[INTRO – LATIN GUITAR LOOP, LIGHT DRUM ROLL, THEN DROP INTO DMINOR SYNTH CHORDS] [SPOKEN WORD – FILTERED VOICE, LOW AND HAUNTING] We don’t cry no more. We don’t sit in the silence. We just scroll. And scroll. And scroll. God said blessed are those who mourn… So why you so afraid to feel? [VERSE 1 – 85 BPM, SLOW GRIND, DEEP VOCAL DELIVERY] We see a headline, sip our drink, A child dies, and we barely blink. Body in the street, scroll past the scene, Got blood in our feed but we keep it clean. Pain ain’t trending, truth ain’t viral, Numb in the name of survival. Crisis every hour, but we got no tears, Just memes and filters to hide our fears. [SWITCH UP – DRUM BREAK INTO DOUBLE TIME, 100 BPM] [VERSE 2 – FAST CADENCE, TRIPLET FLOW] Echo chambers, dopamine hits, Tragedy’s just another Netflix script. We post a black box, hashtag the dead, But forget ‘em by noon, no prayer, no bread. Where’s the wailers, sackcloth, ashes? We replaced grief with camera flashes. Mourn with those who mourn? Nah, fam, we mute it. Gotta keep the vibe clean, pain polluted. [CHORUS – 85 BPM – MELODIC SING-RAP, CALL-AND-RESPONSE STYLE] [LATIN PERCUSSION RISES UNDERNEATH] Lead: We forgot how to mourn, forgot how to cry Response (sung): Pain ain’t gone, it’s just buried inside Lead: We forgot how to feel, forgot how to break Response: Click away the sorrow, scroll past the ache All: But sorrow is sacred, tears still speak God meets the broken, not the sleek Blessed are the torn, the heavy, the worn We ain’t healing ‘cause we won’t mourn [VERSE 3 – 90 BPM, SWAGGERING LATIN-AFRICAN GROOVE] [Djembe groove with syncopated bass hits] I see prophets in the street, voices drowned in noise, Mothers with no sons, kids with no toys. We too busy chasin’ peace we ain’t earned, Afraid of the fire where lessons are burned. Lament is a weapon, grief is a gate, But we dance past the tombstones like it ain’t fate. Jesus wept. Yeah, the Son of God cried. So why you still holdin’ all that pain inside? [BRIDGE – STRIPPED BACK TO GUITAR AND VOCAL, SPOKEN RAPPED WORD] [LOW TEMPO, ALMOST WHISPERED] Feel it. Let it ache. Let it break you. That’s not weakness — that’s the road to wake you. ‘Cause joy don’t come ‘til the mourning’s done, And healing won’t start ‘til you stop the run. [CHORUS REPEAT – FULL POWER WITH GROUP VOCALS, HEAVY DRUMS AND CHOIR PADS] Lead: We forgot how to mourn, forgot how to cry Response: Pain ain’t gone, it’s just buried inside Lead: We forgot how to feel, forgot how to break Response: Click away the sorrow, scroll past the ache All: But sorrow is sacred, tears still speak God meets the broken, not the sleek Blessed are the torn, the heavy, the worn We ain’t healing ‘cause we won’t mourn [OUTRO – FADE OUT WITH LATIN RHYTHMS AND REPEATED VOCAL SAMPLE] Sample (looped): "Blessed are those who mourn... they shall be comforted."
