Cubic Aspirations

[Verse]
You traded diamonds for that shiny glass
Thought you'd dazzle but you're losing class
Chasing shortcuts like a sprinter slow
Bronze medal dreams where gold used to glow
[Verse 2]
You want the spotlight but you hate the grind
Taking handouts while I'm last in line
I’m climbing mountains while you hang by strings
No crown for queens who pawn their rings
[Chorus]
I make it out while you stay behind
Building my castle brick at a time
No shortcuts here no borrowed fame
I'll carve my path while you play the game
[Verse 3]
Your billionaire dreams with your couch throne
Counting on others while I stand alone
I work my hands till they’re blistered and red
While you're dreaming big in a borrowed bed
[Chorus]
I make it out while you stay behind
Building my castle brick at a time
No shortcuts here no borrowed fame
I'll carve my path while you play the game
[Bridge]
Keep your zirconia your fake bronze glow
I’ll take the fire that refuses to slow
Every stumble every scrape and bruise
Beats a throne built on excuses you choose

sassy, pop
