Well, I came to the city I was running from the past My heart was bleeding And it hurt my bones to laugh Stayed in the city No exception to the rules, to the rule He was born to love me I was raised to be his fool, oh his fool Walk that line Torn apart Gotta spend your whole life trying Ride that train And free your heart Its midnight up in Harlem I went down to the river And I took a look around There were old mans shoes There were needles on the ground No more mysteries, baby No more secrets, no more clues The stars are out there You can almost see the moon The streets are windy And the subways closing down Gonna carry this dream To the other side of town Walk that line Torn apart Gotta spend your whole life trying Ride that train And free your heart Its midnight up in Harlem

Wade in the water Wade in the water Children wade in the water Gods gonna trouble the water Whos that young girl dressed in red Wade in the water Must be the children that Moses left And Gods gonna trouble the water Whos that young girl dressed in white Wade in the water Must be the children of Israeli Gods gonna trouble the water Whos that young girl dressed in blue Wade in the water Must be the children coming true And Gods gonna trouble the water
They made their promises Then they walked away Fair-weather friends Are gone for good You never cared about What others had to say And through it all You understood You are my prayer in times of trouble Ill be your answer when you call Shelter you, shelter me Wake up, but keep dreaming That you were born to fly When your heart is heavy Like a stone Ill lift your burden high Until you realize That through the storm You soldiered on You showed me that your actions Speak louder than your words
We were talking - about the space between us all And the people - who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion Never glimpse the truth - then its far too late - when they pass away We were talking - about the love we all could share - when we find it To try our best to hold it there - with our love With our love - We could save the world - if they only knew Try to realise its all within yourself no-one else can make you change And to see youre really only very small And life flows on within you and without you We were talking - about the love thats gone so cold and the people Who gain the world and lose their soul - They dont know - they cant see - are you one of them? When youve seen beyond yourself - then you may find Peace of mind, is waiting there - And the time will come when you see Were all one, and life flows on within you and without you
Muddy feet and whiskey legs Comin at me like a subway train Riddled language fill my ears with pain Im laughing out loud cause I feel insane Too tired to yawn But Im willing to run All this crazy They keep me hangin on Looking for smoke and that aint no joke Hillbillies comin at me Wont leave me alone Summers past and Im losin steam A slummers call in a winters dream Too tired to yawn But Im willing to love Over the withered hills I roam Tryin to keep me from going home Black is the day and white is the night Just enough blue to make it alright How many dreams will you let flow by Before you choose one to ride? Muddy feet and whiskey legs Coming at me like a subway train Overthrow the spirit as the clocks strikes three Daddy calls are following me Black is the day, white is the night Just enough blue to make it alright How many dreams will you let flow by Before you choose one to ride?

import numpy as np

datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/tedeschi-trucks-band")

train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07

train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])

datasets = DatasetDict(
    {
