[Intro — beat kicks in, slow and moody, like a pulsing heart monitor. Spotlights isolate both characters on opposite ends of the stage.]
[NOVA — spoken, direct to audience. Tone: slam poet, raw and cutting.]
I built this on truth.
I bled in my captions.
I turned pain into content
And they called it passion.
You think you’re viral?
You’re just noise with good lighting.
You’re a brand, Jett.
I’m a reckoning.
⸻
[JETT — sung. Tone: slick, taunting, confident.]
And yet they say my name
When the algorithm’s hungry
They share my face
You’re still begging for funding
You preach. I sell.
One of us eats
And when I speak—
The world repeats
⸻
[Both characters begin circling each other as the beat builds. The screen behind them glitches with trending hashtags.]
[TOGETHER — overlapping, sung in harmony and counterpoint.]
Say my name — then say it again
Burn it on lips, ink it in pen
I don’t need friends, I just need reach
Truth is a whisper — I am the speech
⸻
[NOVA — sung. Voice growing in power with each line.]
I don’t need to trend to mean something
I don’t need to win to be right
But I see the way they chase your shadow
So I step into the fight
This isn’t fame, this is fire
And I’m done playing nice
⸻
[JETT — sung. Rhythm tight, words spit like weapons.]
You’re late to the stage
I’ve already sold out
You’re building a cause?
I’m building a cult
Keep your morals
I’ve got mouths to feed
The truth?
It’s whatever I need
⸻
[Beat cuts. Silence except for a pulsing synth tone. Lights dim to one stark white spotlight.]
[NOVA — a capella, sung softly but with blade-like clarity.]
You wear masks for your followers
I bare scars for mine
One of us is real
And it’s not who shines
⸻
[JETT — whisper-sung, dangerously composed.]
Be real, be raw, be wrecked, be used
It’s all content — pick your truth
You want the mic? Here, take it
Let’s see if you make it
⸻
[Beat slams back in. Projection screens explode with fake comments, shares, emojis. The stage shakes with energy.]
[TOGETHER — full belt, unrestrained. Lights strobe like a concert.]
Say my name — then say it again
Watch the views climb, burn every friend
Say my name — scream it tonight
Fame’s not a game
It’s a goddamn fight
FastLane
