[Intro: Crowd Chanting]
H.B.I.C! H.B.I.C! H.B.I.C! — Bow Down!
(whispered chant) H.B.I.C... bow down...
[crowd call-and-response]
Lead: H.B.I.C! Crowd: Bow down!
Lead: H.B.I.C! Crowd: Bow down!
[Production Cue]
BPM: 140–145. Staccato strings on off-beats, brass hits on downbeats, heavy 808s, choir pads under final chorus. Drop before final chant.
[Verse 1]
Step in the pit, steel in our stare, smoke splits the air — we own the glare (yeah)
Queens with a roar, glass shards in the night, gold teeth grin, ready to strike (uh)
Cold chrome cadence, knives of sound, we cut a lane where the brave back down
Hardened heartbeats hammer like drum rounds, thunder-footed, stomp the ground (bow)
Strings cut sharp — staccato, bite the beat, brass hits drop like lightning heat
Internal rhymes like coded incite: loaded, coded, corrode 'em in sight
Ad-libs: (yah) (run it) (bow)
[Pre-Chorus / Half-Chorus — Tension Build]
Whispered: rulers rise, predators prime (shh)
Quick shout: Lock the line — flip the sign — then we strike: H.B.I.C — Bow Down!
(crowd flips into full chant)
[Chorus: Crowd + Lead Vocal]
H.B.I.C! — Bow Down! (full shout)
H.B.I.C! — Bow Down! (call-and-response: Lead/Crowd)
H.B.I.C! — Bow Down! (ad-libs layered: yeah, ha)
H.B.I.C! — Bow Down! (we own the sound)
[Verse 2]
Locked and loaded, coded, corrodes 'em — ironclad, pressure corrodes 'em
Veins like lava, veins like oceans, tidal force, we set the motion
Storm-shelled sirens, cannoned cadence, armor gleam, eyes like sov'reign
We paint the skyline red with our name, every echo signs the offering
Strings climb cold, violins spit like razors, low 808s rumble like razors
Brass punches down, every downbeat grazes — brass and bass, palace of blazers
Ad-libs: (uh) (let's go) (bow down)
[Bridge — Production Breakdown]
[Sparse piano + bowed strings, whispered chant layer]
(whispered lead) H.B.I.C... H.B.I.C... (whispered crowd) bow... bow... bow...
[Soft vocal] We move like shadows with crowns on our backs
[Whispered layers build] H.B.I.C — hush — then crack the sky
(whispered to shout build) H.B.I.C — (grow) H.B.I.C — (grow louder) H.B.I.C
[Build / Pre-Drop]
Strings swell, snare taps sprint, breath held — then cut (staccato)
Brass on downbeat, choir creeps under, heartbeat doubles, silence — then: DROP
[DROP — Instrumental Break]
[Production Cue] Full band: heavy 808s, brass slams, staccato string runs, choir pad swelling. Short vocal chops: "H.B.I.C" chopped into rhythm. Crowd echo: "Bow Down!"
[Final Chorus — Full Stadium]
H.B.I.C! — Bow Down! (crowd full-shout, layered chants: lead / female ad-libs / deep chant)
H.B.I.C! — Bow Down! (call-and-response: Lead: We rise — Crowd: They bow)
H.B.I.C! — Bow Down! (choir pads under, brass punches the line)
H.B.I.C! — Bow Down! (heavy 808, strings soar, everything collide)
[Ad-libs between chorus lines]
(Yeah) (Ha) (Run it) (Rise) (Bow) (Bow Down!)
[Breakdown — Whispered + Sparse]
[Production Cue] Sparse piano, single cello, whispered crowd layers
