(Crescendo) Intro (spoken, dry as hell) Yeah… Funny how bein’ a good person Now just means you’re a fuckin’ idiot. (Chord Progression start of Harmony) [Verse 1 (fast, pissed, controlled)] Nice guys finish last, that’s the headline shit Smile too much, now I’m “up to somethin’,” legit? Hold a door, hold morals, hold my ground They like “what’s the catch?”—calm the fuck down World so fucked it don’t trust a straight face If you ain’t a snake, you must be fake I don’t sell fake pain just to harvest likes Don’t act deranged just to feel alive Honesty don’t trend, it just sinks and dies While loud-ass assholes monetize lies I say “I care,” they say “yeah, for now” Like empathy’s a fuckin’ scam somehow [Hook 1 (bouncy, sarcastic, sticky)] Nice guys last, yeah we already know Say somethin’ real, they say “what’s the con, though?” Smile too clean, must be runnin’ a play World so fucked think straight is fake [(drag “fake” )] [Verse 2 (denser, sharper)] If you don’t cheat, you’re naïve as fuck If you don’t lie, you ain’t tough enough If you don’t crush every soul you meet Then you’re “too soft” to compete I don’t ghost, don’t gaslight, don’t manipulate So I’m “boring,” “too safe,” “outta date” Meanwhile chaos gets praised as passion Toxic’s just confidence with better fuckin’ branding They project every sin they commit ‘Cause if they’re crooked, I must be counterfeit Yeah I’m mad -- but I’m sane with it Not unhinged, just done with the stupidest shit [Chorus /Hook 2 (deadpan, minimal)] Be nice? Nah, that’s suspicious Be real? Now you’re fictitious If you don’t hurt, you don’t win Guess I lose for not bein’ a dick like them (beat cuts, silence hits) [Bridge (sarcastic spiral, Add dynamic lift)] Maybe I should lie more Fuck morals, fuck pride Maybe step on every neck Just to feel “qualified” Maybe numb it all down Call it growth, call it grit ‘Cause the truth don’t sell And the real don’t hit [Chorus / Hook 3 (raw, call and response)] (Call) Nice guys- (Response) last. place. (Call) Kind hearts- (Response) waste. case. (Call) Tell the truth- (Response) fake. as. fuck. (Call) That’s the world- (Response) it’s. Wild. [Chorus (cold, resolved, calm)] Nah, I ain’t bitter- I’m awake In a time where bein’ human’s a mistake I’d rather lose clean than win that way Keep your crown made of shit— I’m straight Let ‘em doubt, let ‘em talk, let ‘em cope I ain’t fake just ‘cause I still got hope If bein’ kind makes me last in the race (Refrain) Cool, cool, cool— I’ll take last with my spine in place [Chorus / Hook 4 (raw, call and response)] (Call) Nice guys- (Response) last. place. (Call) Kind hearts- (Response) waste. case. (Call) Tell the truth- (Response) fake. as. fuck. (Call) That’s the world- (Response) it’s. Wild. [Final chorus (cold, resolved, calm)] Nah, I ain’t bitter- I’m awake In a time where bein’ human’s a mistake I’d rather lose clean than win that way Keep your crown made of shit— I’m straight Let ‘em doubt, let ‘em talk, let ‘em cope I ain’t fake just ‘cause I still got hope If bein’ kind makes me last in the race (Refrain) Cool, cool, cool— I’ll take last with my spine in place [Final outro / Final Hook (fused, explosive)] Nice guys last, yeah we already know Be nice? Nah— what’s the fuckin’ con, though? Be real? Now I’m fictitious Guess I lose for not bein’ vicious (echo, beat cuts, loop, repeat hook 1, 2, 3)
