Intro (glitchy ad-libs)
— cut the tape
— rewind that
— who said that?
Hook
He said “fuck this”—
Wait, that’s my line.
She gave me a kiss—
Ay, that’s just rhymes.
World outta sync, but the beat stay fine,
You living in yours, but the script stay mine.
Verse 1
He said “I quit,” I said “nah, that’s borrowed,”
You flex like today ain’t rented from tomorrow,
I sip on doubt, then I spit out sorrow,
Shadowbox fate in a hoodie I borrowed.
She said “you different,” I said “define it,”
Mind like a maze with no cosigner,
Step in the booth, watch time get tiny,
Seconds drip slow like cheap designer.
Mirror talk back like “who you foolin’?”
I said “me too,” now the truth start duelin’,
Foot on the gas but the car ain’t movin’,
Engine full rage but the map ain’t proven.
Hook
He said “fuck this”—
Wait, that’s my line.
She gave me a kiss—
Ay, that’s just rhymes.
Cut that scene, let the bass redesign,
Glitch in the frame but the flow divine.
Verse 2 (beat switch / off-kilter)
Left brain math, right brain jazz,
Heartbeat 808 in a wine glass,
I talk in loops, let the punchlines pass,
Throw ‘em in reverse like a time-lapse crash.
She said “you cold,” I said “thermostat,”
Turn pain to art, yeah I format that,
Life try to buffer? I torrent that,
Dreams on the roof with a doormat mat.
He said “be normal,” I said “define,”
Normal just fear in a suit and tie,
I bend the grid, make the snare off-time,
Clap hit late but it still on time.
Bridge (spoken word / airy)
If I steal my thoughts back
From the version of me
That said I can’t—
Do I still owe myself an apology?
Echo say yes.
Reverb say nah.
Silence just smile like “ha.”
Hook (distorted)
He said “fuck this”—
Wait, that’s my line.
She gave me a kiss—
Ay, that’s just rhymes.
Break the fourth wall, step outside,
Audience gone but I’m still live.
Outro
Mic drop? Nah, I levitate it.
Rules wrote once, I edited it.
If he say “fuck this”—
I already did
Who this guy trying to kid?
