Read the lyric sheet
Intro
808s breathe like a city at dusk, Muted piano drips in slow neon, vinyl hiss in the corners, Heartbeat tempo, lights flicker, engines hum, ambition wakes up.
Verse 1
I turned doubt into decimals, pain into principals, Mama said “balance your spirit,” I doubled my intervals, Friends turned to fractions, I learned how to multiply, Pressure made diamonds, I’m cutting the rough with a lullaby. Sidewalk philosophers talk in expired advice, I read the margins of hunger, learned the fine print of price, From bus stops to boardrooms, the same echoing test, Who you are when it’s quiet decide who you flex. I been patient as chess, moving kings with a pawn, Every loss was a lens, now the picture is strong, I don’t chase what is trending, I bend it to fit, Made a wave out of silence, taught the noise how to sit.
Chorus
Lights go up, when I walk in the room (yeah), Heart so cold but my vision is warm (warm), They said wait your turn, I said watch me move, I don’t knock on the door, I become the door. Hands in the sky, let it rain on the floor, From the floor to the throne, hear the crowd want more, I don’t knock on the door, I become the door.
Verse 2
Beat switch, now it’s raw, just drums and a stare, Truth hits harder when it’s barely there, I seen idols get hollow chasing viral applause, Built my faith out of bricks, not the hype of a post. Credit cards full of dreams, all declined by belief, I paid cash with my scars, now the receipt say “free,” Talk slick in the comments, never walk what they type, I was outside with the hours, had to bargain with night. Turned my shadow to fuel, let it follow my stride, Every mirror I faced was a fork in the ride, If the road get lonely, I talk to the stars, They said “shine don’t ask permission,” so I took it too far.
Bridge
Melody slips in, autotune like a sigh, Choir hums low, feel the lift in the spine, Half-time pause, then the world inhale deep, Count it down from the pain to the promise I keep.
Chorus
Lights go up, when I walk in the room (yeah), Heart so cold but my vision is warm (warm), They said wait your turn, I said watch me move, I don’t knock on the door, I become the door. Hands in the sky, let it rain on the floor, From the floor to the throne, hear the crowd want more, I don’t knock on the door, I become the door.
Outro
Piano fades, city exhales slow, If you hear this at night, let it tell you: go, Every wall is a rumor, every lock is a dare, When you ready to rise, you already there.
Inside the recording
808s breathe like a city at dusk, Muted piano drips in slow neon, vinyl hiss in the corners,
Lights go up, when I walk in the room (yeah), Heart so cold but my vision is warm (warm),
Piano fades, city exhales slow, If you hear this at night, let it tell you: go,
