[INTRO – Yorùbá ritual, respiración tensa] “Olódùmarè, gbọ́ mi… kò sí ìmọ́lẹ̀… kò sí ìmọ́lẹ̀…” ⸻ [VERSE 1 — pánico urbano] Heart beat jumpin’ like a gun in my chest, shadow in the hallway sayin’ “boy, don’t rest.” Hands start shakin’, lungs cut short, I can’t tell if it’s God or the night I caught. Phone on 1%, hope on fumes, demon on my back tryna carve his truth. Whole block silent, whole sky red— I’m runnin’ from a voice that ain’t even dead. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS — susurro quebrado] “If I fall right here… nobody gon’ know…” ⸻ 🔥 [CHORUS — ] **Call 911, I’m losing my breath again, shadows on the wall say run, but my legs won’t listen. Lights fade out, there’s a storm in my chest tonight, and the dark keeps whisperin’, “you ain’t makin’ it past the light.”** ⸻ [YORÙBÁ CHOIR —, Egúngún] “Egúngún má wo mi o! Egúngún gbé wa!” ⸻ [VERSE 2 — MUNTU//VOID] My pulse got teeth, my fear got claws, every breath I take feels like breaking laws. I hear footsteps that ain’t got feet, I hear prayers that forgot their beat. If heaven lookin’ down, it ain’t lookin’ my way— I can feel the void chewing every word I try to say. ⸻ [BRIDGE ] “Don’t let me fade— don’t let me fade— don’t let me— don’t let me—” (glitch vocal, respiración acelerada) ⸻ [SECOND CHOIR – “NÍNÚ ÒKÙNKÙN // IN THE DARK”] [YORÙBÁ (coro grave):] “Ọ̀nà mi ti sọnù… kò sí ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún mi. Ẹ̀mí baba wa, fi mi ṣọ́.” [ENGLISH (coro agudo):] “In the dark I walk alone, with the dust beneath my bones. If the night decides my fate, Lord—don’t open heaven late. 🔥[FINAL CHORUS ] **Voices rise, and they’re closing around my soul, something in the dark said “come,” and now it won’t let go. Lights cut out, I’m slipping between the cracks, if I vanish before the dawn… tell the dust I won’t come back.”** ⸻ [OUTRO – Yorùbá susurrado] “kò sí ìmọ́lẹ̀… kò sí ìmọ́lẹ̀…”
