[Intro] [slow dramatic build] [midnight luxury atmosphere] [piano glimmers] [deep bass waiting] [spoken with swagger] Yeah… He had everything… Till he realized that wasn’t everything. [verse 1] [beat waits to drop] On the highest floor of tallest tower ever There’s a man named Richard, he’s the richest man ever He’s bought all that once and he’s been there twice He’s literally done it all and got many different lives [beat drops] Richard pondered out the window half light half shadow It finally struck Richard that he could die tomorrow ’Cus yesterday in Chicago on his yacht A fellow slipped in some scotch [pause for dramatic effect] “And Richard just passed by that very spot” [beat interlude] [deep cellos hit steady] [unorthodox piano solo, advanced melodies] [Chorus] On the highest floor of tallest tower ever There’s a man named Richard, he’s the richest man ever He’s bought all that once and he’s been there twice He’s literally done it all and got many different lives [Verse 2] He thought [long] [fast choppy lyrics] (about the things he did and all that he had was looking for some meaning and it brought a lonely thought) And a spark (spark) [pause for dramatic effect] [fast choppy lyrics] (popped up in a memory it was twelve o’clock and it dinged on the ship when he forgot) (ring ring) Called his accountant [dramatic pause] “What’s the amount?” And she told him there was roughly 4.2 billion in his stock He had new vision, this new business Expenses extensive, a lot He bought a base location spot And then he made a couple calls On the phone he told a man what he's done, was his son (Woah) "dad, what the hell do you got going on?” (What's wrong, wrong) [Pre-Chorus] [melodic build] Richard said, “Boy, I done bought the moon Bought the cars, bought the art, bought a room with a view But I ain’t bought purpose, I ain’t bought truth So tonight I’m gon’ become what money never could do” [pause] “Something real…” [Chorus] On the highest floor of tallest tower ever There’s a man named Richard, he’s the richest man ever But the cash got boring and the thrill got severed Now he wanna save the world in designer leather On the highest floor of tallest tower ever Stood a man named Richard, now he’s changing forever He had all that once and he done been there twice Now he’s trying to be a hero in the middle of the night [Verse 3] [harder drums come in] He built a suit black gold with a burgundy tint Cape too clean, had a presidential print Mask on sharp, with a billionaire grin If crime got a pulse then he diving right in Made a lab downstairs and a launch pad too Got seven slick cars and a silent jet coupe One button lift and the floorboard split Whole wall turned screen when he talked his shit He said, “I don’t need fame, I invented the wave I need something bigger than that money I made I need danger, purpose, maybe something to chase ’Fore I end up a ghost in a rich man’s place” [pause for dramatic effect] And his son said, “Dad… you insane.” Richard smiled, “Exactly. That’s why they gon’ remember my name.” [Bridge] [cinematic] [newspaper headlines energy] Now the city lit up when the nightfall came Helicopters in the sky, everybody yelled his name Some called him crazy, some said he was brave Some said a rich man can’t be the one that saves But Richard hit the rooftops, expensive and fast Custom-made boots, never slipping on the glass Old fear died when the new mask fit And he laughed in the dark like, “I was made for this” [Beat Switch] [drums half-time] [thicker bass] [darker swagger] [Verse 4] First night out, saw a robbery live Five men masked up, all black outside Richard dropped down with a flash and a light Said, “Put that down, gentlemen, ruin my night” One reached quick, Richard moved more slick Hit a button on the glove, made the whole thing glitch One ran left, one froze on the curb One said, “Ain’t that the dude from the Forbes top third?” Richard smirked, “Yeah, that’s me, But tonight these hands came with technology” Whole squad down by a quarter past three By the morning every channel had the story on repeat [Pre-Chorus] [melodic, triumphant] Now he feel alive for the first damn time Not from stocks, not yachts, not a watch that shine It was danger, meaning, purpose in the climb He found a bigger high than a dollar sign [Final Chorus] On the highest floor of tallest tower ever There’s a man named Richard, he’s the richest man ever But the cash got boring and the thrill got severed Now he saves the world in designer leather On the highest floor of tallest tower ever Stood a man named Richard, now he’s changing forever He had all that once and he done been there twice Now he’s a billionaire hero in the middle of the night [Outro] [piano returns] [beat strips down] [spoken with confidence] He bought the world… Then tried to protect it. [soft melodic line] Richard in the skyline Half man, half legend Richest in the world… But finally worth something. [end]
