I AM Echo
Hip hop with a steady head-nod bounce and dusty boom-bap drums; verse rides sparse piano stabs and a looping bass pulse, pre-chorus strips to kick, clap, and filtered choir pad, chorus hits with stacked gang vocals on the anchor phrase. Vocal is close-mic, conversational, with double-tracked hook lines and occasional delay throws on key words. Ear candy includes reversed swells into the chorus, vinyl crackle between verses, and a sub drop on the final hook. Mix is warm, punchy, and intimate with a bold low end., hip hop

Lyrics
My ego tried to throw a stone
At the throne that made the bone
Talkin’ big like it owns the sky
But it’s small when the real One speaks
I was playin’ with a borrowed flame
Wearin’ pride like it knew my name
Then I heard that holy still
You can’t bruise what fills the will
You call it fear, I call it pain
A mirror of the same old chain
What we think can dress itself
Like a king on a kitchen shelf
But time don’t cage the Maker’s mind
He’s not trapped in our little lines
He is, and that is more than breath
Before the start, beyond the death
What I think, He knows
What I speak, He shows
What I fear, He holds
In the fire, still He rolls
I AM
I AM
What we think, it comes to pass
I AM
I AM
Eternity is in His grasp
You can’t harm God
You can’t harm God
He was before your shadow fell
I AM
I AM
What we think, He knows too well
My mind made idols out of doubt
Then watched them crack and fall apart
I was tryin’ to write a wound
On a name that outlives dark
Every thought is a little seed
Every lie wants a place to breed
But the field belongs to the King
And He turns dust to living things
You thought the wound could touch the source
Like a spark could stop the sun
But the Holy sits outside the fear
And the battle’s already won
So I lay down that borrowed crown
Let the noise in my chest get found
If my heart makes a crooked scene
He still stays what He has been
What I think, He knows
What I speak, He shows
What I fear, He holds
In the fire, still He rolls
I AM
I AM
What we think, it comes to pass
I AM
I AM
Eternity is in His grasp
You can’t harm God
You can’t harm God
He was before your shadow fell
I AM
I AM
What we think, He knows too well
If I rage, He remains
If I doubt, He reigns
If I break, He stays
Same forever, always
No blade for the Most High
No lie can rewrite
What was, what is, what’s coming through
I fall in line when I look at You
I AM
I AM
What we think, it comes to pass
I AM
I AM
Eternity is in His grasp
You can’t harm God
You can’t harm God
He was before your shadow fell
I AM
I AM
What we think, He knows too well
