[Verse 1]
Calendar says it’s twenty-twenty-six
Still broke in the back of the algorithm
I got flair
I got flair
I got nothing to wear
But a thrift store crown and a system glitch
Mom says “why don’t you get a real job?”
Dad says “kid
That’s a phase
You’ll stop”
I’m like
“yeah yeah sure
I’ll quit tomorrow”
While I autograph my parking tickets
[Chorus]
What the hell is even that?
That face you make when I don’t quit
I’m the joke you tried to laugh off
Now the punchline’s getting rich
What the hell is even that?
I turn your eye-roll to a chant
You said “daddy
Chill” in the back
Now you’re screaming every word
Every word
Right back
[Verse 2]
Label dude scrolling while he shakes my hand
Says “kid
I love your… whole… thing… I guess”
I say “cool
Cool
Cool
Post a pic of my shoes
Tag it: almost famous
Kinda stressed”
I play one show in a laundromat
Spin-cycle mosh pit
Quarters in the hat
They film me on cracked little phone screens
By morning I’m a meme in your group chat (hey!)
[Chorus]
What the hell is even that?
That clip you shared just to clown
Now it’s stuck inside your skull
Won’t shut up
Won’t calm down
What the hell is even that?
From “who?” to stuck on your dash
You said “daddy
Chill
This will pass”
Guess your future came in loud
Came in loud
Like that
[Bridge]
I’m the glitch in your timeline (uh-huh)
I’m the ad you can’t skip (can’t skip)
I’m the kid you dismissed at the back of the list
Now I live on your lips
On your lips (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
What the hell is even that?
Every hater in the crowd
Singing louder than my friends
Guess you finally like me now
What the hell is even that?
Obscurity can kiss my ass
You said “daddy
Chill
It won’t last”
But the last laugh’s hitting hard
Hitting hard
Like that
