**Intro (6 bars)** *(Whispers echo)* **Deimos:** You hear me, don’t you… late when it’s quiet? **Rapper:** Yeah… voice in my head, but I try to deny it **Deimos:** I been watchin’ your grind, all that pain you confide in **Rapper:** Who the hell are you? Why you lurk where my mind is? **Deimos:** I’m the one with the answers you keep tryin’ to find… **Rapper:** Or the devil in disguise tryna take what’s mine… **Verse 1 (16 bars)** **Deimos:** I can give you the world, all the lights, all the fame Turn your losses to wins, make ‘em scream your name No more stress, no more nights feelin’ broke in the rain You were built for the throne, I can fast-track the lane **Rapper:** Fast money sound good, but what’s under the deal? Every shortcut you pitch never seem to be real **Deimos:** Just your soul, that’s the price, but you won’t even feel You’ll be numb to the pain, you’ll be high off the thrill **Rapper:** Seen too many get lost chasin’ glitter and gold Turned cold, sold out, ain’t got nothin’ to hold **Deimos:** That’s the weak, you’re different, you were chosen, I’m told I can make you immortal, never fade, never fold **Rapper:** Immortal in name but my spirit erased? What’s the point if I’m rich but I can’t feel my faith? **Deimos:** Faith don’t pay bills, I can change your whole fate Sign the line, take the leap, it’s a risk you should take **Chorus (8 bars)** **Deimos:** Sign right here, I’ll rewrite your life **Rapper:** What’s a crown if it’s cut with a knife? **Deimos:** Fame and power, everything you chase **Rapper:** But at what cost? My soul? My grace? **Deimos:** They’ll adore you, you’ll never feel pain **Rapper:** That ain’t love if it’s bought with chains **Both:** In the mirror, who remains the same? War with a demon playin’ mind games **Verse 2 (16 bars)** **Deimos:** Look—visions of stages, arenas packed tight Flashbulbs poppin’, you the star of the night Mama livin’ in luxury, finally alright Everything you ever wanted, I can give it tonight **Rapper:** But I see past the smoke, what you hide in the frame Empty eyes in the crowd, all the love feel the same **Deimos:** That’s the price of success, every legend got pain You want glory or comfort? You can’t have both lanes **Rapper:** What about peace? What about who I am? I ain’t tryna lose myself just to fit in a plan **Deimos:** Who you are right now? Broke, lost, no fans I can turn you to a god, put the world in your hands **Rapper:** Or a puppet on strings, every move you control **Deimos:** Nah, just guidance… I’m feedin’ your role **Rapper:** Sounds like chains dressed up lookin’ like gold I’d rather walk alone than be bought and sold **Chorus (8 bars)** **Deimos:** Sign right here, I’ll rewrite your life **Rapper:** What’s a crown if it’s cut with a knife? **Deimos:** Fame and power, everything you chase **Rapper:** But at what cost? My soul? My grace? **Deimos:** They’ll adore you, you’ll never feel pain **Rapper:** That ain’t love if it’s bought with chains **Both:** In the mirror, who remains the same? War with a demon playin’ mind games **Verse 3 (16 bars)** **Deimos:** Time runnin’ out, this your moment to rise Every second you wait is a dream that dies You can stay in the dark or step into the skies All it takes one move, just a pen and a sign **Rapper:** Heart beat heavy, got the weight on my chest All the nights I felt like I ain’t nothin’ but stress All the doors gettin’ slammed, every failed test Now temptation standin’ here, offerin’ the best **Deimos:** Exactly, I’m the answer, I’m the key to the gate You can leave all the struggle, elevate your fate **Rapper:** Or betray who I am just to feel like I’m great That’s a permanent loss I can’t recreate **Deimos:** Last chance, don’t let it slip away **Rapper:** I’d rather fight for mine than be led astray Put the pen down slow, let the silence stay… I choose my soul, I’ll find my own way **Chorus (8 bars)** **Deimos:** You could’ve had it all, every dream in sight **Rapper:** I still got me, I can sleep at night **Deimos:** Fame fades fast when you miss your chance **Rapper:** Real lasts longer than a quick advance **Deimos:** I’ll be back when you feel that pain **Rapper:** I know… you live in my brain **Both:** Eternal war I can’t restrain My personal demon… callin’ my name **Outro (6 bars)** **Deimos (fading):** I never leave… I just wait in the dark… **Rapper:** And I never fold… gotta stand with heart… **Deimos:** Every doubt, every fear, that’s where I start… **Rapper:** But I fight back harder, that’s my art… **Both:** Light and shadow forever opposed… A man and his demon… and the path he chose…
