[Title: You’re Lying]
[start]
[intro, whispered male vocal]
[murky 808 drone, distant choir pad, vinyl air, dark room reverb]
You said the light was gone.
You said the door was closed.
You said I’d never rise again.
You’re lying.
[verse 1, smooth male rapper]
[slow trap flow, gritty calm delivery, sparse rimshot snare]
I heard your voice in the walls last night
Talking like the whole sky died
Telling me the road went black
Telling me I won’t come back
But I seen fire in the rain
I seen gold inside the chain
I seen saints with dirty hands
Still kneel down and break the frame
You can call it what you want
You can dress it up in smoke
You can whisper through the wire
But I know what I know
I was low but I was breathing
I was lost but I was reading
Every scar like scripture
Every wound had meaning
[pre chorus, vocal stack rising]
[gospel pads, distant choir, heavy sidechain pulse]
You said I’m finished
You said I’m fading
You said the night was all I’d know
But I hear heaven
Under the basement
I hear a voice say let it go
[chorus, dark chant hook]
[male lead, choir harmony, reverb-drenched stacks]
You’re lying
You’re lying
You’re lying
I can feel my spirit climbing
You’re lying
You’re lying
You’re lying
There’s a light behind the sirens
[verse 2, gangster rap posture but spiritual]
[halftime drums, subby kick, low synth drone]
I walk slow through the city with the thunder in my chest
No crown on my head but I carry what is left
Every shadow wants a name
Every mirror wants a debt
But I paid mine in silence
I ain’t scared of what comes next
I got ghosts in the hallway
Angels on the roof
Pressure in my bloodline
Mercy in the booth
I don’t flex for the cameras
I don’t bleed for applause
I just move through the static
With the truth in my jaw
They said bend, I stood
They said break, I would
They said run, I stayed
Like a flame in the wood
Now the bassline talking
And the choir comes low
If the world won’t open
I’ma bless my own road
[pre chorus 2, darker]
[choir hum, rimshots drop out, 808 breathing]
You said I’m finished
You said I’m fading
You said the night was all I’d know
But I hear heaven
Under the basement
I hear a voice say let it go
[chorus, bigger]
[chanting gospel pads, stacked male vocals, heavy 808 sidechain]
You’re lying
You’re lying
You’re lying
I can feel my spirit climbing
You’re lying
You’re lying
You’re lying
There’s a light behind the sirens
[bridge, ritual chant]
[choir call and response, male adlibs, dark cathedral reverb]
Tell the dark it cannot keep me
Tell the grave it never knew me
Tell the fear it cannot speak for me
Tell the smoke it cannot move me
I was born in the pressure
I was raised by the storm
I was marked by the midnight
But the morning knows my form
[breakdown, spoken rap]
[808 only, whispered doubles, distant choir swell]
Look—
I don’t need the world to clap
I don’t need a throne to sit
I don’t need a perfect past
I just need the flame still lit
Every lie had teeth
Every truth had weight
Every closed door taught me
How to push through gates
[final verse, smooth aggressive build]
[drums return, tense bass-heavy atmosphere]
Now I step through the smoke like a sermon in black
All the pain in my bones turned the whole room packed
I got faith in my lungs
Got dirt on my tracks
Got a voice in my soul saying never look back
You can say I’m too far
You can say I’m too gone
You can say I’m all shadow
But the shadow made the song
You can say what you want
You can preach from the wire
But the truth walks slow
And it comes through fire
[final chorus, full ritual anthem]
[male lead, choir harmonies, reverb vocal stacks, massive 808]
You’re lying
You’re lying
You’re lying
I can feel my spirit climbing
You’re lying
You’re lying
You’re lying
There’s a light behind the sirens
You’re lying
You’re lying
You’re lying
I can hear the choir rising
You’re lying
You’re lying
You’re lying
I was never done surviving
[outro, fading chant]
[distant choir, low 808 fade, vinyl air]
You’re lying
You’re lying
You’re lying
I was never done surviving
[instrumental outro]
