Nine Lives to Lose

140 BPM | Trap | Key: D minor Mood: Dark | Energy: Medium ​[Intro | autotuned delivery | tuned female vocal | light reverb] [Whisper] Gotham sleeps, but the cat's awake... ​[Verse 1 | chant hook | layered ad-libs | stereo panning echoes] [Rap] [Sultry] Stepping on the ledge, shadows on the glass. [adlib uh] Silent in the night, moving way too fast. [adlib yeah] Claws out, leather suit, perfectly designed. Leaving GCPD and the Bat behind. ​[Pre-Chorus | build-up | rising tension] [Defiant] Whip strikes... cutting through the dark. Laser grids drop when I leave my mark. ​[Energy: High] [Chorus | syncopated drop | 808 sub bass | off-beat hi-hats | snare rolls] I own the night, I take what I please. Bringing all of Gotham right down to its knees. (right down to its knees) Got nine lives, baby, and nothing to lose. I'm the feline phantom on the evening news! ​[Verse 2 | raspy lead vocal | confident tone | light vocal grit] [Rap] Bat's on my tail but he likes the chase. A little bit of danger and a taste of grace. [adlib boom] Safe cracking, jewel snatching, slipping through the vault. If they can't lock me up, well, it ain't my fault. ​[Bridge | breakdown | half-time breakdown | minimal instrumentation] [Spoken word] [Mocking laughter] You think you can catch me? Cute. ​[Final Chorus | Energy: High | explosive] I own the night, I take what I please. Bringing all of Gotham right down to its knees. (right down to its knees) NINE LIVES BABY and nothing to lose! I'm the feline phantom on the evening news! ​[Outro: Fade out | ambient | distant echo] [Whispers] Catch me if you can................
