[Intro: gritty, low-fi, cowbell tick, vocal chop "yeah - ooh - yeah", heavy 808 slide, dark] Yeah... uh... Let it drag... [Verse 1: phonk rap flow, dark, 16 bars] Midnight ride, blacked out whip, no lights on the dash Hobbs to the void, desert heat in a cold stash Low-fi soul, high-grade smoke in the ashtray Devil on my shoulder tellin' me it's the fast way 808s distorted, knockin' dents in the concrete Cowbell tick-tock, hear the reaper on beat Grit on my boots, blood on the soles that I walk Memphis in my veins, hear the pain when I talk Can't trust a smile, everybody got a mask on Pray to the sky but the sky got the flash off Cut from the dirt, had to grow through the cracks Phonk in my chest, let it blow through the racks Eyes low, mind high, never sleep in the deep Shadows follow close when you creep in the street One life, one shot, no rewind, no save Born in the dust, gonna die in the wave [Pre-Chorus: chopped vocal, filtered, building 808] Hold that low end, let it rumble Chop that vocal, let it stumble Dark nights turn a king to a sinner Countin' pain for the winter [Chorus: catchy, heavy 808, cowbell lead, vocal chops, 8 bars] Draggin' through the night hear the 808 boom Cowbell in the smoke fillin' up the room Dark phonk soul can't escape from the gloom Low-fi life comin' straight from the tomb Draggin' through the night hear the 808 boom Heartbeat on the dash gotta make it go vroom Lost in the drift with the moon as a witness Phonk till I'm gone that's a code that's a business [Verse 2: darker flow, 16 bars, distorted bass] Second verse, same curse, deeper in the trench Leather on the seat smell like sweat and revenge Pocket full of nothin' but my mind full of millions Ghost in the rearview ridin' with my feelings Distorted truth, all these lies sound pretty Whole city sleepin' I been up in the gritty Talk is cheap but the bassline expensive Every scar I got came with a lesson extensive Nightcrawler, head banger, knuckles on the wheel Can't fake phonk, you either live it or you steal Low end wobble make the ground start to quake Chop-chop the sample till the speakers break No love lost, no love found, no love kept Only time I pray is when the 808 wept From the dust bowl to a gold soul watch me flip 130 on the dash let that cowbell tick [Pre-Chorus: filtered, building] Hold that low end, let it rumble Chop that vocal, let it stumble Dark nights turn a king to a sinner Countin' pain for the winter [Chorus: full drums, distorted 808, anthemic, 8 bars] Draggin' through the night hear the 808 boom Cowbell in the smoke fillin' up the room Dark phonk soul can't escape from the gloom Low-fi life comin' straight from the tomb Draggin' through the night hear the 808 boom Heartbeat on the dash gotta make it go vroom Lost in the drift with the moon as a witness Phonk till I'm gone that's a code that's a business [Bridge: beat switch, half-time, only cowbell + 808 + vocal chop "run run run"] Strip it down, just the bell and the bass Whisper in the haze - run, run, run Let it drag... let it drag... Now bring it back... [Chorus: final, hardest, doubled 808, 8 bars] Draggin' through the night hear the 808 boom Cowbell in the smoke fillin' up the room Dark phonk soul can't escape from the gloom Low-fi life comin' straight from the tomb Draggin' through the night hear the 808 boom Heartbeat on the dash gotta make it go vroom Lost in the drift with the moon as a witness Phonk till I'm gone that's a code that's a business [Outro: instrumental fade, cowbell tick, 808 fade, vocal chop "gone..."] Tick... tick... tick... gone...
