[Intro]
16:17, phones hit hard
Transit-control facility fire
Rush-hour rail cut to red

[Verse 1]
I take lead, no claim
Leo marks seconds
First line clean: facility fire
Nina waits on callback wire
Suspended-line map loads fast
Major routes paused across town
Breaking desk sets red push template
I say, "Hold for the callback."

[Pre-Chorus]
Narrow it, source it, test the rest
No injury word, leave that line
Ready the alert, match source to source
Send when the facts align

[Chorus]
We beat Blink, stayed on course
Fast, and the facts stayed clean
Current first on confirmed alert
We beat Blink

[Verse 2]
Nina's callback lands; I cut the room
Transit authority confirms fire
Service suspended, map is right
No injury word, leave that line
Leo calls closure times; I count each change
Do not widen what we lack
Breaking desk sends it clean
Every update tracks back

[Pre-Chorus]
Narrow it, source it, test the rest
No injury word, leave that line
Ready the alert, match source to source
Send when the facts align

[Chorus]
We beat Blink, stayed on course
Fast, and the facts stayed clean
Current first on confirmed alert
We beat Blink
(We beat Blink)

[Instrumental Solo]

[Verse 3]
Fire-service update comes through
Closures shift; we mark what moved
Blink alert hits after ours
Same confirmed fact, later time
Half a beat, the room goes still
Then every desk pulls air
Ben sees proof; Leo logs time

[Bridge]
16:17 stays on the board
The method works
Not luck, just process
Fast counts when it holds

[Chorus]
We beat Blink, stayed on course
Fast, and the facts stayed clean
Current first on confirmed alert
We beat Blink
(We beat Blink)
Lines still closed, the work stays live
Map updates keep filing in
Current was first, and the facts held up
We beat Blink

[Outro]
Ben smiles, Nina checks once more
Leo tags another change
I keep the live file open
First clean win, still running

[End]
