[Intro | autotuned delivery | tuned male vocal | light reverb] (Yeah, Gotham nights) [adlib whoa] From the big top to the rooftops. Watch me fly. [Verse 1 | rap | fast flow | 808 sub bass] Born in the circus, bred in the dark Lost my bloodline but I still got the spark Bruce took me in, gave me the code Now I'm swinging through the city on a dangerous road Acrobat maneuvers, flipping off the ledge Living my life right upon the edge Red, yellow, green, yeah you see the bright crest Ain't no bulletproof armor but I'm passing the test [adlib boom] [Pre-Chorus | build-up | rising tension] Always on the right side, stepping out the blind side Tired of the backseat, ready for the high ride You think you know the Bat, but you don't know the Bird (Listen to the word) [Chorus | chant hook | layered ad-libs | syncopated drop | 808 sub bass] BOY WONDER, taking the thunder! (Watch me fly) Never pulling under, ripping it asunder! Out of the shadows, making my own name This ain't just a sidekick playing in the game! [adlib yeah] [Verse 2 | rap | punchy | off-beat hi-hats] Bo-staff spinning, villains keep grinning Till I hit 'em with the flip and I stop their sinning Riddler, Joker, Two-Face, Bane I'll be bringing down the justice, I'll be bringing the pain They call me the protege, second in command But I got the whole city right inside my hand Grapple hook flying, kicking through the glass Robin on the scene and I'm moving too fast! [Bridge | breakdown | stripped-back contrast | spoken word] They thought I was just a shadow. A reflection of the Knight. But wings are meant for flying. (I'm taking flight) [Chorus | anthemic chorus | syncopated drop | 808 sub bass | snare rolls] BOY WONDER, taking the thunder! (Watch me fly) Never pulling under, ripping it asunder! Out of the shadows, making my own name This ain't just a sidekick playing in the game! [Outro | fade out | distant echoing] Taking flight... (Watch me fly) Gotham city lights... [adlib whoa] Robin out.
