Nia Vibe - Static Inheritance Lyrics

[Intro]
Static memories fade in and out
Like grandma's voice on the radio now
Digital dust, analog dreams
Nothing's ever quite what it seems

[Verse 1]
Late night, hard drive's humming low
Sorting through files, memories in tow
Found her voice through the static and rain
Speaking patois, calling my name
Manchester's streets echo in my brain
Factory ghosts dancing through the pain
Mama's footsteps down hospital halls
Working nights, answering calls

[Chorus]
Every glitch tells a story untold
Every scratch holds a memory to hold
Can't compress what runs in my veins
Digital world can't contain these chains
Can't contain these chains

[Verse 2]
Aisha says I got walls too high
But she don't know how hard I try
To keep these fragments safe inside
While watching old worlds slowly die
Rain hits the window, metal beats
Like grandma's heart still on repeat
Through broken signals, I can see
The strength that flows from her to me

[Bridge]
Save, delete, corrupted files
Generation gaps stretch for miles
But some things never fade away
Like the words I heard her say

[Chorus]
Every glitch tells a story untold
Every scratch holds a memory to hold
Can't compress what runs in my veins
Digital world can't contain these chains
Can't contain these chains

[Outro]
Static memories fade in and out
Like whispers I can't live without
Some things just can't be saved to drive
But in my blood, they stay alive
