BOHRAP v2

Lyrics

[[0:00 – 0:22] INTRO (8 BARS)] [Low-pass intro, distant piano loop, filtered vocals, cinematic mood.] [Lyrics:] Is this the real life, or just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see I’m just a poor boy—ain’t nobody feelin’ me [Delivery: whispered, reflective, like a confession.] ⸻ [[0:23 – 1:00] VERSE 1 (16 BARS)] [Beat drops with full drums and sub-bass. Slow, heavy pocket flow.] Easy come, easy go, little high, little low Any way the wind blow, I still ride solo Pressure in my chest, weight on my breath Mama told me “stay calm,” but I walked with death Pulled the trigger once, now the scene gone cold Didn’t mean it, but the streets don’t fold Mama, life just begun, I was young and dumb Now I’m lookin’ at the sky, thinkin’ what I become [Delivery: slow, heavy flow — 50 Cent-style pacing.] [Ad-libs: “yeah,” “uh,” “gone,” “mama.”] ⸻ [[1:01 – 1:36] HOOK 1 (8 BARS)] [Mellow choir pad underneath, melodic rap singing.] Carry on, carry on — don’t cry for me If I don’t make it back, just pray for me Any way the wind blows, I still move free Nothin’ really matters — it’s just destiny [Delivery: melodic, emotional — slightly sung.] ⸻ [[1:37 – 2:15] VERSE 2 (16 BARS)] Beat gets darker; add string layer + vocal doubling on final line. Too late, my time has come, feel the shiver in my spine Body achin’ every hour, but I’m still on the grind Say goodbye, I been facin’ my truth When the reaper come knockin’, I don’t run from the proof I don’t wanna die, but this life chose me Wish I never been born, yeah low-key Still I rise, scars made me hard Heart cold, but the pain became my art Delivery: deeper tone, slower pacing, heavy reverb tail. ⸻ [2:16 – 2:48] HOOK 2 (8 BARS) Repeat chorus with added intensity. Add choir harmonies behind “carry on.” ⸻ [2:49 – 3:35] BRIDGE (16 BARS) Beat switches to half-time; haunting choir and 808s swell. See a silhouette of a man in the mirror Voices in my head say the end is nearer Thunder in my chest, storm in my soul Tryin’ to stay calm, tryin’ to gain control Delivery: faster, urgent flow — double-time syllables. ⸻ [3:36 – 4:05] OPERATIC RAP SECTION (8 BARS) Choir chops, snare rolls, distorted filter — like a rap opera. They say let him go — no, they won’t set me free Demons on my shoulder tryna bargain with me Pullin’ on my soul, playin’ games I can’t see Got a devil put aside, yeah, he waitin’ for me Delivery: intense, shouted tone — echo repeats on “me.” ⸻ [4:06 – 4:45] VERSE 3 (16 BARS) Final verse – full drums, layered choir, big cinematic push. So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? Think you can love me, then leave me to die? Been betrayed, but I’m breakin’ the chain No mercy left, just fire in my vein I just gotta get out, I just gotta get right Grit my teeth, move through the night World cold, but my soul won’t freeze From the block to the stars, I do as I please Delivery: triumphant energy, mix of rap and sing-rap on the last 4 bars. ⸻ [4:46 – 5:30] OUTRO (12 BARS) Beat fades out with strings + echoing piano. Nothing really matters, that’s how it be Nothing really matters, it’s all on me Fade away, fade away, set me free Fade away, fade away — just let me be Delivery: soft, fading voice — spoken, reflective. Ending cue: Reverb tail on “me…” fading into silence. ⸻ 🎧 Mix & Mastering Instructions • Lead vocal: centered, light reverb (medium room), subtle delay on verse ends. • Hook vocals: layered, +3 dB presence boost, stereo widened. • Bass: warm saturation, sub-heavy. • Snare: clean snap, +2 dB @ 3kHz. • Choir pad: low-mids around 400Hz, subtle sidechain compression under kick. • Final limiter: -0.8 LUFS ceiling, -10 LUFS integrated loudness.
