I smell smoke… I smell smoke Ain’t a fire yet, but I feel that poke Ain’t sayin’ guilty, ain’t sayin’ clean Just sayin’ this don’t look like what I’ve seen Boogie woogie woogie on the back of my brain That rhythm hits when somethin’ ain’t straight Could be nothin’, could be proof Boogie woogie woogie… that’s the sound of truth Verse 1 No prospectus, no clear lines Just big promises and perfect timing No filings, no paper trail Just trust the vibe, don’t ask details Founders talkin’ real smooth, real fast Future tense, but not much past I ain’t sayin’ scam, I ain’t sayin’ play Just feels like questions drift away Pre-Chorus Every time I ask “how,” they say “soon” Every time I ask “where,” they change the tune Could be early, could be new Or could be déjà vu Chorus Boogie woogie woogie in my chest That beat don’t lie when it won’t rest Ain’t accusin’, ain’t aloof Boogie woogie woogie… that’s the sound of truth Verse 2 I’ve seen projects rise on borrowed light Seen the same movie, different night Money moves before value grows That’s how the old refrain goes Vacations, cars, a flashy life While investors wait and justify Maybe success, maybe a show Hard to tell when the data’s low Bridge Hope says “stay,” instinct says “pause” Both sides pleadin’ their own cause Nothing won, nothing lost But ignorance always costs History whispers, patterns repeat Same old shoes on different feet Rinse and repeat, scene restored I’ve heard this verse, I know that chord Breakdown (Spoken / Half-Rap) I want this to win — I really do But belief ain’t proof, and proof ain’t due So I watch, I wait, I don’t accuse I just listen when the rhythm moves Final Chorus Boogie woogie woogie in the air That hum shows up when answers aren’t there Could be fear, could be youth Boogie woogie woogie… that’s the sound of truth Outro No verdict, no attack Just eyes open, no blind bet placed If it’s solid, time will prove If it’s not… I’ll trust that groove Boogie woogie woogie…
