Midnight Drift

INTRO

yeah…

late night again…

city breathing slow…

I can feel it in the bass…

VERSE 1 – laid back rap

City lights on my windshield glow,

I been moving where the cold winds go.

Heart heavy but I never show,

Too many nights I had to let it go.

808 hit like memory,

Dragging me back to chemistry.

She said love was a remedy,

But it turned into an enemy.

Dark clouds in my stereo,

Every thought in slow mo flow.

I been lost but I still drive,

Trying to feel like I’m alive.

Money on my mind but it don’t heal,

Silence louder than the wheels.

Everything I touch feels real,

But I don’t know what I feel.

PRE-HOOK – melodic / autotune

I been falling in the night…

But it feels like I’m flying low…

I don’t know where I should go…

But the bass keep telling me so…

HOOK – melodic / emotional

Tell me why the night feels better when I’m gone…

When the city lights are singing like a song…

I been trapped inside this feeling way too long…

But the bass keep pulling me along…

Ohhh…

I can’t let go…

Ohhh…

I’m in the flow…

DROP / TRAP SECTION

808 sliding…

bass colliding…

hats keep riding…

I’m just vibing…

yeah… yeah… yeah…

don’t stop… don’t stop…

VERSE 2 – melodic rap + sing flow

Late night thoughts in a foreign whip,

Windows down with a slow bass drip.

I been tryna heal but I slip,

Every memory got a grip.

She loved me once, now it’s distant noise,

Lost myself in these city toys.

Fake love turned into poison,

Now I move in silence, no choice.

Don Toliver vibe in my head,

Future voices what they said.

I been living half-dead,

Still I chase what I never had.

Stars don’t talk but I listen close,

Every shadow got a ghost.

I been rich in broken dreams,

Living life in in-between.

PRE-HOOK – falsetto layer

I don’t feel the same no more…

But I still want more…

HOOK – expanded emotional chorus

Tell me why the night feels better when I’m gone…

When the city lights are singing like a song…

I been trapped inside this feeling way too long…

But the bass keep pulling me along…

Ohhh…

I can’t let go…

Ohhh…

I’m in the flow…

BRIDGE – emotional / psychedelic

(airy falsetto + reverb wash)

I see my past in the rear view…

But it fades in the night…

Every tear turns to stardust…

Under neon lights…

BUILD

hats rollin…

bass growin…

heart slowin…

still going…

FINAL DROP

808 heavy distortion glide

trap drums wide stereo bounce

reverb snare with space tail

psychedelic synth pads swelling

vocal chops:

yeah yeah yeah…

feel it now…

don’t slow down…

hold me down…

OUTRO

I’m still driving…

through the silence…

city fading…

but I’m vibing…
