Big Talk, Small Print (Rap)

[Intro] Yeah—check the fit, check the math I came in laughing, left with the map [Verse 1] I put a price on the pause, now the silence pays rent Got a pen with a grudge and a page full of intent You talk big in the room, then your volume gets shy I make a claim so clean even doubt walks by My luck wears work boots, my plans wear a grin I turn a loss to a lesson, then I invoice the win You brought a whole parade, I brought one sharp line Now your headline's in the footnote underneath mine [Chorus] Big talk, small print, read it out loud I walk in plain, leave the room too proud Quick wit, cold nerve, pocket full of proof Say my name once—then make some room [Verse 2] I got receipts for the shade that you threw last week Filed alphabetically under “things I don't keep” My ego's on a leash, but the leash got slack I make a U-turn look like a victory lap No crown, no cape, just a coat with a crease Still I talk like the rent's due and the rent's deceased You swing for the fence, I redraw the whole field Then I sell you the chalk and the terms of the deal [Chorus] Big talk, small print, read it out loud I walk in plain, leave the room too proud Quick wit, cold nerve, pocket full of proof Say my name once—then make some room [Outro] Check the fit, check the math I came in laughing, left with the map
