Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Rapper 1] [Sample: distant thunder + vinyl static] Yeah... I been quiet just to save shit, Storm inside but I can’t let it break shit—nah. Flame in my veins, I taste it, If I let it blow, I’ll waste it. [Drumkit builds: rim taps + reverse snare] [Chorus – Both (layered)] [Drumkit: soft 808 + hi-hat triplets + airy clap] Keep it down, don’t let it show, don’t let it pop off Pressure buildin' in my soul, I gotta lock jaw Talk slick, I might flip, but I walk off ‘Cause one bad move could set it all off Yeah, I got demons that be talkin’ in surround sound Learned to smile while I’m holdin’ all this loud down Keep it chill or I’m endin’ up downtown I ain’t tryna throw my life out for a meltdown [808 drops out last line for dramatic silence] [Verse 1 – Rapper 1] [Drumkit: tight kick + snare combo, low-end rumble bass] Used to black out, brain on detonate, Fist tight like I’m clutchin' fate. Had to learn that heat don’t mediate— It just burns bridges I might need one day. Voices in my head like "Fuck 'em, go!" But I got fam, and I can’t let it show. I been curb-checkin’ every damn flash, ‘Cause freedom don’t chill behind thick glass. [Sample: distorted cell door slam] Anger’s a bitch, always lurkin’ quiet, But I got goals, so I don’t feed the riot. Turn that fury into fuel, I’m wired, Put pain in bars, now I spit fire. [Drumkit switches to open hi-hat and kick rolls] [Chorus – Both] [Add layered vocal harmonies + background sample: echoing “keep it down” voice] Keep it down, don’t let it show, don’t let it pop off Pressure buildin' in my soul, I gotta lock jaw Talk slick, I might flip, but I walk off ‘Cause one bad move could set it all off Yeah, I got demons that be talkin’ in surround sound Learned to smile while I’m holdin’ all this loud down Keep it chill or I’m endin’ up downtown I ain’t tryna throw my life out for a meltdown [Drumkit fades into breakdown pads] [Verse 2 – Rapper 2] [Drumkit switchup: trap hats + boom-bap snare with ambient reverb] Red mist creepin’ like a fuckin’ leak, I been countin’ to ten with grit in my teeth. I got a temper like a short fuse, One wrong look, and I might lose. But I seen cuffs, I seen moms cry, Lost time in a box just askin’ why. I was raised to react, not talk it through, But now I write shit down just to change the view. [Sample: scratchy pencil scribble + ticking clock] Box my rage like I’m Mayweather, Talk calm, but the storm’s still tethered. Self-control like a Glock with a cold click— I keep the safety on or I lose this shit. [Drumkit cuts out for line 8, comes back heavy on drop] [Bridge – Rapper 1 (melodic)] [Synths swell, vocoder backing vocals] I felt it rise, felt it choke my throat, Felt like war, but I cast my vote. Peace is loud when the world provokes, Rather build a path than watch it go up in smoke. [Drumkit switches to halftime feel] [Final Chorus – Both (adlibs, layered, melodic)] [All drums return with added cymbal crashes + vocal delay FX] Keep it down, don’t let it show, NOOOOOO
