The E S S Worked
[Intro – Echo | calm intelligent female spoken-sung voice | Japanese-English sound/cadence | precise technical delivery | slight vocal echo | theatrical airport tannoy station announcement | tannoy chime | beat cut] "Official report." "Subject: Night Shift morale." "Status: unusually high." "Cause: E S S." [Pause] "Officially." [Crowd – Kiwi crowd chant | sarcastic, drawn-out] "Yeah... right." [Bass Drop] [Verse One – Kilo | mature male rap voice | natural Northern English accent | confident cheeky grime flow | tight flow switches | precise internal rhymes | smug, grinning, bouncing] Lights still up in the studio, Whole Night Shift on a victory roll, Quafe cans stacked on the mixin' desk, Everybody grinnin', everybody blessed. Chief's on the sofa with the credit in his hand, Snorin' like a man with a master plan, Room feels lighter, like a door blew wide, Like a weight walked out and just stayed outside. Blitzd's blunt trail curlin' up past the lights, Four-twenty dab and a "yeah nah" tonight. [Vex | low backing vocals and hype ad-libs] (Yeah nah!) [Spoken – Chief Vinnegar DooShay | raspy, deep, charismatic baritone | funk | spoken, proud] "THE E S S WORKED." [Crowd – Kiwi crowd chant | sarcastic, drawn-out] "Yeah... right." [Hook – Raven | female vocalist | smooth smoky melodic hook | Spanish-English edge | sharp cadence | sly, catchy, dripping with sarcasm] The E S S worked, Chief says it like it's gospel, Sure it did, mate. Sure. [Crowd – Kiwi crowd chant | sarcastic, drawn-out | call and response] (Yeah... RIGHT!) The E S S worked! (YEAH... RIGHT!) [Verse Two – Kilo | mature male rap voice | natural Northern English accent | confident cheeky grime flow | tight flow switches | precise internal rhymes | flow switch, faster, cheekier] Yeah, the Chief's got a theory, we let him keep it, Got a secret in the room and we all just keep it, Tripwire's clean, every chain's on the map, No one's diggin' through the ruins of a half-scanned trap. Bookmarks honest, warps all true, No surprise little plan that nobody knew, Muh's PIP folder's sittin' empty on the shelf, Stamped "case closed," and it closed itself. Chair by the door? Yeah, it's pushed in neat, Somebody grab it, Phyve needs a seat. Chief says sessions did it? Mate, that's nice, Raven, play the hook, play it twice. [Vex | low backing vocals and hype ad-libs] (Twice!) [Spoken – Chief Vinnegar DooShay | raspy, deep, charismatic baritone | funk | spoken, proud] "FOUR WEEKS OF SESSIONS. VERY EXPENSIVE. IT WORKED." [Crowd – Kiwi crowd chant | sarcastic, drawn-out] "Yeah... right." [Hook – Raven | female vocalist | smooth smoky melodic hook | Spanish-English edge | sharp cadence | sly, catchy, dripping with sarcasm] The E S S worked, Chief says it like it's gospel, Sure it did, mate. Sure. [Crowd – Kiwi crowd chant | sarcastic, drawn-out | call and response] (Yeah... RIGHT!) The E S S worked! (YEAH... RIGHT!) [Beat Cut] [Bridge – Raven | female vocalist | smooth smoky melodic hook | Spanish-English edge | sharp cadence | half-sung, teasing, laughing] We could say it out loud, We could tell it to the crowd, But the Chief paid good for his session, So we'll let him keep his lesson. [Vex | low backing vocals and hype ad-libs] (Yeah nah, yeah nah.) [Tannoy Break – Echo | calm intelligent female spoken-sung voice | Japanese-English sound/cadence | precise technical delivery | slight vocal echo | theatrical airport tannoy station announcement | dry, deadpan] [Tannoy Chime] "Correction to the report." "Cause of improved morale: E S S." [Crowd – Kiwi crowd chant | sarcastic, drawn-out] "Yeah... right." [Echo | calm intelligent female spoken-sung voice | Japanese-English sound/cadence | precise technical delivery | slight vocal echo | theatrical airport tannoy station announcement | dry, deadpan] "And... other factors." "Other factors will not be named." [Bass Drop] [Final Hook – Raven | female vocalist | smooth smoky melodic hook | Spanish-English edge | sharp cadence | full crowd, highest energy] The E S S worked, Chief says it like it's gospel, Sure it did, mate. Sure. [Crowd – Kiwi crowd chant | sarcastic, drawn-out | call and response] (Yeah... RIGHT!) The E S S worked! (YEAH... RIGHT!) The E S S worked! (YEAH... RIGHT!) [Outro – Kilo | mature male rap voice | natural Northern English accent | confident cheeky grime flow | tight flow switches | precise internal rhymes | spoken, grinning] "Night, Chief." "Great sessions." [Rewind] [Echo | calm intelligent female spoken-sung voice | Japanese-English sound/cadence | precise technical delivery | slight vocal echo | theatrical airport tannoy station announcement | bone-dry] "Really. Best one yet." [Crowd – Kiwi crowd chant | sarcastic, drawn-out | fading laughter] "Yeah... right."
