✅ 01 - Prime After Prime - PRIMEMASTER'S KARIN

[Verse 1] Late night Cold lamp Coffee ring on a scribbled draft He writes the line they all said was a ghost Sigma equals one half On the margin Underlined Whole life chasing zeros They never find the time To even skim the pages he’s bled into the spine He hits send Silence Weeks stretch into walls Conferences keep talking Like he never wrote at all He stares at the inbox Empty as the hall Where his name hangs crooked On a fading plaque Small [Chorus] So he goes Prime after prime after prime “I’ll make the world read me One patent at a time” (yeah) If they won’t touch the proof They’ll feel the design He carves his mark in the margins of time Prime after prime after prime [Verse 2] He starts with a lock you can’t pick Keys that count in a secret rhythm Codes built on quiet patterns They laughed at in the system Every application stamped and filed The clerk just yawns and smiles Never sees the map Hidden in the numbered tiles He walks past glass-front towers They profit off his mind They quote his early footnotes Never credit what they find Awkward handshake at the lobby “You’re ahead You’re out of line” He just nods Pockets heavy With new sketches New designs (hey) [Chorus] So he goes Prime after prime after prime “I’ll make the world read me One patent at a time” If they won’t touch the proof They’ll feel the design He carves his mark in the margins of time Prime after prime after prime [Bridge] Is it glory? Is it spite? Or just a man who’s tired of being right On paper no one opens Dust in the light? He whispers to the ceiling As the streetcars pass outside “One day they’ll trace the ladder From my claims to that old line See the spine that holds it together Every page That single sign” [Chorus] So he goes Prime after prime after prime “I’ll make the world read me One patent at a time” (oh yeah) If they won’t touch the proof They’ll feel the design He carves his mark in the margins of time Prime after prime after prime Prime after prime after prime
