Time Made Me Rap

[Verse 1]
Cold cot, thin sheet
Clock loud, couldn’t sleep
Four walls, same scene
You out there, living dreams
Phone call, short breath
You laughing, I felt death
Tried to smile, play it light
Hung up, cried all night
[Chorus]
Hardest thing in life was doing that time
Knowing you were out there, probably feeling fine
I was stuck in place while you ran your laps
Lost my girl to the free world
but that cell made me rap
Yeah, that cell made me rap (uh)
That cell made me rap
Lost my heart to the free world
but that cell gave it back
[Verse 2]
Came home, bus stop
New shoes, same block
You drove past, didn’t look
Whole love, closed book
You say you’re mad, I get it
You say I left, I live it
I lost you, gained these lines
Turned my pain into rhymes
[Chorus]
Hardest thing in life was doing that time
Knowing you were out there, probably feeling fine
I was stuck in place while you ran your laps
Lost my girl to the free world
but that cell made me rap
Yeah, that cell made me rap (oh)
That cell made me rap
Lost my heart to the free world
but that cell gave it back

rap, Moody trap ballad with male vocals, spacious piano over deep, swinging drums and a heavy 808 bed. First verse almost whispered, close-mic and confessional; hook widens with layered harmonies and a subtle pitched-down double. Second verse adds atmospheric pads, distant vocal chops, and a slightly busier hi-hat pattern. End with a stripped-down reprise of the hook over just piano and bass, letting the vocal sit raw and upfront., world
