That Sounds like a Trap (Remix)

VERSE 1 (16 bars rap) Cheap talk, silver tongue, floatin’ on a golden scheme Clickbait dream where the sugar coats everything Big grin salesman, pixels drippin’ dopamine Algorithm whisperin’ I could be the chosen king Cartoon halo on a used car prophecy Lyin’ through its teeth wrapped up in honesty “Brother, you deserve it,” promise of a lifetime Buried in the small print, soul sold by the fine line Synthetic sunshine, false prophets with promo codes Influencer fortune teller sellin’ cracked roads “Manifest a miracle,” pocket my remaining hope Tug the marionette string tighter on the antidote If the price feels painless, then the cost ain’t shown If the light is blinding, there’s a shadow you don’t own Yeah the prize looks sweet, but the catch stays deep A million fake doors with a lion underneath CHORUS (8 bars — odd lines repeat, even lines rhyme) That sounds like a trap You say it’s easy, but the truth is missing That sounds like a trap Dress it up with glitter, but the core is fiction That sounds like a trap Sweet little melody of premonition That sounds like a trap Gold on the surface with a ghost ambition VERSE 2 (16 bars rap) Fairy tale pilot with a jetpack confidence Servin’ hollow guarantees packaged as common sense Voice made of velvet, heartbeat set to lullabies Pitching me a shortcut straight into the other side “Just believe harder, you’ll fly right through the ceiling” While the landing gear’s missing and the math ain’t healing Paradise on credit, no return once tethered Perfect paper future til the ink gets weathered Lotto ticket gospel on a hyperlinked sermon Selling paradise while the backend’s burning “Quick route to heaven,” only needs your patience Sign here, wait there, erase foundation Every puppet on the livestream soaked in praise Til the mask starts slippin’ and the star decays And every “next big savior” chasin’ your collapse If the bait tastes perfect better step right back CHORUS (repeat 8 bars) That sounds like a trap You say it’s easy, but the truth is missing That sounds like a trap Dress it up with glitter, but the core is fiction That sounds like a trap Sweet little melody of premonition That sounds like a trap Gold on the surface with a ghost ambition BRIDGE (8 bars — dreamy sung) Pretty promises are purchased in a fever dream Every serpent learns to sing just to stay unseen Every door to wonderland can come with broken locks Sweet illusions bloom the loudest right before they rot FINAL CHORUS (same as before — full power) That sounds like a trap You say it’s easy, but the truth is missing That sounds like a trap Dress it up with glitter, but the core is fiction That sounds like a trap Sweet little melody of premonition That sounds like a trap Gold on the surface with a ghost ambition
