[Melody Chord in F Sharp Minor] [Evolving production] [Balanced Levels] [Big drum package] [Perfect EQ) [Clean mix] [Hard Compression] [Strong performance] [Proper pronunciation] [Dry Reverb] [Good vocal chain] [Vocal Cuts Through Mix] [Final Vocal Mix] [Final Master] [Intro is Chorus]: [catchy] [combination of rap and sing] From rags to riches, I climbed so high, But I lost my way, and now I question why. Had it all, but I’m empty inside, Forgot the simple truths, and now I can’t hide. From the top to the bottom, it’s a hard pill to swallow, Regrets and shadows, as the bright lights mellow. Verse 1: [sing] Started from the bottom, had no place to call home, Chasing dreams in the dark, all alone. Had a vision, made a plan, rose up from the ground, With every step I took, I was gaining that crown. Pre-Chorus: [sing] [ambient] Lights were shining, people cheering loud, Success was a high, I was floating on a cloud. But the riches and the fame, they came at a cost, Forgot the things that mattered, got so lost. [Repeat Chorus] Rap Verse 1: I had nothing, then I hustled, made a name in the game, Now I’m staring at the mirror, all I see is the fame. From the struggle to the limelight, the grind was real, But success is a high, and the void it reveals. Made the deals, lived the thrill, but it’s all just a show, Lost touch with the heart, and it’s starting to show. In the penthouse, sipping wine, but it’s a lonely view, All this gold and glory, but it’s missing what’s true. Verse 2: [sing] Gold chains and fast cars, they filled up my space, But I traded love and joy for a high-class chase. Had the world at my feet, but I was never free, In the mirror of my soul, I could barely see. Pre-Chorus: [sing] [ambient] Used to dream of the stars, now I’m chasing the past, What I gained in the future, I’ve lost in the past. The fame and the fortune, they’ve left me so cold, Wishing I could rewind, take back what I sold. Bridge: [sing] I remember the days, when the world was so wide, With dreams in my heart and a friend by my side. Now the gold’s lost its shine, and the crowds have gone still, I’m searching for meaning, a void I can’t fill. [Repeat Chorus] Outro: [rap verse] Chasing paper, lost my soul in the glitter and gold, From the block to the boardroom, but my heart’s grown cold. Flashing lights, big dreams, but they’re fading away, The deeper I dive, the more I stray. They said the world was mine, but I’m feeling confined, In a palace of shadows, with no peace of mind. Had it all in my grasp, but I let it slip through, Now I’m searching for a way to reclaim what was true.
