[Verse 1]
Pre-market coffee in a chipped glass
Red green candles on a slim graph
Lines on the chart like trip paths
One wrong tap and the week crash
Got my plan on a sticky note
Delta, theta, I wrote the quotes
Heart rate spiking at the open bell
Finger on the mouse like “hope it holds”
It’s me vs me in the watchlist glow
Do I chase this run or let it go
I see last week’s loss in the corner of my mind
Same ticker, same time, different kind of fight
[Chorus]
I’m tradin' me, not tradin' you
Click that button, face the truth
If I lose, that’s old me losin'
If I win, that’s new me choosin'
Breathe in fear, breathe out greed
Eyes on levels, not on speed
Perfect timing’s patient proof
It’s me vs me, I’m tradin' me, not you (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Breakout fakeout, wick so rude
Took my stop by a cent or two
Wanna jump back in, “I’ll get it back”
That’s revenge talk, that’s the trap
Talk to myself like a coach on call
“Wait for the retest, don’t force at all”
Let the candle close, let the story tell
Price action preacher, I know this well
Out the money Friday, clock runs thin
Can I sit on hands, can I not give in
Premium burn like a lit fuse, quick
Discipline rich, or emotion rich
[Chorus]
I’m tradin' me, not tradin' you
Click that button, face the truth
If I lose, that’s old me losin'
If I win, that’s new me choosin'
Breathe in fear, breathe out greed
Eyes on levels, not on speed
Perfect timing’s patient proof
It’s me vs me, I’m tradin' me, not you (oh)
[Bridge]
Cut that loss, that’s courage talkin'
Let that bag go, keep walkin'
Every red day carving rules in stone
Every green day just says “stay grown”
[Chorus]
I’m tradin' me, not tradin' you
Click that button, face the truth
If I lose, that’s old me losin'
If I win, that’s new me choosin'
Breathe in fear, breathe out greed
Eyes on levels, trust the scheme
Perfect timing’s patient proof
It’s me vs me, I’m tradin' me, not you
