🎬 INTRO (No drums, soft piano + ambient war FX subtle)
I was born in 1985…
Not into comfort…
Not into certainty…
…but into war.
Liberia.
Gunfire wasn’t metaphorical…
It was environmental.
Before I understood language…
My nervous system understood survival.
🥁 BUILD (Add low percussion + heartbeat bass)
Stay alert…
Stay ready…
Stay alive…
That wasn’t taught…
That was absorbed.
HOOK (Afro-soul melodic — CLEAN + REPEATABLE) 🎵
Born into fear… but I’m still here
Turned pain into purpose, made the vision clear
From survival mode to living aligned
Now I unlearn fear and reclaim my mind
Hands to the sky — I release what’s inside
No more hiding, no more divide
L.U.V. Drops — yeah we heal in time
Learn… Unleash… Realign
VERSE 1 (Afro-swing cadence)
I was young but my body knew pressure
Even silence carried heavy measure
Mama strong but the weight was real
Pain don’t talk but the kids can feel
Refugee dreams in a new location
But fear don’t stop at immigration
New land, same internal war
Just quieter than before
PRE-CHORUS
Fear don’t scream — it hums low
In the background everywhere we go
And if you never stop to face that sound
You build your whole life on shaky ground
HOOK (Full drums + energy lift)
Born into fear… but I’m still here
Turned pain into purpose, made the vision clear
From survival mode to living aligned
Now I unlearn fear and reclaim my mind
Hands to the sky — I release what’s inside
No more hiding, no more divide
L.U.V. Drops — yeah we heal in time
Learn… Unleash… Realign
BRIDGE (Drop drums — choir + pads)
What you learned… ain’t always truth
What you felt… shaped your youth
But you can pause…
You can choose…
Unlearn the fear…
Rewrite the proof…
FINAL HOOK (Anthem / call & response)
Born into fear… but I rise above
Found my purpose, now I move with love
No more survival — I’m stepping in light
Realigned values — I’m claiming my life
Say it loud — (UNLEARN!)
Say it proud — (RECLAIM!)
L.U.V. Drops — we breaking the chains
Learn… Unleash… Realign
OUTRO (Podcast transition)
This is L.U.V. Drops…
Learning Unlearned Values…
Where we don’t just live life…
We understand it by embracing LUV- (love)
One drop at a time.
