[Intro] [Solo acoustic guitar loop, tape hiss] (Yeah... when the fog rolls in) (Look up... I got you) [Verse 1] [Beat Drop: 808 bass, crisp snare, rolling hi-hats] I seen the darkest tides pull the best people down, Driftin' too far out where they're scared they might drown. So I planted both feet on the edge of the stone, Made a promise to the real ones they won’t be alone. They don't see the cracks in the foundation wall, They just need to know that I'm standing through it all. Unwavering support, help 'em stand when they fall, A pillar in the dark just waiting on the call. [Chorus] [Melodic sing-rap, layered harmonies, wide stereo reverb] When the fog rolls in and you lose your way, I'll be the beacon in the dark turnin' night to day. Takin' on the storm when the cold wind blows, Long as my brothers and my family make it home. Yeah, I keep it one-hundred and I shine bright, So the lost ones see it's gonna be alright. [Verse 2] [Steady groove, punchy 808 bounce] It gets quiet on the cliff when the night starts to creep, Carryin' a weight that don't ever let me sleep. Battle with the burnout, fightin' off the cold, Holdin' down a light worth more than any gold. Pressure on my chest, but I never break stride, Lockin' in the vision and pushin' back against the tide. If you're driftin' in the mist, lost on the inside, Just know you got a real one standin' down to ride. [Chorus] [Full energy, layered vocals, soaring delivery] When the fog rolls in and you lose your way, I'll be the beacon in the dark turnin' night to day. Takin' on the storm when the cold wind blows, Long as my brothers and my family make it home. Yeah, I keep it one-hundred and I shine bright, So the lost ones see it's gonna be alright. [Outro] [Beat Breakdown: Drums fade out, solo acoustic guitar, tape delay] (Gotta keep the light lit...) (You ain't lost no more...) [Fade to End]
