[Intro] (Heavy atmospheric synth hums) (Sound of a lighter flick) Yeah... Uh-huh. Moves made in silence sound the loudest. Mafia type energy. Let’s get it. [Chorus] Midnight calculus, I’m adding up the weight (Weight!) Ghost in the building, put some digits on the plate (Racks!) Sub-bass rattling, it’s shaking up the floor I just hit the ceiling, then I went and bought some more. Triple time the hats, yeah, the rhythm never sleeps (Brrrrt!) Promises are shallow but the water’s running deep Cold steel, gold grill, keeping up the pace I can see the envy written all across your face (Yeah!) [Verse 1] Came from the basement where the lighting stayed dim Now I’m in the penthouse, looking over the rim Life is a gamble, put your chips on the black I never look behind, no, there’s no turning back (Never!) I got the syncopation locked, moving like a clock Kicks hitting harder than a hammer on a rock (Boom!) Streetwise, book smart, blending up the two I was doing numbers while you worried 'bout your crew. Ad-libs popping like the heat in July I’m a self-made monster, look me dead in the eye. [Chorus] Midnight calculus, I’m adding up the weight (Weight!) Ghost in the building, put some digits on the plate (Racks!) Sub-bass rattling, it’s shaking up the floor I just hit the ceiling, then I went and bought some more. Triple time the hats, yeah, the rhythm never sleeps (Brrrrt!) Promises are shallow but the water’s running deep Cold steel, gold grill, keeping up the pace I can see the envy written all across your face. [Verse 2] Reflections in the glass, yeah, the bottle’s half empty Success is a siren, and she’s trying to tempt me (I see you) I felt the pain before I ever felt the shine Now I’m drinking liquid gold, wasting no more time. Cadence switching up, now I’m gliding on the beat Rubber on the asphalt, feeling all the heat They love the way I move, they love the way I talk But they can’t find the rhythm when it’s time for them to walk (Facts!) Melancholic piano, ghost in the machine I’m the only one awake inside the digital dream. [Bridge] (Beat drops out, only the eerie piano and a filtered kick remain) They want the crown, but they can't bear the thorns I was born in the static, I was raised in the storms. (Hi-hat rolls build up rapidly) Bring it back... now! [Chorus] Midnight calculus, I’m adding up the weight (Weight!) Ghost in the building, put some digits on the plate (Racks!) Sub-bass rattling, it’s shaking up the floor I just hit the ceiling, then I went and bought some more. Triple time the hats, yeah, the rhythm never sleeps (Brrrrt!) Promises are shallow but the water’s running deep Cold steel, gold grill, keeping up the pace I can see the envy written all across your face. [Outro] (808s slowly fade) (Deep reverb on vocals) Add it up... Keep counting... It’s just math, man. Darkness is a canvas. Yeah. (Final synth swell and silence)
