[Intro: deep 808 bass, glitchy synth stabs] Trapped in the darkness, no light in my sight, Buried in debt with no end to the fight, World keeps on spinning, I’m stuck in my plight, Basement my prison, I’m lost in the night. [Verse 1: heavy bass, skittering hi-hats] Living in shadows, my parents’ old space, Jobless and broken, no hope in my chase, Girlfriend has vanished, she left with no trace, Dreams of my future, now gone from my place. [Chorus: massive drop, distorted synths, vocal chops] Debt keeps on climbing, my pockets are bare, Friends turn away when I beg for a share, Trapped in this struggle, no one seems to care, Lost in the basement, I’m gasping for air. [Verse 2: layered 808s, eerie vocal pads] Applications sent, but they’re lost in the void, Hoping for chances, but dreams are destroyed, Loans keep on stacking, my life’s unemployed, Sinking in sorrow, my soul’s been annoyed. [Bridge: glitchy arpeggios, rising tension] Friends used to answer, now silence my call, Money’s the reason they’re building a wall, Broke and abandoned, I’m destined to fall, Still I keep spitting, I’ll rise through it all. [Chorus: huge drop, heavy bass, vocal stabs] Debt keeps on climbing, my pockets are bare, Friends turn away when I beg for a share, Trapped in this struggle, no one seems to care, Lost in the basement, I’m gasping for air. [Outro: fading 808s, soft synth drones] Fighting through darkness, I’ll carve my own way, Burdened by debt, but I’ll conquer someday, Basement my start, not my end, come what may, Spitting these bars ‘til I’m free from the fray.
