GOD IS HERE
max 4 min., rap, chicago rap, high pitch vocal sample It opens with a very sweet plucked arpeggiated acoustic guitar, a lo-fi vinyl crackle, an analog hum, The verses are cinematic: vulnerable, whispered male vocals, a reverse reverb effect before the breaks in the choruses, airy EDM R&B/Cloud Rap pads, the drums follow the flow of the lyrics with unexpected variations and stops at the end of the verses, The beat is a flow between folk/acoustic indie, combined with subtle glitch-hop percussion, vaportrap synths and experimental double bass with a long, creeping reverb, The choruses explode with raw, soulful singing, gospel improvisations, heavy, vibrant melismas and a smooth, sweet tone, Glitchy grime, trap hi-hats and garage bass permeate at the end of the verses, offering an emotional and dynamic blend of soul-pop-acoustic-folk-electronic

"God is"
"God is"
"God is here"
"God is near"
"God is"
"God is here"
"God is near"
[Verse]
Ayy, my grandpa told me: "Boy, your name ain't made to bend."
(God is)
But names get heavy on your back when every friend you had got spent
(God is here)
Man, I seen saints shake hands with devils, watched my heroes lose their spine
And all these mirrors in my house ain't put my own face back in line
What’s a halo but a bullseye? What’s a leader ‘cept the next to fall?
(God is)
What’s a past life but a debt that you ain’t tall enough to stall?
(God is here)
Every choice I made a ripple—am I floatin’ or just bloated?
(God is near)
If I’m standin’ at the gates, is Heaven real or just a moment?
God don’t blink—He just tally marks the time I waste
(God is)
All this money in my pocket, still ain't bought my rightful place
(God is here)
Maybe legacy’s a long con, maybe fame’s a fever dream
(God is near)
Maybe hell ain't got no entrance—just a grip that won’t recede
[New Hook – High Pitched Vocal Sample]
"God is"
"God is"
"God is here"
"God is near"
[New Hook – High Pitched Vocal Sample]
"God is"
"God is"
"God is here"
"God is near"
[Verse 2]
Ayy, watch what you pray for, good things come with knives attached
(God is)
What’s a throne to a man with splinters? Every seat been built to scratch
(God is here)
What’s a name to a man that ain’t closed his eyes in seven nights?
(God is near)
What’s a verse to a man who bled ‘til the pen went dry?
Clock hands tick with a wicked grin—
(God is)
Every time I breathe, I feel the walls creep in
(God is here)
Tryna make amends with the self I skinned,
(God is near)
But I cut that loose when the gold got thin
Can’t unsay no curse I spoke
(God is)
Can’t outrun no steps I broke
Can’t outgrow my yesterdays
They don’t tell you when you rise, it’s at the cost of what you love
They don’t tell you once you make it, that you never make enough
They don’t tell you that these plaques start freezin’ in your hands
(God is)
That you only see the sky when you ain’t boxed in where you stand
[Hook - Distorted]
"God is"
"God is"
"God is here"
"God is near"
