The Signal in the Smog

Rap, Trap, Dark, Piano, 808s, 85 BPM, D minor, Gritty

[Intro | City ambience | Rain | Static | Lo-fi]
(Gotham... she's breathing heavy tonight)
(GCPD, unit 4, we have a 10-30 in progress...)
[Verse 1 | Male Vocal | Rap | Sparse | Gritty]
Coffee's gone cold in the mug, ash on the desk
Staring at the files of the damned and the rest
Badge feels heavy, fifty pounds of brass
[adlib uh]
Watching all the shadows moving through the broken glass
Got the mayor on line one, mob on line two
Rookies in the bullpen don't know what they stepping to
[adlib yeah]
I'm the line in the dirt, I'm the wall in the dark
Lighting up a strike just to see a little spark
[Pre-Chorus | Build-Up | Rising tension | Piano]
[Defiant]
They think this city's dead, they think the rot has won
But I ain't putting down my badge, and I ain't dropping down my gun
[Chorus | High Energy | 808 sub bass | Brass Stabs | Punchy]
Throw the signal in the smog, light the fire in the sky
GCPD on the block, we ain't letting Gotham die
Yeah the alleys might be cold, and the villains might be sick
But we holding down the precinct, yeah we laying every brick
Throw the signal in the smog!
[Verse 2 | Rap | Medium Energy | Drum Machine]
Trench coat wet, water pooling at my boots
Dealing with the clowns and the riddles and the suits
Arkham's got a leak, Blackgate's on the edge
[adlib boom]
Making a deal with the bat on the ledge
He works in the night, I work in the light
Both of us swinging at the exact same fight
[adlib ok]
Corruption in the ranks, rats in the floor
But Gordon's kicking down the door
[Bridge | Breakdown | Spoken word | Rain | Silence]
[Melancholic]
Sometimes I wonder if it makes a difference...
Every time we lock 'em up, they break right back out.
[Defiant]
But what's the alternative? Surrender?
Not on my watch.
[Final Chorus | Energy: High | Explosive | Full band]
Throw the signal in the smog, light the fire in the sky
GCPD on the block, we ain't letting Gotham die
Yeah the alleys might be cold, and the villains might be sick
But we holding down the precinct, yeah we laying every brick
Throw the signal in the smog!
[Outro | Fade out | City ambience | Rain]
(Keep the light on...)
(Unit 4, returning to base...)
(Signal's up.)
