Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
In a world where the weak get tossed to the side,  
Kindness don’t shield you, no matter how hard you tried,  
They see through the smiles, the masks that we wear,  
A gentle heart's a target, but that ain’t fair.  
See, strength ain’t just muscle, it’s how you’re perceived,  
If they think you’re a lion, then they won’t deceive,  
Reputation’s the armor, gotta build it right,  
It’s a game of the mind, keep your vision in sight.

[Chorus]
In this life, you gotta play like a king,  
Cuz a crown ain’t just metal, it’s the power you bring,  
Master the vibes, let your aura ignite,  
When the shadows surround you, stand tall, be the light.  
Can't just carry a sword, gotta wield minds as well,  
In a world without justice, perceptions compel.

[Verse 2]
They ship us like echoes, but I won’t be a ghost,  
My whispers got weight, I’m a force to oppose,  
A puppet on strings, nah, I’m cutting the ties,  
When they think I’m a threat, they start seeing the wise.  
Control every glance, let ‘em see what I want,  
The hype is my weapon, watch ‘em gas and confront,  
You gotta be clever, don’t just play the street,  
In a fight for perception, make their hearts skip a beat.

[Chorus]
In this life, you gotta play like a king,  
Cuz a crown ain’t just metal, it’s the power you bring,  
Master the vibes, let your aura ignite,  
When the shadows surround you, stand tall, be the light.  
Can't just carry a sword, gotta wield minds as well,  
In a world without justice, perceptions compel.

[Bridge]
Every stare’s a battle, every whisper a war,  
Words are the sword when you’re fighting for more,  
Harness the fear, turn it into respect,  
In a twisted reality, aim to connect.  
The truth’s in the chaos, but the lines they can bend,  
Reputation’s the shield when you need to defend,  
In this cruel masquerade, play the role to survive,  
With wisdom as currency, we learn to thrive.

[Chorus]
In this life, you gotta play like a king,  
Cuz a crown ain’t just metal, it’s the power you bring,  
Master the vibes, let your aura ignite,  
When the shadows surround you, stand tall, be the light.  
Can't just carry a sword, gotta wield minds as well,  
In a world without justice, perceptions compel.

Original idea for this song:
In an unfair world, kindness does not protect you. You are protected by a reputation as a person with whom it is better not to play at strength. And for this reputation to work, you need not only to be strong, but to be perceived as strong. And here we return again to the image, to how you are seen, what the crowd turns you into. And if you want to rule, you need not only strength, but also the ability to direct other people's perceptions. So the next step is to master not bodies, but minds. After all, you can wield a sword, but if you do not know how to control attention, you will lose in the eyes of the majority. And in a world where justice does not exist as a reality, but as an expectation, it is the expectation that becomes a weapon.

Power Play. TRUTH Co. Ltd

Master of Minds

Lyrics:

My great-great-grandfather would say
Everything you see as evil can become a source of power if you refuse to be a victim.

You've been betrayed, so you've learned who's untrustworthy. 
You've been robbed of an opportunity, so you're free to find your own. 
You've been pushed out of the world you know. So it's time to build your own. 
You don't have to forgive for the sake of peace. 
You don't have to seek revenge for the sake of revenge. 
You have to use Injustice as fuel. 

Pain as motivation, betrayal as a lesson. 
Loss as enlightenment. 

Because if you can turn hurt into power, pain into calculation, and loss into movement, you will become something that can't be destroyed. 

You will no longer wait for the world to fix itself. You will create your own order. 
You will not ask, you will build. 
You will not beg, you will declare.

And that is true justice. 

It is not that the world should be kind, but that you should become strong. 

It is not that everyone should be honest, 
but that you should know how to act when no one is honest.

Own Order

Lyrics:

Legends Don't Define Us
Yo, don't you get caught in the mirror's haze,
Living up to legends, lost in a daze.
Your image on the pedestal, shining so bright,
But flicker and fade if you don’t hold it tight.
They’ll build you up just to tear you down,
Box you in a crown while you wear the frown.
Inspire, don’t just command the scene,
Flexibility’s the key, you know what I mean?
See the expectations, they shape your eyes,
Authoring reality, weaving the lies.
But trust, the truth is fickle, shifting like sand,
Heroes rise and fall, don’t get trapped in the brand.

Hook:
Don't believe the legend, it’s just a guise,
Own your power, see through their eyes.
You’re more than the story, you’re more than the tale,
Ride the waves of change, let resolute prevail.
Rap your mantra, override the noise,
Let ‘em plot and scheme, you’re the one who enjoys.
Direct the vision, don’t impose your rules,
Transform the narrative, break free from their tools.
You gain the grounds when you shift the game,
A puppeteer of dreams, igniting the flame.
Expectations fluctuate, true, they do,
But a soul that’s firm can bend but won’t break through.
Find the pulse, keep it steady, don’t get too tight,
Emotion’s the compass that guides you right.
Move with the rhythm of the world’s embrace,
If you lock yourself down, you’ll lose your grace.

Hook:
Don’t believe the legend, it’s just a guise,
Own your power, see through their eyes.
You’re more than the story, you’re more than the tale,
Ride the waves of change, let resolute prevail.
So look to yourself, that’s where you hold it,
A tool for the dream, don’t let it control it.
Become the architect of visions pristine,
And rise with the power of a life unseen.

Original idea for this song:
Don't believe your own legend. Don't become a hostage to your own image. Let others believe. You must know that it is a tool, not nature. And then you gain power not only over people's actions, but also over their imagination. And this is the most stable form of domination, when you do not command, but inspire, do not impose, but direct. 
And if you own expectations, you become the author of their reality. However, reality is fickle. Expectations fluctuate, and the one who seems like a hero today may be rejected tomorrow. Therefore, in order to survive, you must be able to change more than once, not according to mood, but systematically, flexibly, internally.

Waves of Change

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Yo, no one fears the good, they laugh in your face,
They crave the strength, respect in a power race,
Heard they’re lookin’ for a hero in a world gone cold,
But it’s the wolves in sheep’s clothes that always take hold.
Flexibility my morality, that’s how I play,
Hidin’ my claws ‘til the moment's ripe to slay.
You want a leader, call me shepherd in disguise,
While chaos reigns, I’m the calm beneath the sighs.

Chorus:
I’m the shadow, in the light they can’t see,
With strength in my silence, just lettin' them be.
Justice got devalued, but I’m keepin' it real,
A symbol of light, while in darkness I steal.

Verse 2:
Flip the script, let them paint me however they want,
A calm façade while my inner fire’s daunt,
They need a savior, but we’re playin’ a game,
In a world so blind, I ain’t lookin' for fame.
Tomorrow’s a riot but they chase my shadow,
Don’t need no cape, I’m the one who’ll follow.
I’m movin’ through the chaos, a whisper in the night,
With my ethics as my weapon, it’s my mind that fights.

Chorus:
I’m the shadow, in the light they can’t see,
With strength in my silence, just lettin' them be.
Justice got devalued, but I’m keepin' it real,
A symbol of light, while in darkness I steal.

Bridge:
Don't look for comfort, the hero's a guise,
While they cling to their dreams, open your eyes.
In a world where the good gets lost in the dust,
It’s the shadow that’s risen, you better adjust.
I’m the pulse in the chaos, the beat in their fear,
Show them a savior, as the path gets clear.

Chorus:
I’m the shadow, in the light they can’t see,
With strength in my silence, just lettin' them be.
Justice got devalued, but I’m keepin' it real,
A symbol of light, while in darkness I steal.

Original idea for this song:
No one fears the good, but everyone respects the strong, if he knows how to hide his claws until the right moment. Justice as a concept is devalued, but the fair image still sells. People continue to look for a hero, a shepherd, a leader, just so as not to be left face to face with chaos. Become this image. Don't believe in him. Use it. Your morality is your flexibility. Your ethics are your influence. Let them see you as a symbol of light, while you move in the shadows, twisting the moves as the situation requires.

Shadow Shepherd

Lyrics:
In an unjust,
World so tough,
Kindness breaks,
It's not enough.  

Fox in lamb's,
Clothing sly,
Calculate moves,
Watch the sky.  

Be skillful,
Know your way,
Mercy when,
They betray.  

Cruel when,
It brings gain,
Virtue shines,
Hide the pain.  

Recognize traps,
With keen eyes,
Scare the wolves,
Wear your disguise.  

I never advised,
Being a beast,
But a wise fox,
To say the least.  

In an unjust,
World so tough,
Kindness breaks,
It's not enough.  

Fox in lamb's,
Clothing sly,
Calculate moves,
Watch the sky.

Original idea for this song:
In an unjust world, you cannot afford to be truly kind in the sense of naive selflessness. It will lead to your destruction, but you must not become an obvious predator. I never advised being a beast. I advised being a fox in lamb's clothing. Be skillful, be calculating, be merciful when necessary, be cruel when it is advantageous, but always appear virtuous. One must be a fox to recognize the traps, and a lion to scare away the wolves," I wrote earlier. And that is the whole strategy.

Fox in lambs clothing

Lyrics:
Make injustice your strength,
Not your cause of pain,
Rise above the rain,
Will you climb the wall?
Or will you just fall?
Stand up, heed the call,
Injustice is a game,
Don’t let it bring shame,
Fuel your inner flame,
The world won't change,
It stays the same,
But you can reclaim,
Make injustice your strength,
Not your cause of pain,
Rise above the rain,
Opportunities are lost,
You count the cost,
But never exhaust,
Look up, stand tall,
It’s not your downfall,
Time to break the wall,
Make injustice your strength,
Not your cause of pain,
Rise above the rain,
Climb it like a ladder,
Let nothing else matter,
You’ll rise up, not shatter,
Injustice is the test,
You’ll find your best,
Turn pain to rest,
Make injustice your strength,
Not your cause of pain,
Rise above the rain.

Original idea for this song:
Make injustice your incentive to power, not your cause of suffering. For at the very heart of this whole philosophy lies one simple but stark choice. What will you do with the injustice you encounter? Will you turn it into your drama or your engine? Will you suffer from it or will you climb it like a ladder? This is not a choice of feelings. It is a choice of will. The world will not change. It will not become honest because of your pain. It will not apologize to you. It will not return your stolen opportunities, it will not compensate for betrayal, it will not stitch up the wounds inflicted by someone else's selfishness, indifference, greed. The injustice will not go away, but you can look up and see that it was not a punishment. It was a challenge.

Injustice is a Game

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Raise your head, look at the chaos and don't look away. 
Where others scream about injustice, build a system. 
Where others break, stand. 
Where others wait for rules, start writing your own. 

Chorus:
So stand strong, don't look away,
In this battlefield, we find our way.
Channel the chaos, let it ignite,
Build your fortress, hold on tight.
You don’t need justice, be the warrior's call,
Survivor in the rubble, you’ll never fall.

Verse 2:
Be the one who is not broken by disorder, but who knows how to build a fortress on it. 
Be the one who does not need justice, because you have become stronger than it. 

Chorus:
So stand strong, don't look away,
In this battlefield, we find our way.
Channel the chaos, let it ignite,
Build your fortress, hold on tight.
You don’t need justice, be the warrior's call,
Survivor in the rubble, you’ll never fall.

Verse 3:
And remember, you do not have to be kind. You have to be strong. 
You do not have to be loved. 
You have to be necessary. 
You do not have to be right. 
You have to be a survivor. 

Chorus:
So stand strong, don't look away,
In this battlefield, we find our way.
Channel the chaos, let it ignite,
Build your fortress, hold on tight.
You don’t need justice, be the warrior's call,
Survivor in the rubble, you’ll never fall.

Verse 4:
Act without illusions, without pity, without fear. Because the world is not a moral stage. 
The world is a battlefield of interests. And now you know how to play in it. 

Chorus:
So stand strong, don't look away,
In this battlefield, we find our way.
Channel the chaos, let it ignite,
Build your fortress, hold on tight.
You don’t need justice, be the warrior's call,
Survivor in the rubble, you’ll never fall.

Bridge:
Remember, you’re a titan in the storm,
With every scar earned, your true self is born.
No rules, just power, no pity, just grind,
In a world of interests, keep your goals aligned.

Bye!

Oops, I almost forgot.

My cross-genre music is born from a fundamental creative need to express my observations on the theatre of life and the world around me. At times, it allows me to construct a soundscape of a more desirable world, offering an escape from the often-ugly reality we face. For me, music is inherently rewarding; the journey of making and producing it is an intensely personal and profoundly satisfying experience.
