Latency
Lyrics
Highlighted phrases are titles of songs in the catalog, including this song’s own.
Ran reps in the red
No flags no advisories
Packets sent clean disappeared silently
Handshake missed no failure returned to me
Just lag in the
Line trained my expectancy
Showed up too early rooms still schematic
Chairs outta place exits half automatic
Built weight in the
Dark where reflection quit
Logged slow progression no chart would admit
Clock leaned sideways seconds misallocated
Time felt rented temporally weighted
Read lag as loss
That was rookie math
Confused dead air with the
End of the path
Stayed executable headless reserved
No crowd no cheer just pressure conserved
Pace stayed patient posture preserved
Heat built quiet while timing deferred
Nothing hits when I’m waitin on it
Everything rings when I let it go
Pressed too hard got dead line static
Stopped reachin now the phone won’t close
Yeah it’s quiet till
It isn’t at all
That delay got a
Mind of its own
Latency don’t answer need
It responds when you’re already whole
Shift hit clean
When I cut the refresh
Stopped interrogatin silence for yes
Bandwidth back signal stabilized
Eyes on the build
Not the feedback replies
That’s when the backlog cracked and released
Old pings resurfaced like they never deceased
Women tap in
When the want goes mute
When you busy livin inside your truth
No pitch in my tone
No hunger to sell
Just grounded and full calibrated well
They call it allure mystique command
I call it pressure
Finally off the demand
Congestion dissolved paths realigned
Timeouts resolve in their own damn time
Signal settled static unstressed
Need leaves clean then
The system says yes
Nothing hits when I’m waitin on it
Everything rings when I let it go
Pressed too hard got dead line static
Stopped reachin now the phone won’t close
Yeah it’s quiet till
It isn’t at all
That delay got a
Mind of its own
Latency don’t answer need
It responds when you’re already whole
Seen it echo in capital craft
Skills stack interest off screen off stats
Years of rehearsal negligible yield
Then returns show up
Once the ego peeled
Royalties land at old addresses
Applause late outta phase with effort metrics
Learned not to flinch
When the quiet extends
Not every silence is sayin you’re bent
Stopped narratin drought like personal debt
Started readin the gap as buffer offset
If nothing arrives I don’t bargain
Or plead
I widen the window throttle the need
Pattern proof progress precision persisted
Metrics miss motion momentum encrypted
Process proof progress packed
Pressure parsed patience practiced
Signal sharpened static starved status stalled
But standards massive
World answers late not crooked or bent
Just runnin schedules it never sent
Funny how it comes back
When you’re good without it
No clean resolve in this feedback loop
No stamp at the end sayin approved
Some systems run without closure cues
They just keep movin with altered use
I don’t force sync
Or rush the land
Learned how to live mid loading span
Interest stacks while the screen stays still
You only feel broke
If you chase the thrill
Of instant proof immediate gain
Watchin the system obey your pain
If love shows late
I don’t rewrite tracks
If wins come late
I don’t double back
Calm cadence coded composure intact
Latency schoolin how not to react
Buffer still spinnin state unresolved
I move forward fluent in delayed resolve
Nothing hits when I’m waitin on it
Everything rings when I let it go
Latency don’t answer need
It responds when you’re already whole
