Playing the Fool

[Verse 1]
Everybody’s loud, got something to prove,
Flexin’ hard like they invented the move.
I just lean back, watch the parade,
Playing the fool in the mask I’ve made.
They flash their crowns, but I see the cracks,
Chasing fame, but it don’t hold fast.
I keep my calm, I don’t play the scene,
There’s power in the quiet, in the in-between.

[Chorus]
Let ‘em talk smart, I’ll play dumb,
Smile on my face while I bite my tongue.
They’re running in circles, chasing a crown,
I’m not in the race, but I see who’s down.
Let ‘em boast, let ‘em spin,
I’ll play the fool and still win.

[Verse 2]
It ain’t weakness, it’s my disguise,
Truth lives deep in the quiet eyes.
While they’re busy talkin’, I build my line,
Brick by brick, steady climb.
They drown in noise, tryin’ to impress,
But I’ve found peace in doing less.
They think they’re kings on a shaky throne,
I rise steady, on my own.

[Chorus]
Let ‘em talk smart, I’ll play dumb,
Smile on my face while I bite my tongue.
They’re running in circles, chasing a crown,
I’m not in the race, but I see who’s down.
Let ‘em boast, let ‘em spin,
I’ll play the fool and still win.

[Bridge]
Loudest voices fade the fastest,
Quiet moves, yeah, they last the longest.
Joke’s on them, they don’t see the king,
The fool already knows everything.

[Chorus]
Let ‘em talk smart, I’ll play dumb,
Smile on my face while I bite my tongue.
They’re running in circles, chasing a crown,
I’m not in the race, but I see who’s down.
Let ‘em boast, let ‘em spin,
I’ll play the fool and still win.

[Outro]
Go ahead, call yourself the king,
I’ve got peace in the silence I bring.
Life’s a game, I don’t need to run,
I’m playing the fool… and having my fun.
