The Joneses

THE JONESES “Who even are they?” ⸻ [Intro] Who are the “Joneses” anyway? You been chasin’ ghosts, Flexin’ for people you don’t even like, Buyin’ dreams you can’t afford, All for clout… And now you broke… inside. ⸻ [Verse 1] You got a Benz in the driveway, debt in your soul, New grill, no meal, still playin’ the role. Posting your life like it’s lit and clean, But you rent that drip and you lease that dream. You smile online while your spirit’s stressed, Chasin’ likes while you drown in mess. Tryna impress folks you barely know, Meanwhile your real life movin’ slow. You swipe that card like it ain’t real cash, But you panic every time your phone say “low balance.” You don’t need a mansion, you need a mirror, You don’t need applause, you need a cleara— conscience. ⸻ [Chorus] Keepin’ up with the Joneses, but who even are they? You broke for the gram, while they sleep in the valet. Got chains on your neck, but nothin’ to say, You rich in attention, but poor every day. Chasin’ shadows in designer threads, Dyin’ for clout while your dreams stay dead. You wanna look rich, that’s your goal? But the Joneses don’t know you — they outta control. ⸻ [Verse 2] You bought a new phone, still can’t call peace, New kicks, same pain, it don’t ever cease. You front row at shows, back row in growth, ‘Cause style over substance? That’s your oath. Spendin’ stacks to fit a mold, Feelin’ empty, still actin’ bold. New watch, no time, just flex and spin, But success ain’t loud—it’s built within. Legacy ain’t built from labels or brands, It’s built in the dark with calloused hands. You could glow up if you grow up, But you too busy tryna show up. ⸻ [Bridge] You’re in a race with nobody else, You wear gold but can’t stand yourself… They told you fake it till you make it, But now you fake it and can’t shake it… ⸻ [Final Chorus] Keepin’ up with the Joneses, but they just pretend, Buyin’ peace they don’t own just to flex for a friend. Got cars, got chains, but can’t pay rent, You livin’ for the feed but your soul’s been spent. High class posts, low self-esteem, Spendin’ to the rhythm of a broken dream. You wanna look rich, that’s your goal? But the Joneses don’t care — they just playin’ a role. ⸻ [Outro] Stop chasin’ ghosts in Gucci frames… Success don’t scream, it builds… Quiet. Consistent. The Joneses? They’re broke too… They just dress it better. [Instrumental] (Hard Beat, Rhythm Fades) (Music Drops)
