[Style / Production Prompt] [85 BPM Chopped & Screwed Phonk / Deep South Creepy Grime / Slow Eerie Memphis Cowbells / Heavily Pitched-Down Vocal Drag / Sluggish Distorted 808 Sub Slides / Snapping Rimshots / Muffled Tape-Stop Stutters / Dark Analog Hiss] --- [Intro] [85 BPM Sluggish Drag, Low Screwed Vocal Chop, Distant Minor Piano Pluck, Deep 808 Hum] (Evil ain't the dark... nah, it ain't the dark.) (Dark don't plot. Dark don't breed.) (The dust only settles when the tools have long since fallen.) (Mold only grows in the damp when you walk away.) (Slow the tape down. Let the low end drag the ditch.) [Tape-Stop Glitch, Heavy Memphis Snare Crack, Sliding Sub-Bass Drops] [Verse 1 - The Damp Room] [85 BPM Southern Drag, Murky Bell Loop, Fast Phonk Hi-Hats, Crushing 808 Thuds] The dust only settles when the tools have long since fallen, When the hands walk off and ignore what they were called in! Mold don't strike like a bolt from the sky: It feeds in the dark where the wet was left to dry! Sometimes bad things happen from the wild and the cold, A sudden harsh frost that the crops couldn't hold. That’s just the storm; that ain't malice or spite— That’s just the hard world turning through the night! But evil is the rot that you breed in the head When you feed on the spite and leave the good work dead! You quit doing checks, you let the bad weeds sprout, Till the brain grows black and the clean air runs out! [Pre-Chorus] [Tape Warble, Snare Roll Stutter, Pitched-Down Vocal Echo] Leave a room damp and the spore takes the wood: Nobody to blame but the work you withstood! Three, two, one—DRAG IT LOW! [Chorus] [Massive Phonk Drop, Screwed Vocals, Heavy Sliding 808s, Chilling Cowbell Melody] Evil ain't the dark, it's the mold in the wall! (Mold... mold...) The slow quiet rot when you don't heed the call! When you quit the hard chore of keeping things clean, The bad blood moves in to direct the machine! Pitch it down slow through the mud and the grime: Hold to the good, or you slide into crime! (Screwed down... hold the weight...) (Idle minds feeding on a poisoned plate!) [Verse 2 - The Spoil] [Sluggish Groove, Raw Analog Saturation, Cold Spoken-Word Cadence] Look at the man where the mold took root: Never pulled a weed, never gathered up fruit. Bad things hit him, so he quit the whole fight, Letting raw hurt turn to venom and spite! Now the rifts in his skull run ugly and deep: He loves when it burns 'cause it wakes him from sleep! He can't bear the stink of the rot in his chest, So he flings out his bile to ruin the rest! Evil is a wound that you throw at the street: Making others bleed just to hide your defeat! Passing off your filth, making cheap excuse, Turning your pain into weapons and use! [Pre-Chorus] [Cowbell Pattern Stutters, 808 Drops an Octave, Pitch Bends Down] You dump your own dirt on the porch of the kind, And call yourself strong while you rot from behind! WATCH THE SLIDE! [Chorus] [Maximum Sonic Weight, Distorted 808 Glides, Sharp Cowbell Arpeggios, Low Chants] Evil ain't the dark, it's the mold in the wall! (Mold... mold...) The slow quiet rot when you don't heed the call! When you quit the hard chore of keeping things clean, The bad blood moves in to direct the machine! Pitch it down slow through the mud and the grime: Hold to the good, or you slide into crime! [Bridge - The Upkeep] [Beat Drops Out into Muddy Tape Flutter, Bare Cowbell Melody, Deep Sub Sine Drone] [Deep Screwed Baritone - Intimate, Clinical Delivery:] (A broken bone ain't evil. A storm ain't a crime.) (Bad luck can strike any man at any time.) Evil is the choice when you sit in the gloom, And let the damp spoil take the whole damn room. The cure for the rot ain't a sigh or a wish: It's the scrub of the brush and the salt in the dish! Good is the sweat that keeps the beam straight, Good is the hand that lifts the latch on the gate! Air out the house. Cut the rot from the wood. [Heavy Snare Crescendo, Tape Snaps to Full Speed, Crushing 808 Impact] STAND UP AND TEND TO THE GOOD! [Chorus - Screwed Outro Climax] [Sluggish Heavy Groove, Saturated Low End, Echoing Screwed Vocals] Evil ain't the dark, it's the mold in the wall! The slow quiet rot when you don't heed the call! When you quit the hard chore of keeping things clean, The bad blood moves in to direct the machine! Pitch it down slow through the mud and the grime: Hold to the good, or you slide into crime! [Outro] [Vinyl Grinds into the Runout Groove, Tape Speed Drops to Zero, Sub-Bass Decays] The tools fell down. Pick them up again. Clean out your brain. Care is the cure. [Chopped vocal stutter: "Cure... cure...", tape click, dead air]
