[Intro – spoken / distant female voice] (soft reverb) Who’s that…? I don’t know but everybody lookin’ DJ just nodded at him… Wait… that’s Big Z [Ambient build – pads + heartbeat kick] [Verse 1-BigZ- Male Voice Rap] Used to stand outside, line wrapped round the block Cold nights, same shoes, watchin’ from the lot Same dudes laugh, same girls walked by Now them same eyes follow when I arrive Didn’t change me — just the view got clear I ain’t get loud, the room got ears Bassline hit and the heads all turn I ain’t say a word… still felt the burn No chains on yet, still heavy in the air Bartender froze mid-pour and stared I don’t chase hype — hype chase me You can feel that shift when I cross VIP [Pre-Hook – rising synth] Lights go low Phone lights glow DJ pause like he already know [Hook – crowd chant] They know the name They don’t gotta ask Whole room change when I walk past No introduction — no explain Before the first song They know the name They know the name Feel that bass I ain’t say shit — still feel my presence in the place From outside lines to champagne rain I ain’t even started… They know the name [Verse 2 – BigZ- Male Voice Rap-drums enter heavier] No post, no flex, no loud talk Still get a path when I cross that walk Girls whisper “that him?” — yeah probably Security nod like he clocked me I remember nights couldn’t get inside Now they hold the rope when they see me arrive Funny how time fix everything fast Future look close when the doubt in the past Not famous — just undeniable Energy shift is reliable I don’t announce — I appear That silence louder than cheers [Bridge – music strips down] No chain needed No crown worn Some names shouted… Some names felt before they’re born [Final Hook – BigZ- Male Voice Rap-full drums + 808s] They know the name They don’t gotta ask Whole room change when I walk past No introduction — no explain Before the first song They know the name They know the name Hear that ring DJ drop and the whole place sing From no one there to center stage Volume One… Remember the name [Outro – distant voice + bass fading] Big Z just got here… Night just started.
