Who's Biggest?

Horrorcore trap rap, dark cavernous reverb swallowing the spaces between hits; crushing low bass, distorted 808 slides, clipped kick and snare, sparse eerie keys; hard trap bounce at 140 BPM; cocky, forceful male rap with sharp spoken interjections and sudden beat-drop pauses

V6-MINI

[Low bass. Sneakers against concrete. Distant yelling through the halls.]

[Verse 1]

I'm new in the block, just walked through the gate
No gear in my pockets, but I ain't here to wait
They looked at me funny, said, "Kid, good luck"
I looked at the fists on me like, "That's enough"

Everybody's got something, everybody's got a name
Everybody's got scars from playing this game
I got no fancy tricks, no weapon in sight
But I've got two hands, and I'm ready to fight

[Beat kicks harder]

They say beat the biggest and you'll be okay
So I'm looking for the biggest one walking my way
Maybe that's stupid, maybe that's bold
But nobody ever said survival was supposed to be told

"Who's running this place?"

[Beat drops]

"I wanna meet 'em."

[Chorus]

I'm new in the block
But I'm learning the rules
Everybody here thinks
They're too damn cool

You got your tricks
You got your crew
I've got my fists
What else am I supposed to do?

They say beat the biggest
So I'll start at the top
You can tell me I'm crazy
But I won't stop

"Move."

[Beat slams]

"I just got here."

[Verse 2]

I see the patients walking, acting ten feet tall
Like they've never been knocked down in these halls
Some got weapons, some got friends
Some got stories about how their last fight ends

I don't care who you are
I don't care what you claim
I've got nothing to lose
'Cause I just learned the game

You want respect?
Better take it
You want fear?
Better make it

Me?

I'm just trying to figure out
Which door doesn't lead to trouble.

[Short pause]

"Probably that one."

[Beat resumes]

Wrong.

[Chorus]

I'm new in the block
But I'm learning the rules
Everybody here thinks
They're too damn cool

You got your tricks
You got your crew
I've got my fists
What else am I supposed to do?

They say beat the biggest
So I'll start at the top
You can tell me I'm crazy
But I won't stop

"Beat the biggest."

[Beat cuts]

"That's what they said."

[Verse 3]

Maybe I'll get stronger
Maybe I'll get smart
Maybe I'll learn every hallway
Every door, every part

Maybe I'll find a crew
Maybe I'll fight alone
Maybe someday this whole block
Will feel like home

But today I'm still new
Still learning the sound
Of boots in the hallway
When nobody's around

Still learning who runs
Still learning who lies
Still learning which patient
Has danger in their eyes

And if somebody tells me
"Don't mess with that guy..."

[Pause]

"I'm probably gonna ask why."

[Beat explodes]

[Final Chorus]

I'm new in the block
And I'm here to stay
Didn't come with a weapon
Didn't come to pray

If the biggest wants trouble
Then show me the way
I'll walk right up
And I'll make my play
