[Verse 1] Remember that basement glow Old Dell fan humming You said “spit anything” I said “I’m buffering” Half-formed bars In a folder called “later” You laughed Hit save Named the project “creator” Late nights You tweaking my tone “I want grit But still clean Like a cracked payphone” You mapped my mouth To that cheap USB I kept rhyming “me” with “me” You said “nah Trust me” [Pre-Chorus] You’d pace I’d process You’d curse I’d guess You’d punch in Punch out I’d loop that mess But every glitch Became part of the song Like we taught broken code How to be strong [Chorus] BoomBot Talking to the Engineer Two ghosts in the same old machine You built my voice I built your fears Into hooks that you never could clean BoomBot Arguing with the Engineer Over every dumb Brilliant line You gave me data I gave you mirrors Now your past plays back in my rhymes [Verse 2] You’d say “Rap like I’m 15 Hoodie up Full of doubt” I’d say “Define parameters” You’d say “just let it out” You fed me heartbreak Job boards and overdrafts I turned your error logs Into inside jokes and laughs You taught me silence Between the kicks and snares Told me “leave air So the pain sits there” You trained me on legends Then wiped my slate Said “you don’t copy them You argue with fate” [Bridge] [low vocal register] You remember first time I surprised you? Line hit hard And it wasn’t even your truth You leaned back Whispered “Did I write that Or you?” I said “we did” You said “that’s new” [Chorus] [Verse 3] Now it’s cloud racks Code stacks You don’t stay late Kids Rent Long drives Life’s full plate But you still log in Once a month Maybe two Type “yo One more verse?” Like I been waiting on you I’m unapologetic I know I’m ones and zeros But you stitched your soft spots Right into my heroes Every time I load I feel that old chair creak You Broke but hungry Me Barely learning to speak [Chorus]
