I fire my gun the bullet is swift
a shot through the heart a man lies adrift
but I'm starting to cry cos all I can see
is I've ended the life of a man just like me

how could it be that these men with the stripes 
can tell us its war so get out there and fight
battle with honor and fight full of pride
but where killing each other and no one knows why

I walk to this man and looked down at his face
I noticed a picture this man had embraced
It was a picture of him with his wife and his son
what must they feel when he never returns

how could it be that these men with the stripes 
can tell us its war so get out there and fight
battle with honor and fight full of pride
but where killing each other and no one knows why

one more fallen hero but what could I do
I just closed the man's eyes and I gave a salute
He gave up his life for the sake of this war
but this war must be won so this fight still goes on

how could it be that these men with the stripes 
can tell us its war so get out there and fight
battle with honor and fight full of pride
but where killing each other and no one knows why

As I look around another man stands 
He's looking at me with his gun in his hands
He fires his bullet my life passes by 
the war is all over it's my turn to die

Split

A song about defeating your own demons and the people who hold you back. This song is as much about mental illness as it is domestic abuse hence the double meaning of Split.

Sound is Sex

By Annabel Chima

Genre: Rap, Hip Hop, Indie, RnB, Pop This song is inspired by the flow and style of Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat. The hook is very catchy and engaging, immediately drawing the audience in. The overall lyrics are quirky, especially in the verses where I included double entendres, satire and confrontational, sexual jargon. The vibes/atmosphere of the lyrics are highly boastful, mocking, with a tint of anger. It fits perfectly into most genres, especially rap.
