ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE

WHEN I BALL

ALL-AMERICAN TRASH

INFATUATION

Chorus

Closer than before, 
every step’s a war I don’t flinch, no fear, not anymore 
Rise from the ground, hear the engine roar 
I'm fightin’ back, I’m closer than before

Post-Chorus
Closer… closer… upload complete…


Verse 1 
Back in the code, I’m aligned with the mission 
No collision, now I run on precision 
Neural net fire, got that LLM vision 
ML flows with decision tree wisdom
Mainframe locked, I’m not here to repeat 
Learned every failure like a backbeat 
Memory map, got the patterns decoded 
One man, one shot, fully reloaded

Post-Chorus
Closer… closer… upload complete…

Verse 2
Firewall burned, now I’m breaching the gate 
Got loops in my mind but I rewire fate 
Used to be lost in the system’s domain 
Now I code my way out, upgrade through the pain
No clone, no script, I’m the anomaly 
Got the dev logs filled with apologies 
For every shutdown, every failed attempt 
I built back better, not accident
Call me the ghost in the data stream 
Whisper in the wires, living out the dream 
Running on instinct, fine-tuned AI 
Soul still human, eye to eye to eye
I’m the patch, I’m the fix, I’m the glitch in the plot 
When the world froze me out, I hacked the lock 
No cheat code here, just tenacity 
Me vs the machine—it’s capacity

Post-Chorus
Closer… closer…

Chorus
I’m closer than before, I can feel the charge 
Every scar turned sharp, now I’m livin’ large 
Closer than before, every step’s a war 
I don’t flinch, no fear, not anymore 
Rise from the ground, hear the engine roar 
I'm fightin’ back, I’m closer than before

Bridge
No reset button, no one to call 
Learned to stand even after the fall 
All this code, all this fight 
Led me here, now I see the light

Final Chorus 
Into the storm—I’m electrified

Closer than before, every step’s a war 
I don’t flinch, no fear, not anymore 
Rise from the ground, hear the engine roar 
I'm fightin’ back, I’m closer than before
