NASTY (Keep It Real)
dark, hypnotic club vibes blending footwork, phonk, west coast rap, trap, and lo-fi hip hop, Deep 808 sub-bass with glide, distortion, heavy sidechain, Snappy claps, fast hi-hats, subtle swing, Distorted phonk lead with tape saturation, Guitar: Verse 1: “Dark Glide” melodic solo; Verse 2→Chorus: “Soul in Distortion” raw lead; Outro: “Haunted Riff” atmospheric, reverb-heavy, Main vocal: deep, dark male voice, confident spoken-rap, Secondary vocal: soft female for hooks/call-response, Whispered ad-libs (“don’t be the nasty one / keep it real, stay true”) with delay/formant shift, Build tension with risers, reverse crashes, vinyl stops, Mood: dark, reflective, confident, street-wise

Lyrics
Life’s a choice, every step that you take,
Build a legacy strong, or let it all break.
Real or fake, yeah the line stays thin,
Talk is cheap, but respect comes from within.
Move with purpose, stay sharp, stay wise,
Eyes on the path, no need for disguise.
In a world full of noise, let your truth be the sound,
’Cause the higher you rise, the harder the ground.
Don’t be the nasty one / keep it real, stay true,
Lift them up high / don’t tear them through.
What you give is what you get, that’s the bet,
Play it right / don’t live with regret.
Seen too many fall for the lure of greed,
Chasing fast fame, losing what they need.
They want the shine, want the throne, want the crown,
But trade their soul just to sit high up town.
The mirror don’t lie, gotta face what you see,
All the gold in the world don’t guarantee peace.
Stand up tall, let your spirit be known,
A king with no crowd still stands on his own.
Don’t be the nasty one / keep it real, stay true,
Lift them up high / don’t tear them through.
What you give is what you get, that’s the bet,
Play it right / don’t live with regret.
Make your choice before it’s done,
Every future written one by one.
When the lights fade and the crowd moves on,
Remember, don’t be the nasty one.
