[Pre chorus] [Break] [Tempo change] **[Cold Open – instant]** Yeah— I’m doing better. You’re not. Let’s keep it moving. --- **[Verse 1 – machine-gun]** I don’t give a fuck about people outside my radius Static in the distance, I don’t hear it, it’s hilarious Living my best life, no spectators, no alias You still tryna come up from behind me— that’s embarrassing You wish you were here but you don’t know where I’m at You chasing shadows, checking maps that I scrapped I don’t post locations, I don’t leave a track By the time you think you found me, I already lapped You play the victim like it’s currency, sad Still stuck at the bottom, calling that “down bad” Funny how they all expected me to fail— that’s cute, that’s rich, that’s a hell of a laugh --- **[Micro-Break – barked]** Still here. Still up. --- **[Verse 2 – faster, tighter]** I don’t argue online, I don’t trade opinions You live off reaction, I live off decisions You stuck in a loop, same grief, same villain I moved on clean, no witnesses, no forgiveness Degenerate, slimy, circling exits Trying to come up off proximity leverage You cling to my name like it’s oxygen heavy I don’t shake hands with people who envy You say I changed like it’s something new Nah—I just stopped explaining shit to you You stayed the same and called it “true” I leveled up and left the room --- [Tempo speeds up] **[Pre-Chorus – rapid, rising]** No response. No regret. No backslide. No debt. You talk loud— I progress. Different outcomes. Same test. --- [Tempo and cadence doubles] **[Verse 3 – Rap God sprint]** I’m ahead of the curve while you beg for relevance You measure success in likes and attendance I measure distance from nonsense and negligence Peace got expensive, I paid it in silence You looking for me in places I’ve outgrown I’m off-grid living better than you post You wanna be me but you hate that you can’t So you blame the world while you stay where you stand I don’t need closure, I don’t need revenge Your downfall’s boring, your cope is pretend You waited on my collapse like it was scheduled I didn’t fail—I just didn’t invite you --- **[Micro-Hook – chant-speed]** I’m doing better. You’re not. That’s it. --- **[Verse 4 – final push]** I don’t flex, I exist, that’s enough You talk shit ‘cause your life’s still rough You keep hoping I’ll slip, I won’t I adapt faster than you can cope You’re stuck playing Smash bros, I’m changing to Capcon 2 You still asking permission, I’m kicking the door You thought I’d burn out, fade, implode— I just got quieter and harder to know --- **[Outro – breathless, controlled]** Outside my radius. Out of my mind. Out of excuses. Out of time. *(beat cuts)*
