⸻
[Hook – Chopped & Screwed, Sung]
(Vocals pitched down)
(Heavy reverb)
(Delay tails stretched)
(Choir pad sustained underneath)
Am I still… a—wake…
Or am I sleep—ing…
City mov—ing slow…
Like it’s breath—ing…
Wide eyes… but I’m drift—ing…
Heart talk—ing… mind miss—ing…
Tell me now… before I fade…
Am I dream—ing… or just wait—ing…
⸻
[Verse 1 – Alternative R&B, Screwed]
(Breathy vocals)
(Beat minimal)
(Choir pad low and warm)
Lights smear when I stare too long
Every win feel right but wrong
I been runnin’ from who I was
Now the mirror show a ghost I love
Glass reflections, late-night calls
I talk to the dark, let the silence talk
They say I made it, say I’m free
But freedom heavy when it’s just me
I stack days just to lose the night
Tryna feel real in the neon light
If this peace cost everything
Why it still hurt when the phone don’t ring?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Chopped Build]
(Background vocal looped)
(Choir pad swells wider)
If I stop…
It all catch—es me…
So I move…
Like it’s chas—ing me…
⸻
[Chorus – Screwed Emotional Drop]
(808 swells)
(Vocal chops on last words)
(Choir pad rises to full)
Am I still… a—wake…
Or am I dream—ing…
I been float—ing through…
All these feel—ings…
Wide eyes… but I’m sleep—ing…
Fast life… slow bleed—ing…
Tell me now… before I fade…
Am I dream—ing… or just wait—ing…
⸻
[Verse 2 – Memphis Rap Influence, Chopped]
(Low, gritty delivery)
(Vocals pitched down)
(Choir pad darker, ominous)
Late night… ride slow…
Windows down… mind gone…
Same block… new chain…
Still hear pain when the sirens on…
Mama prayers in my rearview
Old friends faded like tattoos
I outran where I came from
But the past still know my tattoos
Money loud… heart mute…
Crowds clap… soul bruised…
I smile big for the cameras
Then I whisper what I never tell you
If success mean I don’t feel
Why my chest feel cracked like steel?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Repeat, Deeper Screw]
(Vocal phrase chopped repeatedly)
(Choir pad tremolo)
If I stop… stop…
It all catch—es me…
So I move… move…
Like it’s chas—ing me…
⸻
[Chorus – Extended Chopped Section]
(Tempo slows further)
(Delay exaggerated)
(Choir pad fully open, heavenly)
Am I still… a—wake…
Or am I dream—ing…
Every step… feel fake…
Like the ground miss—ing…
Tell me now… slow…
Be—fore I fade…
Am I dream—ing…
Or just a—fraid…
⸻
[Bridge – Choir Breakdown]
(Beat nearly drops out)
(Choir pad front and center)
(Extreme pitch-down vocal)
If this a dream…
Don’t wake me…
If this real life…
Then save me…
I been fall—ing…
But I’m fly—ing…
Lost my ground…
Still try—ing…
⸻
[Final Hook – Chopped & Screwed Outro]
(All elements return softly)
(Vinyl wobble effect)
(Choir pad sustained, gentle fade)
Am I still… a—wake…
Or am I sleep—ing…
Heart beat slow…
Mind drift—ing…
If this night… never ends…
Let me stay… where I’m free…
Am I dream…
