[Intro]
You ain’t believe in me, huh
You ain’t stand with me, huh
Now every rumor that you whispered
Got an anthem and a feature (yeah)
[Verse 1]
You left me on read in the group chat
Plans in the thread, I was cut out
High fives over my dead name
While you plotted out the next route
I was eatin’ cheap rice at my desk
You were takin’ cheap shots at my chest
Funny how the quiet one you stepped on
Turned into the storm you can’t outrun
You said, “It’s business, don’t take it to heart”
But you carved up my name, tried to tear me apart
Buried me shallow, I clawed through the dirt
Came back with the facts and a hunger that hurts (yeah)
[Chorus]
So now I’m the villain in your huddle
Black hoodie in your highlight reel
You turned my name into trouble
’Til my scars learned how power feels
You wrote me off, then wrote a story
Painted halos on your fear
But your clean hands look so gory
When the truth drips crystal clear
I’m the villain in your huddle
But I’m stronger every year
[Verse 2]
You:
You called it “teamwork” when you froze me out
Smiled in my face, then you sold me out
Signed my ideas with your own cheap pen
Then locked the door, never let me back in
Me:
You laughed at the crack when my voice would shake
Now that same cracked voice make the whole room quake (woah)
You tried to keep me quiet for your comfort’s sake
Now I speak and your fragile little mirrors break
You:
They said I changed, like I’m cold, like I’m bitter
Like I should be proud I made you all richer
You built ladders on my spine, broke ribs for your climb
Now you scared ’cause I finally stopped forgiving the crime
Both:
You wanna call me toxic ‘cause I cut you loose
Funny how the healed one is the one you accuse
If I’m the monster that your bedtime needs
Remember every knife was a planted seed (yeah)
[Chorus]
So now I’m the villain in your huddle
Black hoodie in your highlight reel
You turned my name into trouble
’Til my scars learned how power feels
You wrote me off, then wrote a story
Painted halos on your fear
But your clean hands look so gory
When the truth drips crystal clear
I’m the villain in your huddle
But I’m stronger every year
[Bridge]
Tell it how you need to
Make me into shadow
Just remember who believed you
When the room was hollow
You can keep your bedtime version
I’ll keep every sleepless night
You get comfort, I get closure
You get fear, I get my life (yeah)
[Chorus]
So now I’m the villain in your huddle
Black hoodie in your highlight reel
You turned my name into trouble
’Til my scars learned how power feels
You wrote me off, then wrote a story
Painted halos on your fear
But your clean hands look so gory
When the truth drips crystal clear
I’m the villain in your huddle
And I’m still here
I’m the villain in your huddle
Stronger every single year (oh)
