Funny how it works

[Intro – playful, almost talking]

Funny how it works…
Yeah… funny how it works

⸻

[Verse 1 – rhythmic, bouncy]

Funny how the loud ones talk the least
Funny how the broke ones flex the most
Funny how they smile in your face
Then switch up when you need them close

Funny how the truth gets twisted quick
If it don’t fit what they believe
Funny how they judge the way you live
While hiding everything they keep

I’ve seen people sell their soul for less
Just to feel a little seen
Trade a little peace of mind
For a version of a dream

It’s all a game, just different rules
Depending who you try to be
And everybody’s playing parts
But no one really feeling free

⸻

[Hook – catchy, quirky]

Funny how it works
Funny how it goes

Everybody wants the crown
Nobody wants the lows

Funny how it looks
From the outside view

But it ain’t so funny
When it’s happening to you

⸻

[Verse 2 – more attitude]

Funny how attention is a drug
And everybody wants a hit
Scroll a little, lose yourself
Tryna feel a part of it

Funny how we measure self-worth
By numbers on a screen
Like a double tap defines
What we’re worth or what we mean

I’ve seen people change their voice
Just to match what’s getting played
Lose themselves in trends
Just to not feel out of place

It’s a cycle, it repeats
But nobody wants to say
That we’re all just chasing something
That keeps slipping anyway

⸻

[Hook]

Funny how it works
Funny how it goes

Everybody wants the crown
Nobody wants the lows

Funny how it looks
From the outside view

But it ain’t so funny
When it’s happening to you

⸻

[Bridge – theatrical shift]

(slower, spoken)

You ever notice…
It’s always “one day”…

But that day never comes

⸻

[Verse 3 – slightly darker tone]

Funny how we act like we got time
Like it’s something we can spend
Like it’s always coming back
Like it’s never gonna end

Funny how we chase what we don’t need
While ignoring what we got
Lose ourselves in everything
Then forget what we forgot

⸻

[Final Hook – lifted]

Funny how it works
Funny how it goes

Everybody wants the crown
Nobody wants the lows

Funny how it looks
From the outside view

But it ain’t so funny
When it’s happening to you

⸻

[Outro – stripped]

Funny how it works…

Funky rap, bouncy bass, quirky piano, light drums, playful rhythm, theatrical delivery, spoken flow, energetic tone
