Rent Free

Hold up…

You made a whole song?

About me?

That’s cute.

⸻

I dropped one record, now you changing direction,

Watching every move like it’s part of your checklist.

Say you move silent, but you keep pressing play,

Know my whole catalog better than I do today.

Talk about work, talk about grind,

Funny how my name stay stuck in your mind.

You chasing my shadow while calling it yours,

I’m building new rooms, you repainting floors.

⸻

Keep talking.

Keep typing.

Every post just adds more mileage.

⸻

Go and talk now.

Talk real loud.

Still ain’t caught me,

I’m too far out.

You got my name

Living rent free.

Whole damn song

Still about me.

Go and talk now.

Say your piece.

I’m making music,

You making speeches.

⸻

You count comments, I count growth.

You count drama, I count goals.

You said you’re first?

Check the pace.

I lapped you twice

Without the race.

You call it smoke,

I call it air.

Soon as I leave,

There’s nothing there.

⸻

I don’t need a crown.

I don’t need applause.

If you’re copying my moves,

Then I already won.

⸻

Go and talk now.

Keep it going.

Every little shot

Just keeps me growing.

You wanted beef,

I wanted hits.

Guess that’s why

We’re different.

Go and talk now.

I’ll let you vent.

Thanks for paying

My free rent.

One more thing…

If you write another song,

At least make it original.
