[Verse] Lullaby queen, blue eyes beam electric, Spittin' fire tougher than a T-Rex, she next. Mama's mini-me, sparkles in the sunlight, Future so bright, outshine the moonlight, ignite. [Verse 2] Hadley on the block, runnin' through the sandbox, Talkin' to the birds, she fly, no Verb. Toddler with swagger, toddler with the flame, Destined for greatness, she'll rewrite the game. [Chorus] Hadley, baby, shine so crazy, Eyes like the ocean, waves they lazy. Mama's mirror, heart so pure, She gon' conquer, life's allure. [Bridge] Day one, dynamo, energy colossal, Mama's smile, daddy's pride, pure gospel. Giggles like a melody, sweet symphony, In a world so gray, she the remedy. [Verse 3] Bedtime stories turn to rap cyphers, She noddin' to the beat, natural lifer. Schoolyard queen, academics on lock, Brains and beauty, she the whole stock. [Chorus] Hadley, baby, shine so crazy, Eyes like the ocean, waves they lazy. Mama's mirror, heart so pure, She gon' conquer, life's allure.

[Verse] Woke up this morning, sun a-shinin' bright, Got a reason to celebrate, feels just right. All our friends are gatherin' in the town square, For a special day that's beyond compare. [Verse 2] There's balloons and streamers hangin' in the trees, Sweet little birds singin' melodies. Today’s about you, Melina, it's your special day, So let’s raise a cheer, hip-hip hooray! [Chorus] Oh, happy birthday, Melina, you light up our lives, Like the star atop the tree, see how you shine. We’ve got cake and candles, wishes in the air, On this bright and sunny day, dreams everywhere. [Verse 3] Folks are bringin' dishes, potluck style, Everyone’s a-grinnin’, can’t help but smile. Kids runnin’ 'round, laughter fills the skies, Melina, you make our hearts rise. [Chorus] Oh, happy birthday, Melina, you light up our lives, Like the star atop the tree, see how you shine. We’ve got cake and candles, wishes in the air, On this bright and sunny day, dreams everywhere. [Bridge] So let's dance and sing, let joy take flight, Under these big ol' stars tonight. Melina, may your dreams all come true, Today we celebrate wonderful you!

[Verse] Happy birthday, Leona, the cool sea breeze in your hair, From New Zealand shores, with love in the air. Today we celebrate, as the waves kiss the land, A brandy in hand, for memories so grand. [Verse 2] The ocean full of blessings, joy on this special day, Friends and laughter echo, across the blue bay. We gather 'round the fire, under the southern sky, As twilight falls gently, with stars twinkling high. [Chorus] Happy birthday, my dear friend, Leona, cheers to you, Underneath the Southern Cross, so true. May your days be filled with sunshine, and nights with peaceful dreams, Life's an ocean of blessings, nothing's as it seems. [Verse 3] We'll toast to adventures, as the tides ebb and flow, With every wave that crashes, our friendship will grow. From the mountains to the valleys, where the kiwi birds roam, In this land of wonder, you'll always have a home. [Bridge] So here's to the laughter, and here's to the tears, To the moments we treasure, and the stories through the years. Let's raise our glasses high, for the best is yet to come, Together forever, under the hot New Zealand sun. [Chorus] Happy birthday, my dear friend, Leona, cheers to you, Underneath the Southern Cross, so true. May your days be filled with sunshine, and nights with peaceful dreams, Life's an ocean of blessings, nothing's as it seems.

[Verse] Monday morning, chalk in hand, Mr. Fiduccia's got a lesson plan. Winged fighter of the open skies, Now teaching 'bout the birds and flies. [Verse 2] Kids all listen, eyes wide and bright, To tales of dogfights and biology tonight. Strumming chords on his old guitar, Hero in the classroom, shining star. [Chorus] Oh, Mr. Fiduccia, flyin' high, From the cockpit to the lab, reachin' for the sky. Singin' songs about rogue waves and dreams, Life’s a melody, more than it seems. [Verse 3] Afternoons, sun sets low, Teaching genes and where they go. Tornado turns and DNA winds, Stories from the sky leave 'em all in binds. [Verse 4] Jets in the heart, chalk on his hands, Mixing souls with science, life’s demands. From Blue Angels to classroom walls, Echoes of freedom in those halls. [Chorus] Oh, Mr. Fiduccia, flyin' high, From the cockpit to the lab, reachin' for the sky. Singin' songs about rogue waves and dreams, Life’s a melody, more than it seems.

Well, I walked into the coffee shop, ordered me a Joe, Barista asked, “Are you ‘big-boned’?” I said, “Man, I don’t know!” They got words for everything, like “calorically gifted,” Asked for a regular coffee, they looked like I’d been wicked. Oh, they got soft language, don’t you see, Everybody’s special, everybody’s free, No more callin’ it like it is, gotta speak delicately, I guess that’s how it’s gotta be, soft language for you and me. My neighbor's cat’s offended, can’t say “kitty” anymore, Gotta call it “feline friend” when it scratches at the door. Saw a cowboy at the rodeo, riding on a steer, Said, “Don’t call me a cowboy, my hobbies aren’t so clear.” Oh, they got soft language, don’t you see, Everybody’s special, everybody’s free, No more callin’ it like it is, gotta speak delicately, I guess that’s how it’s gotta be, soft language for you and me. Got a list of words that’ll make you shake, Can’t say “stupid,” “dumb,” or “flake.” Used to be “crazy,” “lazy,” too, Now it’s “mentally unique” and “motivation askew.” Went down to the park, saw a sign that made me laugh, “Please respect the birds, don’t call them daft.” Told me tales of cowpokes, who had it rough and tough, But now they got safe spaces ‘cause the world’s too rough. Oh, they got soft language, don’t you see, Everybody’s special, everybody’s free, No more callin’ it like it is, gotta speak delicately, I guess that’s how it’s gotta be, soft language for you and me. So I’ll sit here on my porch, with my old guitar, Singing ‘bout the days when folks knew who they are. If you’re offended, well, take a number, get in line, In this world of soft language, I’ll keep speakin’ my mind. Oh, they got soft language, don’t you see, Everybody’s special, everybody’s free, No more callin’ it like it is, gotta speak delicately, I guess that’s how it’s gotta be, soft language for you and me.

[Verse] Grandfather Henry’s got a way with words, He’s seen the world, got stories like birds. He starts with, "Let's put it this way," And you know what's co'min’ will take all day. [Verse 2] He'll say, "Long story short," with a twinkle in his eye, But you settle in, ‘cause it's gonna fly by. His tales are never brief, they're like a winding road, Full of twists and turns as his wisdom’s told. [Chorus] Long story short, it's never short at all, But I'd sit and listen, hear ‘em all. Grandpa’s got a treasure of yarns to spin, Full of life's lessons, where to begin? [Verse 3] He talks of the old days, simpler times, Harvests and heartaches, and hilltop climbs. Every tale’s a journey, a history book, He’s a living legend, if you take a look. [Verse 4] He fixes my problems with a steady hand, "Let's put it this way, you’re a grown-up man.” He’s a sage, a guide through thick and thin, With endless tales waiting to begin. [Chorus] Long story short, it's never short at all, But I'd sit and listen, hear ‘em all. Grandpa’s got a treasure of yarns to spin, Full of life's lessons, where to begin?

[Verse] Olli the Ostrich flex, neck long, cash strong, Cryptocoin wizard, feathers gold, publishin' songs, Money rains hard, sippin' drank outta diamond cup, Duck the broke haters, them skeet skeet puddles ain't enough. [Chorus] Stash in the talons, unlimited bank balance, Catchin' bags, bi-coastal moves always in silence, Makin' bread rise, baker's dozen pockets, pure gallant, Spittin' game hard, got the whole world off balance. [Verse 2] Feet swift on markets, crypto flows, double quick, Haters flappin' jaws, Olli flies, gettin' rich, Sunrise and sunset, talon grip on the sticks, Scramblin' ego checks, f*ck the poor jeets, full flicks. [Chorus] Stash in the talons, unlimited bank balance, Catchin' bags, bi-coastal moves always in silence, Makin' bread rise, baker's dozen pockets, pure gallant, Spittin' game hard, got the whole world off balance. [Verse 3] Hector’s honey, sweet money, birds buzz that melody, Paper stacked thick, Olli's pride, wealthy legacy, Runnin' the race, never slow, feathered felony, Hate if you want, Olli shines, laugh at jealousy. [Chorus] Stash in the talons, unlimited bank balance, Catchin' bags, bi-coastal moves always in silence, Makin' bread rise, baker's dozen pockets, pure gallant, Spittin' game hard, got the whole world off balance.

[Verse] Rah falling like autumn leaves, smoke rising with ease Headshot dreams, yeah, man can't deceive Sha, you yappin' 'bout notti, but not in the scene Talk big game, but action gets screened [Verse 2] Street whisper, smoke thicker than molasses Puffin' on that rah, head hits turn to ashes Hollow tips got 'em dozin' in the heat of clashes Words flat, reality smashing through glasses [Chorus] Rah gz in the sky, smoke 'em like a chimney Sha gz talk tough, reality’s an epiphany Not doing nothing, just keyboard symphony Action speaks louder than the words in the city [Verse 3] Notti tales, you folktale fail, myths from the frail Coppin' shadows, but you flop on the trail Headshots spin, leave 'em delicate, frail Talk is cheap when motion's in jail [Bridge] Bold words, empty stunts, y'all be bluffin' Reality check, them birds ain't flyin' or puffin' Gangsta dreams, livin' life nothin' Talk all you want, but action hits, no huffin' [Chorus] Rah gz in the sky, smoke 'em like a chimney Sha gz talk tough, reality’s an epiphany Not doing nothing, just keyboard symphony Action speaks louder than the words in the city

Always praying that we stay in the race. We’ve done this before and will do it again Let’s have a party turn the music up Let’s have a party we never give up Let’s have a party. I love the way that you feel. All the people that we love are here let’s all hope we have a better year Let’s have a party turn the music up Let’s have a party we never give up Let’s have a party. I love the way that you feel. All the people that we love are here let’s all hope we have a better year
