Intro] [Atmospheric synth pads fade in over a heavy, knocking kick drum] [Male Voice: Yeah. You see the vision but the door stays locked. It’s a heavy weight.] [Verse 1: Male Rapper] [Modern trap flow, melodic delivery, high internal rhyme density] Locked in a cage of the gold that I gathered Silver and stone but the soul is what’s shattered I’m climbing the peak but I’m feeling the valley Counting the wins while I’m losing the tally I’m chasing the ghost of a man in the mirror The further I run, well, the vision gets clearer I’m silent in thunder, I’m loud in the stillness Wealth is the symptom and health is the illness It’s tragic, it’s magic, it’s all in the flow The more that I learn is the less that I know. [Chorus: Female Singer] [Powerful, layered R&B harmonies] I hold the power but I’m paralyzed in place Running toward a finish line I can’t even trace I’m the winner losing everything I ever had to give Dying just to find a brand-new reason how to live It’s a beautiful paradox, (beautiful paradox). [Verse 2: Male Rapper] [Switching flows, technical but musical, melodic delivery] Diamond reflections, I’m blinded by light Working all day just to sleep through the night I’m rich in the pockets but broke in the chest I’m seeking for peace while I’m fueled by unrest Accelerate fast then I hit the percussion A beautiful mess, yeah, that’s out of discussion The ceiling is glass but the floor is the sky I’m living the truth while I’m telling a lie Complex in the simple, I’m lost in the find The shackles are off but they’re still in my mind It’s heavy, it’s weightless, it’s all in the flow The more that I learn is the less that I know. [Chorus: Female Singer] [Powerful, layered R&B harmonies] I hold the power but I’m paralyzed in place Running toward a finish line I can’t even trace I’m the winner losing everything I ever had to give Dying just to find a brand-new reason how to live It’s a beautiful paradox, (beautiful paradox). [Outro] [Melodic trap fade out] The winner losing... Dying to live... Paradox... [End]
