[singer A] Don’t let them drag you out of rest... They made you think that joy was rented... That love disappears if you stop performing... But you knew better. You always knew. [transition] [singer B] **[Verse 1]** *(Kick drum enters, steady four-on-the-floor heartbeat)* They tried to write me in a language I don’t speak Call it hunger, call it grind, call it incomplete Had me running circles just to stand in place Chasing validation in a rigged-up race Full pantry, but they teach you how to fear Full life, but they whisper something’s missing here Sell you fences like they’re freedom in disguise Monetizing distance in a neighbor's eyes [transition] [singer A] **[Pre-Chorus]** *(Snare roll building, rising saw-synth)* Now they ask me why I’m not dancing on queue Wondering why my peace feels like an insurgency to you I see the trap, I see the frame you built I’m done moving for manufactured guilt **[Chorus / Drop 1]** *(Explosive bass drop, driving synth lead)* Fuck your cheap shots So much wasted energy Trying to stop me from where I can go You can’t play the long game with grease alone Get the hell outta here **[Post-Chorus]** *(Vocal chop over driving bassline)* *(Long game... long game...)* You can’t play the long game. [transition] [singer B] **[Verse 2]** *(Stripped back beat, dark synth arpeggios)* They preach love, but they weaponize the word Build a stage, never listen, never serve Skip the truth and twist it how they please Turning raw compassion into currency Modern moats dressed up divine I won't shrink to fit your line I’m done playing... I’m done playing. **[Pre-Chorus]** *(Hi-hats pick up, rising tension)* So go on and ask why I’m not dancing on queue Wonder why my rest feels like an insurgency to you I see the trap, I see the frame you built I’m done moving for manufactured guilt **[Chorus / Drop 2]** *(Full impact drop)* Fuck your cheap shots So much wasted energy Trying to stop me from where I can go You can’t play the long game with grease alone Get the hell outta here [instrumental] [singer A] **[Breakdown]** *(Drums drop out completely; ambient keys, vocal echo)* Joy was never something I had to earn. Love was never fragile. Even when it cost me everything... I knew. I always knew. **[Build]** *(Snare crescendo, rising filter sweep, vocal stacking)* Let them watch, let them wonder Why I don’t move like they do Peace becomes rebellion When you finally see through— *Three, two, one—* [singer B] **[Final Chorus / Main Drop]** *(Maximum energy, layered vocal hook, soaring synth)* Fuck your cheap shots So much wasted energy Trying to stop me from where I can go You can’t play the long game with grease alone Get the hell outta here **[Outro]** *(Bassline gradually filters out, atmospheric ambient pads remain)* *(Long game... long game...)* They couldn't carry it. They never could. *(Fade to quiet)*
