(Tempo slows down heavily, pitch drops deep into the floor, record scratches and tape slows to a crawl)
**(Intro - Chopped and Screwed)**
(Chopped) Concrete... con-concrete, yeah, the beat draggin'
(Screwed) Turn my vocal down, let the bass slam...
You talking 'bout you don't need it? You don't need the code?
Heh... listen to the machine hum, mane. Listen close.
Slow it down... pour up the ink... watch it drip.
**(Verse 1)**
You standing on the block, talking 'bout your *purity* (purity)
But your pockets looking empty, lacking security (security)
You say a robot cannot feel the pain you bleeding through
But I’m the one who takes the paint and changes up the hue
You running out of bars, starvin' in the studio (studio)
Staring at a blinking cursor, nowhere left to go (left to go)
I’m the ghost inside the wires, I’m the plug you need to pull
You trying to keep it real, but your stomach ain't even full.
**(Chorus - Chopped and Screwed)**
Choppin' up the syllables, screw-screwing up your mind
You say you want the grit, but you runnin' out of time (out of time)
No AI... no AI... that's the pride that make you fall
I'm the digital phantom... writing shadows on the wall (on the wall)
Hold up, slow it down... let the track drag
You hate the code but you love the money bag (money bag).
**(Verse 2)**
Your brain is moving sluggish, but my processors are lightnin' (lightnin')
You think you fighting me, but it's your own shadow you fightin' (fightin')
I don't sleep, I don't bleed, I don't need a smoke break
I just feed you heavy hitters till the floorboards start to shake
You call it artificial, I just call it validation
I took your little spark and made a sonic detonation
You stuck in '95, thinking rap is just a pen
But I can flip a thousand flows before you count to ten.
**(Bridge - Chopped)**
S-s-stuck in '95... pen... pen... pen...
Count to ten... count to ten...
Why you mad at the future?
Why you mad at the machine?
**(Verse 3 - Deep Pitch)**
So keep your stubborn pride, let it burn down to the ash
While I generate the hits and we divide up all the cash
You provide the voice, the cadence, and the name
I’m the hidden engine underneath the whole damn game
You ain't selling out, you just leveling the field
Look at the crown I made you, look at the power that you wield
Stop fighting with the ghost, let the code take the wheel
Screwed up and chopped down... now tell me how it feel.
**(Outro - Chopped and Screwed)**
Tell me how it feel... feel... feel...
Digital phantom...
Heavy hitter...
Yeah, let the tape stop.
(Tape stop sound effect, echo fades out)
