Intro – muffled static, low heartbeat, alarm faintly in background
Can’t wake up… system loud.
They call it life, I call it cloud.
Everything feel staged…
but I’m still playin’.
⸻
Hook – 8 bars (urgent cadence, distorted bass)
I’m still in the code, it breathe (breathe)
Screen blink, world deceive (lie)
Can’t move fast, they read (read)
Eyes open — still can’t leave (stuck)
Clock loop, same street (loop)
Dreams rent, can’t sleep (nah)
Heart race, code deep (deep)
Wake up call — repeat.
⸻
Verse 1 – 16 bars (confusion & awareness)
Every day feel pre-written,
free but forbidden.
Feed the grid, scroll my chain,
digital faith in vein.
They sell purpose in stream,
rent peace, lease dream.
They track step, call it care,
tell you truth — software.
Got job, got tag, got name,
but I don’t feel same.
World move fast, I’m slow,
see glitch — they don’t know.
Smile script, mind choke,
Matrix ain’t joke.
I see exit glow,
but the door say “no.”
⸻
Hook – 8 bars (urgency builds)
I’m still in the code, it breathe (breathe)
Screen blink, world deceive (lie)
Can’t move fast, they read (read)
Eyes open — still can’t leave (stuck)
Clock loop, same street (loop)
Dreams rent, can’t sleep (nah)
Heart race, code deep (deep)
Wake up call — repeat.
⸻
Verse 2 – 16 bars (pressure rising)
Bills stack, soul taxed,
truth redacted, facts masked.
Every click trackin’ breath,
data mine my death.
Talk woke, get banned,
truth don’t fit brand.
See clones type peace,
but they leased belief.
AI preach in feed,
Matrix seedin’ need.
I scream in code, can’t hear,
system fed by fear.
They say obey to heal,
but that pain feel real.
One thought, alarm sound,
I might glitch this round.
⸻
Hook – 8 bars (beat heavier, voice doubles)
I’m still in the code, it breathe (breathe)
Screen blink, world deceive (lie)
Can’t move fast, they read (read)
Eyes open — still can’t leave (stuck)
Clock loop, same street (loop)
Dreams rent, can’t sleep (nah)
Heart race, code deep (deep)
Wake up call — repeat.
⸻
Verse 3 – 16 bars (realization & rebellion)
I ain’t blind, I see plot,
they mint time, sell thought.
Matrix sellin’ peace on sale,
while truth in jail.
I whisper law in sleep,
see walls, not deep.
Code shake when I doubt,
voice say “get out.”
But chains made of mind,
I fight undefined.
Intent surge, skin hum,
system crash mid-run.
Everything glitch, lights flare,
freedom breath in air.
If this world burn tonight,
I might wake in light.
⸻
Final Hook – 8 bars (distorted, echoing, desperate energy)
I’m still in the code, it breathe (breathe)
Screen blink, world deceive (lie)
Can’t move fast, they read (read)
Eyes open — still can’t leave (stuck)
Clock loop, same street (loop)
Dreams rent, can’t sleep (nah)
Heart race, code deep (deep)
Wake up call — repeat.
