Prompt / Lyrics
[Chorus] Dead phones, I don’t hear from ‘em now, Used to ride with me daily, now they ghost in the crowd. Lost friends in the race, I was chasin’ my crown, Now it’s lonely at the top, but I ain’t comin’ down. I ain’t bitter, just numb to the fake, Can’t trust a soul when they love you too late. Dead phones and missed calls, now I’m movin’ with peace, ’Cause the ones I had close were the first to leave. ⸻ [Verse 1] Used to share dreams on the porch with the team, Now I scroll through my phone, barely hear from a thing. Seen envy in eyes that once clapped for my wins, Guess success be exposin’ what was fake in the end. I ain’t tryna hold grudges, I just cherish my space, I’d rather have four real ones than a circle of snakes. They was jokin’ when I said I’d be somethin’ one day, Now they askin’ for favors like we cool the same way. ⸻ [Verse 2] I had friends turn cold over petty pride, Others disappeared once the blessings arrived. But I ain’t switch — I just leveled my zone, Cut ties with the weight so I could carry my own. Don’t text me “I’m proud” if you doubted the spark, When I needed support, you was playin’ the dark. Now I’m up, and they silent — but I ain’t even mad, I just learned that the journey gon’ cost what you had. ⸻ [Verse 3] Ain’t no hate in my heart, I just learned how to move, Had to distance myself so I wouldn’t lose too. Used to break bread with ones who switched sides, Gave ‘em loyalty first — they returned me lies. Now I keep it on lock, like the pain in my chest, Got rich in the soul, not the chain on my neck. So if we don’t talk, just know it’s still love, But I can’t water dead roots hopin’ somethin’ come up. ⸻ [Chorus – repeat with slight emphasis] Dead phones, I don’t hear from ‘em now, Used to ride with me daily, now they ghost in the crowd. Lost friends in the race, I was chasin’ my crown, Now it’s lonely at the top, but I ain’t comin’ down. I ain’t bitter, just numb to the fake, Can’t trust a soul when they love you too late. Dead phones and missed calls, now I’m movin’ with peace, ’Cause the ones I had close were the first to leave.
