Chasing after golden promises that never align? It’s all a show, all a game, all a shallow facade But they sell it like salvation, almost like they’re some god I ain’t dealin’ with this hype, it’s all for the clicks They sell you dreams, but the seams barely hold with the stitch Is this the fault of the times, or the way we behave? Chasing validation, digging up the digital grave Greed breeds need to deceive and mislead It's all a hollow game for you All a hollow game for you Is this sickness the system, or simply your need How many pay the price for you Too many paid the price for you Every kid wants the crown, but who wants to lead? When the kings and the queens are just peddling greed Do we blame all the scammers, or the ones who subscribe? Feeding egos like a furnace till the flames won’t die Is this culture or commerce, who drew the line? When we’re taught to sell our souls for the spotlight to shine We’re the audience and actors in a cycle of sin Cheering frauds and their fraudulence, again and again We built this house of cards, now the winds won’t cease Sold our dreams to the highest bidder, bought the disease Do we change what we’re chasing, or change who we are? When the brightest stars burn out, are we left in the dark? Greed breeds need to deceive and mislead It's all a hollow game for you All a hollow game for you Is this sickness the system, or simply your need How many pay the price for you Too many paid the price for you They say, "Dream big, but don’t ask how it’s done" Climb higher, but the steps are made of someone The Algo preaches with an empty voice And the crowd keeps listening, as if there’s no choice Promises of gold, but the hands are cold It’s a story retold, and somehow never gets old Who are you when the lights go down? Do you smile, or do you drown? Can you face what you’ve become When the world stops watching, and the silence comes? We raised a generation where the mirror’s the shrine Taught to measure their worth in likes and online time Empathy’s a relic; compassion’s out of style We traded deeper connections for fleeting smiles The seeds were planted when we praised the loudest voice Rewarding arrogance, as if it’s the only choice Now it’s not about truth, it’s about who can sell We’ve monetized our dreams and called it "doing well" Ever wonder who profits when we fall in line? Trading purpose for vanity, one click at a time The culture we crafted rewards boldest lies While the honest fade away, unseen by the eyes But the cracks are showing; the facade won’t last A house built on ego will crumble as fast If we dare to unlearn, and see through the glare Maybe we’ll find there’s a real world waiting out there It’s not too late to rebuild, to rewrite the scene A life that’s not driven by envy or screens Let the mirrors shatter; let the truth be free The reflection’s not the answer it’s who we choose to be Greed breeds need to deceive and mislead It's all a hollow game for you All a hollow game for you Is this sickness the system, or simply your need How many pay the price for you Too many paid the price for you Greed breeds need to deceive and mislead There is sickness in the System for you to succeed for you to succeed.. to succeed...
