addy drop! [stracct] [99bpm Ebminor] [soundcloud exclusive]

I created this and several other songs after watching the heinous story of a mother and her children being jumped by a bunch of bad ass children, her son's bullies 💔 😢. So I spoke out and written out lyrics from my thoughts of seeing several outlets speaking on the incident 💔 😢. 

Lyrics 

[Verse]
Your words are sugar
Your tone is sweet
But underneath
It’s a dead-end street
I see through the cracks
Your shiny veneer
Plastic promises
I’m outta here

[Chorus]
Keep it real or keep it moving
No time for the show you’re proving
Fake apologies won’t soothe me
Say it true or just lose me

[Verse 2]
Your keyboard courage
It’s paper-thin
Typing sorry but it don’t sink in
You’re a shadow dancer in the glow of a screen
But I need truth
Not a pixel dream

[Prechorus]
If you don’t mean it
Don’t even try
Words are empty when they’re built on lies

[Chorus]
Keep it real or keep it moving
No time for the show you’re proving
Fake apologies won’t soothe me
Say it true or just lose me

[Bridge]
Don’t wrap your guilt in emojis and hearts
Don’t press send if it’s missing the spark
I’d rather silence than hollow noise
Real’s the only sound that brings me joy

Shield of a Mother (definitive version)

I created this and several other songs after watching the heinous story of a mother and her children being jumped by a bunch of bad ass children, her son's bullies 💔 😢. So I spoke out and written out lyrics from my thoughts of seeing several outlets speaking on the incident 💔 😢. 

[Lyrics]

[Verse]
You bring a life into this world so small
A fragile flame that needs it all
But your hands are empty your heart’s not whole

[Chorus]
Not ready for the ride
Not ready for the fight
Some people shouldn’t try
If they can’t raise the light

[Verse 2]
The walls are thin the echoes loud
A crying voice gets lost in the crowd
You can’t fake love when you don’t know how

[Prechorus]
It’s not a game it’s not a dare
It’s not a dream you leave somewhere

[Chorus]
Not ready for the ride
Not ready for the fight
Some people shouldn’t try
If they can’t raise the light

[Bridge]
A child’s heart’s not made of stone
It’s not a house you leave alone
It needs the soil it needs the sun
Before the roots can ever run

Not Ready for the Ride

I created this and several other songs after watching the heinous story of a mother and her children being jumped by a bunch of bad ass children, her son's bullies 💔 😢. So I spoke out and written out lyrics from my thoughts of seeing several outlets speaking on the incident 💔 😢. 

(Lyrics)

[Verse]
A whisper in the silence it grows so loud
The shadows creep but they can't shroud
A mother's love a shield so strong
Through every storm it pulls them along

[Prechorus]
The night may stretch its endless hand
But hope ignites where they stand

[Chorus]
A light in the darkness it won't fade away
Through the cold and the chaos it will stay
A mother and her children rise
The stars reflect in their unyielding eyes

[Verse 2]
The world can tremble the ground can break
But hearts like theirs refuse to shake
Their laughter cuts through the thickest night
A beacon shining fierce and bright

[Prechorus]
No chains can hold what love has freed
Together they are all they need

[Chorus]
A light in the darkness it won't fade away
Through the cold and the chaos it will stay
A mother and her children rise
The stars reflect in their unyielding eyes

 [Choir Sings] 
(A Light in the darkness)

[Chorus]
A light in the darkness it won't fade away
Through the cold and the chaos it will stay
A mother and her children rise
The stars reflect in their unyielding eyes

[Climatic Upbeat Gospel]
A Light in the darkness
A Light in the darkness
A Light in the darkness 
A Light in the darkness
A Light in the darkness
A Light in the darkness
A Light in the darkness

[Outro with choir]
A mother and her children rise

I originally was going to put this song on another project, but felt it would be better to close out this project.

[Lyrics]

[Verse]
When the sky turns black and the winds start to howl
When the world feels heavy like a broken vow
We stand as one
No matter how far we fall

[Prechorus]
The storm may rage
The night may bite
But hand in hand
We hold on tight

[Chorus]
It's all about family
Through thick and thin
Through every loss
Every fight
Every win
When the ground shakes
When the walls cave in
We stay together
Through thick and thin

[Verse 2]
The laughter fades
The tears start to stream
Life’s a wild ride
Not a perfect dream
But our roots run deep
Like an endless seam

[Prechorus]
The road may bend
The light may dim
But we never break
We never give in

[Chorus]
It's all about family
Through thick and thin
Through every loss
Every fight
Every win
When the ground shakes
When the walls cave in
We stay together
Through thick and thin
