WHAT YOU NEED (Lyrics DUBNOISE)

Bubbling in my skin I feel the pain bleeding out
Cries for my sisters that are buried underground
And I still hear their sounds, sounds of their voice
But the fear that they were living never had no choice
Generational trauma, la mujer asesinada
Gotta protect your mama, gotta connect each other
This the light at the end of the tunnel
Getting you out of the struggle
When the world is falling down I get you out of the rubble
(Huh)

[Chorus]
Keep your head up queen
(Huh)
Never forget your dreams
(Nah, huh)
Keep your head up queen
(Nah)
Never forget your, never forget that you came from a woman that went through some pain
I know that you're hurting cause I'm feeling the same
And this is not the end, there will be some brighter days
Keep your head up queen, know that you are not to blame 
[Chorus]                                                                                                                     

We were leaders once,
Fire in our hands.
Healing, knowledge,
Power in demand.

Then they stole it,
Burned our names.
Called us witches,
Drowned in shame.

Still today—
Shut us up,
Pay us less,
Push us down,
Call us prey.
But we won’t fade away.   Told to be pretty,  But never too smart.  Quiet your voice,  Don’t speak from the heart.
Never complain, Never defy.  Be a good daughter, Be a good wife.
Hide your anger,  Swallow your needs.  Dress up your pain,  And call it “pleased.”
Dress sexy—you're a slut.  Don’t dress up—you’re a prude.  No matter what you do,  You're always wrong.

 [Chorus]
Keep your head up queen
(Huh)
Never forget your dreams
(Nah, huh)
Keep your head up queen
(Nah)
Never forget your, never forget that you came from a woman that went through some pain
I know that you're hurting cause I'm feeling the same
And this is not the end, there will be some brighter days
Keep your head up queen, know that you are not to blame 
[Chorus]                                                                                                                         

I scroll and see it—
Mocking lines.
Too loud, too soft,
Step out of line.

Too ambitious,
Too much fire.
Too emotional,
Called a liar.

Every post—
Same old game.
Every word—
Our worth in chains.  We fight online,
Weapons in words.
Forget the system,
Forget what we’ve learned.  Hey, no more hiding.
No more holding it in.
Say your truth, even when it scares you.
I see your pain, and you don’t have to carry it alone.
Teach your daughters to fight,
teach your sons to respect.
We can tear down the old shit,
we can build something better.
Now is our time — and you, yes you, are the one.
Keep going. Keep rising. You’ve got this. 

{Chorus]
Keep your head up queen
(Huh)
Never forget your dreams
(Nah, huh)
Keep your head up queen
(Nah)
Never forget your, never forget that you came from a woman that went through some pain
I know that you're hurting cause I'm feeling the same
And this is not the end, there will be some brighter days
Keep your head up queen, know that you are not to blame 
[Chorus]

What you need (Lyrics (DUBNOISE)

De ce souffle

bright

Yo, woke up, head feelin' light
Like a busted streetlamp, no shine
Wallet lookin' slim, tragic sight
Burnt toast.

[Prechorus]
Damn, this ain't the life, wishin'
On pennies, hopin', glistenin'.

[Chorus]
Burnt toast, yeah, that's my breakfast
Burnt toast, tastes like I'm second
Burnt toast, always in a rush
Burnt toast, nothin' but the crust.

[Verse 2]
Rent's due, landlord heavy breathin'
Bills stacked high, deceitful season
Dreams on hold, slowly leavin'
Burnt toast.

[Bridge]
Gotta flip this, find a new angle
Before my spirit start to tangle
Hustle hard, escape this strangle
Burnt toast.

Burnt Toast

We wake to traffic above our heads,
concrete ceiling, footsteps echoing.
You shake the cold out of your coat,
I steal bread from last night’s bag.
We share it sitting on the curb,
the city already rushing past.

Chorus
We’re ghosts on the sidewalks,
no faces, no names.
Invisible to the world,
but nothing holds our chains.
You’re my compass in the dark,
my shelter in the storm.
If they ever take you from me,
I’ll never make it home.

Verse 2
Afternoon heat on broken glass,
we wash in the fountain near the square.
You laugh at the suits with their ties too tight,
I laugh because you’re laughing.
The city moves in circles,
we move straight through.

Chorus
We’re ghosts on the sidewalks,
no faces, no names.
Invisible to the world,
but nothing holds our chains.
You’re my compass in the dark,
my shelter in the storm.
If they ever take you from me,
I’ll never make it home.

Bridge
Night drops heavy on the alleys,
sirens cut through the smoke.
We duck behind the shutters,
holding our breath,
holding each other.
Every day we make it,
is a day they didn’t win.

Outro
We sleep where the neon dies,
your heartbeat the only clock we need.
Tomorrow’s not promised,
but tonight, we’re free.

We're ghosts on the sidewalk

Walking on the sidewalk
I see a world cracked
It's not so hard
To fall back

[Prechorus]
But I keep on walking
Never stop talking

[Chorus]
Sidewalk cracks yeah
They try to hold me back yeah
Sidewalk cracks
Can’t stop my tracks

[Verse 2]
The sun beats down so hard
My head feels like it's breaking
Gotta find some shade
Before I stop faking

[Prechorus]
But I keep on walking
Never stop talking

[Chorus]
Sidewalk cracks yeah
They try to hold me back yeah
Sidewalk cracks
Can’t stop my tracks

Sidewalk Cracks

Yeah…
Listen close.
’Cause what I’m about to say might shake everything you think you know—
about pain, failure, and your own mind.
[Verse 1]
There’s two kinds of people in this world, I’ve seen it,
Those who break down, tired, barely breathing,
And those who rise up when the weight gets heavy,
When the storm comes down, they stay steady.
It ain’t luck, it ain’t schooling, it ain’t IQ,
It’s a mindset—what’s inside you.
Ain’t about pretending when your soul’s in pieces,
It’s power, it’s faith, it’s your will through the seasons.
[Hook]
I keep my head high when the sky falls down,
Light in my chest when the dark comes around,
Ain’t no fear in my veins, I just breathe, I believe—
Positive mental attitude, that’s me.
Yeah, I rise when they quit, I smile through the pain,
Every loss that I take just fuels my flame,
They don’t see what I see, but I know what’s true—
I can’t lose with this mindset, I can’t lose.
[Verse 2]
Met the ghosts of giants, legends in their time,
Carnegie, Ford, Edison on the grind,
They built empires out of pressure and dirt,
They took every failure, turned it into work.
Didn’t run from the pain, they embraced it,
Didn’t cry when the game rearranged it.
They studied defeat, transmuted the pain,
Turned every setback into gain.
[Hook]
I keep my head high when the sky falls down,
Light in my chest when the dark comes around,
Ain’t no fear in my veins, I just breathe, I believe—
Positive mental attitude, that’s me.
Yeah, I rise when they quit, I smile through the pain,
Every loss that I take just fuels my flame,
They don’t see what I see, but I know what’s true—
I can’t lose with this mindset, I can’t lose.
[Bridge / Spoken Breakdown]
What’s controlling your mind today?
Fear? Doubt? Resentment? Self-pity?
Or faith… purpose… gratitude… desire?
Your mind ain’t neutral—it’s always under the influence of something.
If you don’t control it, the world will.
If you don’t master it, the devil will.
And when I faced my greatest enemy… it was me.
[Final Hook]
I keep my head high when the sky falls down,
Light in my chest when the dark comes around,
No chains on my soul, just the truth that I choose—
My attitude decides if I win or lose.
Yeah, I rise when they quit, I smile through the pain,
Every scar on my heart just calls my name,
They don’t see what I see, but I know what’s true—
Positive mental attitude…
That’s you.

i keep my head high

I've been chasing sound since the day I ran away from home. 
While most kids were in school, I was digging through crates in record stores - learning rhythm, rebellion, and the raw truth music could carry. By 13, I was sleeping in nightclubs. By 15, I was behind the decks, DJ-ing to survive and to feel something real.

In the 1980's, I became part of Belgium's early electronic wave - spinning vinyl before it was a scene.

But life, as it does, took me away from the spotlight. Still, the music never stopped playing in me.

Now, after all these years, I'm back. Producing my own tracks. No rules, no formulas - just decades of sound, scars, and soul poured into every beat.

For those who've ever felt like outsiders...
For those who live through sound...

This is for you.
The beat goes on. And so do I.

This track is not available anymore.
