Abbreviated Pace
Jazz rap–inspired lo-fi hip hop with a warm, muted, analog feel. Upright bass, brushed drums, swung hi-hats, soft boom-bap groove, dusty vinyl crackle, and mellow Rhodes or piano jazz chords. Relaxed head-nod tempo. Female vocals on the chorus—smooth, soulful, jazzy phrasing, intimate and laid-back. Male rap verses—thoughtful jazz-rap flow, smooth cadence, poetic and introspective. Late-night café vibe, timeless, understated, soulful, no trap energy.

Lyrics
Lately
We’ve been moving
at an abbreviated pace
I’m done with all these acronyms
Babe, IDK
I mean, usually
I don’t let my
Feelings eat away
but they’ve been feeding on the daily
and they got me out of place
Yeah
Here's the T.L.D.R.
you told lies and
that drove my rage
got me torn up
you perforate (yeah)
how ‘bout a toast
to the lives we could have made
now we’re just ghosts
haunted by the bars of this digital cage (yeah)
Half-lives, living with
abbreviated energy
I’m thinking about
all of the letters you left with me
acronyms of a tainted legacy
RIP, you’re dead to me
Lately
We’ve been moving
at an abbreviated pace
I’m done with all these acronyms
Babe, IDK
I mean, usually
I don’t let my
Feelings eat away
but they’ve been feeding on the daily
and they got me out of place
