[Intro]
(Ad-libs: yeah, skrt, flame)
808 pulse, midnight chrome — we ride
Trap flame, I'm the spark — light the block, light the dark
(vocal chop: "flame, flame")
[Verse 1]
Came up on 14th and Vine, cold night, paper thin sign
Beat of the city like a drum inside my spine
Melo on the corner whisperin' moves at 2 AM
I learned patience from the pavement — earned my gold from them
Scar on my right knuckle from June '18, winter fight
Lost a chain, found a lesson, kept my name in sight
Nights full of rain, nights full of stays in the backseat
Hustle in my bloodstream, triplet tongue, never slack, G
(Ad-libs: yeah, uh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart syncs to the 808 — boom, brace the bass
Shadow steps, double back — claimin' space
I turn the cold to coals, heat to hope, watch the spark
I move like midnight lightning, leave a mark
[Chorus]
Trap flame, I'm the spark — light the block, light the dark
(Ad-libs: light the block) [vocal double, pitched up chop]
Trap flame, burnin' loud, city pulse in my heart
[PAUSE] — feel the drop... (skrrt)
Trap flame, set the night, make the skyline sing
This is my tag, my torch, my signature ring
Trap flame, I'm the spark — light the block, light the dark
(Ad-libs: flame, flame)
[Verse 2]
Wednesday the market shut down, paper thin like my patience
Counted every lesson — mama's faith, my foundation
Dealer name was Melo, taught me code, taught me calm
But I flipped the script, turned the calm into a bomb
Concrete garden, roses grew between the cracks
Gave me grit, gave me hunger, paid my dues, took my slacks
A hundred nights of no sleep, one day of do-or-die
Now my echoes on the corner make the timid multiply
(Ad-libs: let's go, uh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart syncs to the 808 — boom, brace the bass
Shadow steps, double back — claimin' space
I turn the cold to coals, heat to hope, watch the spark
I move like midnight lightning, leave a mark
[Chorus]
Trap flame, I'm the spark — light the block, light the dark
(Ad-libs: light the block) [vocal double, pitched up chop]
Trap flame, burnin' loud, city pulse in my heart
[PAUSE] — feel the drop... (skrrt)
Trap flame, set the night, make the skyline sing
This is my tag, my torch, my signature ring
Trap flame, I'm the spark — light the block, light the dark
(Ad-libs: flame, flame)
[Bridge] (Minimal percussion, melodic topline — vulnerable, whispered)
(Whispered) Night whispered my name the night I almost broke
Phones off, lights low, counted lies I never spoke
I gave my fears a funeral, tied the rope to hope
Now I hum my truth like a hymn on the rooftop
(Ad-libs soft: ahhh)
[Build] (Percussion returns, layered harmonies, vocal doubles)
From the corner to the skyline, stakes got realer
From the scar to the soundtrack, I'm the dealer of my future
Triplet cadence, steady hands, steady mind
Trap flame on rewind — watch me redefine
[Final Chorus] (Full drums, brass stab, vocal doubles, pitched chops, pause before last line)
Trap flame, I'm the spark — light the block, light the dark
(Ad-libs: light the block, light the dark) [vocal ch
