Low Expectations (Dead Ducks)

[Intro – amused, dry] Yeah… Set the bar low. Real low. [Hook – smooth, sarcastic] Low expectations, I been livin’ there They didn’t see much, I didn’t care Chart went down, still sittin’ here Low expectations, atmosphere Low expectations, room to breathe They called it dead, that’s fine with me When you expect nothin’, you move that free Low expectations, watch and see [Verse 1 – degen narration] Bought the dip, bought the top Bought the lie, still didn’t stop Watched timelines do a full 180 Same voices now sayin’ “I always thought” They said “bro, just be realistic” I said “cool,” then went ballistic Held bags longer than friendships Learned patience in the worst conditions I don’t post wins, I post memes Laugh through pain like it’s routine If this is dumb, I’m committed Been wrong before, still undefeated [Hook] Low expectations, I been livin’ there Red candles glowin’, same old stare No promises, no prayer Low expectations, deadpan glare Low expectations, still intact They laughed first, remember that When the bar’s low, the lane stay clear Low expectations, we still here [Verse 2 – Dead Ducks coded] Dead Zone mindset, eyes half-open Seen too much hype to be outspoken They need hope, I need proof Still standin’ when the smoke get potent Same flock, still logged in Same jokes, still locked in They chase trends, we chase timing That’s how you last in this environment They keep askin’ “what’s the utility?” I say “patience and immunity” If survival a skill, we maxed it out Dead Ducks major in continuity [Bridge – half-spoken, snarky] Funny thing about being written off… Nobody watches you get dangerous. [Final Hook – confident, sly] Low expectations, still standin’ tall Didn’t need much to outlast y’all While they wait for a miracle call We been calm through the crash and fall Low expectations, nothing to prove Dead Ducks still smooth, still rude If you thought we wouldn’t make a move Low expectations fooled you [Outro – relaxed] Yeah… Bar still low. We good.
