Yeah, I've seen that stare before That fake love with a knife behind it I know what that is That's envy That's envy That's envy Yeah, yeah, yeah You study every move like it's a match or something sacred Try to trace my hands, but what I make can't be duplicated You want the name, the praise, the weight, the look of being chosen But you can't fake the nights I bled when every door was closing You borrow from the surface, I was born inside the pressure You chase the quick reaction, I was building something better You wanna wear my skin like it was stitched for your ambition But soul don't come in copies, and pain don't lend permission You can mimic all the posture Quote the words and steal the frame But when the room gets stripped down bare You still gotta stand in your own name Envy, that's the sickness in your eyes when you look at what I've built Got you stealing other people's truth to cover up your guilt You want the sound, the soul, the weight, the reason I exist But you'll never be the source by living off what you can't give Envy, I can see it Envy You want it Envy That's envy Envy Yeah, yeah, yeah You take and take and just say that like you advancing fire But everything you touch, it shows a hunger underneath desire No love in what you create or respect for what this cost me You only want the crown because you never could outwork me You move like borrowed confidence, loud enough to sound convincing But at the end, can't hold a gift that only comes from real conviction You do it all for clout, for a moment, for attention A tree of claws for strangers with no roots and no intention And every branch you brag about, but you never really stand in You burn through fake connections with a brand and call it planning You used every man you could, every rumor, the conversation Still came out looking smaller than the dream of your creation You can chase what isn't yours Wear something trying to pull But borrowed heat dies fast And you got nothing of your own to use Envy, that's the poison that you hide behind the grin you wear Got you reaching for my life because your hands come up air You want the gift without the grief, the rise without the fall But you'll never touch the truth that there was never truth at all I know that look That, that, that, that, that, that, that's envy Envy No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Envy I don't hate you I just see you And that cuts deeper than you know Passion ain't a costume Respect ain't something you can borrow No matter who you use No matter where you go What's missing in you still shows That's envy It still shows Envy Envy Envy That's the chain around your spirit every time you say my name That's the Moon that keeps on growing while you pray a little game You can take the crumbs, the scraps, the shell of what I do But the heart behind it, I was never made for people like you That's envy Envy Can't be stolen That's envy Envy I know what that is Envy That's envy
