I rose with each fall
With every challenge, I grew tall
I danced through the doubts and the fears
Turned my struggles into cheers

[Chorus]
Oh yes, I thrived, in this disco life
With every beat, I found my stride
I've got my dreams to live, my songs to give
And I'll thrive, oh I will thrive, yes, yes

[Verse 2]
Through the darkest nights, my spirit never died
In the rhythm of life, my heart found its guide
I learned to dance in the rain, embraced every pain
In the mirror ball's reflection, I found my direction

[Pre-Chorus]
So let the music play, let it lift you up
In this dance of life, never give up
Feel the power within, let your journey begin
Show the world your fire, let your soul inspire

[Chorus]
We will survive, in this disco vibe
With every move, we feel alive
We've got our lives to live, so much love to give
And we'll thrive, we will survive, oh, oh

[Bridge]
Dance away the fears, wipe away the tears
In the disco light, everything's all right
We're survivors, yes, we're dreamers
On this dance floor, we're all believers

[Chorus]
Oh, we'll survive, under the disco sky
With every twirl, we're flying high
We've got our dreams to chase, in this neon space
We'll survive, we will thrive, in this disco life

[Outro]
So let's dance, let's sing, let our spirits ring
In this disco haven, our souls are driven
We'll survive, oh, we'll thrive, in this dance of life
Under the disco lights, our spirits take flight.

We Will Survive

[Verse 1]
Espresso kiss wakes me in the morning
Your love's a brew, rich and never boring
Hearts in my latte, you're always on my mind
Our passion percolates, one of a kind

[Pre-Chorus]
But too much of your love, makes me jittery
I need my space, to brew independently  
Yet in the evening, your cappuccino embrace
Soothes my soul, sets a relaxing pace

[Chorus]
'Cause baby, you're my exotic spice
Your aroma lingers, like coffee beans entice
Life's a grind, but with you it's worthwhile  
Our love's a flavorful, aromatic profile

[Post-Chorus]
Whoa-oh-oh, you're my dark roast darling
Whoa-oh-oh, we're a bold blend, never charring

[Bridge]
From dark roast mornings to cappuccino nights
Our love's a rich tapestry, woven through life's delights  
We'll weather the daily grind, like baristas brave
Crafting the perfect cup, the perfect love we crave

[Chorus]
'Cause baby, you're my exotic spice
Your aroma lingers, like coffee beans entice
Life's a grind, but with you it's worthwhile  
Our love's a flavorful, aromatic profile

[Refrain]
Whoa-oh-oh, you're my dark roast darling
Whoa-oh-oh, we're a bold blend, never charring

[Verse 1]
Espresso kiss wakes me in the morning
Your love's a brew, rich and never boring
Hearts in my latte, you're always on my mind
Our passion percolates, one of a kind

[Pre-Chorus]
But too much of your love, makes me jittery
I need my space, to brew independently  
Yet in the evening, your cappuccino embrace
Soothes my soul, sets a relaxing pace

[Chorus]
'Cause baby, you're my exotic spice
Your aroma lingers, like coffee beans entice
Life's a grind, but with you it's worthwhile  
Our love's a flavorful, aromatic profile

[Post-Chorus]
Whoa-oh-oh, you're my dark roast darling
Whoa-oh-oh, we're a bold blend, never charring

[Verse 2]
Some days we're bitter, others we're sweet
Like coffee varieties, our love's a complex treat
We wake each other up, when we're feeling low
Latte conversations, as our hearts' cappuccinos flow

[Pre-Chorus]
Work's a grind, but the result's sublime
At the end of a long day, you're like an evening chime
Calling me to relax, in your latte-like arms  
Where I find solace, far from worldly harms

[Chorus]
'Cause baby, you're my exotic spice
Your aroma lingers, like coffee beans entice
Life's a grind, but with you it's worthwhile  
Our love's a flavorful, aromatic profile

Exotic Spice (Ebs Lovers Dance Mix)

[Verse 1]
Our love was a dream, a honeymoon phase
But reality hit, debts and worry ablaze
You lived in a world, so far from mine
I worked day and night, just to make you shine

[Pre-Chorus]
When did we lose the spark, the friendship we had?
Was it the end, when things got bad?
I'm trapped in this cycle, of pain and regret
Wondering if things could've been different, if only we'd met

[Chorus]
Would we still be together, if I had more to give?
Would you still be mine, if I knew how to live?
If I controlled my anger, would we still be a pair?
Now you're gone forever, leaving me in despair

[Verse 2]
Communication broke down, we couldn't find the words
Our once vibrant love, now just a blur
I tried to walk the talk, but stumbled and fell
Now you're in another's arms, and I'm in this hell

[Pre-Chorus]
The house we built, too big for our dreams
Private schools and fancy things, tearing at the seams
I'm haunted by the memories, of what we could've been
If only I had been better, if only I had seen

[Chorus]
Would we still be together, if I had more to give?
Would you still be mine, if I knew how to live?
If I controlled my anger, would we still be a pair?
Now you're gone forever, leaving me in despair

[Bridge]
I love you, it's tearing me apart
I love you, but it's a brand new start
We had it for a moment, but I let it slip away
I had you, but I couldn't make you stay

[Chorus]
Would we still be together, if I had more to give?
Would you still be mine, if I knew how to live?
If I controlled my anger, would we still be a pair?
Now you're gone forever, leaving me in despair

[Outro]
You say you hate me now, did our love mean nothing?
I'm left here wondering how, I could've changed something
But time moves on, and I'm still stuck in place
Trapped in this prison, of my own disgrace

Would We Still Be Together (Ebs Dance Mix)

[Verse 1]
You strut into the club, high heels and designer drugs,  
Flashing cash and bling, like love's a thing you can buy.  
Chasing paper hearts, caught up in a fleeting high,  
Trading self-respect for a shot at the VIP life.

[Pre-Chorus]
But when the lights come on, and the party fades,  
Will you still feel whole, or just played?  
Chasing golden dreams, but at what cost,  
When all the glitter's gone, and you're lost?

[Chorus]
Gold digger stilettos, click-clack, watch her go,  
Building houses of cards from head to toe.  
Says she's lookin' for love, but we all know,  
It’s the high-rise life she’s after, in the glow.

[Verse 2]
Swiping through her feeds, looking for someone to need,  
A millionaire, a baller, a ticket to a life of ease.  
But money can't buy love, and status ain't a healing drug,  
Searching for connection in all the wrong directions.

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when you strip away all the gold and glitter,  
What's left underneath, does it still shimmer?  
Each romance, a transactional feat,  
Love's receipts, bittersweet.

[Chorus]
Gold digger stilettos, click-clack, here she goes,  
A mirage of happiness, only she knows.  
Claims she’s in it for love, but we clearly see,  
It’s the penthouse views she craves, in the glow.

[Bridge]
Take off the Louboutins and the Louis Vuitton,  
Wipe away the makeup, girl, and let your true self shine on.  
'Cause you don't need a Rolex to know your worth,  
It's time to stop chasing, find what you truly deserve.

[Chorus]
Stop chasing paper hearts, quit building house of cards,  
No Gucci or Prada can mend your broken parts.  
True love ain't for sale, don't fall for emptiness,  
It's time to stop chasing paper hearts.

[Outro]
So watch her move, in her gold digger stilettos,  
A symphony of steps, in shadows.  
Under the limelight, she might confess,  
In her pursuit of more, she found much less.

Paper Hearts VIP (Featuring Amy Wu, Remixed by Ebs)

[Intro]
Grabbed you 'round the waist, oh,
In the corner where the shadows play.


[Verse 1]
You turned and kissed my face, so bright,
Underneath the strobe light's unexpected light.
I know I shouldn't, but I can't resist,
I kiss you back, it’s a risk, risk, risk.

[Pre-Chorus]
Feel all of your clothes turn invisible,
You don’t care, want this always,
We're too different, "Let's be sensible,"
But your eyes shine bright as I taste your tongue.

[Chorus]
Unexpected love, where hearts collide,
In this unexpected place, where secrets hide.
Sometimes, you find love, can't push it aside,
In an unexpected place, love amplified.

[Verse 2]
Okay, let’s stop this now; maybe it’s a mistake,
Is this lust or is it love? Our hearts at stake.
Yes, we share a house, saw you watching me,
Thought I'd take a chance, what have we set free?

[Pre-Chorus]
My life will never be the same again,
One door closes, another opens, begins.
You say don't stop, carry on, it's not wrong,
However, this is new, we whisper our song.

[Chorus]
Unexpected love, where hearts collide,
In this unexpected place, where secrets hide.
Sometimes, you find love, can't push it aside,
In an unexpected place, love amplified.

[Bridge]
Grabbed me by surprise, caught me in your eyes,
Unexpected love, unexpected strife.
Didn't see it coming, now I’m succumbing,
In the dance of shadows, our doubts are numbing.

[Chorus]
Unexpected love, where hearts collide,
In this unexpected place, where secrets hide.
Sometimes, you find love, can't push it aside,
In an unexpected place, love amplified.

Unexpected Love (Featuring Fay Day and the Alarm remixed by Ebs)

[Verse 1]
You came into my life, turned the dark to brightest day,  
Your radiant smile, a beacon in shades of gray.  
Every whisper in the wind, tales of love once seemed untrue,  
But now I see the world anew, the starlight found in you.

[Verse 2]
With every laugh, your light chases my shadows away,  
In your eyes, a glimmer of dreams that always stay.  
Guided by the starlight in your gaze, so deep and wise,  
Finding truth beyond the lies, in the starlit night skies.

[Pre-Chorus]
And all the paths I've walked, your love has cleared my view,  
Every star above, a reminder of the light in you.  
So many things I've learned, but this rings forever true,  
It's your love that pulls me through, every hurdle we outdo.

[Chorus]
Oh baby, you are the one who saves my soul,  
My guiding star, the one who makes me whole.  
Through highs and lows, your love is my parade,  
In your heart, I've found my everglade.

[Verse 3]
Today I woke with hope, knowing you're by my side,  
Together strong, in your love, I confidently stride.  
You're the symphony to my life's once silent tune,  
With you, my heart finds peace, as flowers find their bloom.

[Pre-Chorus]
And as we face life's storm, your strength becomes my lead,  
In your light, I find the courage, the only creed I heed.  
So many roads we'll walk, with your hand in mine,  
In your love, I find a treasure, timelessly divine.

[Chorus]
Oh baby, you are the one who saves my soul,  
My guiding star, the one who makes me whole.  
Through highs and lows, your love is my parade,  
In your heart, I've found my everglade.

[Bridge]
Do I deserve this light that in your heart resides?  
I'm grateful every day you're here, right by my side.  
You're the truth behind my joy, my dream that never hides,  
In your love, I soar and glide, where true bliss abides.

[Chorus] 
Oh baby, you are the one who saves my soul,  
My guiding star, the one who makes me whole.  
Through highs and lows, your love is my parade,  
In your heart, I've found my everglade.

[Outro]
Just you and me, beneath the endless skies,  
Forever bound by the starlight in your eyes.

Starlight (Remixed by Ebs)

[Verse 1]
Lost in the depths of my own blue,
You chased away the gloom with your radiant hue.
I never knew what I was missing in my skies,
Until I found the starlight in your eyes.

[Verse 2]
The whispers say love's just a game,
But when I'm with you, it's not the same.
You turned my world around, showed me truth's disguise,
Now I'm captivated by the starlight in your eyes.

[Pre-Chorus]
And as we dance through life's cascade,
Your smile's the light that never fades.
So much to say, no need for lies,
Just lost in the beauty of the starlight in your eyes.

[Chorus]
Oh baby, you're the muse that saves my soul,
The missing piece that makes me whole.
Through all the highs and lows, you're my golden prize,
My shining star, my paradise,
Forever in the starlight of your eyes.

[Verse 3]
Do I deserve a love so pure and true?
I wake up smiling, grateful I found you.
With you by my side, I can take on any tide,
Invincible, forever along for the ride.

[Pre-Chorus]
Dreams once thought unattainable,
Love I believed unsustainable,
Now within reach, no more goodbyes,
Forever guided by the starlight in your eyes.

[Chorus]
I said baby (I said baby),
You're the one who's always there to save me.
Through it all, you're my northern star, my all,
My shining light, standing tall,
Forever in the starlight of your eyes.

[Bridge]
A love like this, so rare and true,
You make me better in all I do.
In your glow, I finally realize,
You're the truth behind the starlight in your eyes.

Starlight In Your Eyes (Daniel Hest and Rob Edwards, remixed by Ebs)

[Verse 1]
They said I couldn't make it, I was just a poor black kid 
Teachers failed me in my classes, opportunities I was never given
Tried to hold me back, keep me in my place
But I got soul power, runnin' through my veins 

[Chorus]
I'm simply red, simply red
With a fire burning deep inside my head  
They can't stop me, no matter what they said
'Cause I'm simply red, simply red

[Verse 2] 
Grew up on the wrong side, where hope was hard to find
The system tried to grind me down, bury me deep inside
But I rose above, I had to find my way 
No matter what the haters say, I'm gonna seize the day

[Chorus]
I'm simply red, simply red
With a fire burning deep inside my head  
They can't stop me, no matter what they said
'Cause I'm simply red, simply red

[Bridge]
I've known struggle, I've known pain
But in my heart there's a driving refrain  
Tellin' me stand tall, walk proud
Ain't nothing gonna hold me down

[Verse 3]
So when life has gotten tough and the path ahead unclear
I feel the beat within my soul, there's no room here for fear 
Gonna sing my song, spread my wings and fly
They'll hear my voice, see my colors in the sky

[Chorus]
I'm simply red, simply red
With a fire burning deep inside my head  
They can't stop me, no matter what they said
'Cause I'm simply red, simply red

[Outro]
Simply red...simply red...
I'm simply red...until the day I'm dead

Simply Red (Derek Winston Remixed by Ebs, Pop Remix)

[Verse 1]
They told me I was nothing, just a face in the crowd,
Said my voice was too soft when I thought it was loud.
They boxed me in corners, where shadows play,
Dressed in labels that fade but never decay.
I’m more than a color, I’m more than a grade,
In the spectrum of life, I’m vivid, not fade.

[Chorus]
Simply red, not just the color of rage,
Simply red, turning the page.
From the streets to the stage, watch me engage,
Simply red, it's time to break the cage.

[Verse 2]
At school, they said I was just too slow,
Judged by my skin, not what I know.
Back of the class, where dreams defer,
But my spirit's undying, of that be sure.
Books might pass me, but my mind is keen,
Reading the world through a lens unseen.

[Chorus]
Simply red, not just the color of rage,
Simply red, turning the page.
From the streets to the stage, watch me engage,
Simply red, it's time to break the cage.

[Bridge]
Look at me now, standing proud, standing tall,
From every fall, I've learned to brawl.
My heart’s on fire, with every beat,
In every lane, on every street.

[Verse 3]
Had to struggle for the little that I got,
The world sees a number, but I’m not.
A two-door ride parked outside,
It’s not the gleam, but the drive inside.
Don’t pity me ‘cause I’m building my creed,
From every no, I snatch my deed.

[Chorus]
Simply red, not just the color of rage,
Simply red, turning the page.
From the streets to the stage, watch me engage,
Simply red, it's time to break the cage.

[Outro]
We’re rising, uniting, igniting the night,
A spectrum of colors in the fight.
Simply red, but oh so much more,
From every heartbreak, we soar.
