Hallways of Hogwarts

[Verse 1]
Scar on my head like a barcode
Marked since birth like a dark code
Cupboard where the coats and the scars go
Now I’m on a platform, walking through a brick road
Hand on the cart, heart in my rib cage
Ticket in my palm, stepping through a new page
Doors slide back, crimson and gold trim
Said I didn’t fit in
Guess they were right, I got magic in my veins
Whole world split, two tracks in my brain
One for the kid who was never really chosen
One for the name that got the whole sky open (hey)
[Chorus]
I’m running through the hallways of Hogwarts
Sneakers on stone, hear the echo when I charge
Thought I was small, now I’m shattering the dark
Yeah, they tried to curse my name, I turned it to a mark
Hallways of Hogwarts
Owls in the rafters, secrets in the walls
Shadow on my back but I still stand tall
I was born in the storm, now I’m writing my own law
[Verse 2]
Round glasses, see past all the fake friends
Real ones stay when the smoke bends
Ginger at my shoulder, girl with the wild brain
Sitting in the common room, plotting on a wild change
Broom in the shed, I was built for the sky
First time up, felt the wind ask why
Why you ever feel less than your power, kid?
You survived what the darkness did
Mirror in the attic, saw my family behind me
Tears in my eyes, they still somehow guide me
Every spell that I shout’s like a prayer in a fight
I ain’t here to be polite, I’m here to do right (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m running through the hallways of Hogwarts
Sneakers on stone, hear the echo when I charge
Thought I was small, now I’m shattering the dark
Yeah, they tried to curse my name, I turned it to a mark
Hallways of Hogwarts
Owls in the rafters, secrets in the walls
Shadow on my back but I still stand tall
I was born in the storm, now I’m writing my own law
[Bridge]
Lightning on my skin, thunder in my chest (woah)
Every time they doubt, I just treat it like a test
Orphan in the cupboard, legend in the end
You can lock up a body, you can’t cage what I am
[Chorus]
I’m running through the hallways of Hogwarts
Sneakers on stone, hear the echo when I charge
Thought I was small, now I’m shattering the dark
Yeah, they tried to curse my name, I turned it to a mark
Hallways of Hogwarts
Owls in the rafters, secrets in the walls
Shadow on my back but I still stand tall
From the boy in the dark to the king of the hall

rap, Gritty East Coast hip hop bounce with swung drums, deep, rubbery bass, and dusty string stabs; verses in tight, nimble male vocals up close and confident. Hook opens wider with doubled lead and chanty gang backs, subtle choir patch on the downbeat. Sparse piano hits in the bridge, last chorus pushes the kick and ad-libs for a triumphant closer., hip hop
