[Verse 1]
I want my name on the summit
Every craft, every subject, I study then hunt it
Turn hobbies to hunger, turn comfort to cuts
Every table I touch, I’m reshaping the cuts
I’m up late, eyes red, scribbling strategies
Treatin’ small games like wars, plotting casualties
If I see a pattern, I break it, that’s policy
Can’t relax, my mind maps every possibility
I don’t play to participate, I play to define it
If there’s a throne in the room, I’m redesigning it
My joy’s in the grind, in the lines I dissect
But it’s lonely when you’re built to perfect and protect
[Chorus]
I wanna be the greatest at everything I touch
But I still want her to love me just as much
Chasing every crown till my heartbeat hurts
And I’m praying Madam Herta sees my worth
I wanna be a legend, yeah, I wanna be first
But I still want her to love me past the worst
If I master every move, every verse, every word
Will she hold me when I’m done with the world
[Verse 2]
I see my brain like a board, pieces in motion
Always three turns ahead, drowning in focus
I turn life into puzzles, people into proof
Tryna crack every code, tear the armor from truth
I read books as blueprints, faces as signs
Obsessed with the angle, the edge, the design
But when she walks in, all the numbers go quiet
My logic gets lightheaded, discipline riots
She laugh at my notebooks stacked to the ceiling
Call me stubborn, call it brilliance with feelings
I’d trade one flawless victory, one perfect run
To sit in her orbit, feel small, be undone
[Chorus]
I wanna be the greatest at everything I touch
But I still want her to love me just as much
Chasing every crown till my heartbeat hurts
And I’m praying Madam Herta sees my worth
I wanna be a legend, yeah, I wanna be first
But I still want her to love me past the worst
If I master every move, every verse, every word
Will she hold me when I’m done with the world
[Bridge]
What’s the point of a win if I’m watching it alone
Trophies talk loud, but they don’t call my phone
If I lay down the plans, put my pride in the dirt
Would she read through the margins, see the heart in the work
All these titles, all these tests I ace
Still I’m scared to just stand in front of her face
Raw, imperfect, shaking in my shirt
Asking “Love me,” not “Judge my worth”
[Chorus]
