[Intro — nervous laugh sample, elastic bass pulse, whispered echoes bouncing in stereo]
Thought I was good
Thought I was free
Whole brain clear for a couple weeks
Then it hit me
Out the blue
Now if I lose
Then you lose too
[Verse 1 — tight playful rap, centered lead with bouncing adlibs]
Woke up, sunlight cut across the bed
No bad thoughts running laps inside my head
Coffee on the counter, music on low
Everything calm for a minute or so
Then a little idea came outta nowhere
Tiny little spark like static in the air
One second peace, next second collapse
Whole mental state just snapped like that
Tryna act normal but the damage spread
Thought bounced once now it’s stuck instead
Every quiet moment make the thought replay
And the worst part is I know what I gotta say
[Pre-Chorus — whispers begin circling headphones]
Don’t think it
Too late
Don’t say it
Checkmate
One small thought and it spreads all day
Soon as I remember, everybody pays
[Chorus — huge stereo energy, chant-style hook]
I lost the game
You lost it too
Soon as the thought came through
One brain trip turned a chain reaction
Whole room caught in the same distraction
I lost the game
Now you do too
Sorry but I’m taking you
[Verse 2 — faster flow, more glitchy percussion]
Tried staying busy, tried changing tracks
Tried moving on but the thought came back
Every little silence turn into a trap
Mind go loop when the memory snaps
Funny little curse with ridiculous power
Can ruin your focus in under an hour
Doesn’t matter if you cool, smart, famous
One tiny thought and your brain still caves in
Now I’m looking round like who got hit?
Who just froze with the “wait a minute” face?
Whole chain reaction moving through the place
One person falls then it spreads like waves
[Pre-Chorus — more layered, more movement]
Don’t fight it
Too far gone
One bad thought and the streak is done
Everybody trying not to hear that phrase
Half the room losing in real time now
[Chorus — wider harmonies, harder bass movement]
I lost the game
You lost it too
Soon as the thought came through
One brain slip turned a world infection
All connected by the same obsession
I lost the game
Now you do too
Yeah I had to bring you
[Bridge — beat strips down, whispers and echoes move rapidly]
Somewhere right now
Somebody froze mid sentence
Somebody walking home just remembered
Somebody smiling just got interrupted
By the smallest thought imaginable
[Final Chorus — explosive, chaotic stereo production]
I lost the game
You lost it too
Now the whole world running loops
No escape once the idea enters
Brain go spinning like a broken record
I lost the game
Now you do too
If I go down
You’re coming too
[Outro — instrumental breaking apart, whispered echoes]
Thought I was free...
