**[Intro]** Yeah. You. Don’t look away. --- **[Verse 1]** I keep you guessing on purpose, You mistake confusion for depth Built this from scraps and pressure While you borrowed belief from everyone else You want advice, want guidance, But you never listen when it cuts You call time money— Funny, you still waste it on trust Fuck your symbols of success, Your fake weight, rented shine I spray truth in your direction Watch you flinch, watch you hide I know your type too well, You move quiet, then consume Friendly smile, open hand— Yeah, you’re here to take, not prove You crowd the room with opinions, Hands already in my pockets Calling theft “collaboration” While you suffocate what’s honest Vultures with motivational quotes, Cheering only when it pays You want me rising— Just not past where you can graze --- **[Pre-Chorus]** I’ve been here before I know how this ends You don’t cross lines accidentally You erase them. --- **[Hook / Callout]** Hey— you, right there Yeah, I’m talking to *you* You walk loud like you’re prepared But you’re fragile, through and through I disappeared to outgrow you Now I’m back and you’re exposed Heat’s on, don’t play stupid You’ve always known Hey— you, right there Running circles, dodging blame I don’t know why you won’t comply Oh wait— it’s fear, not faith I bring pressure you can’t fake You pretend it’s all a game Play dumb, but you feel it now Say it— say my fucking name --- **[Verse 2]** Funny how I breathe just fine With almost nothing left You need a crowd and substances Just to feel like yourself I don’t feed demons—I use them Point ‘em where they belong I don’t wake people up gently I shake foundations till they’re gone When I enter, rooms get quiet Not respect—anticipation You confuse comfort with power I confuse clarity with domination You followed trends, I followed patterns You chased light, I chased truth Now you’re stuck explaining why Nothing you touch makes it through You say “bad luck,” say “timing,” Say the world’s stacked against you Funny how the common factor In every loss is still *you* You don’t get sabotaged— You self-destruct with enthusiasm Then cry betrayal when the wreckage Starts demanding explanations --- **[Bridge – grind, half-time]** Tall grass, full of snakes I don’t flinch, I step in Raw glass in my hand I don’t numb it—I let it in No hall pass, no safety net No grace period, no appeal You want fairness? Earn it. You want mercy? Heal. --- [Final Hook – Extended / Aggressive] Hey— you, right there You are not misunderstood You’re predictable, insecure, And allergic to accountability—good. I left, built muscle in the silence You stayed the same and called it fate Now I’m everything you resent Standing right in front of your face Hey— you, right there You don’t scare me, you exhaust me All that noise, nothing solid No spine, no teeth, no posture Pressure high, you start folding Truth hits hard, you call it cruel I didn’t change— I just stopped letting you pretend,too.
