(Verse 1)
You cheered for tax cuts, big and bold,
But your logic’s ice where empathy’s cold.
They said it’s for families, a middle-class cheer—
But it’s billionaires laughing while your voice disappears.
Medicaid’s crumbling, ACA's taking hits,
Snatching care from fragile lives bit by bit.
The rich get richer, while the rest are stripped—
What’s a promise when so many get skipped?

(Pre-Chorus)
You call it freedom, I call it theft,
Taking lifelines—from people left bereft.

(Chorus)
No coverage, no conscience, doesn’t anyone see?
Your “beautiful bill” writes history’s mockery.
Millions lose their health—yet it’s never enough,
No coverage, no conscience, that’s realpolitik’s bluff.

(Solo)

(Verse 2)
12 million kicked off Medicaid’s floor —
Doctors turned away, hope’s at the door. 
CBO’s numbers say it slows no tempo,
17 million lose coverage—watch that divide grow. 
While hospitals choke on unpaid bills,
Families crushed under care’s cold mills.

(Pre-Chorus)
They say "We’re saving budgets, fighting waste,"
But there’s no price when this move kills grace.

(Chorus)
No coverage, no conscience, stories don’t lie,
Real people scream in the night while the rest walk by.
A future in tatters—but your coffers rise,
No coverage, no conscience—see through their disguise.

(solo)

(Bridge)
The “Big Beautiful Bill” rewrites our fate—
But the pen’s in one hand; the real cost’s the plate. 
While they claim mercy and fairness reign,
They slash safety nets—and feel no shame.

(Final Chorus)
No coverage, no conscience, this feast leaves us stripped,
They feast at our table while our lifelines get clipped.
12 million gone, 17 million more—this lie’s not benign,
No coverage, no conscience—when will justice align?

(Outro – Spoken, resigned)
You built it for the rich, with "freedom" divine—
But the rest? We just see headlines… while our rights decline.

No Coverage, No Conscience

[Verse 1]
If I could turn the clock,
Find that younger me,
Standing at the corner store,
Thinking it’s just one… maybe three.
I’d take his hand and say,
“This road is not for you,
It steals your breath, it steals your days,
There’s better things to do.”

[Chorus]
If I could talk to me,
I’d break the chain before it grew,
But here I am, and all I see
Is what today can do.
So I forgive the past,
Let the smoke fade in the air,
If I could talk to me—
I’d tell him: “Breathe, there’s better air.”

(solo)

[Verse 2]
And for all of you out there,
Carrying your own regret,
You can’t rewind the film,
But you can change what’s playing next.
Forgive that face in the mirror,
It’s the bravest thing to do,
The weight you drop today
Lets the sunlight shine right through.

[Chorus]
If I could talk to me,
I’d break the chain before it grew,
But here I am, and all I see
Is what today can do.
So I forgive the past,
Let the smoke fade in the air,
If I could talk to me—
I’d tell him: “Breathe, there’s better air.”

(solo)

[Bridge]
No time machine, no second take,
Only now to bend, not break.
We can rise, we can be free,
Starting here, starting with me.

[Outro]
If I could talk to me…
I’d say, “It’s never too late to be free.”

If I Could Talk to Me

Text:
[Verse 1 – Rap]
Yo, I’d jump in a time machine, straight back to sixteen,
Catch that punk kid lightin’ up, thinkin’ he’s unseen,
Slap that cig out his mouth, yellin’ “What the hell you doin’?”
“You’re writin’ your own death note, fool, you’re losin’!”
But nah, I let it slide, thought I’m stronger than the smoke,
Now I’m coughin’ every morning like my chest just broke,
It’s a joke… nah, it’s karma, and I’m facin’ the bill,
If I could talk to me, I’d say “Put it down – chill.”

[Hook – Melodic / Aggressive]
If I could talk to me, I’d tear that page apart,
Rip out the habit before it rips out my heart.
No time machine, so I’m breakin’ free today,
If I could talk to me—
I’d say “Walk away.”

(solo)

[Verse 2 – Rap]
See, regrets are like ghosts, man, they haunt you at night,
They ain’t payin’ no rent but they still holdin’ you tight.
People out here wishin’ for a second try,
But the truth is you get one shot, no alibi.
So I’m learnin’ to forgive that idiot I was,
He was lost, he was scared, yeah, he did what he does.
Now I’m spittin’ in the mic like it’s therapy time,
Turn my guilt into bars, let it bleed in the rhyme.

[Hook – Melodic / Aggressive]
If I could talk to me, I’d tear that page apart,
Rip out the habit before it rips out my heart.
No time machine, so I’m breakin’ free today,
If I could talk to me—
I’d say “Walk away.”

(solo)

[Verse 3 – Rap]
So this one’s for my people who are stuck in their heads,
Fightin’ battles in the dark, lyin’ awake in their beds.
You ain’t trapped in your past, that door’s unlocked,
Kick it open, step through, yeah, smash that clock.
Ain’t no future in a loop, it’s a prison cell,
And the guard is yourself—man, I know that well.
So I’m killin’ off the smoke, breathin’ deep again,
Ain’t waitin’ for tomorrow, nah—today’s when it begins.

[Hook – Melodic / Aggressive]
If I could talk to me, I’d tear that page apart,
Rip out the habit before it rips out my heart.
No time machine, so I’m breakin’ free today,
If I could talk to me—
I’d say “Walk away.”

[Outro – Spoken / Whisper]
Walk away… before it walks all over you.

Talk to Me

Text:
Verse 1
Steel boots on frozen ground,
Berlin whispers, orders loud,
"Keep your eyes wide, don't fall asleep,"
Tiny white pills for the march so deep.
Pervitin in every pack,
Hearts on fire, there’s no way back,
Fear erased, but the soul turns numb,
War drums beat, but the night won’t come.

Chorus
Pills for the war, they say it's the cure,
Fearless hearts they manufacture.
When the fight is done, who cleans the floor?
The battle stays inside forevermore.

(solo)

Verse 2
Jungle heat and the chopper’s roar,
Heroin shadows at the barrack door,
Amphetamine eyes wide open in hell,
Counting the days in a powder shell.
Back at home, but the war still breathes,
Every dream a mine that bleeds,
They gave us wings, but they cut the ground,
The silence screams, but no one hears the sound.

Chorus
Pills for the war, they say it's the cure,
Fearless hearts they manufacture.
When the fight is done, who cleans the floor?
The battle stays inside forevermore.

(solo)

Bridge
Now it’s Modafinil for sleepless skies,
A drone’s cold stare in electric eyes,
Different war, but the rules still same,
Fuel the soldier, forget the name.
History whispers through the veins,
That every war leaves the same remains.

Final Chorus (bigger, darker)
Pills for the war, they say it’s the cure,
Fearless hearts they manufacture.
The generals sleep, the soldiers pay,
Some battles never go away.

Outro
Steel boots fade into the mist,
But the needle’s bite still twists,
War was hell, but hell’s still here,
In every pill, in every tear.

Pills for the War

Text:
[Verse 1]
You chase perfect, a mountain you can’t climb,
Living in echoes of past failures, lost in time.
Caught comparing where you stand with someone else,
Your worth’s not found in their shell.

[Pre-Chorus]
Break the pattern, break it now,
Find your breath, learn just how...

[Chorus]
You can step free, step free from the old way,
Let go of guilt that steals your day.
Stop that noise inside, break the chain you made,
Choose who you are when the darkness fades.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
You’ve been living someone else’s dream,
Sacrificing pieces of your own esteem.
Hiding sorrow behind fake smiles and empty praise,
Time to leave behind those shadowed ways.

[Bridge]
No more should’s, no more masks,
Grudges burn, they never last.
Feel it all—without the lie,
Let the tears come, let that heart cry.

[Chorus]
Step free, step free from the old way,
Unchain the hurt that steals your day.
Silence the critic, lift your gaze,
Live the truth in your own ways.

(solo)

[Chorus]
Step free, step free from the old way,
Unchain the hurt that steals your day.
Silence the critic, lift your gaze,
Live the truth in your own ways.

ways, ways ohhhhhh ways ohhhh

[Outro – spoken softly]
Your story’s yours, one step at a time.
Break the pattern—reclaim your shine.

Break the Pattern

Text::
[Verse 1]
When you walk into the room,
Don’t shrink, don’t fade, don’t leave too soon.
Lift your head, let your voice be heard,
Every move is louder than words.

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t need to shout to make them see,
But you can’t whisper and expect to be free.

[Chorus]
Claim your ground, hold it tight,
Own your truth, it’s your birthright.
Stand so tall they can’t look away,
Respect’s not given, it’s taken today.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Straighten your spine, take steady space,
Confidence is your winning face.
The world will mirror what you show,
If you believe it, they’ll know.

[Bridge]
It’s not arrogance, it’s knowing your worth,
You’ve been proving it since your birth.
If they test you, stand your line,
Your voice, your strength, your sign.

(solo)

[Final Chorus]
Claim your ground, hold it tight,
Own your truth, it’s your birthright.
Stand so tall they can’t look away,
Respect’s not given, it’s taken today.

[Outro – Spoken]
And yeah… even me.
They see the limp, they hear the scars in my voice—
But they hear me,
Because I stand.

Claim Your Ground

[Verse]
Neon wings in the midnight air
Flutter softly
Do they care
Electric whispers
Everywhere

[Chorus]
Neon butterflies
They glow
They glow
Dancing through the dark
They know
They know
Catch one if you dare
Hold tight
Don't let it go

[Verse 2]
A trail of light
They leave behind
Fleeting moments
Hard to find
Are they real
Or in my mind

[Bridge]
Flashing colors
A secret flight
They paint the sky
They light the night
And vanish quick
Just out of sight

[Chorus]
Neon butterflies
They glow
They glow
Dancing through the dark
They know
They know
Catch one if you dare
Hold tight
Don't let it go

Neon Butterflies

[Verse 1]
In the hollow night,
I saw a serpent in the mirror,
Her tongue split the silence,
Her eyes drank the moon.
She whispered,
“Walk with me through the fever gates,
Where time burns like incense
And shadows taste of wine.”

[Chorus] (spoken, half-sung)
Ride with me,
Through the glass river,
Ride with me,
Till the sun forgets its name.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
We passed the bones of cities,
Their streets still breathing smoke.
Children made of porcelain
Cried silver in the rain.
The wind wore a crown of whispers,
The earth rolled under our feet—
A slow, wild drum
Calling wolves from the dark.

[Bridge] (spoken in trance)
Open the door.
Open the door.
Open the door to the black carnival
Where your soul will dance
In the arms of fire.

(solo)

[Final Chorus]
Ride with me,
Through the glass river,
Ride with me,
Till the sun forgets its name.

[Outro – spoken, fading]
The serpent smiles…
The mirror cracks…
And I am you.

Serpent in the Mirror

Text:
[Verse]
Sand in my shoes waves in my hair
Sun’s got a secret it’s willing to share
Every step feels like a melody
This ain't just a day it's a fantasy

[Prechorus]
Flip-flops slapping the beat on the floor
Who needs a map when you’ve got the shore

[Chorus]
Hollyday hollyday
Throw your troubles far away
Hollyday hollyday
Let the breeze just make you sway
Hollyday hollyday
Life's a game we came to play

[Verse 2]
Pineapple skies and coconut dreams
Ocean’s a mirror that sparkles and beams
Drinks in the sand where the tide likes to tease
We’re chasing sunsets with tropical ease

[Bridge]
The moon joins the party lights on the sea
Stars keep on dancing they’re winking at me
No clocks no rules just let it all go
Time melts like ice in the heat of the glow

[Chorus]
Hollyday hollyday
Throw your troubles far away
Hollyday hollyday
Let the breeze just make you sway
Hollyday hollyday
Life's a game we came to play

Hollyday

Verse 1
Beneath the desert sun, I rise from golden sand
A crown of stars upon my head, the kingdom in my hand
I ruled where the Nile kissed the land in green
But the gods wrote my fate in a script unseen

Chorus
Hear me now, across the stones and time
I am the shadow in your dream, the riddle in your mind
The voice of the Pharaoh, carved in fire and stone
I was never just a king… I am the throne

(solo)

Verse 2
Temples rose like mountains, to touch the sky’s embrace
But power is a river, it leaves no single trace
Priests spoke in secrets, my heart weighed in the scales
A feather of Ma’at, and the truth that never fails

Chorus
Hear me now, across the stones and time
I am the shadow in your dream, the riddle in your mind
The voice of the Pharaoh, carved in fire and stone
I was never just a king… I am the throne

(solo)

Bridge
Sand will bury flesh, but not the name
In the Book of the Dead, I still play the game
O gods of the West, open wide the gate
I will walk through darkness, to master fate

Outro
So when the wind sings over desert plains
And the moon spills silver on forgotten chains
Know that the Pharaoh still whispers near
A king never dies… he remains right here

Voice of the Pharaoh
