Title: Wake the City Up

Style: Hip-hop & R&B fusion, hard-hitting West Coast beats, melodic hooks, male lead with gospel-inspired backing vocals

[Intro, Atmospheric pads, Distant sirens]
(Yeah)
(They sleepin’ heavy — time to rise)
Let the truth echo through the silence

[Verse 1, Rapped Verse, Sparse beats]
They build kingdoms off lies and shame
Sayin’ justice is blind, but she knows their names
We see the chains under tailored suits
Whispers in courtrooms, erase the roots

[Pre-Chorus, Harmonic surprise, Vocal layers]
How many prophets gotta bleed for the truth?
How many candles lit for the youth?
How many systems rigged in the booth?
You can’t silence a voice that’s bulletproof

[Chorus, Melodic R&B, Gospel Choir harmonies]
Time to wake the city up
They been sleepin’ way too long
We the fire, we the drum
We the light behind the storm
No more silence, no more hush
We not like them — we speak up
Time to rise, time to run
We gon’ break it till it’s just

[Verse 2, Rapped Verse, Heavier drums]
They toss truth in the back like baggage
Sweep it under, call it damage control tactics
But we ain’t plastic, we breathin’ flame
Burn through lies, every masked name

[Bridge, Vocal solo with organ chords]
Let the sirens sing in key
We not enemies, just free
Got no chains around our feet
Marchin’ truth down every street

[Chorus, Full instrumentation, Soulful swell]
Time to wake the city up
They been sleepin’ way too long
We the fire, we the drum
We the light behind the storm
No more silence, no more hush
We not like them — we speak up
Time to rise, time to run
We gon’ break it till it’s just

[Break, Percussion-led, Chanting background vocals]
(Wake up!)
(Stand tall!)
(Speak truth!)
(Break walls!)

[Outro, Quiet arrangement, Echo vocals]
Sleep is a luxury truth can’t afford
We not knockin’ — we breakin’ the door
Justice ain’t a whisper, it’s a roar
We the sound that can’t be ignored

[End, Fading gospel chords]
(Wake the city…)
(Wake the city up…)
(Wake the city…)
(Yeah — wake the city up…)
