[Intro]
Scan my code
It don’t scan
Wrong program
New program (yeah)
[Verse 1]
They fed us blue screens
I wanted big scenes
Teacher said "pick dreams"
I picked sick schemes
Clock on the wall said "stay in your lane"
I hacked that hand, now it spin my way
They said "sit tight"
I said "sit where?"
I turned that desk to a pilot chair
Whole life felt like a hallway loop
Same three doors and the same old rules
Then I found one key in a throwaway file
Ticket so bright had to shield my eyes (whoa)
[Chorus]
Got that golden ticket out the system
Barcodes burnin’ when I’m with it
Every fake wall start glitchin’
I’m breakin’ the matrix, breakin’ the matrix
Got that one-way pass to the real
Static fall back when I feel
Every locked line, I rewrite it
I’m breakin’ the matrix, breakin’ the matrix (yeah)
[Verse 2]
They love that small talk, I’m talkin’ source code
Read between lies like a Morse code
I saw the cracks where the paint peeled thin
Little bright lines where the truth leaked in
Scrollin’ through feeds, everybody on script
Copy-paste lives with a subtle little twist
I muted that play, hit "escape" on the cast
Pulled my own mask like "who’s that in the glass?"
Now it’s backdoor stairs to the rooftop view
Sky look big when it’s made for you
I don’t chase gates, I engrave paths
I don’t take seats, I just make class
[Chorus]
Got that golden ticket out the system
Barcodes burnin’ when I’m with it
Every fake wall start glitchin’
I’m breakin’ the matrix, breakin’ the matrix
Got that one-way pass to the real
Static fall back when I feel
Every locked line, I rewrite it
I’m breakin’ the matrix, breakin’ the matrix (hey)
[Bridge]
Hand on my heart, other hand through the screen
What if the limit’s just old code in me?
I don’t need luck, just a clear new script
Say "control self" then I hit that click
(Click, click)
Whole world shift (woah)
[Chorus]
Got that golden ticket out the system
Barcodes burnin’ when I’m with it
Every fake wall start glitchin’
I’m breakin’ the matrix, breakin’ the matrix
Got that one-way pass to the real
Static fall back when I feel
Every locked line, I rewrite it
I’m breakin’ the matrix, breakin’ the matrix (yeah)
