--- **(Intro)** *(Filtered synth pads open up. A heavy Afro-fusion drum loop kicks in: Thumping kick, sharp rimshots, and a rhythmic shaker. Someone whispers: "Light it up… yeah.")* **(Verse 1 - RAP - Fast, percussive flow)** I came from the shadow, the basement, the cement Transforming the pressure to gold in a moment They wanted me static, they wanted me silent But I am the riot, the holy, the violent Checked the DNA, I’m a star in the flesh Breathin’ out fire, no room for the rest I was the underdog, now I’m the wolf Jumped off the ledge and I didn't see the gulf Calculated risk, yeah the vision is precise Turning my cold nights into pure ice! **(Pre-Chorus - AFRO/R&B - Melodic, "Bouncy" vibe)** Oh, baby, watch me move (watch me move) I got nothing left to prove (left to prove) The rhythm’s in my marrow, the spirit’s in the bone I’m building up an empire, I’m never on my own Oya, tell them... The sun is coming out to play! **(Chorus - THE FUSION - Catchy, Melodic, Afro-Pop Hook)** Energy, energy, radiating through the street Feel the friction, feel the heat, glowing from my head to feet I’m a Prism, I’m a King, I’m a vibe, I’m an ancient thing (Ooh-ooh) We don’t chase the light, we *are* the light (Ooh-ooh) Everything is gold tonight! Neon alchemistry... Living in the melody! **(Verse 2 - R&B/MELODIC RAP - Smooth, "Late-night" flow)** (Yeah) Slow it down, let the bass line breathe I got tricks up my silk-stained sleeve They try to block the vision with the smoke and the mirrors But my third eye is open and the frequency’s clearer I’m dripping in "Lumina", custom-made grace Can’t find my orbit in outer space R&B soul with a Hip-Hop heart Afro-vibration, I’m off the chart! **(Bridge - AFRO-BEAT BREAKDOWN - Heavy Percussion)** *(Drums get louder, vocals become rhythmic chants)* (Work!) Light it up, make it burn. (Work!) It’s my time, it’s my turn. (Work!) From the mud to the sun. (Work!) We are the Chosen, the One! Shake the darkness off the shoulders We are getting brighter, not older! WATCH! ME! SHINE! **(Chorus - THE FUSION)** Energy, energy, radiating through the street Feel the friction, feel the heat, glowing from my head to feet I’m a Prism, I’m a King, I’m a vibe, I’m an ancient thing (Ooh-ooh) We don’t chase the light, we *are* the light (Ooh-ooh) Everything is gold tonight! **(Outro - R&B FADE)** Gold tonight... Yeah, we glowing, yeah we flowing Neon alchemy... (Ad-libs: It’s a bright ting, you know? Light-work. Pure gold.) *(The beat strips back to just the shaker and a deep, pulsing bass note. Silence.)* ---
