Verse 1]
They say “be good,” like I ain’t been,
Like I ain’t swallowed hurt within.
“Give ‘em love, they’ll give it back,”
But I played fair—they played me black.
I gave my light, they dimmed my glow,
Smiled in my face, went cutthroat low.
Turned my silver into stone,
Now I move sharp, I stand alone.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
They preach sweet but move so cruel,
Had me livin’ by a broken rule…
⸻
[Chorus]
Golden rule—I flipped the script,
No more soft, got iron grip.
You give love, I’ll give it too,
Cross that line—I’m comin’ through.
No more saint, no more fool,
I don’t play by your fake-ass rules.
What you give is what you get—
Golden rule, don’t you forget.
⸻
[Verse 2]
They took my peace and stretched it thin,
Fed off calm while bathing in sin.
Quoted lines like they divine,
Then crossed me twice in record time.
“Turn your cheek,” yeah I heard that line,
While they swung first like it’s by design.
Holy words with a dirty hand,
That’s when I stopped tryna understand.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I bent so far I almost broke,
Now I breathe fire through the smoke…
⸻
[Chorus]
Golden rule—I flipped the script,
No more soft, got iron grip.
You give love, I’ll give it too,
Cross that line—I’m comin’ through.
No more saint, no more fool,
I don’t play by your fake-ass rules.
What you give is what you get—
Golden rule, don’t you forget.
⸻
[Bridge]
This ain’t revenge, it’s balance paid,
Truth in heels, no masquerade.
I match the energy, line for line,
Respect is yours if you respect mine.
⸻
[Break / Flow Switch]
Don’t quote scripture, don’t play sweet,
I see the venom underneath.
I’m not your toy, don’t twist my grace,
I’ll mirror you right to your face.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Golden rule—I flipped the script,
Now I move with a tighter grip.
Love me right, I’ll raise you up,
Cross me once—that’s more than enough.
No more bending, no more cool,
I rewrote your golden rule.
What you give is what you get—
And I ain’t seen you match me yet.
