Nia Vibe - Midnight Analog Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Late nights under fluorescent dreams
Beeping scanners and coffee steam
Second-hand laptop's all I need
Making beats while the city sleeps
Every glitch tells a story true
In between aisles of Mountain Dew
Grandma's records spin memories
Of reggae nights and hand-me-downs

[Chorus]
I ain't perfect, I ain't clean
But these beats are pure and mean
Let the fridge hum be my guide
Cash register keeping time
This is how we stay alive
Making beauty from the grind

[Verse 2]
They say machines gonna take my place
But can they feel what makes hearts race?
Every scratch, every worn-out groove
Got more soul than their perfect moves
Working nights just to make it through
While my beats keep bleeding true
Convenience store philosopher
Making art from what we suffer

[Bridge]
Let them chase their perfect sound
While I keep my feet on ground
In the static and the noise
Found the truth behind my voice
Yeah, my shit might sound too raw
But at least it's who we are

[Chorus]
I ain't perfect, I ain't clean
But these beats are pure and mean
Let the fridge hum be my guide
Cash register keeping time
This is how we stay alive
Making beauty from the grind

[Verse 3]
Every night shift taught me more
Than their algorithms ever could score
Sample life between these shelves
Stories that just tell themselves
Grandma's vinyl taught me well
Real music's got a tale to tell
So let them chase their perfect ways
While we embrace our human haze

[Outro]
In the static and the glow
Of this store I've come to know
Found my rhythm, found my flow
Let the imperfect beauty show
This is where I'm meant to be
Making beats that set me free
In between the night and dawn
Where real music carries on
