[Intro] [Heavy Bassline] [Distorted Guitar Chugs] [Verse 1] [Rhythmic Spoken-Rap] Forced grin, stiff collar, step into the light Giving up your backbone just to dodge a fight Cold handshake, practiced posture, talking real polite Hiding all your teeth until you come to bite Put a cost on your word, put a discount on your name How much did it cost to jump straight into their game? [Pre-Chorus] [Building Tension] [Fast Delivery] Trading off your standing just to grab a seat Walking down a road where you admit defeat Smile for the room, act like nothing's wrong Singing every line to someone else's song [Chorus] [Explosive Screamed Vocals] [Heavy Low-End Riffs] Happy! Look at how you force it! Happy! Look at how you endorse it! Trading off your core just to fit the frame! Cashing out your dignity to play their game! Happy! Is that what you call it? [Verse 2] [Rhythmic Spoken-Rap] Bending sideways just to keep the status quo Glassy eyes behind the posture everywhere you go You trade away conviction just to get approval back Wearing down the spirit till you're off the track It isn't hate, it's a warning from a distance looking in You hollowed out the center just to score a little win [Pre-Chorus] [Building Tension] [Fast Delivery] Trading off your standing just to grab a seat Walking down a road where you admit defeat Smile for the room, act like nothing's wrong Singing every line to someone else's song [Chorus] [Explosive Screamed Vocals] [Heavy Low-End Riffs] Happy! Look at how you force it! Happy! Look at how you endorse it! Trading off your core just to fit the frame! Cashing out your dignity to play their game! Happy! Is that what you call it? [Breakdown] [Heavy Bass Drop] [Drop-Tuned Guitar Chugs] [Deep Guttural] Acting... Living off the act... When the room clears out, what's left of you? What's left of you? [Chorus] [Explosive Screamed Vocals] [Heavy Low-End Riffs] Happy! Look at how you force it! Happy! Look at how you endorse it! Trading off your core just to fit the frame! Cashing out your dignity to play their game! Happy! Is that what you call it? [Outro] [Fading Distortion] [Sub-Bass Pulse] Glassy smiles. Cost you everything. [Silence]
