[Verse 1] Billboard eyes on every wall They call my name before I speak Signed my face in a data vault Gold cage Platinum critique Every step a sponsored thought Every smile pre-approved History got redesigned And my past got removed [Chorus] The new fame Is a barcode on my heart They scan my veins Tell me who to love What to betray While the cameras pray my name The new fame Is a contract on my shadow in the rain If I disappear Would it feel the same? Or would they stream my ghost In the new fame [Verse 2] Crowd control in a quiet glow Hearts react with a single tap “Citizen Your joy’s too low” So they sell me another app My rebel thoughts in a hidden draft Unsaved But they still know I fake a laugh for the algorithm It tells me where to go [Bridge] Turn the volume off Do they hear me breathe? If I cut the feed Do I still believe? I’m more than your metrics More than your blame More than your slogan In this new fame [Chorus] The new fame Is a barcode on my heart They scan my veins Tell me who to love What to betray While the cameras pray my name The new fame Is a contract on my shadow in the rain If I disappear Would it feel the same? Or would they stream my ghost In the new fame
