How come Hip Hop

Queensbro
Queensbro
Intimate 90s New York storytelling hip-hop, 88–90 BPM, dusty and soulful, Keep the entire record centered on straight rap delivery: conversational, poetic, reflective, wounded and increasingly bitter, Production starts immediately with a melancholy jazz-soul loop: warm Rhodes, muted upright-style bass, faint acoustic guitar, soft organ undertones and dusty vinyl texture, Hard but natural boom-bap drums—deep rounded kick, crisp dry snare, loose swung hats and subtle percussion, No modern trap drums and no huge cinematic builds, Queensbro should rap close to the microphone with detailed storytelling cadence, internal rhymes and controlled emotion, Let the beat breathe around every line, Behind him, use a rich soulful female alto with an earthy, slightly raspy tone, She never takes over the record, She appears mainly as emotional punctuation: Queensbro: “How come…” Female backing: “How come…” Queensbro: “How come they can never love you the way you love them?” Female backing softly u

How come How come Hooow cooome How Come How come they can never love you the way you love them How come the love you get back never good enough amen You telling me the sky is really red when we all no it’s blue Have seven thousand ninjas following you Telling me its not for validation I ain’t gonna lie bout ready to stop my participation In this circulation yes this circus In my mind and imagination it’s just us No more provocative pictures Kissing the camera or sexy videos Site goes dark and everybody knows Where your heart, soul and body flows To me and only me there’s no large audience or solo soliloquies in the common section No more reposts or honorable mentions By others that mean nothing to you All that’s left is my love for you A man could live with their entire love entity But love remains a fatherless child no paternity Was this thing called love really meant to be How come every girl I love eventually shit on me Completely shift on me A distant love a far of fantasy My heart completely drained entirely empty Body still cryo cold Frozen shoulder frozen bolder crushing feelings Every thought in my mind is agonizing pain Reeling from under a paralyzing rain Of thoughts and lack of retribution There’s no reciprocation of love no contribution Pure love started with a victim of devolution More deaths of the heart than a revolution Why can’t my love be given back Why can’t the adoration I seek start to stack from an absent level Is this the constant goal of the devil For me to live with a void Avoid every female that wants my heart destroyed How come they can never love you the way you love them How come the love you get back never good enough amen River always runs dry Have me up late at night losing sleep asking why oh why Getting stomach cramps laying on my side Feetal position in the dark choking on my pride Just want to be alone and just want to hide From everything and every one Love marathon is never done How come they can never love you the way you love them How come the love you get back never good enough amen How come How come Now I’m feeling like a king with a tilted crown Strong smile transformed to a crooked frown All love lost no amount of care can stop the drown I ain’t gonna lie Im really feeling bitter Better to be alone than a snake hearted chick heart break sitter A force that has no good meant for me I realize now this thing called love was never really meant to be forever How come they can never love you they way you love them How come the love you get back never good enough amen Hooow cooome How Come
