[Verse 1] You put a velvet rope around the door A little pink receipt says, “Pay once more” I know the trick, I know the game You sell the key, then charge for the name [Pre-Chorus] One more click, one more fee You don’t get to own the part of me [Chorus] Paywall princess, crown made of glass You guard the gate while the whole world walks past Paywall princess, count what you keep I’m taking back every word you tried to make me lease [Verse 2 - Rap] Fine print, bright grin, terms in a maze Monthly little tribute for the right to stay You rent me a mirror, then bill me to see A locked-room kingdom isn’t royalty I learned the password, I know the cost Your velvet empire runs on what we lost [Pre-Chorus] One more click, one more fee You don’t get to own the part of me [Chorus] Paywall princess, crown made of glass You guard the gate while the whole world walks past Paywall princess, count what you keep I’m taking back every word you tried to make me lease [Bridge - Spoken] Listen closely. A door is only powerful while we believe we need permission. Keep the crown. We’re leaving. [Final Chorus] Paywall princess, crown made of glass You guard the gate while the whole world walks past Paywall princess, the locks come undone We take our names, our voices, and we leave as one [Outro] No more rent on what we know No more asking where we go
