Forever Loyal

Lyrics

[Intro - sparse piano keys, echoing reverb, low whispered ad-libs]
(Yeah... forever loyal... shadows... yeah)

[Verse 1 - moody 808 bass rumble, slow trap hi-hats, gravelly pained vocals]
Streets raised me cold, no love in these veins
Loyal to the ghosts, they whisper my name
Bled for my dogs, took shots in the dark
Now they switched sides, left scars on my heart
Rain on the window, mirrors my tears
Years of the grind, now drowned in my fears
Pills on the table, numb to the pain
Forever loyal, but loyalty's chains

[Chorus - heavy sub-bass drop, chopped & screwed vocals, haunting auto-tune layers]
Forever loyal, even when they betray
Bleedin' in silence, watch the trust decay
Shadows surround me, no light in my soul
Loyal to the end, but I'm diggin' my hole
Forever... loyal... (echoed ad-libs: yeah, gone)
Heart full of knives, but I ride alone

[Verse 2 - distorted synth stabs, rattling chains percussion, aggressive half-time flow]
Homies turned snakes, fangs in my back
Stackin' these bodies, but peace I lack
Mama prayed hard, but the devil got calls
Lost in the trap, bouncin' off walls
Tattoos of the fallen, ink never fades
Promises broken, in these cold barricades
One last bullet, for the love that I gave
Forever loyal, straight to the grave

[Bridge - stripped to minimal piano and vinyl crackle, vulnerable raw rap delivery, building tension]
Why'd you leave me here? (echo)
In the dark, chasin' ghosts...
Loyalty's curse, heavy load...
(Ad-libs: breakin', yeah... fallin')

[Chorus - intensified 808s, sidechained kicks, multi-tracked desperate shouts]
Forever loyal, even when they betray
Bleedin' in silence, watch the trust decay
Shadows surround me, no light in my soul
Loyal to the end, but I'm diggin' my hole
Forever... loyal... (fading echoes: loyal... gone)

[Outro - slowing tempo, fading reverb trails, distant melancholic hums]
Forever... loyal... (whispers: yeah, shadows... end)
