Endless Summer
Thirty-eight degrees, the asphalt shining
Radio cranked, no need for timing
Cone in my hand before it’s noon
Summer’s got me singing out the tune

Velvet Illusions
The room is a tomb and the sheets are drawn tight While the rain hits the sill in the dead of the night One little spark is the only thing left Dreaming of you, and a heart that’s bereft I’m tossing and turning, a ghost in this bed Chasing a sleep that has long ago fled I might not always hold the line But as long as the stars are aligned to shine Don’t you doubt, don’t you drift away You’re the gravity holding my world in play It’s never over, it’s a cycle, a sting A kingdom I’d trade for the touch of a wing Just a kiss on her shoulder, the curve of her grace All of my gold for the light in her face It’s never over, let the ivory burn For the laughter and lessons I’m destined to learn Velvet Illusions is keeping me hold The tear that hangs frozen deep in my soul If you ever left, well, the clocks would still chime But the world would be hollow, a waste of my time Such a waste of time So lean a bit closer, catch what I say Like children in slumber, let’s drift far away The moon is a fever, a pale, rising fire Let’s dance in the glow of a midnight desire It’s never over, it’s a cycle, a sting A kingdom I’d trade for the touch of a wing Just a kiss on her shoulder, the curve of her grace All of my gold for the light in her face It’s never over, let the ivory burn For the laughter and lessons I’m destined to learn Velvet Illusions it’s keeping me warm The tear that hangs frozen deep in my soul Step out of time step into the night Shadows are bright when the rhythm is right It’s never over, it’s a cycle, a sting A kingdom I’d trade for the touch of a wing Just a kiss on her shoulder, the curve of her grace All of my gold for the light in her face It’s never over It’s never over, it’s a cycle, a sting A kingdom I’d trade for the touch of a wing Just a kiss on her shoulder, the curve of her grace All of my gold for the light in her face It’s never over, let the ivory burn For the laughter and lessons I’m destined to learn Velvet Illusions, dreaming of you only you Let’s drift away
Split In Two
It’s gotta be true, it’s gotta be true Late night, thinking it through What am I supposed to do? You’re waiting for a sign But I’m stuck behind the line Heart says yes, mind says no I’m just not ready to go My heart is calling out your name But my head won't play the game Too early to fall Too soon to give it all When my head trusts my heart Then we can make a start Right now I’m missing you But I’m split in two Yeah, I’m split in two! Don’t think I don’t feel the sting Of every little thing But the fear is in the way Of what I want to say Time is moving fast Will this feeling last? When my head trusts my heart Then we can make a start Right now I’m missing you But I’m split in two Yeah, I’m split in two! When my head trusts my heart Then we can make a start Right now I’m missing you But I’m split in two Yeah, I’m split in two! I gotta let you go Gotta take it slow Until the mind and the soul Finally feel whole! When my head trusts my heart Then we can make a start Right now I’m missing you But I’m split in two Yeah, I’m split in two! When my head trusts my heart Then we can make a start Right now I’m missing you But I’m split in two It’s gotta be true Keep you right there in my pocket Don’t stop the groove
Divided
[Everything's better yeah One day you’re high, then you’re feeling the blue I’m acting crazy, then I’m looking for you We’re miles apart or we’re locked in a room But I feel the spark in the middle of the gloom No, we don't need a golden chain To keep us dancing in the rain I’ll be the rhythm, you be the soul Together we’re losing all the control Everything is better when it's divided by two Whatever the weather, I’m sharing the view Love or the sorrow, it’s all about trust Yeah, everything's better when it's divided by us! Divided by us Sometimes we’re lost, then we’re finding the way Forget all the words that we wanted to say Drunk on a feeling or just hanging 'round We’re building a castle on this common ground Like the moon in the sky, you’re always there Even in silence, you’re the breath in my air I hear your echo, I feel the beat You make the melody finally complete! Everything is better when it's divided by two Whatever the weather, I’m sharing the view Love or the sorrow, it’s all about trust Yeah, everything's better when it's divided by us! Everything is better when it's divided by two Whatever the weather, I’m sharing the view Love or the sorrow, it’s all about trust Yeah, everything's better when it's divided by us! Divided by us It's just a little bit bette
Bitter Pill
[You got me hooked on the bitter pill Yeah, standing still I stare at the cracks in the bathroom glass Watching my promises shatter and pass I swore I was done, said I never would fall But the taste of your touch keeps me breaking it all The doctor says I’m breathing fine But I’m losing control line after line I know it’s a poison I shouldn’t refill But I’m chasing the taste, yeah I’m chasing it still You got me hooked on the bitter pill I run from the rush but I want the thrill You give me the fire, you give me the chill I’m ready to run but I’m standing still They say that I’m distant, I’m losing my frame Dancing in circles, I’m playing your game I’m caught in the echoes you left in my head Drowning in words that were never well said The doctor says I’m breathing fine But I’m losing control line after line I know it’s a poison I shouldn’t refill But I’m chasing the taste, yeah I’m chasing it still You got me hooked on the bitter pill I run from the rush but I want the thrill You give me the fire, you give me the chill I’m ready to run but I’m standing still Tell me it’s fake, tell me it’s staged Tell me I’m trapped in a love that’s caged I cover the damage in velvet and gold Selling a story that’s already sold You got me hooked on the bitter pill I run from the rush but I want the thrill You give me the fire, you give me the chill I’m ready to run but I’m standing still Standing still in the dead of the night Holding the dark while I’m calling it light I fell for the trap and I swallowed it whole Now you’re the habit that’s taking control
The Space Between
Two best friends, yeah they know it all They’re always there to catch the fall No secrets kept, no lies to tell They know each other way too well Sitting close on a Friday night Everything feels just about right But there’s a look in the eye sometimes Between the talk and between the lines A little spark that they both ignore But they still can hide it for some more It’s the space between, it’s the quiet part It’s the beat they skip in a heavy heart More than a friend but they keep it cool Walking the line, breaking every rule Yeah, it’s a beautiful thing, the space between The finest vibe that’s never been seen They text for hours about their day They know the words before they say Complete surrender, totally free That’s the way it’s supposed to be But then a silence lasts too long Like the ending of a favorite song It’s the space between, it’s the quiet part It’s the beat they skip in a heavy heart More than a friend but they keep it cool Walking the line, breaking every rule They don't need to touch to feel the heat They don't need to talk to be complete It’s safe and sound, it’s a solid ground But the sweetest tension is what they found It’s the space between, it’s the quiet part It’s the beat they skip in a heavy heart More than a friend but they keep it cool Walking the line, breaking every rule Yeah, it’s a beautiful thing, the space between The finest love that’s never been seen
The Deep End
Sink or swim Let’s take the dive I’m not afraid anymore Woke up to the sound of a closing door And a ghost of a note on the hardwood floor She found a brand new rhythm, a different beat Left me standing solo on a one-way street My mind was a wreck, just a broken machine So the doctor prescribed me a change of scene Boarded a bird, chased the sun out west With a glass in my hand and a weight on my chest Watching the tide from a safe distance away Until she emerged through the salt and the spray "The blue is calling, are you coming inside?" But I’m a landlocked soul with a place to hide I’ll stay on the sand where the ground is still The ocean is a beast I’ve got no desire to kill ‘Cause I’m terrified of the deep end, babe Where the secrets hide beneath every wave I’m scared of the shadows I can’t quite see Afraid that the blue's gonna swallow me Yeah, I’m a shoreline heart in a deep sea world Just a boy afraid of the water... until I met that girl Day two on the balcony, watching the glow When she rose from the foam like a late-night show Dripping in silver, she walked to my door A scent of wild jasmine I’d met once before She held out a hand, didn't say a word I told her the story of the danger I’d heard She whispered: "I’ll be your anchor, I’ll be your light" "The water’s only cold till you get the rhythm right" Yeah, I’m terrified of the deep end, babe Where the secrets hide beneath every wave I’m scared of the shadows I can’t quite see Afraid that the blue's gonna swallow me I was a shoreline heart in a deep sea world Just a boy afraid of the water... until I met that girl Fast forward the tape, fifteen years on the clock My shadow is tall, standing there on the dock My boy’s at the edge, eyes wide with the fear Looking at a girl as the currents draw near She dives like a diamond, he’s frozen in stone I whispered: "Son, I was there... you are never alone." We’re all terrified of the deep end, babe Where the secrets hide beneath every wave Don’t fear the shadows you can’t quite see Don't let the blue swallow your legacy I was a shoreline heart in a deep sea world Just a boy afraid of the water... until I met your mother Sink or swim Just take the dive... I’m not afraid anymore.

Little Things
It’s the little things in life I don’t wake up every morning Singing hello to the sun Some days it feels like rain But I still try to carry on When the sky turns stormy grey I close my eyes and I remind myself How beautiful it is to be alive It’s the little things that help When you look beneath the surface You see the blessings every day I say thank you for my bed The roof over my head It’s the little things in life That put it all in perspective The air I breathe, the eyes that see My heart still beats inside of me It’s a long ol’ ride, yeah If you’re never satisfied So it don’t hurt to try To find the little things in life I don’t always feel like myself But I’m learning to love me anyway That old black dog still follows But my friends and I, we find a way A smile, a kind word in the dark That’s all we need to spark the light ‘Cause in the quiet I realize The little things make everything alright The roof over my head It’s the little things in life That put it all in perspective The air I breathe, the eyes that see My heart still beats and it’s beating free It’s a long ol’ ride, yeah If you’re never satisfied So it don’t hurt to try To find the little things in life Thank you for the morning light Thank you for another night This crazy life is still so real Can you feel it? Yeah, I feel it too It’s the little things in life That put it all in perspective The air I breathe, the eyes that see My heart still beats, it’s beating for me It’s a long ol’ ride, but I choose to smile I’m gonna be satisfied It don’t hurt to try To find the little things in life The little things in life t’s the little things Yeah, the little things Keep me alive Thank You
Twenty Four
Too little, too late, baby Yeah, check it out How many times did I have to plead When you gonna take me where I need to be It was always: No time, baby, I’m broke Wait 'til my paycheck comes, man, what a joke But now that I finally slammed the door And told you I don't live here anymore Suddenly you see the light So no, I don't need your bouquet You should’ve been this bold yesterday Back when you were still mine Now you’re just wasting my time You took my love for granted Never did what I wanted Now you’re waking up to the cost Only 'cause you know that you lost! They say regret always comes too late Keep your flowers, I’ma close the gate Just like that box of chocolates on the floor Baby, we’ve been expired since 'twenty-four Twenty four If I had a dollar for every excuse For why you couldn't show up and be of use I’d be living in a penthouse with a view Far away from memories of you It’s funny how you finally understand You had a diamond sitting in your hand But you waited just a second too long So no, I don't need your bouquet You should’ve been this bold yesterday Back when you were still mine Now you’re just wasting my time You took my love for granted Never did what I wanted Now you’re waking up to the cost Only 'cause you know that you lost Regret always comes too late Keep your flowers, I’ma close the gate Just like that box of chocolates on the floor Baby, we’ve been expired since 'twenty-four No water for those roses No sugar for those sweets You’re a day late and a dollar short, honey One, two, three, hit it Regret always comes too late Keep your flowers, I’ma close the gate Just like that box of chocolates on the floor Baby, we’ve been expired since 'twenty-four Expired Expired Take 'em back to the shop, baby
Break Of Dawn
Yeah Last call put it on my tab Stars still burning in a velvet sky While the city lulls a neon lullaby Empty streets, pale lamplights glow Just two shades with nowhere left to go Midnight walking, the air is cold and thin Waiting for the morning to let the logic in Words lose their weight when the sun is down I feel you near, the only soul in town Trying not to think about the ticking clock The morning light is a heavy, heavy shock You’ll be gone, and I’ll be left right here Numb and hollow, watching you disappear When the morning comes, I’m back on my own Left to face the day, standing all alone Every time, baby at the break of dawn I wake up to find the magic is gone Yeah, I’m all alone. Weak and unwise, I let the guard fall down The kind of secrets that usually drown Melting in your arms, I fail to see the why The sunrise always has a different set of eyes It changes the colors, it breaks the hazy spell Leaving me with nothing but a story to tell When the morning comes, I’m back on my own Left to face the day, standing all alone Every time, baby at the break of dawn I wake up to find the magic is gone Love or leave it’s a senseless game I’m with or without you, but it feels the same How do I stop? How do I get out the door? Don’t play with my heart not anymore In joy or sadness... I'm on my own Yes Yeah
Go On!
Hear the answer in the glass History keeps repeating Hear the answer Day or night, it’s way too late Every time I try again When am I gonna learn from my mistakes This bed feels cold and empty Hear the answer Freedom cuts just like a stone I said goodbye to love Now I’m dancing with the music in my soul I hear it whispering in the glass against my ear I hear it, I hear it, somebody calling clear Go on, go on Hear the answer in the glass tonight Go on, go on Even if I’m flying solo, it’s alright In this hotel I’m never alone Walls are talking, beds are moaning low Happiness might not be mine to own But I got this rhythm, so let’s go Girls in the magazine Hear the answer ask me what I want tonight But this is all I really need A bottle and a song to hold me tight Happiness is a hammock in the sun Just lying there in sweet, empty peace But me? I’d rather feel the beat Pour another one and move my feet! I hear it whispering in the glass against my ear I hear it, I hear it, somebody calling clear Go on, go on Hear the answer in the glass tonight Go on, go on Even if I’m flying solo, it’s alright In this hotel I’m never alone The whole damn room is singing my song Happiness might not be mine to own But this feeling right here turns me on All men are brothers, so they say But I’d rather be alone yeah I’d rather be alone All men are brothers, so they say But tonight I’m good on my own Still I hear you calling Go on, go on Hear the answer in the glass tonight Go on, go on Even when the morning feels far away History keeps repeating, but I flip the page I got the music, I got the night Happiness might pass me by But baby, this groove feels so right Go on, go on In the glass… yeah I’d rather be alone but not tonight Go on go on Go on
Seven Years
The towers are gold, but the streets are cold Exactly like the stories that the elders told Trump’s building a fort, while the time is short Justice is just another losing sport The borders are closed, we’re locked in a room While our children are playing in a digital gloom See the kids in the line, they’re out of their mind Looking for a world that we left behind While the leaders are talking 'bout a holy war We forgot what we’re even fighting for It’s the first of the seven lean years Try to find a way through the salt and the tears The bank is dry and the winter is long But we’re still here, and we’re still strong Beyond the dust, beyond the gray The seven fat years are a heartbeat away Yeah, the wheel is gonna turn, it’s a brand new day The price of the bread is hitting the sky While they look us straight in the blinking eye Feeding us lies on a flickering screen The dirtiest game that I’ve ever seen Yeah, one man’s wall is another man’s cage It’s the final act on a broken stage I don’t want your war I don’t want your wall You’re building a cage for us all Stop the profit, stop the hate Before it’s way too late It’s the first of the seven lean years Try to find a way through the salt and the tears The bank is dry and the winter is long But we’re still here, and we’re still strong Beyond the dust, beyond the gray The seven fat years are a heartbeat away Yeah, the wheel is gonna turn, it’s a brand new day Seven years just seven years Seven, seven years Seven years just seven years Seven years Then the fat years come Wait for the turn it's coming

Night Hawk
NIGHT HAWK Yo thats my cue Three hours sleep but im still coming through Alarm hits seven i just saw four Math in my head cant take no more Eyes half shut reaching for a drink Redbull breakfast helps me think Short nights long days welcome to my life Counting hours losing fights running through nights Short nights long days laugh it off thats my vibe Welcome welcome welcome to my life Short nights long days Welcome to my life Midnight strikes my thoughts still run Beats keep knocking rhymes weigh a ton Bed keeps calling but i just type Two am fire creative hype Short nights long days welcome to my life Counting hours losing fights running through nights Short nights long days laugh it off thats my vibe Welcome welcome welcome to my life Short nights long days Welcome to my life Caffeine king with a sleepless crown Eyes red hot but i wont drown Plans for sleep man they slip away Sun comes knocking still i pay Short nights long days welcome to my life Eyes wide open no end in sight Short nights long days laugh it off thats my vibe Welcome welcome welcome to my life Long days Welcome to my life Short nights long days Welcome to my life Short nights long days To my life Caffeine smile tired eyes but i rise Every dawns just a new surprise No regrets just a late night drive Thats my story thats my life Short nights long days Welcome to my life Counting hours losing fights Running through nights Short nights long days Laugh it off thats my vibe Welcome to my life Short nights long days Welcome to my life Short nights long days Welcome to my life
Out Of Sync
OUT OF SYNC Some days feel heavier than they should Old lines breaking through the skin Moments growing out of size The quiet’s never really kind People close but miles away Standing close but out of sync What felt solid overnight Starts to lean not wrong not right I don’t know where the balance goes When the answers shift and fold Trying not to lose my ground While the world turns upside down When everything I trusted starts to sway I don’t break I bend and find my way Life keeps shaking what I know And I grow stronger every time it shows I stopped fighting every sound Let the silence break me down Found some truth in letting go Fear don’t own me anymore Not every question needs a name Not every loss is built on blame What keeps moving teaches me I’m more than what I fail to see Some things fade without a sound Some things stay and turn me round I don’t chase what slips away I’m still here at end of day When everything I trusted starts to sway I don’t break I bend and find my way Life keeps shaking what I know And I grow stronger every time it shows If the ground keeps moving underneath I hold on to what I believe Not to stand where nothing bends But to rise when falling ends I don’t need the world to slow I don’t need to always know Every step still shapes my frame Even doubt can fuel the flame I’ve been lost and I’ve been sure Both were lessons nothing more What I carry what I drop Both decide how far I walk When everything I trusted starts to sway I don’t break I bend and find my way Life keeps shaking what I know And I grow stronger every time it shows Still I stand without a pose Still I grow from what I chose No applause no final sign Just a strength I call mine
Multitask Mode

Hey Google, play my groove, I'm not done yet I'm in multitask mode Living bold No coffee, still on overloads Chaos but it's gold Yeah, that's my code I'm in multitask mode From morning till I fold Don't need control I just rock and roll Don't need control I just rock and roll Don't need control Don't need control I just rock out

Mirrors
MIRRORS I walked past a window caught a glimpse of my face Thought I saw the younger me caught up in that place Before the scars before the stress before the panic attacks Before I learned that smiles can hide the deepest cracks Used to chase girls that needed fixin I was the bandage for their pain their broken youth Thought I was savin em but they just drained me Took my light twisted blame and then shamed me And my dad wasn't there ghosted my whole start Then came step pop good guy but drowned his heart In cheap liquor loud fights burned bridges at will Left me pickin up the pieces standin cold and still Mirrors in the street show a man thats been through fire But I ain't breakin down nah I'm climbin higher The past ain't gone it's right behind my eyes But I learned from the pain that's how I rise Work life man you don't even wanna know Pulled dead bodies from water saw flames glow Victims with no names faces that haunt Clocked out but trauma don't do what you want Kept grindin kept movin numbed out like a soldier But the panic came later anxiety took over Couldn't breathe heart racin in the middle of the night And nobody sees that fight when your mask looks right So I stopped for real took a year just to think To unpack all the shit that pushed me to the brink Sat with my demons looked em in the face Learned pain got a purpose it just moves at its pace Mirrors in the city show the war and the peace Both the chaos and calm I got a sweet release From all that pressure from all that noise Now I walk with my truth and I still hear my voice Yeah I stumbled yeah I fell but never out You can't fix the past but you can change your route That kid in the glass he did his best Now I'm older bolder and not impressed By fakes by games by sugarcoated lies I see through bullshit comes with wiser eyes Don't need applause don't need fake respect I just need peace and a little self respect So if you see your reflection and it makes you pause Just know every scar had a just cause This ain't regret it's revelation in disguise I walked through the fire and came out wise Mirrors don't lie they just show you what you needed to see

Too Chill To Kill
TOO CHILL TO KILL Yeah She said I was the crazy one. Funny how the ones who burn your house down always say you lit the match Play the beat I'm too chill to kill but damn I could Got trauma in the trunk like firewood She lit the flame, now I'm burnin' good Sayin' "I'm the problem?" yeah, I wish I would Too chill to kill but rage on deck My peace cost more than her drama check Phone keep ringin', I ghost that text 'Cause I don't play tag with a narcissist ex Yo She gaslit, guilt-tripped, faked that tear Told the world I was Satan, hold my beer Tried to fix her mess while I fixed my mind But her love came with a motherfkin' landmine Said I was cold, said I was gone But forgot I carried her when her whole world was wrong Always the hero till the credits rolled Then she flipped the script yeah, classic mold Every lie she told was an Oscar speech But the truth? That sht was outta reach She played TikTok judge in a trial of one Spoiler: the villain ain't me, hun I'm too chill to kill but damn I could Got trauma in the trunk like firewood She lit the flame, now I'm burnin' good Sayin' "I'm the problem?" yeah, I wish I would Too chill to kill but rage on deck My peace cost more than her drama check Phone keep ringin', I ghost that text 'Cause I don't play tag with a narcissist ex I was therapist, lover, Uber, chef While she played victim and flirted to death Had one foot in and the other on Tinder Heart like December cold-ass winter Said she healed, said she grew But couldn't spell "accountability" if it came with glue Everything's my fault, she swears While she dances through red flags like musical chairs Yo, I gave her time, gave her space She gave back lies and a scream in my face Now she out here twisting the tale But receipts don't lie got an archive full of mail Don't call me "crazy" 'cause I finally snapped You lit this fuse while I took your crap Don't say "he's bitter" nah, I'm free You're just mad I bounced with my dignity I'm too chill to kill but damn I could Got scars she branded like Hollywood Yeah, she talks like I ain't got proof But I kept it real, and she sold the spoof Too chill to kill, I'll take the win Left her chaos outside, never let it in I'm healed, I'm done, I'm out that mess No more phone calls from emotional stress Too chill to kill But I f*king could
Plastic Paradise
PLASTIC PARADISE Yeah She packed her lies and her fake-ass smile Then called me Satan, girl, that's wild She said I'm cold nah, I was calm Till she turned love into a ticking bomb Called me a narcissist, dead-eyed rat But who snapped first? Let's rewind that I popped pills just to stay on beat While she played boss in the judgment seat Fake lips, fake hips, fake hair, fake soul But somehow I'm the villain? Bruh, be bold She hated women, called 'em all hoes But watched 'em all like reality shows Took my butter, took the bread Even stole receipts from the fridge, dead Plastic paradise, drama on replay She called me Satan, then ran away Said I had no heart, no class, no tact Girl, you got more filters than facts Plastic paradise, Barbie with rage Trying to cage a lion, page by page She lost control, then lost the plot Now I'm the monster? Baby, I'm not I got three kids smart and kind She got Botox and a twisted mind Tried to parent my daughter like a drill sergeant Shouting old-school rules like a bootcamp sergeant I stayed calm even when she hit low Played victim online for the TikTok show "Empathie van een rat" her words, not mine But projection, babe, looks just fine She said karma was comin' for me But she forgot who wiped her tears for free I fixed her mess, chased her stuff for a year She thanked me by screamin' in my ear Plastic paradise, lies with flair Fake compassion, fake healthcare She posed sweet for the outside world But inside, she was a vengeful girl Plastic paradise, Botox blues Painted me evil just to excuse Her loss of grip, her loss of grace Now she calls it karma. I call it space You can dress it up, tuck it in, stretch it tight But fake don't last in the morning light You called me Satan But baby, I found peace without your chaos Plastic paradise, let it burn I won't look back, I won't return You called me names, tried to shame my face But I walk with truth and that's real grace Too real to fake, too chill to break You lost your grip I raised the stakes Now I'm gone, no drama, no plea Just me, myself, and finally free
Forecast: Finally Clear
FORECAST: FINALLY CLEAR Yeah Used to feel like a forecast on shuffle Now? Clear skies me and my girl, that's enough She had moods like a thundercloud, switchin' fast Could be sunshine at noon, by dinner a blast Couldn't plan a thing, never knew the tone Felt like livin' with a dice, rollin' unknown She said "we don't plan, it's just how we do" But "just milk from the store" turned into a whole afternoon If she saw someone talkin', she'd lose all track Then came back four hours later like what's the crack She snapped over iPad sounds from the kid But her own phone calls blasted through the fridge lid Talked to her sister for hours on end But peace and respect? Nah just pretend Forecast finally clear, no chaos near Just me and my daughter, no tension, no fear Used to tiptoe round her waves of rage Now we surf calm seas on a brand-new page Forecast finally clear, no drama zone No more punishments for cups not thrown She said I was soft, said I ain't real But I was just human, feelin' what I feel She said I never took her serious enough But I was puttin' out fires, daily stuff Daughter upstairs just to stay unseen While she ruled the house like a drama queen She called her tantrums "passion" I call that loud Like throwin' shadows and claimin' clouds Every convo turned courtroom fast And her truth? That was always the only one that could last Even my shrink said "This goes deep" But she said he's the one who needs therapy Facts bounce off like rubber to stone When self-reflection's stuck in airplane mode Forecast finally clear, we takin' flight No more yellin' over plans at night No stress, no guilt, no passive glare Just sunshine now peace in the air She lost her seat, but we kept the ride Vacation for two, nothin' to hide She cursed the trip, threw legal threats But I ain't losin' sleep or payin' regrets She wanted control I wanted peace Now she's gone and we got both Forecast finally clear, no rain, no fight Just beach days, laughs, and restful nights My daughter smiles that's all I need No more dodgin' storms, no more to plead Forecast finally clear, the skies restored Her chaos can't knock on this door She lost her grip we found our way And man, we can't wait for that getaway
12 Days In Hell
12 DAYS IN HELL Yeah They called it paradise Felt more like a tan colored prison with a breakfast buffet She said let’s go exotic, wild and hot! I said “Europe?” she said baby Egypt’s got the spot! All inclusive dome, sunblock in hand Me and my daughter sweatin’ through the sand Hotel was nice, not gonna lie But step past the gate and you'd rather die Outside the wall? Mad Max scene Dust, chaos, beggars nightmare routine She sizzled like steak from dawn to dark While I melted slow on that poolside park Daughter in the pool, havin’ her blast While I baked like bread 40° on the dash Twelve days in hell yeah, Sahara deluxe Sunburned hope and vacation struck Said it’d be fun, said it’d be chill But I just found out what boredom can kill Twelve days in hell sunscreen and screams Livin’ that sweaty all-inclusive dream She slept in the sun, I cursed in the shade Best moment? Jeep ride the only upgrade Day trip to town? That’s a no from me Felt like Gotham with no plan B Kids pullin’ my shirt, daughter in fright Me yellin’ let’s bounce like: get outta sight She loved it though, livin’ her best While I looked for shade and ice on my chest She said stop whinin’ called me a clown But ten minutes later, she’s passed out brown No talk, no vibe, no vacay flow Just her in a coma by the sunbed row I tried a book, I tried a drink But mostly I sat there just tryna think Twelve days in hell with a poolside view Same plate of rice, same ocean too She snored, I sighed, my girl swam free But man this wasn’t the vacay for me Twelve days in hell felt like a trial Just give me France or Spain with style She’s got her sons now, go roast with them Me and my girl? We pack joy, not phlegm. She said it’s not that hot, don’t be weak While my skin said bro, evacuate this week I said let’s do things, let’s walk, explore She said later babe then snored some more Twelve days in hell but we made it back No sand, no sweat, no sun attack I book the trips now, Europe on deck No more drama, no sunstroke check Twelve days in hell now that’s the past Me and my girl? Travelin’ fast To fun, to peace, to chill that lasts While she fries her life on desert gas
Back From The Past
BACK FROM THE PAST 1992 I was sixteen, she was fourteen Backseat romance, rollercoaster dream Then poof! gone like a subplot scene But flash forward she came back on screen Met her young, park ride thrill Motorbike, good vibes, teenage feel Laughin' with her and her bestie too Double date vibes, nothin' we wouldn't do Then life got real family broke Mom's unstable, system spoke She vanished fast, like "cut the tape" I blinked twice she'd left the state Thirty-eight years like a movie roll Different paths, chapters untold I had boys, then a baby girl She had kids, her own swirl And then one night boom fate hits back Saw her name pop up on a Facebook ad Dance event, clicked like: "could it be?" Next message: "Hey... remember me?" She came back from the past, looked like fate First love, last love, twistin' the gate We linked, we clicked, it moved so fast But not every fairytale is built to last She came back from the past, feelin' right But the shine wore off when day turned night Destiny knocked, but damn, it cracked Sometimes ghosts come back... to attack Started sweet, like love on fire I helped her through that ex-retire Retrieved her things, held her down Built her back when her world spun round But drama came with every breath Cats got sick, emotions stretched Rollercoaster vibe, no seatbelt tight From dawn to dusk, then fight at night She changed her body, changed her face Chased perfection at breakneck pace Said "it's hormones," I said "maybe" But her moods turned warlike daily Tried to talk, tried my way But if it wasn't hers, I had no say My girl was tense, escaped upstairs 'Cause love ain't love if the house breeds scares She came back from the past, looked like fate First love, last love, twistin' the gate We linked, we clicked, it moved so fast But not every fairytale is built to last She came back from the past and yeah, that's wild But I'm no longer that sixteen child It felt like fate, but now I know Some doors re-open just to say "no" She came back from the past but I'm done Chapter's closed now lookin' at the sun Sometimes love don't age like wine But I got out in time
Just The Two Of Us (Again)
JUST THE TWO OF US (AGAIN) You came into my world and flipped the whole script And I've been better ever since. You were barely two When your mom packed up and said we're through I held you close, didn't know what to do But I knew one thing I'd never leave you And now you're ten ten going on wise With that sparkle of truth behind your eyes You draw, you build, you dream, you glow You come home like: "Look what I made!" And I'm like… Whoa Just the two of us again, just like before We've been through storms and we've walked through doors From teardrops to sunshine, all that we've done I raised a queen, I'm a father and a mom in one Remember our dog? Grew up by your side We both cried when he closed those eyes Held your hand in that goodbye room You were brave so young, but you bloomed And then that day you got your cat Smiling so big, couldn't top that I watched you hold her, heart so full And I thought damn, this girl's beautiful Mallorca '22, just us on the flight Your suitcase bigger than your height Carried bags like a little boss Wiped your brow like This heat's a loss We walked the boulevard, hand in hand You soaked it up like soft white sand Pool, buffet, the beach, the breeze I swear we lived those days with ease Just the two of us again, no fear Built a bond that no storm could clear From scraped knees to carry-on flights You've been my left and my right Just the two of us through every test I may be tired, but I feel so blessed You're the heart of this home, my light, my guide And I'm just so proud you're on my side I see myself in your humor In your sense of justice Even your teacher said: She's got more heart than most grown-ups And I just smiled 'Cause I know Your brothers? I miss 'em too Strong young men, doing what they do They've got their lives, their jobs, their tracks But my pride for them? It never slacks Still I wish I saw 'em more But that's just how grown life roars And here we are you and me Making every day our symphony Just the two of us again, it's true I never asked for this life, but I'm glad it's you No regrets, no looking back You're my miracle and that's a fact Just the two of us still going strong Through every right and every wrong And I'll be here always, that's my plan Just the two of us again
Her Rules, My Regrets
HER RULES MY REGRETS This one's not about palm trees or paradise It's about what happens when love turns into law At first it was cool she smiled so sweet But control came in like summer heat Didn't ask didn't shout didn't raise alarms She just rewrote the rules with her silent charm Had friends both ladies and gents But she scanned my world like a border fence "Who's that chick?" "Oh her? Just Claire" "Well I don't like her face or her stupid hair" Said a mom from school was "a thirsty hoe" Just 'cause she smiled when we said hello Every woman I'd known since way back when Suddenly labeled as "trash" or "them" Her rules my regrets I forgot myself in her silhouette Bit my tongue just to keep the peace But I lost my soul for a false release Her rules my regrets kept my thoughts in a private net Now I breathe where no leash can cling And I walk with my own damn swing Used to talk 'bout my day casual stuff Then came the side-eyes subtle and tough "Why'd she say that?" "Why'd she ask you that?" "Tell that nosy btch to mind her chat!" So I started trimming the truth at night Hiding stories just to avoid a fight Social me turned lowkey ghost 'Cause drama always came from what I loved most I ain't no saint I've made bad calls Wrong lovers wrong falls wrong late-night brawls But never have I felt so split inside Loving her while my peace just died Her rules my regrets gave her keys to my mindset She spoke in storms I stayed so calm But calm don't fix what feels so wrong Her rules my regrets changed my smile to silhouette Tried to fit in her iron mold But I ain't built to be controlled She said it was trauma Said it made her strong But strength doesn't mean you get to break others I bent I folded I cracked But I never broke And I never will again No more rules no more chains I walk free in sun or rain She can keep her world of war I'm done fighting love like it's a chore Her rules my regrets they fade with every sunset I got me I got peace I got grace And a new love will know my face
Issues
ISSUES Yeah, you know how it goes Some folks call it "love" I call it micromanage mode Let's ride Met a girl, smooth start, vibe was tight First year sweet, everything felt right But little did I know, behind that grin Was a rulebook waitin' to kick in Had a homegirl, been friends for years She hit hard times, life in arrears I stepped in, gave a hand, no shame But my girl flipped out like I cursed her name "Why she text you?" " Why she smile like that?" "She took off her shoes?!" yo, what's with that? "She's too close," "I don't like her tone" Girl, she just asked if I'm home alone! She called it caring I call it control She ran my world like she ran a patrol My friends turned ghosts, one by one Under her radar, the fun was done She called it caring I call it a trap Wrapped in "love" with a jealous slap Now I'm free, hoodie on, breeze in my ride No drama, no rules, just peace inside Birthday came, she brought the storm Friend gave a hoodie my favorite form And a cologne? Yo, that scent was tight But girl flipped out like it lit a fight "Throw it away! You ain't wearin' that stink" "Tell that witch I said thanks not!" wink It was wild, I stayed cool, took the heat But inside I knew this ain't elite One by one, my world got small Had to tiptoe just to text or call She didn't trust me, didn't trust them But trust ain't love when it feels like a hem She called it caring I call it control She ran my vibe like a strict parole No room to move, no air to grow She dimmed my light and stole my glow She called it caring I call it jail I bailed myself out without no bail Now I cruise with peace, no "who dat?" tone No rules in my house, just me alone Look If love got rules like a TV guide That ain't passion, that's homicide I need smiles, hugs, not courtroom fights So I packed my truth, and caught my flight So here's my tip for the next you meet If they check your phone more than your heartbeat RUN We cruisin' now
She Left Her There
SHE LEFT HER THERE Some people say "love the kids" But when it's time to show it… they vanish Let me tell you how my day started normal And ended with clarity Saturday mornin', sun's burnin' bright I'm in the shower, wakin' up right She's downstairs, scrollin' her feed My daughter's on the couch, fightin' to breathe Air thick like soup, heat hit like fire My girl got asthma it's no liar She's ten years old, small frame, big heart But when attacks hit it rips her apart She looked at my girl, strugglin' there Asked, "Can you grab my puffer, I need some air" And what did she say? I still can't believe "You can get it yourself," then she got up to leave Out to the garden, phone in hand While my kid crawled inch by inch through the sand Ten minutes of panic, ten minutes of tears While "Miss Empathy" scrolls with invisible ears She left her there can you believe that? Scrollin' TikTok while my girl fought back No care, no shame, no soul, no sound Left a child gaspin' while chillin' outside lounge She left her there that's the truth, no flair And when I heard it, man, I froze in the air That's the day my heart hit the floor And I knew I'd let that woman in too far I came down, heard the story unfold My daughter lookin' hurt, brave but cold She said, "Dad, she just let me cry Didn't even care if I lived or died" She told the truth, didn't twist no facts Said it clean no drama, no act Then she stood up, like a soldier small Said, "Why she call me lazy through it all?" "She said I play too much, don't move around But I see her scrollin' with her body laid down" I looked at her damn, I was proud That little voice just roared out loud Told her: "You did right, girl, stand your ground Don't let no one push your fire down" She went upstairs to get dressed and breathe While her words stayed burnin' under my sleeve She left her there for real, no game When a kid needs love, that's a whole new shame She could've reached out, just one small act But chose her phone over love that's fact She left her there no excuse, no grace When I told her she cracked, rage on her face Threw her vape, stormed out to flee Guess the truth don't fit who she wants to be She said I was wrong for sayin' I'm proud That our daughter spoke up and stood out loud But if your ego breaks 'cause a child spoke sense Then girl, it ain't love, it's just pretense She left her there can't erase that scene She broke the bond for a dopamine screen And my daughter? She blamed herself Till I showed her truth and rebuilt her health She left her there and that was the sign I drew the line, said "She'll never be mine" 'Cause love don't leave a kid in despair Nah She left her there
A New Era
A NEW ERA It started like a movie Flashbacks in my mind Met her on a beat Thought love would be kind Sunsets Promises Sweet nothings too But then reality hit And it wasn't that cute At first it was jokes Little playful debates But soon came the lists And heavy complaints She had rules for my kid Rules for me Rules for when we breathe Seriously One hot morning Thirty-five degrees My girl gaspin' for breath Beggin' help me please Ex on her phone Outside in the sun While my child crawled slow Wheezin' undone Asked for her puffer Just outta reach She said do it yourself Then sipped her peach No shame No move Just scroll and tap That was the moment Snap goes the trap No more stress No more pain We cleanin' out the past Ain't playin' no games Just me and peace In my domain This era's got sunshine Not hurricanes A new era A new era She came with a monologue List in her grip All about my kid Like she's captain of the ship Said I lacked rules Needed to be tough But I raise my child With love That's enough You let her use an iPad During TV time Yo that ain't a felony That's called unwind Tried to guilt-trip me With grown-up logic But forgot She herself was toxic She packed her stuff Like a moving storm Took the butter The plants Even half the coins Said she had chest pain Messaged in caps But I googled symptoms She failed that trap No how's your girl Not one damn line Just drama Vape clouds And dollar sign whines We walked back in Home cold as a vault Looked like a burglary And it wasn't my fault No more stress No more pain We cleanin' out the past Ain't playin' no games Just me and peace In my domain This era's got sunshine Not hurricanes A new era A new era Now it's chillin' in flip-flops Cold drinks No guilt Vacay vibes Fresh air Zero built From wreckage to refuge Just me and my scene House clean Fridge full And vibes supreme

First Day Weekend
FIRST DAY WEEKEND We said one drink, one look, one little hello No big plan, no pressure, just see where it goes You walked in and the room got quiet My head said easy but my heart went wild We came from nowhere but it felt like known Like I found your number written in my bones We had one question hanging in the air If the mind feels home, will the body meet it there? Then your eyes met mine and the answer came through One simple Friday turned into me and you First day weekend, we were only meant to meet Now your shoes by the door got the whole world feeling sweet First day weekend, one night became two I came looking for a moment then I found my way to you Found my way to you Home on a first date, that ain't how it's done But trust moved faster than the setting sun No expectations, no games to play Just two real people letting walls give way The doors swung open and the picture was right Your smile hit soft like a song in the night No strange silence, no nervous little show Just a click so clean we both had to know Should you stay over? We both knew the rule But leaving felt colder than breaking it too So we let the night breathe, let the hours bend A first little date became a weekend First day weekend, we were only meant to meet Now your shoes by the door got the whole world feeling sweet First day weekend, one night became two I came looking for a moment and I found my way to you Found my way to you First day weekend changed our whole world First day weekend, my girl, my girl Saturday morning, no goodbye in sight Tired eyes shining from a sleepless night We hit the park like we done it for years Laughing through the noise, holding back happy tears No mask, no shame, no trying too hard Just you being you with your hand on my heart Rides kept turning but time stood still A simple little date became something real Can this be real? Can it move this fast? Can a brand new love feel older than the past? We were tired but we didn't let go Back to the house, back into the glow One more night, one more yes One more reason to forget the rest First day weekend, we were only meant to meet Now your shoes by the door got the whole world feeling sweet First day weekend, one night became two I came looking for a moment and you changed the world for me Changed the world for me First day weekend, no end just start First day weekend, you walked in and moved my heart!

Signals
SIGNALS Let's talk about flipped signals You know, the ones that messing with your head One day love, next day dead Everyone knows a story like that She said I was sweet like a candy store Best she ever had, left her begging for more Said my smile was gold, like a Hollywood sign Now she's saying"nah, it was never that fine" Told her girls I was fire, the man of her dreams Now she's roasting & toasting in her social memes Yesterday king, today I'm the clown Man, these signals keep spinning me round She said"Forever" then she changed the lock She said"You're fire" then she called me mock She said"You're the king" now I'm the fool Yo girl, which signal is really you? Signals messing with my head One day love, next day dead Signals flip, can't break through Girl, I can't tell which one is you Then she flipped it, sharp like a knife Said my kisses were dry, like a sitcom wife Said my game was weak, like a phone on one bar But all those years, girl, you called me a star Said my hair was fake, like a knock-off chain Said my jokes were flat, like a warm champagne From"you're the one" to "never loved you" Girl, your mouth got more twists than a Rubik's cube She said"Forever" then she changed the lock She said"You're fire" then she called me mock She said"You're the king" now I'm the fool Yo girl, which signal's the real you? Signals messing with my head One day love, next day dead Signals flip, can't break through Girl, I can't tell which one is you If sweet talk's candy, then my teeth are gone If hate talk's truth, I was played all along One night hot, next night cold This love's reruns, same story told Was I really the prize, or the fool on display? Your words change colors like a mood ring day If love is a signal, yours fades too quick From love of my life to a dumb ass prick? Signals messing with my head One day love, next day dead Signals flip, can't break through Girl, I can't tell which one is you
Twin Flame
TWIN FLAME Summer breeze felt so right Same old jokes late night drives Didn’t plan it just aligned That was real for the time Summer breeze easy days Laughs came fast words felt safe We were good in simple frames That was still a kind of twinflame Met her when the world felt light Easy talks long summer nights Everything just seemed to flow Nothing deep we had to know But when questions hit the air About tomorrow being shared Different views different lanes Love needs more than matching flames Summer breeze can’t explain Why it worked but couldn’t stay Felt like fire felt like fate Till real life changed the game Summer breeze honest truth Some things burn but don’t hold roots We were bright we were brave That was still a kind of twinflame Same wavelength same routines Movies couches in between But the moment life got real Cracks appeared we couldn’t seal Old noise echoes from the past Drama moves way too fast When the weight begins to show You see what can’t be grown Summer breeze felt so right Two minds dancing in the light But when plans stepped into frame Only one could play that game Summer breeze let it go Not all sparks are meant to grow We were real not the same That was still a kind of twinflame Some connections feel so deep Till real life don’t match the beat Chemistry can start the fire But values take it higher Summer breeze fades away Good memories still remain Not a loss not a shame Just a chapter not a claim
Endless Summer
Endless Summer - Radio Edit Han Altena Thirty-eight degrees, the asphalt shining Radio cranked, no need for timing Cone in my hand before it's noon Summer's got me singing out the tune Sweat on my collar, don't mind the heat Flip-flops slapping on a concrete street Mango dripping down my wrist This kind of Tuesday, I won't resist Neighbors laughing, sprinklers spray Nobody's rushing, we lost the day Watch the ice cream sliding off the cone Melting faster than my phone It's the kind of heat that slows you down Turns a quiet street into a playground Thirty-eight and rising I don't want it gone Keep the fire burning Keep the good times on Sticky fingers, laughter in the crowd This the summer we've been dreaming 'bout Ooh, don't stop now Hold the sun a little longer Show me how Thirty-eight and rising We're alive Never letting go of summertime Cannonball splash, the pool's our stage Bare feet burning, we don't feel our age Cherry, coconut, pistachio too Melting rainbow dripping onto my shoe Porch light glowing when the sky turns pink Grab another cone before I think Watch the ice cream sliding off the cone Melting faster than my phone It's the kind of heat that slows you down Turns a quiet street into a playground Thirty-eight and rising I don't want it gone Keep the fire burning Keep the good times on Sticky fingers, laughter in the crowd This the summer we've been dreaming 'bout Ooh, don't stop now Hold the sun a little longer Show me how Thirty-eight and rising We're alive Never letting go of summertime If the calendar could just stand still Freeze this moment on the windowsill Every cone, every splash, every sound It's the closest thing to heaven I've found Don't stop, don't stop, stay right here Hold on to the ones you hold so dear Thirty-eight and rising I don't want it gone Keep the fire burning Keep the good times on Sticky fingers, laughter in the crowd This the summer we've been dreaming 'bout Ooh, don't stop now Hold the sun a little longer Show me how Thirty-eight and rising We're alive Never letting go of summertime Thirty-eight degrees Don't want it gone Keep it going
