(Intro – 8)
Soft crowd… faint voices sing “Happy birthday to you…”
Pitch bends, slows. Beat drops.
“They told you this was about life,
but it was really about time.”
(Hook – 8, sung slow)
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
What’s a day mean when time ain’t true?
You ain’t born — you just came through.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
They cheer your name, but they shape your view—
You ain’t born — you just came through.
(Verse 1 – 16)
They said “happy birthday,” I asked “to who?”
The name they gave or the being that’s true?
You praise a date, forget the breath,
Call it life while you serve they death.
They built the years to govern thought,
Taught you to count what can’t be bought.
Trained your joy to a number scheme,
Turned your soul into part of their dream.
Each candle lit keeps gears turnin’,
Each wish made fuels masked yearnin’.
You toast the chain while callin’ it gold;
That’s how belief keeps minds controlled.
They wrote the tune, handed applause,
Wrapped your will inside their laws.
Smile for the ritual, repeat the plan—
I’m not that body; I am that I am.
(Hook – 8, sung)
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
But who’s the “you” they singin’ to—
The system’s name or the being that’s true?
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
They praise your cage, disguise it new—
You ain’t born — you just came through.
(Verse 2 – 16)
Calendar prison, clock command,
Each year renews the master brand.
You dance and post and laugh and play,
But existence ain’t built that way.
Tradition sold as sacred truth,
Rituals training innocent youth.
You sing and clap believing you free,
But melody’s chain in a major key.
I don’t need dates to prove my breath;
I’m not confined by birth or death.
I celebrate now, not age or span—
No birthday owns this Life1st man.
Erase the script, reclaim the sound,
Break the rhythm that kept you bound.
When the chorus hits, I see through—
I ain’t born; I just came through.
(Hook – 8, sung)
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
You ain’t born—let that clue break through;
The being eternal is always you.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
No time, no chain, no lie to renew—
I ain’t born — I just came through.
(Verse 3 – 16)
I’m not rejecting life—exposing the lie,
I live beyond where systems die.
They made your joy a market trade,
Owned your breath with words they made.
They gave you years to price your worth,
But I existed before this Earth.
No start, no end, no master plan,
I’m not a label; I am that I am.
When that tune begins, I smile within;
Truth sits deeper than party and grin.
Keep your cake, your crowd, your flame—
I live outside their scripted game.
Intent eternal, clear and true,
Unowned, unboxed—I just came through.
(Final Hook – 8, sung)
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
When they sing that song, remember this clue:
They laud their time—I celebrate truth.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
No start, no end, no time to renew—
