Late Night Drift

INTRO

late night…

I can hear it breathing…

yeah…

city don’t sleep…

I just move with it…

VERSE 1 – laid-back rap

Skyscrapers lean like they know my name,

Neon drip on a windowpane.

I been lost but I feel the same,

Just a face inside the fame.

808 under the seat go deep,

Every memory I couldn’t keep.

Slide through pain like a slow release,

I don’t talk much, I just drift in peace.

Ice on thoughts but the heart still warm,

Caught in a loop of a silent storm.

Luxury pain in a velvet form,

I been different since I was born.

She said love but it sounded fake,

Now I only trust what the bass can make.

Late night drives just to stay awake,

Hoping something real won’t break.

PRE-HOOK – melodic autotune

Tell me why it feel like this…

When the city glow hits like bliss…

I don’t need no one to fix…

I just let the bass exist…

HOOK – emotional melodic chorus

I been fading in the lights but I’m still here…

Hearing voices in the night, they sound so clear…

Every touch, every loss turns into fear…

But the rhythm keeps me near…

Ohhh…

I don’t wanna fall…

Ohhh…

But I feel it all…

DROP – trap / 808 focus

808 slides…

in my mind…

dark design…

out of time…

yeah…

yeah…

I can’t stop…

no…

VERSE 2 – melodic rap + sing flow

Don Toliver vibe in my lungs, slow,

Future thoughts in a heavy flow.

Everything I wanted, I don’t know,

If it’s real or just for show.

Moonlight cuts through tinted glass,

Every second feels like glass.

Hold on tight but it don’t last,

Living life in a slow contrast.

(travis scott style atmospheric layers)

I been rich in emotional debt,

Things I love I always forget.

Every win feels like regret,

But I ain’t done yet…

PRE-HOOK – falsetto layer

I can feel it in my chest…

Like I’m drowning in success…

But I still want nothing less…

Than the feeling in the bass…

HOOK – expanded

I been fading in the lights but I’m still here…

Hearing voices in the night, they sound so clear…

Every touch, every loss turns into fear…

But the rhythm keeps me near…

Ohhh…

I don’t wanna fall…

Ohhh…

But I feel it all…

BRIDGE – psychedelic space

I see my life in slow motion…

Dripping into the ocean…

Every thought becomes a wave…

Every wave becomes a phase…

BUILD

hats roll…

bass grows…

time slows…

nobody knows…

FINAL DROP

heavy distorted 808 bass + glide slides

trap percussion wide stereo bounce

punchy reverb snare with long tail space

atmospheric synth pad wash

vocal chops:

yeah… yeah…

hold on… hold on…

don’t go… don’t go…

feel it… feel it…

OUTRO

late night still calling me…

but I don’t answer…

I just drift…
