[Verse 1] I walk in clean, coat pressed sharp, big idea, bigger heart— Actually, scratch that last part. I’ve got plans in twelve dimensions, perfect lines and bad intentions, every switch has my attention, every failure gets correction. You call me strange, I call it taste. You call it evil, what a waste. Labels, labels, so dramatic. I prefer— visionary. [Mini Hook] I think fast. I build faster. You make problems. I make disasters. [Verse 2] You’re quick. Congratulations. Should I clap? Should I cheer? Should I knit you a tiny medal for your little career? Meanwhile— I’ve got engines in the basement, drones above the entertainment, half the city’s ventilation probably needs my authorization. You run circles. Very cute. I make circles around the truth. [Pre-Chorus] And everybody says, “Maybe stop.” Why? I’m having fun. Everybody says, “You’ve gone too far.” I haven’t even begun. [Chorus] I make trouble look good, make impossible behave. Turn a bad idea brilliant with a button and a wave. If the whole world says no, I hear, “Try a little more.” You can lock every window, I’m coming through the floor. Call it ego, call it pride, call me anything you like— just spell it right. [Post-Chorus] Doctor. There’s a title. Use it. [Verse 3] I tried patience. Hated it. Tried mercy. Overrated. Tried teamwork once. Never again. Too many opinions. Not enough me. [Breakdown] And then there’s you. Blue. Loud. Fast. Smug. Running around like physics personally invited you. Do you know how insulting that is? I studied physics. [Beat Returns] So run faster. Go on. Give me something worth building for. [Pre-Chorus 2] Every crash is information. Every loss is renovation. Every “no” is motivation. Every hero— needs opposition. You’re welcome. [Chorus] I make trouble look good, make impossible behave. Turn a bad idea brilliant with a button and a wave. If the whole world says no, I hear, “Try a little more.” You can lock every window, I’m coming through the floor. Call it ego, call it pride, call me anything you like— just spell it right. [Bridge — Starts Smooth] You think this is obsession? No. Obsession is unhealthy. This— is commitment. There’s a difference. A very important, scientifically measurable— [Sudden Explosion] YOU BROKE ANOTHER ONE?! ... Okay. Fine. Perfectly fine. I have backups. I have backups for the backups. I have a backup for the sentence “I have backups.” [Music Builds] You knock me down, I redesign. You ruin one, I build nine. You take the win, I take notes. You get applause, I get prototypes. So keep running. Seriously. You’re helping. [Final Chorus] I make trouble look good, make a breakdown look divine. Every failure gets a makeover, every loss becomes design. If the whole world says stop, I say, “Move, you’re blocking the door.” You can beat me today— I’ll be stranger tomorrow. Call it ego, call it pride, call me anything you like— I’ll still be here. Still brilliant. Still dangerous. Still right. [Outro] Well. Mostly right. ... No. Completely right.
