(The sound of a match striking. Deep, distorted hum.) I don’t want a seat at the table. I want the lease on the building. (Beat drops: heavy, slow, tectonic)
[Verse 1] The ceiling’s too low, I’m catching my breath in the clouds I’m the only one silent while everyone’s screaming out loud. You call it a "moment," I call it a permanent stay I’m the debt that you owe, and the price that you’re gonna pay. My DNA’s written in codes that you’ll never decode I’m the ice on the bridge while you’re flooring it down on the road.
[Pre-Chorus] Don’t check the scoreboard, I already broke the machine I’m the ghost in the static, the glitch on the premium screen. One... Two... Watch 'em fall through.
[Chorus] (This is the viral hit line) I’m not a star, I’m the black hole they’re circling round I’m the king of the ruins before they even hit the ground. You’re chasing the "maybe," I’m holding the "already done" I’m the shadow that stays when you’re tired of chasing the sun. Yeah, keep the applause—I’d rather have the keys I brought the whole industry down to its knees.
[Bridge] (Music thins out to a cold, metallic heartbeat) They told me I’m "too much." I told ‘em they’re "not enough." They’re playing for "likes"... I’m playing for blood. (Sudden, violent bass swell) DO IT.
[Final Chorus] I’m not a star, I’m the black hole they’re circling round I’m the king of the ruins before they even hit the ground. You’re chasing the "maybe," I’m holding the "already done" I’m the shadow that stays when you’re tired of chasing the sun.
[Outro] (Music cuts to a dead stop) The plot didn't twist... I just finished the book. (Heavy door slams shut)
