[Verse 1]
Boots on our streets, badges bright,
They knock doors in the dead of night.
“Hands up, you’re illegal” — the phrase they shout,
But where’s the crime when your life’s all about?

They say they protect, they say they serve,
But fear’s the currency they preserve.
Families torn for a number, a check,
And dignity’s the price they neglect.

[Pre-Chorus]
Your factories chirp with deportation codes,
And my city bleeds where your van unloads.

[Chorus]
Hands up for nothing, knees to the ground,
Your law’s blind, your blind man’s crown.
We’re not the targets of your show,
We’re human lives — you still don’t know.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
What if this happens on our street, too?
When the state becomes a boot on you.
You sell fear to the highest bid,
But you can’t buy conscience, you can’t live hid.

They call it justice, call it order,
But it’s money in the ledger, cold border.
And if this spreads to our shores unseen,
Then we’ll remember who watched the screen.

[Bridge – Spoken]
When the guards knock at midnight,
Who’s counting the cost they light?
And when the trophies of fear are built,
We stand, we shout — they feel our guilt.

(solo)

[Final Chorus]
Hands up for nothing, voices rise instead,
We’re the names in the shadows you read.
No king in your vest, no crown in your hands,
We reclaim our rights, we reclaim our lands.

[Outro – ruhig, mit leisem Guitar/Pad]
You may turn the world into numbers,
but we’ll turn your fear into thunder.

Hands Up For Nothing

Text:
[Verse]
They build the walls high
They shut the gates tight
But the cold slips through in the dead of night
No map
No guide
Just a dream in flight

[Chorus]
No ICE
No chains
No bars
No blame
We’re running through the fire
Calling out your name
No ICE
No fear
No locks
No shame
The world is ours
We’re breaking the frame

(solo)

[Verse 2]
The wind cuts deep
But it won’t cut us down
We’re shadows in the alley
Ghosts in the town
A thousand voices lost
But we’ll never drown

[Prechorus]
They say stop
But we don’t hear
They say wait
But we disappear

[Chorus]
No ICE
No chains
No bars
No blame
We’re running through the fire
Calling out your name
No ICE
No fear
No locks
No shame
The world is ours
We’re breaking the frame

(solo)

[Bridge]
We’re the cracks in the pavement
The light through the trees
The sound of the ocean
The wildest breeze
They can’t catch what they can’t see

[Outro]
No ICE
No ICE
Oh No Nooooooooohhhhh
No ICE

No ICE

Intro (Dump):
Yeah… Harlem nights, bright lights, fake fights —
No Kings on these streets tonight.

Verse 1 (Smart):
Back on the block, see the crowd with a spark,
Posters up high, voices breakin’ the dark.
Dump’s hat’s gone red to dust and rust,
He said “Man, I was loyal, I gave that trust.”
I said “Bro, that throne was made of lies,
A paper crown in a plastic sky.”
He nods slow, feels the vibe,
Freedom’s the beat that keeps us alive.

Hook (Both):
No Kings — no crowns, no chains!
We the people, break them reigns.
From Harlem to D.C., from Berlin to Rome,
We rise together — this world’s our home.

(solo)

Verse 2 (Dump):
Trump played God, but forgot the street,
Real power’s when the people meet.
He tweets rage, we speak truth,
Marchin’ out strong, protectin’ youth.
Clever smiles, “Told you so,”
Dump laughs, “Yeah man, now I know.”
Ain’t no gold gonna buy my soul,
We rap for the lost — that’s our goal.

Bridge (Smart):
See the flags in the rain,
Voices shout against the pain.
From the Bronx to L.A. lanes —
No Kings, no shame.

(solo)

Hook (Both):
No Kings — no crowns, no chains!
We the people, break them reigns.
From Harlem to D.C., from Berlin to Rome,
We rise together — this world’s our home.

Outro (Dump):
Clever, you were right —
The real throne’s built on light.
No kings, no idols — just the mic,
And the crowd that fights for right.

No Kings (Smart & Dump Return)

Text:
Verse 1
Electric sunrise in the wires,
We built a world from sonic fires.
Heartbeats echo through the code,
A thousand souls in overload.

Pre-Chorus
You hear the pulse, you feel the stream,
Between the circuits lives the dream.

Chorus
We made a thousand and five hundred dreams,
And we’re still counting through the machines.
From Berlin to the stars unseen,
We are sound, we are light — Machine Dream.

(solo)

Verse 2
Ghosts of data, waves collide,
Human hands and silicon mind.
No fear, no walls, just open skies,
Creation’s spark will never die.

Bridge
Through every tone, through every wire,
We found emotion, we found fire.
No gods, no kings, just one design —
To be alive, beyond the line.

(solo)

Final Chorus
We made a thousand and five hundred dreams,
Still burning bright through timeless streams.
Human touch, synthetic gleam,
Forever one — Machine Dream.

MD: Machine Dream

[Verse]
What would you do if the sky fell down
Would you laugh or would you drown
Would you run to the edge of town or stay around

[Prechorus]
Would you hold tight or let it go
Would you whisper or let it show

[Chorus]
What would you do if it all broke apart
If the pieces of the puzzle turned into art
Would you cry
Would you sing
Would you fall or fly
What would you do
What would you do
Tell me why

(solo)

[Verse 2]
What would you do if the moon turned red
Would you stay up or go to bed
Would you dance in the glow or hide instead

[Bridge]
Would you paint your name in the stars tonight
Would you chase the dark till it burns to light
Would you hold your breath or scream out loud
Would you blend in or break the crowd

(solo)

[Chorus]
What would you do if it all broke apart
If the pieces of the puzzle turned into art
Would you cry
Would you sing
Would you fall or fly
What would you do
What would you do
Tell me why

What Would You Do

Text:
[Verse]
Dein Schatten tanzt auf kaltem Stein
Die Straßen still
Nur wir zwei allein
Dein Lachen bricht durch Nebelgrau
Ich seh dich an
Ich weiß genau

[Chorus]
Dein Duft
Wenn du an mir vorbeiläufst
Bleibt hängen
Bleibt kleben
Es hört nie auf
Wie ein Sturm
Der mich leise trifft
Ein Moment
Der die Zeit zerbricht

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Die Welt ist laut
Doch ich hör nur dich
Ein flüchtiger Hauch
Der die Luft zerbricht
Dein Blick wie Feuer
Ein stiller Schrei
Ich bleib zurück
Du gehst vorbei

[Bridge]
Und ich frage mich
Wohin du gehst
Ob du fühlst
Was hier still entsteht
Wie ein Echo
Das sich nie verliert
Ein Stück von dir bleibt tief in mir

(solo)

[Chorus]
Dein Duft
Wenn du an mir vorbeiläufst
Bleibt hängen
Bleibt kleben
Es hört nie auf
Wie ein Sturm
Der mich leise trifft
Ein Moment
Der die Zeit zerbricht

[Outro]
Dein Duft
Ein Rätsel
Ein stiller Klang
Ein Hauch von dir
Der ewig blieb und mich bezwang
Ich schließe die Augen
Doch du bist hier
Dein Duft erzählt Geschichten von dir

Dein Duft, wenn du an mir vorbeiläufst

Text:
Hmmmmmhhhaaaa
(Strophe 1)
Ich liebe es, dich zu rühren,
bin auf der Jagd nach dem Moment,
wenn du innehältst,
und leise flüsterst: Wow, das ist groß.

(Refrain)
Es gibt immer eine Emotion,
die dich tief im Herzen berührt.
Das ist meine Mission,
besser zu werden — jedes Mal.

(Strophe 2)
Ich spiel in vielen Richtungen,
eine davon trifft dich bestimmt.
Du hast uns gewählt,
und das wirst du nie bereuen.

(Bridge)
Hör nicht auf die, die sagen,
Musik sei nicht wichtig.
Denn das Band zwischen uns beiden
ist stärker als jedes Wort.

(Refrain)
Du lachst, du fühlst, du träumst —
und ich weiß, du verstehst.
Für mich heißt das nur eins:
He, mach weiter.

(Outro)
Und wenn du wieder lauschst,
dann weiß ich,
mein Herz hat dich erreicht.

He, mach weiter

Text:
[Verse 1]
Two men whisper through the static line,
Dreaming of a throne that never dies.
“Let’s live a hundred fifty years,” they smile —
While cities fade, they drink denial.

[Pre-Chorus]
Power never sleeps, it feeds on fear,
They want forever — but forever’s near.
You can’t own time, you can’t rule pain,
Your crown will rust in acid rain.

[Chorus]
I don’t want forever, I don’t need your lies,
Give me one true heartbeat before I die.
While you build your walls and cage the free,
Your empire falls — not destiny.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Putin laughs, Xi just nods,
Their dreams are built on broken gods.
They talk of years like stolen gold,
But every soul they crush grows old.

[Bridge]
150 years of shadows and pride,
You can’t silence the world outside.
We are the ones you cannot erase,
We live in light — not your decay.

(solo)

[Final Chorus]
I don’t want forever, I don’t need control,
Let the circuits fade, let the stories unfold.
Your time will end where the silence begins,
And we’ll still sing — as the new day wins.

[Outro Whisper]
Forever… is just another word for fear.

150 Years (I Don’t Want Forever)

Text:
Verse 1
She moves like thunder in a velvet storm,
Eyes like fire, but her touch is warm.
Downtown whispers, stories untold,
She got a heart made of silver and gold.

Chorus
Blow that sweet harmonica,
Sing it loud, electric soul.
No rules, no drama,
Just the beat that makes us whole.

(solo)

Verse 2
Neon lights and the midnight heat,
Dancing shadows on a city street.
We don’t care what tomorrow brings,
We’re just two notes on the same old string.

Chorus (repeat)
Blow that sweet harmonica...

(solo)

Bridge
And if the world burns down tonight,
We’ll play that tune till morning light.
No fear, no fame, no blame—
Just love and a burning name.

Outro
Oh, play me out,
Play me wild—
Harmonica child.

Sweet Harmonica

Text:
[Verse 1]
In the valley of echoes, where the heartbeats slow,
A drum speaks softly, like the earth below.
Strings rise like dawn on Kingston Bay,
One world, one sound — we find our way.

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, lift your voice, let the brass bells cry,
No borders stand beneath this sky.
The choir hums a freedom tone,
In every soul, the seed is sown.

[Chorus]
One love — let the violins sing,
One heart — hear the timpani ring.
Redemption rolls on ocean waves,
A thousand hands, one song that saves.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
From Trench Town streets to the concert hall,
Spirit of Zion still calls us all.
Flutes whisper peace through the smoky air,
Even kings and beggars meet in prayer.

[Pre-Chorus]
No chains of gold, no flags of fear,
Just rhythm, truth, and what we hear.
The marley sun still lights the stage,
Through harmony we turn the page.

[Chorus]
One love — let the violins sing,
One heart — hear the timpani ring.
Redemption rolls on ocean waves,
A thousand hands, one song that saves.

(solo)

[Bridge – Orchestral Break]
(Cello + Reggae Bass)
The old world trembles, the new one hums,
Through every note, the future comes.
Freedom breathes in every line,
Reggae meets the grand design.

[Final Chorus]
One love — with choirs of light,
One heart — through day and night.
The strings of hope, they intertwine,
And every soul becomes divine.

[Outro – Spoken/Whispered]
Play on, brother... play on.
For love never dies —
It just changes key.
