Rare Air
Intro (brooding piano, vinyl crackle, distant vocal sample)
Yeah…
Some people show up when it’s loud
Some people stay when it’s quiet
Verse 1 (rap – restrained, deliberate)
I was heavy with the silence, light on who to trust
Crowds when it’s shining, ghosts when it’s rough
Smiles got agendas, love came with fees
Learned real quick who was really with me
He never asked for the spotlight
Never counted what he gave
Wasn’t loud with the loyalty
But he stood firm in the rain
When my name felt fragile
And my faith felt thin
He didn’t need the details
Just said, “I’m in.”
Hook (half-sung / rap, dark melodic)
That’s rare air
When somebody sees you bleed and stays there
No cameras, no clout in the frame
Just truth in their eyes when they say your name
Yeah, that’s rare air
Hard to find, but it’s everywhere
When the lights go low and the mask is gone
That’s a real one standing strong
Verse 2 (rap – deeper, confessional)
He knew my past, didn’t weaponize it
Never brought it up when the room got silent
Didn’t flinch when the rumors flew
Didn’t ask what was in it for him—just what’s true
We talked at two when the world was asleep
No big advice, just listenin’ deep
He let me fall without pushin’ back
Then handed me hope like, “You’ll get your legs.”
Ain’t say much, but his presence loud
When the circle shrank, he was still around
That’s the kind of wealth they don’t teach in school
That’s the kind of gift you don’t outgrow
Hook (repeat, deeper 808 swell)
That’s rare air
When somebody sees you bleed and stays there
No cameras, no clout in the frame
Just truth in their eyes when they say your name
Yeah, that’s rare air
Hard to find, but it’s everywhere
When the lights go low and the mask is gone
That’s a real one standing strong
Bridge (spoken word + vocal sample)
(Vocal sample: “I got you… even here.”)
If I never say it out loud
Let this beat speak for me
Some bonds don’t need witnesses
They just need honesty
Verse 3 (rap – resolved, reverent)
I’ve learned love don’t always shout
Sometimes it whispers, “I’m here—no doubt.”
No contracts signed, no debts to pay
Just mutual respect that don’t fade away
If I ever make it all the way up
If my name gets heavy with praise and stuff
I won’t forget who walked with me
When the road was dark and the talk was cheap
So here’s my word, no theatrics
If you ever need me, it’s automatic
Same way you showed up unannounced
I’ll be there before the call times out
Final Hook / Outro (stripped piano + echo)
That’s rare air
When somebody loves you honest and fair
When the world turns cold and the truth feels scarce
That’s a blessing…
Yeah, that’s rare air
