Marked

Lyrics

[Intro – low 808 slide, muted 808 bass, breathy female vocal, vinyl crackle]

[Verse 1 – slow trap hats, warm Rhodes keys, husky female lead, soft ad-libs]
Silk on my shoulders like it’s bulletproof,
Meetings and mirrors, I stayed bulletproof.
Eyes on my body but they never got through—
I smiled, I nodded, kept the line true.
Hands stayed polite, posture stayed ice,
Dreams in the dark but I paid every price.
Then Max showed up like the line wasn’t real,
Waited on the far side, hand on the steel.

[Pre-Chorus – sidechained bass, stacked harmonies, tension build]
One step, two steps, heartbeat in my throat,
No sign, no rule, just the heat in his coat.
He didn’t smile, didn’t need to speak twice—
Said “Remember this second before you lose the fight.”

[Chorus – dirty-south slow jam, thick bass, layered female vocals, explicit]
I crossed it, I crossed it, now my knees don’t work the same,
He claimed me so deep I forgot my own name.
Rough hands, slow tongue, every inch he rearranged,
Last night I walked in untouched—now I answer when he calls my name.
Say it louder, say it dirty, let the neighbors complain,
I’m dripping on his sheets like I finally learned my name.

[Verse 2 – half-time drums, darker Rhodes, whispered ad-libs]
Silk on the floor, wrists pinned where I stand,
Breath on my neck like he owns all my plans.
He don’t ask, he just takes what I give,
And I give it all night, I don’t even wanna live
Without that pressure, that command in his grip,
Marking me quiet so the whole room can trip.
Every meeting I sit with his taste on my lips,
Silk still my armor but the armor got ripped.

[Chorus – dirty-south slow jam, thick bass, layered female vocals, explicit]
I crossed it, I crossed it, now my knees don’t work the same,
He claimed me so deep I forgot my own name.
Rough hands, slow tongue, every inch he rearranged,
Last night I walked in untouched—now I answer when he calls my name.
Say it louder, say it dirty, let the neighbors complain,
I’m dripping on his sheets like I finally learned my name.

[Bridge – stripped, finger snaps and low Rhodes, vulnerable]
No rules on the wall, just the heat in his stare,
He waited, he knew I’d eventually dare.
Last moment I was whole, last moment I was mine—
Now I’m his when he wants and I’m begging every time.

[Outro – fading 808s, reverb-drenched vocal, soft vinyl crackle]
Remember that second… before I lost control…
Now I walk in the room already marked by his soul…
