Jealousy, Jealousy

rap, Fast emotional trap banger with female vocals; intro is dry spoken-word, no beat, almost ASMR-close, Then a sparse, moody piano sample and distant pads creep in, followed by sharp hi-hats and a building 808 pattern, Chorus hits with double-time drums and layered harmonies, ad-libs tucked around the main melody, Energy ramps from confessional to frantic, then drops out briefly before the final rush, emotional, slow, sad, female vocals

[Verse 1]
Slow walk past the mirror
Turn sideways, hold my breath
Pick myself apart like
I’m the enemy instead
All these pretty faces
On my screen, in my head
Every little like they get
Feels like proof I’m less

Why she glow, I’m in the shadows
Why she win, I’m keeping tally
Why her world look like a movie
While I’m stuck inside this alley

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why I’m checking what she wears
Zooming in on details, it’s unfair
I don’t even know her, still I care
Way too much, way too much

[Chorus]
Jealousy, jealousy
Got a hold on me (hold on me)
Turning love into a war
With the girl inside of me
Jealousy, jealousy
Why you in my teeth? (why you bite?)
Every compliment I see
Feels like it’s cutting into me

Jealousy, jealousy
Make it hard to breathe
Wish that I could let her win
Without it meaning I’m less than
Jealousy, jealousy
Won’t you let me be
I’m so tired of being cruel
To the only one that’s me

[Verse 2]
Now the pace picking up
Heart race, can’t keep up (yeah)
Double-tap another pic
Feel that sting inside my gut
See her at the party
Laugh loud, everybody look
I pretend I don’t care
But my chest already shook

Counting every difference like receipts
Compare my body to some stranger in the feed
Why her waist like glass, why my skin break out
Why my voice go small when my thoughts too loud

[Pre-Chorus]
All this side-eye at myself, it’s sick
Every girl I meet, I turn into a script
She the lead role, I’m the cut scene, quick
Fade to black, fade to black

[Bridge]
[Beat drops to half-time, vocal almost whispered]
She don’t even know my name
Still I put her in the frame
Circle all the ways I lose
Like it proves I’m built for pain

[Beat snaps back, double-time flow]
But if I talk to that girl
Bet she hate herself too
Two of us in the dark
Thinking we the only fools

[soft, almost spoken]
So I’ll try to clap for her
While I’m learning how to stay
On my side, in my skin
Even when it shakes

Jealousy, jealousy
Let me finally breathe
I’m done tearing myself down
For a stranger on a screen
Jealousy, jealousy
You don’t speak for me
I’m still scared, I’m still soft
But I’m choosing to be me (yeah)

[Intro] I see her on my phone again Perfect hair Perfect laugh Perfect life At least that’s what it looks like And I hate that I care this much I hate that I keep counting everything I’m not ’Cause every time I scroll I feel smaller And smaller And smaller [Verse 1] Slow walk past the mirror Turn sideways, hold my breath Pick myself apart like I’m the enemy instead All these pretty faces On my screen, in my head Every little like they get Feels like proof I’m less Why she glow, I’m in the shadows Why she win, I’m keeping tally Why her world look like a movie While I’m stuck inside this alley [Pre-Chorus] Tell me why I’m checking what she wears Zooming in on details, it’s unfair I don’t even know her, still I care Way too much, way too much [Chorus] Jealousy, jealousy Got a hold on me (hold on me) Turning love into a war With the girl inside of me Jealousy, jealousy Why you in my teeth?
