Forever Mine

**(Intro)**
(Sound of a lighter flicking. A deep exhale.)
(Beat kicks in with a sudden, aggressive slide)

**(Verse 1)**
(Fast, percussive flow—almost conversational but rapid)
Look,
Two AM, gliding through the South side,
Windows tinted, keep the circle tight, no outside.
You’re the only one who knows the ghost in my head,
The things I never told the mandem, the things left unsaid.
I was chasing paper, chasing ghosts, chasing a dream,
Until you stepped in and ripped the fabric of the seam.
You saw the grit, saw the grime, saw the scars on my wrist,
A love like a gamble, a high-stakes risk, a twist.
Now I’m paranoid, checking the mirror, who’s following who?
But the only thing I’m chasing in this city is you.
You’re my sanctuary, my silence in the middle of the war,
The only door I’m knocking on, the only thing I’m fighting for.
And if the road gets rocky, if the feds come knocking at the door,
I’ll take the wrap, take the blame, take the hit, take the floor—
Just to keep your name out the mix, keep your spirit clean,
The purest thing this concrete jungle has ever seen.

**(Chorus)**
(Slower, melodic but with a heavy bass hit on every beat)
Lock it down, bolt the door, keep the key in my grip,
One slip of the tongue and the whole world flip.
But you’re forever mine, yeah, you’re anchored in the deep,
A promise that I’m keeping while the rest of them sleep.
Forever mine, no matter the cost, no matter the crime,
I’d freeze the whole city just to buy us some time.
Forever mine. 
(Pause)
Yeah, forever mine.

**(Bridge)**
(Beat strips back to just the piano and a snap. Flow is a whispered, fast-paced delivery)
They think it’s a game, they think it’s a play,
They don’t see the way you hold the demons at bay.
You’re the ink in my skin, you’re the blood in the vein,
The only medicine that can numb all the pain.
I don't need a throne, I don't need the crown,
As long as you're the one who keeps my feet on the ground.
(Beat builds up—faster, faster)
Ride for me, die for me, lie for me, fly for me,
If the world turns cold, baby, come and huddle by me.

**(Chorus)**
(Full energy, heavy 808s, layering vocals for a bigger sound)
Lock it down, bolt the door, keep the key in my grip,
One slip of the tongue and the whole world flip.
But you’re forever mine, yeah, you’re anchored in the deep,
A promise that I’m keeping while the rest of them sleep.
Forever mine, no matter the cost, no matter the crime,
I’d freeze the whole city just to buy us some time.
Forever mine.
(Pause)
Yeah, forever mine.

**(Outro)**
(Beat fades out slowly. Sound of a car driving away into the distance)
Stay tucked.
Don't let 'em see you.
Forever.
(Silence)
