[Verse 1] You came in loud, left light. All talk, thin ice. I read the angle, saw the flaw, you fold when the pressure bites. S.J., that suit don't fit. Custom-made? That cap don't stick. You chase a myth with a rented grin, I lace the bar, you trip on it. Old mistakes, I own mine. You hide yours in a choke-line. I turned my mess into a blade, you turned a flex into a false line. Palm to the mic, I paint the frame, you shake when the room get warm. Your whole set sound like borrowed drums and a promise made in a storm. [Pre-Chorus] And I know that look in your eye, you want the crown, but not the climb. I keep it sharp, I keep it live, you keep on reaching, missing time. [Chorus] S.J., say it again. You don't move me, you just pretend. S.J., play tough, play brave. I break that mask, I split that wave. S.J., talk that talk. Then get quiet when the wrong one walks. S.J., one more try. I make your whole damn motive die. [Verse 2] Now the grin got cracks in it. Your big words got gaps in it. You sold the room a polished lie, but the truth got teeth and it snapped at it. I don't need luck, I need beats. You need someone to patch your weak. I stack the stress in a triple-time knot, you get lost in your own receipts. You say "legend," I say "loan." You say "king," but you're overthrown. All that smoke in your trembling chest just means the fire never made it home. I pivot clean, then I cut again. New pocket, same bruise, new pen. You run your mouth like a broken train, I pull up calm and I close that end. [Pre-Chorus] And I know that look in your eye, you want the crown, but not the climb. I keep it sharp, I keep it live, you keep on reaching, missing time. [Chorus] S.J., say it again. You don't move me, you just pretend. S.J., play tough, play brave. I break that mask, I split that wave. S.J., talk that talk. Then get quiet when the wrong one walks. S.J., one more try. I make your whole damn motive die. [Bridge] [Half-time shift] Now sing it low, don't force the tone. You built a throne out of chipped-up bone. I took the heat, I took the blame, came back mean with a cleaner name. You hear that pull? That change? That grind? That’s the part you could never design. I bend the phrase, I twist the line, then leave your whole little act behind. [Final Chorus] S.J., say it again. You don't move me, you just pretend. S.J., play tough, play brave. I break that mask, I split that wave. S.J., talk that talk. Then get quiet when the wrong one walks. S.J., one more try. I make your whole damn motive die.
