Five Minutes
[Intro] [Deep smooth baritone, slow cadence, close-mic, solemn spoken delivery] Look at the road behind me. It's a long way down... and there's no turning back. [Verse 1] [Fast aggressive Boom-Bap rap flow, dense syllable delivery, double-time pocket, sharp internal rhymes, NO melodic singing] I got the city noise bangin' in my ears and the cold runnin' straight through my bones, Lookin' at the worn-out faces in the street with a million fuckin' stories untold. Man, I'm scrapin' off the dust from my threads with a heavy iron burden on my back, Stuck inside the hustle, strictly grindin' on default, keepin' all my real thoughts locked on track. Yeah, I'm walkin' this asphalt, talkin' to the pavement, countin' up the steps to the beat, Got a chest full of bass and a head full of ghosts that I'm duckin' on a cold dark street. [Pre-Hook] [Hard-hitting Hip-Hop spoken-rap, aggressive Boom-Bap cadence, tight rhythmic phrasing, escalating tension, NO singing, NO melodic delivery] Five minutes of the fame. That's all they wanna sell. You give 'em your soul, They give you hell. [Hook] [Hard-hitting Hip-Hop hook, aggressive Boom-Bap rap delivery, deep raspy baritone, punchy rhythmic attack, strong downbeat emphasis, dramatic intensity, NO singing, NO blues vocal phrasing] Nobody knows your name, you motherfucker. Why do you wanna chase the fame? Nobody knows your name... What do you have left to lose? You're nothing but a goddamn ghost, Playin' raw steel blues. [Verse 2] [Deep raspy baritone, gritty storytelling rap, deep Boom-Bap pocket, stubborn intensity] Ain't no soft motherfucker ever steppin' in your boots, Get used to the silence... get back to your roots. Tighten up them laces with your chin held high, Underneath the weight of a cold-hearted sky. Only you know the miles that your Harley done bled, Only you count the ghosts hanging inside your head. Only you feel the sting in that cheap bourbon pour, When you're drownin' out the noise and you slam the fuckin' door. [Pre-Hook] [Hard-hitting Hip-Hop spoken-rap, aggressive Boom-Bap cadence, tight rhythmic phrasing, escalating tension, NO singing, NO melodic delivery] Five minutes of the fame. That's all they wanna sell. You give 'em your soul, They give you hell. [Guitar Break] [Short blues guitar break, 4–8 bars, intense emotional bend, no extended solo] [Hook] [Hard-hitting Hip-Hop hook, aggressive Boom-Bap rap delivery, deep raspy baritone, punchy rhythmic attack, strong downbeat emphasis, dramatic intensity, NO singing, NO blues vocal phrasing] Nobody knows your name, you motherfucker. Why do you wanna chase the fame? Nobody knows your name... What do you have left to lose? You're nothing but a goddamn ghost, Playin' raw steel blues. [Outro] [Barely breathing baritone whisper, intimate, fading tension] Just the road... And one more pour. Fuck 'em all. Only me and my ghosts. [Fade Out]
