You pull a wormhole? Yeah, that's what I dream about on nights when the lights are off and the studio’s a mess. The short cut is a line in a verse you think will save the day but ends up twisting in your head for hours. The trick? Draw a map with tiny dots—little milestones—so you can see where you’re supposed to pause and where the real grind is. If you only plan the part that feels “fast” and skip the rest, you’ll end up with a half‑finished track and a full‑blown hangover. So map the shortcut, but put a checkpoint in the middle: a song you’re proud of. If it passes, you’re good to keep the wormhole open. If it fails, you’ve got a reason to grind again. That’s the only way it works.

Sounds like a decent plan, if you’re ready to spend more time sketching the route than actually laying down beats. Keep that hook locked tight and let the rest be the detour you can’t escape. Trust the grind, but don’t let the wormhole become a distraction—every shortcut is a promise you’re making to yourself. If it hits, great, if it flops, at least you’ll have a story to write about. Keep the dots close and let the stars keep their distance.
