MTV’s BRIDGE & TUNNEL: Main Title – to be played a lot – respectable budget – aprox $30k to $50k ALL IN – huge exposure! DEADLINE – this Monday

Creative Direction:

I'm not afraid to take a stand Everybody come take my hand We'll walk this road together, through the storm Whatever weather, cold or warm Just let you know that, you're not alone Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road (Intro) [Especially the following part of the lyrics] Yeah, It's been a ride... I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one Now some of you might still be in that place If you're trying to get out, just follow me I'll get you there
