[Intro]
*(Vinyl scratch, distorted synth swell)*
[Verse 1]
Yo, rewind the tape, let’s resurrect the sound
Before the fame’s illusion, before the walls came down
I told ’em spin it twice, like sirens in the black
Leavin’ ’em chasin’ echoes on a faded track
I’m the crack in the concrete, the chill down the spine
The echo in the alley, the name on the sign
They swore I vanished, thought the fire turned to rust
Nah, I was just recalibratin’, watchin’ from the dust.
[Chorus]
I run it back, yeah, run it back, hit ’em with the new void
Same deadly rhythm wrapped in a different noise
I run it back, yeah, run it back, unleash the decoy
I’m the phantom on the record, shatterin’ every toy.
[Verse 2]
They hunted for the crown, brought blades to the siege
But I’m ghostin’ through the matrix, livin’ off the creed
Where laws are just suggestions and truth leaves a scar
Where the punchline cracks the jawbone, no matter who you are
Ain’t seekin’ handshakes, only leavin’ ’em drenched
Every bar’s a tripwire, a vow that can’t be quenched
So rewind to the first frame, witness how it’s spun
By a mind wired for chaos, beneath a frozen sun.
[Chorus]
I run it back, yeah, run it back, hit ’em with the new void
Same deadly rhythm wrapped in a different noise
I run it back, yeah, run it back, unleash the decoy
I’m the phantom on the record, shatterin’ every toy.
[Outro]
Spin it one more time, let the bass shake the cage
I’m forever in the rhythm, never turn the page
I’m the front page, the last word, the fever in the haze
Yeah, run it back, playboy… you’re lost in the maze.
*(B**t fades with a final distorted echo and distant siren)*
