Crown of Smoke

[Intro]
Blood on the contract
Ink never dried, it burned
Name on the black glass
Watched the halo turn
[Verse 1]
Cold hands
On a gold rim chalice
Toast to the sins
To the small-time malice
Big throne
But the legs look fragile
Whole room bright
But the heart stay shadow
Eyes on me
Like a red dot sight
Whispers in the vents
Say I earned this night
Every scar in my skin
That’s a signed receipt
Every rival in the ground
That’s a life I keep
[Chorus]
Crown of smoke
It sits on me heavy
If I ever let go
Who gon’ hold it steady
I’m a king on a fault line
Pray the earth stay broke
You can’t see these horns
Under this crown of smoke
Crown of smoke
Crown of smoke
[Verse 2]
Black suit
Over beat-up veins
Heart got ice
But it leak propane
Steel in the safe
But the fear more loaded
Smile in the flash
But the film corroded
Got ghosts in the foyer
All know my name
Got knives at the feast
All want my place
If the choir start rising
That’s my warning light
If the candles burn blue
Then it’s war tonight
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If I drown in the dark
Let the ash fall slow
Let my face in the flames
Be the last you know
[choir stacks swell]
If the sky cave in
Let the ropes all choke
And my name disappear
With this crown of smoke
[Chorus]

rap, Dark cinematic trap, swung drums and thunderous sub-bass. Male vocals. Verses stay low and breathy over organ stabs and distant men’s choir swells; hook explodes with stacked choirs, widened synth pads, and a sharper top-line. Sparse FX risers and reverse hits before drops; vocal doubles and ad-libs carve through a moody, wide mix., low, vocal, breathy
