NBA YoungBoy

Intro:
G D Em C
G D Em C

Chorus:
G                D
No love, no life, no lights in the sky
Em                    C
I been lost, trying to find where I lie
G                D
No love, no life, no lights in the sky
Em                          C
In this darkness, I just wanna feel alive

Verse 1:
G                   D
I've been walkin' through the shadows, no end in sight
Em                      C
Caught up in my thoughts every single night
G                     D
Where do I go when I'm feelin' this low?
Em                        C
Heart cold as ice, and it's startin' to show

G                           D
Ain't got no love from the ones I trust
Em                      C
Heart full of pain, but I hide it tough
G               D
No life, every day feels the same
Em                              C
When you're trapped in your mind, it's a losin' game

Chorus:
G                D
No love, no life, no lights in the sky
Em                    C
I been lost, trying to find where I lie
G                D
No love, no life, no lights in the sky
Em                          C
In this darkness, I just wanna feel alive

Verse 2:
G                     D
Ain't no lights in sight, just the tears I fight
Em                        C
All these demons in my head every restless night
G                  D
Tryin' to climb out, but I'm fallin' deeper
Em                      C
No love around, just me and my reaper

G                     D
Where's the hope when you're reachin' for none?
Em                          C
When the days feel long and the nights never done
G                        D
Livin' in the shadow, feelin' so hollow
Em                   C
Lookin' for love, but it never follows

Chorus:
G                D
No love, no life, no lights in the sky
Em                    C
I been lost, trying to find where I lie
G                D
No love, no life, no lights in the sky
Em                          C
In this darkness, I just wanna feel alive

Bridge:
G               D
No love's gonna save me here
Em              C
No life's gonna change the fear
G                     D
Lookin' out to find the light
Em                  C
But the skies are still so empty tonight

Chorus:
G                D
No love, no life, no lights in the sky
Em                    C
I been lost, trying to find where I lie
G                D
No love, no life, no lights in the sky
Em                          C
In this darkness, I just wanna feel alive

Outro:
G          D
No love, no life
Em                   C
No lights in the sky
G               D
Just tryna survive
Em               C
One day at a time
G                   D
Yeah

For "No Love, No Life, No Lights," I envision a tempo of around 80 BPM, creating a slow and somber mood to reflect the raw, emotional lyrics. The drum beat should emphasize the gravity of the track with a steady, heartfelt rhythm. Here’s a basic pattern for the drum beat:

[Intro/Verse/Chorus]

• Kick drum on the 1 and 3 beats:

  • 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

  Kick pattern: Boom - - - Boom - - -

• Snare drum on the 2 and 4 beats:

  • 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

  Snare pattern: - Clap - - - Clap -

• Hi-hat, closed, playing eighth notes:

  • 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

  Hi-hat pattern: Tss Tss Tss Tss Tss Tss Tss Tss

Combine these elements:

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
Boom Tss Clap Tss Boom Tss Clap Tss

Bridge:

For the bridge, you can pull back slightly to emphasize the shift in lyrics, using lighter beats and maybe even introducing some tom fills for a more dramatic effect:

• Kick drum on the 1 and 3 beats:

  • 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

  Kick pattern: Boom - - - Boom - - -

• Snare drum only on the 3 beat for a lighter feel:

  • 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

  Snare pattern: - - - Clap - - - -

• Hi-hat transitions to quarter notes, giving a more spaced out feeling:

  • 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

  Hi-hat pattern: Tss - Tss - Tss - Tss -

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
Boom - Tss - Clap - Tss -

This basic structure should allow the lyrics to shine while providing a solid, emotional backbone to the song.
