[Intro] [Near-silence. Dry smoky female alto, teasing, clipped pitch] [Single clean sub pulse, no drums] Terrible idea. [One beat empty] Drop a pin. [Dry kick and clap snap in] [Chorus] [Cool rhythmic melodic chant, no rap or sustained R&B singing] [Clean elastic sub, skeletal offbeat kick/clap; tiny vocal doubles] Terrible idea, drop a pin Told myself no, she ain't listening Didn't say yes, but I did get dressed I'm not going, I'm just getting gas [FAKE DROP: sudden drum rush on "gas" then complete one-beat silence; no payoff] Terrible idea, drop a pin Phone on three, got a second wind I said I'm not coming, I meant it then I'm at the gate. Let me in. [Post-Chorus] [DROP 1: Jersey club triplet kicks slam in for TWO BARS ONLY; bass pitch-bends; lead stays dry] [Chopped sung words bounce between left and right, drums answer each phrase] Drop a pin, drop a pin Drop-drop, drop a pin Didn't say yes Did get dressed Did get, did get dressed Not coming, not coming Not com—I'm in [Hard gate: drums vanish, vocal sample repeats alone] Terri-terrible Terri-terrible Pin-pin-pin. [Snap back to original bare groove] [Verse 1] [Clipped, tuneful taunts, playful upward inflections; no rap flow] [Only clean sub, dry kick and sparse clap] Phone face down, very grown of me Flipped it right back at 10:03 "Still up?" "Not really." Not really, not really Not really— Keys in my hand That's between me and me Had a whole speech Rehearsed it twice Left it at the first red light [Breakbeat begins skipping, each "red" triggers faster snare cuts] Red light, red light Red, red, red— [EVERYTHING CUTS TO DIGITAL SILENCE] Green. [DROP 2: ONE BAR of hyper-edited breakcore drums + metallic snare + distorted sliding sub] [Instantly snap back to dry kick and clean sub] [Pre-Chorus] [Alternating low lead and high chopped responses; rhythmic, not pretty] Bad idea (Bad idea) I know (I know) Which gate? Which gate? [FAKE DROP: kick triplets build, then vanish before impact] [Chorus] [Original bare groove returns, tight doubles only on last words] Terrible idea, drop a pin Told myself no, she ain't listening Didn't say yes, but I did get dressed I'm not going, I'm just getting gas Terrible idea, drop a pin Phone on three, got a second wind I said I'm not coming, I meant it then I'm at the gate. Let me in. [Drop] [DROP 3: HARD CUT FROM CHORUS TO DOUBLE-TIME JERSEY CLUB KICKS] [Every "did get" triggers a metallic drum hit; hard-gated vocals alternate pitch] Didn't say yes Did get dressed Did get, did get Did get, did get— [BREAKCORE FILL accelerates for half a bar] Dressed-dressed-dressed! [ONE BEAT BLACKOUT: dead silence] Not coming Not coming Not com— [Single massive clean sub hit] I'm in. [Rapid cut-up drums for ONE BAR; clipped sub distortion] Drop-drop-drop Drop a pin Pin-pin-pin Drop a pin [All chaos cuts; return to skeletal groove] [Verse 2] [Low, cheeky melodic chant; leave gaps, no extended rap] [Kick, clap, clean bass only] You sent a paragraph Baby, I'm parked That's a lot of words For a gate in the dark "Are you sure?" You sent the pin Don't get all sensible Now that I'm here Phone on one And the code won't work "Try again." "Come outside." If anybody asks Where I went tonight— Gas. I went for gas. Gas, gas Just getting gas. [Break] [ALL INSTRUMENTS CUT. Dry lone lead, no reverb] Drop a pin. Send the PIN. Drop a— Send the— Phone died. [Two beats dead silence] Let me in. Let me, let me Let me in. [FALSE BUILD: drums stutter faster and faster, then STOP] [DROP 4: ONE BAR of violent chopped breakbeat collides with Jersey kick triplets; metallic snare answers vocal] Let me, let me, let me— In-in-in-in Drop-drop-drop a— Pin-pin-pin-pin [INSTANT BLACKOUT] [Final Chorus] [Full clean bass groove returns, wider vocal doubles; sharp short drum attacks in the gaps] Terrible idea, drop a pin (Drop a pin) Told myself no, she ain't listening (Not listening) Didn't say yes, but I did get dressed (Did get dressed) I'm not going, I'm just getting gas (Just getting gas) Terrible idea, drop a pin Phone on three, got a second wind I said I'm not coming, I meant it then I'm at the gate. Let me in. [Final Refrain] [Chopped melody becomes percussion; alternate clean sub with 1-bar glitch-breakbeat attacks] Drop a pin, drop a pin Drop-drop, drop a pin Didn't say yes Did get dressed Did get, did get Did get dressed Not coming, not coming Not com—I'm in Terri-terrible Terri-terrible Drop a, drop a Drop-drop a pin [Outro] [All drums and effects disappear; lone dry voice, one low bass pulse] Terrible idea. [Pause] Worth it. [Hard cut]
