Tight Grip On Me

rap, Moody melodic pop-rap with male vocals: spacious piano chords, airy pads, and a warm sub bass, Verses ride a head-nod groove with crisp drums and subtle vocal chops; chorus opens wide with stacked harmonies and a soaring top-line, Occasional half-time switch and filtered drops to spotlight confessional bars, then full beat slams back in for the hook, pop, male vocals, emotional, world

[Intro] World gone wild Screens glow, hearts cold I been talking to my shadow Like it’s someone I know [Verse 1] Everybody faded on a weekday Laughing while they slide into a deep grave Chasing every high til the rent late Running from the mirror and the heartbreak Plastic cups, same bar, same small talk Dreams on the floor with the spilled shots They say, "We young, we forever, we got time" But I see the lines in they tired eyes [Chorus] These crazy days, these wicked streets People lost, don’t know how to speak Drinking, smoking out their dreams While hope’s got a tight grip on me Life keeps yelling right in my ear "Time moves fast, you’re not promised next year" So I’m done dying slow with the scene When hope’s got a tight, tight grip on me [Verse 2] Scroll, scroll, envy in a blue light They compare, then they drown it in a long night Posting big smiles, but they broke inside Flex for the feed, then they run and hide I seen good kids fall into a quick fix One hit, then they don’t make it past six They call that living, I just call it losing You can numb the pain, but your soul still bruising [Bridge] [low vocal register] I been close to the edge, I admit that Staring at the pills in a dish, had to step back Heard my heartbeat drum like a kick track Little voice inside said, "You were made for a big path" [falsetto ad-libs] So when the world says, "Quit, just sink" I raise my glass up, water in my drink I’m tryna feel everything I see ‘Cause life keeps screaming through my teeth
