Funny how it works

Funny how it works…

Yeah… funny how it works

⸻

Funny how the loud ones talk the least

Funny how the broke ones flex the most

Funny how they smile in your face

Then switch up when you need them close

Funny how the truth gets twisted quick

If it don’t fit what they believe

Funny how they judge the way you live

While hiding everything they keep

I’ve seen people sell their soul for less

Just to feel a little seen

Trade a little peace of mind

For a version of a dream

It’s all a game, just different rules

Depending who you try to be

And everybody’s playing parts

But no one really feeling free

⸻

Funny how it works

Funny how it goes

Everybody wants the crown

Nobody wants the lows

Funny how it looks

From the outside view

But it ain’t so funny

When it’s happening to you

⸻

Funny how attention is a drug

And everybody wants a hit

Scroll a little, lose yourself

Tryna feel a part of it

Funny how we measure self-worth

By numbers on a screen

Like a double tap defines

What we’re worth or what we mean

I’ve seen people change their voice

Just to match what’s getting played

Lose themselves in trends

Just to not feel out of place

It’s a cycle, it repeats

But nobody wants to say

That we’re all just chasing something

That keeps slipping anyway

⸻

Funny how it works

Funny how it goes

Everybody wants the crown

Nobody wants the lows

Funny how it looks

From the outside view

But it ain’t so funny

When it’s happening to you

⸻

(slower, spoken)

You ever notice…

It’s always “one day”…

But that day never comes

⸻

Funny how we act like we got time

Like it’s something we can spend

Like it’s always coming back

Like it’s never gonna end

Funny how we chase what we don’t need

While ignoring what we got

Lose ourselves in everything

Then forget what we forgot

⸻

Funny how it works

Funny how it goes

Everybody wants the crown

Nobody wants the lows

Funny how it looks

From the outside view

But it ain’t so funny

When it’s happening to you

⸻

Funny how it works…
