I used to chase that main character high Living for the edit, feeding the lie Burnt through the seasons like they weren't mine Just a ghost in the feed, wasting the time But now the ego’s on a silent mode I'm decoding the weight of the road I chose Used to want the clout, now I want the peace Staring at the mirror, I'm keeping the receipts The noise is mid, the fever’s gone I'm the only one left to rely on The playground’s closed, the lights are dim I'm locked in now, learning how to swim The game is moving different tonight The shadows are longer than the light I looked at the chaos, the stress, the mess How could I not turn this into a business? From a glitch in the dark to a clean design This is a brief history of mine Yeah, a brief history of mine They’ll call it a pivot, they’ll say I changed lanes But they’re still playing checkers while I map the veins I'm not an industry plant, I'm the root in the dirt Calculating exactly what the struggle was worth No more gatekeeping the pain I felt I'm playing the hand that I actually dealt The void isn’t empty, it’s just high stakes It’s the silence you hear when the cycle breaks Thirty years of almost, thirty years of soon Now I'm the gravity, I'm not just the Moon I'm zeroed in, no room for the fake I’ve got too much legacy on the line to break It was always going to end like this A professional touch on a Judas kiss Transforming the ache into a brand Holding the world in a steady hand The game is moving different tonight The shadows are longer than the light I looked at the chaos, the stress, the mess How could I not turn this into a business? From a glitch in the dark to a clean design This is a brief history of mine I'm done with the lore, I'm living the truth The man finally settled the debt of the youth A brief history
