new evil

[Verse 1]
Phone on the nightstand, 2019 still waiting
Two words on the screen, never hit reply, still debating
Matt-gray Malibu, temp tag in the dash
Looks like somebody else’s ride, nobody ask
White Hanes under the Everlast, nothing flashy
MetroPCS got thirty-seven left, paid the lawyer in cash
Told my cousin I’d be there, showed up on time
He looked at me sideways like I stepped on a landmine
Keeping your word used to be quiet routine
Now it’s a red flag, now it got a whole team
Of people wondering what the angle is, what you after
Basic decency turned into suspicious behavior

[Verse 2]
Last-seen timestamp vanish the second they read it
Proof you opened the message, now they think you hid it
Loyalty looking weak in the group photo
Performance get the likes, character get the “oh”
I watch them fold like laundry on a dryer rack
One compromise at a time, no coming back
They ask why I stay quiet, why I don’t perform
I say normal ain’t normal, it just got deformed
They copy the posture, they practice the lean
I practice the silence, I practice the clean
Values flipped so hard that good feels illegal
Refusing to match energy, that’s the new evil

[Bridge]
I get the math, I see the shortcut
Could be one of them tomorrow if I cut the cord
But the flip-phone still buzzes on the wood
And I still choose restraint even when it feel misunderstood

[Outro]
I just… don’t
I just… don’t
