[Intro] Yeah Right here in the background Right here in the cut Listen [Verse 1] I live in the shadow of the main character Cool in the corner, steady, moving like a manager They chasing every spotlight, begging for a camera I just watch the plot twist, see the bigger parameter They flex for the credits, I’m calm in the chaos They scroll through approval, I log out and stay off You run for the stage I run the whole stage layout [Pre-Chorus] You want the lead role I want the last say You want the close-up I’m fine off frame You need applause I need my peace You need the crown I need release [Chorus] I’m the shadow of the main character Right place, I don’t need your aperture Stand back, but I pull the strings Quiet mind, but I make it ring I’m the shadow of the main character On my own side, I don’t need a narrator In the back row, still I call the play I don’t need to prove a thing today [Verse 2] They sprint for the front, I stroll through the side door You scream every line, I talk then it hits more You measure your worth in numbers and noise I measure my wins in silence and poise You post every second for random believers I live every second, not feeding the meter I’m good where I’m at You keep chasing the feature [Pre-Chorus] You want the lead role I want the long run You want the trailer I want the outcome You need the cheers I need the truth You want the flash I want the proof [Chorus] I’m the shadow of the main character Right place, I don’t need your aperture Stand back, but I pull the strings Quiet mind, but I make it ring I’m the shadow of the main character On my own side, I don’t need a narrator In the back row, still I call the play I don’t need to prove a thing today [Bridge] [low vocal register] Let ’em talk, let ’em chase that frame I’m off-script, I don’t play that game [shouted gang vocals] No rush, no race, my lane, my pace If they forget my name I’m still okay [Chorus]

rap, Hybrid rap-rock-pop with male vocals, halftime groove. Tight distorted guitars under the verses, 808-weighted low end, and crisp trap hats. Pre-chorus pulls instruments back to palm-muted chugs and distant vocal echoes; chorus explodes with layered gang chants, bright synth top line, and big live drums. Vocal delivery switches between laid-back, behind-the-beat rap and melodic, almost shouted hooks for a defiant, anthemic feel., rock, pop
