歌詞
[drum machine: classic boom bap pattern with punchy kick and snare]
[vinyl scratch: quick cuts to introduce the track]
[Verse 1]
[bass: deep, grooving line]
In a world where shadows blend (blend)
Where her story twists and bends (yeah)
[scratching: emphasize "stage" and "cage"]
There's a name that lights the stage
In a spectrum, there's a cage
[horn sample: short, jazzy stabs]
From the roots of two rich lands
She stands where his-tor-y spans
[vinyl crackle intensifies]
A tale in every single hue
Is she one or is she two?
[chorus]
[bass: switch to more aggressive, syncopated pattern]
[drums: add cymbal crashes on key phrases]
Schrödinger's Kamala Harris (Who?)
In the frame where colors blend (Blend!)
Is she Black or is she Indian? (Which one?)
The answers shift, the lines transcend (Shift!)
[scratching: quick cuts between lines]
Through the lens of every gaze
She's the mix of every shade
Schrödinger's Ka-ma-la Harris (Who dat?)
In the history she's made (Made!)
[Verse 2]
[bass: return to original groove]
[add light piano chords in background]
In the tap-es-try of time (time)
Her identity's a climb (climb)
Is she de-fined by her skin's grace
Or the culture she embraces?
[horn sample: longer, more melodic phrase]
In the dance of every name
She's both sides of the same flame
[vinyl scratch: emphasize "spun" and "sun"]
In the narrative that's spun
She's the light and she's the sun
[chorus]
(Repeat chorus with same instrumentation)
[Bridge]
[drums: switch to half-time feel]
[bass: walking line]
From the roots of Indian soil
To the Black and proud re-coil
[synth pad: subtle atmospheric sound]
In her spirit, both worlds play
In her heart, they find their way
[drums: build up intensity]
Ev-er-y question, every glance
Is a dance, a given chance
[scratching: intensify leading to chorus]
To see her in the light of day
Or in the night where shadows sway
[chorus]
(Repeat chorus with same instrumentation)
[Outro]
[drums: strip back to just kick and snare]
[bass: simple, repetitive line]
In the dance of how we see
In the cross-roads of her plea
[vinyl crackle fades in]
She's a blend of every thread
In the stories that are said
[all instruments fade out except drums]
Schrödinger's Kamala Harris
In the colors she portrays
[final scratch and drum hit]
A symbol of both lands combined
In the spectrum, she will stay
[end]
