Description: battle scars is an emotional uphill battle with me and myself arguing and confronting my mind.

What goes on behind closed doors we never really know or understand.  What we do to save face and not be discovered, sometimes just like a show......

THE SHOW

Noite di Sodadi é uma balada cola-zouk crua e intensa, nascida das ruas de Bissau. Com letras em crioulo e português, ela conta a história de uma única noite mágica — um encontro fugaz entre dois corpos que dançaram como se o tempo tivesse parado. A melodia suave e melancólica acompanha um vocal cheio de saudade, enquanto sons de fundo como motas e vozes de rua criam uma atmosfera real e íntima.
É uma homenagem ao amor passageiro, à memória que nunca morre, e à beleza escondida nas esquinas da cidade.

Noite di Sodadi is a raw and emotional cola-zouk ballad straight from the streets of Bissau. Sung in Crioulo and Portuguese, it tells the story of one unforgettable night — a fleeting encounter between two souls who danced as if time stood still. The soft, nostalgic melody blends with heartfelt vocals, while background sounds like motorbikes and street voices give it a real, intimate feel.
It's a tribute to fleeting love, undying memory, and the beauty hidden in the corners of the city.

LYRICS:

[Intro]
You don’t get to call this freedom.
Not when you gut it with a smile.
Not when you write tyranny into 1,100 pages
And dare to call it law.
This isn’t compromise.
This is a coup in plain sight.

[Verse 1]
They sat for 24 hours in the deadlock heat,
While the rich cut their steak, and the poor begged to eat.
JD Vance with a gavel, like he crowned a king,
One tie-breaking blow — and we lost everything.
Susan said no, Thom said hell no,
Rand said the math don't work, let it go.
But Murkowski broke, with a tear in her eye,
Said it’s the hardest “yes” she’s ever had to justify.

[Chorus]
This is the One Big Beautiful Lie,
Signed in blood, wrapped in flags, dressed in white.
They’re selling you chains with a grin and a wink,
Now they’ll jail your thoughts just for how you think.
No court to run to, no law to cry 
It’s legal now to watch freedom die.

[Verse 2]
He stood in a camp full of migrant despair,
Declared victory with gold in his hair.
"A bill for everyone," Trump laughed and lied,
While children went hungry and their parents cried.
Cutting cancer research, slashing schools,
Kicking down rights like authoritarian tools.
DEI burned, history erased,
Burn the books, but leave the Bible in place.

[Bridge]
If you can still defend this man,
After he’s:
— Tried to erase Black history,
— Defunded education,
— Cut cancer research for kids,
— Destroyed DEI,
— Bullied colleges,
— Deported people with legal rights,
— Defied the Supreme Court,
— PUBLICLY SAID he has no duty to the Constitution...
You're not misinformed.
You're morally bankrupt.

Bankrupt. Bankrupt. Bankrupt.

[Verse 3]
This bill ain't law — it's a loaded gun,
A paper war waged 'til the courts come undone.
Fire the judges, ignore their orders,
Criminalize protests, redraw the borders.
LGBTQ+ rights in flames,
Healthcare gutted, all in God’s name.
Your VPN’s tracked, your voice is flagged,
Your vote gets tossed in a rigged red bag.

[Chorus]
This is the One Big Beautiful Lie,
Wrapped in money, broadcast nationwide.
You think the courts will stop this train?
They rewrote the rules — you’ll cry in vain.
Don’t tell me it’s just politics,
When the whole damn system is just a big fix.

[Verse 4]
Lisa said: "This was rushed. This ain't right."
But still she cast the vote that killed the light.
Now Trump don’t break laws — he redefines 'em.
And the ones who resist? Yeah, they'll criminalize 'em.
No more "it won't be that bad,"
No more "the courts will save us," — they can’t.
This isn’t a drill. It’s a red, white, and blue heist.
And the price tag is your rights.

Freedom... redefined...
Opposition... labeled enemy of the state...
Protests now criminalized...

[Verse 5]
You said you loved the Constitution.
He said he doesn’t have to follow it.
You said, “The system will hold.”
He rewrote the system.
You said, “He won’t get this far.”
He got further.
Now what?

[Chorus]
This is the One Big Beautiful Lie,
With liberty gasping while the tyrants fly.
They hold their seats, but we hold the line,
If we don’t rise up, there won’t be a next time.
This ain't politics — this is war.
And the battle’s knocking at your door.

Share it.
Speak up.
Show up.
NOW.
Before the next vote is the last one you ever cast.
Before the next vote is the last one...
Before the next vote is the last one...

[Final Verse]
This administration is sick.
And if you’re still sitting at that table —
100 days in —
You’re just as sick as the one carving up the country.
Stand up.
Burn that table down.

[Outro]
One big bill. One big lie.
One last chance before we all say goodbye.

One Big Beautiful LIE!
