Verse 1:
In the morning light, where dreams take flight,
We chase the dawn, in the endless sky.
With hearts unbound, and spirits high,
We spread our wings, and learn to fly.

Chorus:
On the wings of freedom, we soar above it all,
Breaking every barrier, tearing down the wall.
In the open air, we find our place,
With the wind in our hair, and the sun on our face.

Verse 2:
Through the valleys deep, and the mountains tall,
We roam the earth, hearing nature's call.
With every step, and every mile,
We find our joy, and share a smile.

Chorus:
On the wings of freedom, we soar above it all,
Breaking every barrier, tearing down the wall.
In the open air, we find our place,
With the wind in our hair, and the sun on our face.

Bridge:
No chains can hold us, no fear can bind,
In the dance of life, we're intertwined.
We are the dreamers, the wild and free,
In this boundless world, we find our glee.

Verse 3:
In the starlit night, under moon's soft glow,
We weave our stories, in the world we know.
With laughter loud, and voices clear,
We live our lives, with nothing to fear.

Chorus:
On the wings of freedom, we soar above it all,
Breaking every barrier, tearing down the wall.
In the open air, we find our place,
With the wind in our hair, and the sun on our face.

Outro:
So let’s embrace the journey, and the path we pave,
With hearts wide open, and spirits brave.
For in the song of freedom, we find our tune,
Dancing through the day, and under the moon.

Wings Of Freedom

Verse 1
You strut around with your nose in the air
Think you're the center of attention but nobody cares
Your world is so small, only you can be seen
While the rest of us laugh at your fate

Chorus
Hey, Mr. Ego, where's your audience?
You talk so big but it's just so loud
Hey, Ms. Selfish, look around
Nobody cheering, just empty sound

I, I, I, I, I think about me
You, you, you, you, don’t interest me
I, I, I, I, I am the center
You, you, you, you, aren’t on my level

Verse 2
Mirror, mirror, you are all you see
Lost in your reflection, no compassion
Every step you take is just for show
But the truth, my friend, is that you fly alone

Chorus
Hey, Mr. Ego, where's your audience?
You talk so big but it's just so loud
Hey, Ms. Selfish, look around
Nobody cheering, just empty sound

I, I, I, I, I think about me
You, you, you, you, don’t interest me
I, I, I, I, I am the center
You, you, you, you, aren’t on my level

Bridge
We see you stumbling on your vain parade
In a world of shadows, your light will fade
You think you're winning, but here's the twist
In a game of hearts, you'll be sorely missed

Chorus
Hey, Mr. Ego, where's your audience?
You talk so big but it's just so loud
Hey, Ms. Selfish, look around
Nobody cheering, just empty sound

I, I, I, I, I think about me
You, you, you, you, don’t interest me
I, I, I, I, I am the center
You, you, you, you, aren’t on my level

(Guitar-Solo)

Outro
Egoists, take a bow
Your time is up, the show is over now
In the end, you stand alone
An empire of one, no throne, no home

Ms. Selfish

[Intro]
Yeah, it's time to speak up,
Against the hate, against the chains,
No more pain, no more stains,
Let's rise up, break the frames.

[Verse 1]
Yo, tired of the hate, man, it’s gotta stop,
Racism's a plague, and it's rising to the top,
But we ain't backing down, we got love in our hearts,
Together we're strong, man, that's where it starts.

Streets filled with blood, too many lives lost,
Gangs taking brothers, man, at what cost?
We gotta lift up, put down the guns,
Pride in our heritage, but crime ain’t fun.

[Chorus]
No more chains, no more lies,
We rise up, we touch the skies,
Love for my brothers, love for my crew,
We stand strong, we push through.

[Verse 2]
Unity's the answer, ain't no room for divide,
White, black, brown, man, we all gotta ride,
Stand against the hate, break the walls down,
No more tears, no more frowns.

Gotta hustle for peace, hustle for love,
No more looking down, we rise above,
Proud of my roots, proud of my skin,
But crime and gangs, man, we ain’t in.

[Chorus]
No more chains, no more lies,
We rise up, we touch the skies,
Love for my brothers, love for my crew,
We stand strong, we push through.

[Bridge]
Break the system, change the game, motherfucker
No more living in the shame,
Empower our youth, give 'em hope,
Teach 'em to live, teach 'em to cope.

[Outro]
Yo, we gotta stand tall, gotta stand proud,
Speak against hate, say it out loud,
Together we're strong, divided we fall,
Let’s end racism once and for all.

No More Chains

Text:
(Verse 1)
Yo, it's chaos in the hood, shadows creep at night,
Every turn you take, gotta be ready to fight.
Block's burnin’ hot, homies fallin’ down,
No peace, just beef, in every part of town.

Catchin' fades daily, ain't no time to rest,
Cold hearts, wild minds, livin' with the stress.
OGs preachin' real, tryna teach the youth,
But these youngins hard-headed, only know the truth.

(Pre-Chorus)
Sirens wailin', mothers cry, tears hit the ground,
Another soul lost, another life not found.
Street code’s law, it’s the only way they know,
In the land of the hollow, where the pain don’t show.

(Chorus)
War in the streets, no peace in sight,
Every night’s a battle, gotta stay tight.
Lives on the line, hearts full of scars,
In the concrete jungle, we’re fightin’ our wars.

(Verse 2)
Concrete jungle, battleground's set,
No winners here, just survivors with regrets.
Pushin' weight, dodgin' cops, tryna stay afloat,
But the streets pull you under, grip you by the throat.

Homies lost to the system or buried in graves,
Just another day for the streets’ brave slaves.
Shots ring out, blood spills, no escape,
From the cycle of violence, the city’s cruel fate.

(Pre-Chorus)
Keep your eyes open, watch your back, stay alive,
In this war in the streets, only the strong survive.
Sirens wailin', mothers cry, tears hit the ground,
Another soul lost, another life not found.

(Chorus)
War in the streets, no peace in sight,
Every night’s a battle, gotta stay tight.
Lives on the line, hearts full of scars,
In the concrete jungle, we’re fightin’ our wars.

(Bridge)
We dream of peace, but it’s hard to see,
In a place where the pain runs deep as the sea.
Stay strong, stay true, hold on tight,
One day we’ll rise, from this endless night.

(Chorus)
War in the streets, no peace in sight,
Every night’s a battle, gotta stay tight.
Lives on the line, hearts full of scars,
In the concrete jungle, we’re fightin’ our wars.

(Solo)

(Outro)
War in the streets, we’re fightin’ our wars,
In the concrete jungle, behind closed doors.
Stay strong, stay true, one day we’ll see,
A world without the pain, a world where we’re free.

War In The Streets

Is It Better To Stay In Bed

Text:
[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.”
