Take me down, shed my blood, tear my soul apart Do everything you can to rip my heart I’m not gonna give up, only gonna get up We’re flying in the sea of Ramsay’s culinary Whatever comes around, will never bring us down! Stab and stab and stab our spirits down You’re nothing, nothing, nothing but a silly clown A confirmed future absentee ‘Cause we have our friends and we have our family! Did you explore the sky today? It was blue, it was true, it was singing to you The mountain’s waiting, for all the hikers climbing Come on, lads, it’s time to taste some winning We’ll stay, we’ll strife through the hardest part You know we’ll always have our so-called art Whatever comes around, will never bring us down! Can you feel the wind swimming through your pores? Ignite the dynamite in your liver’s core Oh, won’t you please just feel the wind? Get out there and let it swim Find out what this life means Have a blast, forget the past, nothing lasts Explore the world without wearing a mask Pack your bags and kick some ass!

Jangan Risau 04:44
Dan aku sendiri lagi Bersarang dalam kamar gelap ini Terus memaki diri, fobia dengan realiti Sampai bila mahu begini? Aku perlu berdiri di atas kaki dan mulakan intradiri Aku tenung ke dalam mataku, berteriak-pesan kepada aku; “Hey, budak. Kau akan okay. Ingat korus ini: Walau apa terjadi di dunia ini Aku akan okay, aku akan okay Selagi aku ada dirimu, aku tahu Aku akan okay, aku akan okay" Masih aku ingat pesan Ash, “Memang kita buat salah, tapi jangan pernah salahkan diri kita” Dan Pujangga Merah bermadah, “Saya teringin tengok awak sayang awak macam awak sayang saya” Memang hidup kadang dan selalu sukar Terkoyak semua, dicerai bakar Tidak, ini bukan satu rungutan, cuma sealun ingatan Cuba dan cuba teruskan hidup yang terselit indahan Dan aku tak dikurnia senang dan harta Namun masih diselimut suaman cinta Daripada sejumlah adiwira manusia dan Sang Pencipta, Pemberi Asa Teruskan saja dan jalan lagi Ingat korus ini Dalam peti surat depan rumah ada sekeping surat untuk aku daripada aku Katanya: “Wahai cinta, wahai sayang Jangan pernah lagi kau hilang Aku ada, Tuhan ada, mereka ada buat hari kau terang Yang lalu jangan kau kenang, yang kelak jangan kau bimbang Hiduplah dalam sekarang Tulis hikayat hidupmu dengan tenang dan senang” Cuba hidup sebelum ku mati Merangkak kalau tak dapat lari Walau apa pun yang 'kan terjadi Aku tahu aku akan okay

Nine years and we’re still together now But it feels like we’re breaking apart Now I’m begging you to stay Fuck the world, they will never ever understand What we are and what we’re going through And I’m questioning God, “Why it’s gotta be this hard?” Do you really wanna do this? Shit comes and goes. How much more? No one knows I’m at the bottom now and there’s no place to go Can’t find a way, I’m not o-fucking-kay. Things will end anyway. We’ll leave and go anywhere but here If only we have cash in our bank accounts But we’re broke as fuck and Even if we did, they’ll be going to our debts “Go to college,” they said “You’ll be doing fine,” they said Fine, they said? But why it’s gotta be this hard? Why it’s gotta be this hard? Fuck, this is so hard I don’t think that I can do this. Shit comes and goes. How much more? No one knows I’m at the bottom now and there’s no place to go Find me a way, so it will be okay. Things won’t last anyway. I’m gonna give all that I can with all the things that I still have Take me down and tear my soul apart, I might break but with you I’ll be okay. We might stumble and fall, at least we do what we wanna do All the shit in the world, together we will make it through Sing this tune till we’re old, scream your heart out by my side All the joy in the world, forever we will be alright

Kembanglah wahai sang-sang minda Nak hidup begini sampai bila? Bumi yang dipijak Tuhan yang punya Diberi dikasi untuk semua Bersama, bukan kita sahaja Hancur, hancur segala Kau agungkan rasa benci Berhenti Tuhankan diri Engkau kata kau mulia, hakikatnya kita hina Engkau mahu rasa syurga tapi kau sebar bencana Manusia! Manusia, otak geliga Manusia! Manusia, tukang binasa Manusia! Manusia, janganlah leka Manusia! Manusia, sebarkan cinta! Kawanku, berhentilah melayu Sahabatku, berhentilah melayu Cintaku, berhentilah melayu Jiwaku, berhentilah melayu

Berhenti buat seketika dari terus bermimpi Dan teruskan hidup untuk hidupkan apa yang kau impi Percaya pada hasratmu dan mimpimu yang ingin engkau kejar Otak berpusing, badan terketar Hidup tak senang, problem berulang Jangan henti selagi kau tahu impianmu benar dan mulia Jadi apa kau nak jadi Jangan kisah dipuji atau dimaki Mulut orang kita tak boleh nak kunci Jadi apa kau nak jadi Pastikan apa yang kau nak jadi itu terjadi Jadi apa kau nak jadi Mak bapak mula berleter “Bila kau nak buat duit? Semua benda tengah meleset Sampai mati kita dihimpit!” Buat apa banyak harta Kalau hidup jadi hamba? Tak nak buang zaman muda Nak ubah dunia! Kau pun tahu yang aku tahu Diri ini perlu diubah dulu Hidup memang susah – kadang penat, kadang lelah Bangkit, rangkak, panjat. Takkan selamanya kalah Jangan biar mimpi mati dalam hati Tanam dan mekarkan, sebar satu bumi Jadi apa kau nak jadi

I’m bad at so many things but I’m worst at being me As I’m stuck in this hazy island town Where people are fucked with narcissism And racism is basically a heritage thing Cultures divided, prejudices thriving I can’t live with these fuckups around me Home is just too far away I’m missing my friends and family I’m slowly losing myself Won’t you please help me find me? I always wanna make myself a better man But it seems my passion is dying No, I’m not gonna let that happen I’m gonna give all that I can For myself, for God, for all the ones I love For the tears and the joy that will never be enough For the stars that I gaze, the earth under my feet For the dreams that I have since I was a kid For my faith, for my dad, for my saviors For the journey ahead of us For me I’ve been running away from responsibilities (for far too long) Now that Abah’s gone, the anchor’s passed down to me (and I can’t swim) I can barely crawl to make it through the night If this year would just end, I think we’d all be alright I smoke my lungs with THC again and again Hoping these two months to pass as fast as they can All these vultures are slowly devouring me All my meat they eat will turn into poison, they’ll see I’ll keep on climbing The world’s an ugly place Why don’t we just decorate this space? I’m not a self-help book But I’ll try to write one with my friends
