3:00AM IN THE CITY [7A]

[INTRO] Yeah... I been movin' different lately Funny how success can make a room feel empty

[VERSE 1] I got a penthouse view but I'm staring at the ceiling Everybody wants a piece but nobody asks about the feeling Used to call me back in seconds, now you read it and you leave it My momma said be careful what you pray for in the nighttime The group chat quiet now, everybody living different lives I kept every voicemail from the people who believed first

[PRE-CHORUS] And I know that I should let it go But 3AM got me thinking 'bout things I'll never show The penthouse feel like a hotel when you're here alone I built a empire baby but I forgot to build a home

[CHORUS] 3AM in the city and I'm wide awake again Countin' all my blessings but I'm missing all my friends Had to lose a few to learn who really had my back 3AM in the city and I can't find my way back Back to simpler times, back to who I was 3AM in the city, city never sleeps And neither do I 'cause I got promises to keep

[VERSE 2] Studio at midnight, broke but we was all in Now the loneliness of making it is something I don't advertise Got a few real ones round the table, that's a blessing I acknowledge That I'd trade some of the zeroes for the nights we had back then

[CHORUS] 3AM in the city and I'm wide awake again Countin' all my blessings but I'm missing all my friends Had to lose a few to learn who really had my back 3AM in the city and I can't find my way back Back to simpler times, back to who I was 3AM in the city, city never sleeps And neither do I 'cause I got promises to keep

[BRIDGE] Nobody told me that getting everything Could feel like losing something I've learned the difference... trust me

[FINAL CHORUS] 3AM in the city and I'm wide awake again Countin' all my blessings but I'm missing all my friends 3AM in the city and I can't find my way back Promises to keep... promises to keep...

[OUTRO] Yeah... 3AM... city lights... Still here... still standing... and I did...

INSTRUMENTS: Soft melancholic piano loop carries the song from start to finish. Slow trap hi-hats and deep 808 bass kicks enter on verse one. Subtle clean electric guitar sits quietly underneath everything. Dark atmospheric synth pads add depth and cinema throughout. Vocals shift between raw melodic rap in verses and fully sung emotional choruses. Bridge strips completely to piano only — one voice, zero effects, pure emotion. Final chorus brings 808s, synths, and layered harmonies together full and wide open. Outro fades to solo piano slowly dissolving into silence.
