[Intro – Low piano, muted trumpet, soft snaps] Yeah… Two sides to every legend… Let’s talk about it. 🎙 Verse 1 (Cool, smoky delivery – smooth jazz flow) Drinks in my glass turned me to a superhero, Pressure on my name made me feel like De Niro. Climbed from the bottom, now the city know the sound, Every time I switch the flow, I’m the one they write about. Fly like a parachute, chill but I’m armed, Oil in my veins just to keep me calm. Candy in the cup—yeah, I gotta get paid, Came from the streets, young king, self-made. Crowd gets loud, but I take it to the grave, Never ran from the storm, I just surfed every wave. Shoutout to the stars that believed in the start, If you make it out the jungle, better learn to go to war. Ice on your wrist, but the world stays cold, Tennis chains freeze ‘til the story unfolds. Links up the neck, heavy thoughts in my mind, When you step with this aura—better step in time. 🎺 Pre-Chorus (Swing builds tension) Two-dollar dream, but I turned it to a throne, Stackin' all these hundreds like coupons, full grown. Upper echelon from the day I began, Now the money multiply—call it part of the plan. 🎵 Chorus (Smooth + dramatic jazz chords) Dark Knight feelin’—die and be a hero, Or live long enough to see yourself turn villain. As soon as you rise, they try to pull you down, Weight of the world, still I carry that crown. No cape on me—so I can’t save you now, They’d rather see me drown than let me wear the crown. And the world keeps spinnin’… Like I’m the only one in it… why? They don’t wanna see you winnin’… (No, no, no, no…) So who’s really the villain? Who’s the villain… yeah… 🎹 Verse 2 (Neo-soul jazz storytelling) Back on that grind, back on that flow, Switchin’ up lanes in that drop-top Rolls. Turbo the motor, bread by the loaf, Every move I make got ‘em watchin’ close. Sellin’ these stories like jazz in the night, Dice on the table, let the stakes take flight. I deserve awards just for survivin’ the boulders, A hundred grand drop just to lighten these shoulders. Fill up the garage, every dream that I chase, But no mask on—I show my real face. Ain’t no facade, ain’t no fugazi, Everything I built came from nights goin’ crazy. Hate in the shadows, fame in the light, Cartier shades just to block out the spite. When the smoke fills the air and the love turns thin, You learn real quick who’s enemy or friend. 🎺 Pre-Chorus (horn swell) Two-dollar half, yeah that’s the cheapest one, But I rose like the sun—now I’m too far gone. Started from the bottom just to sit at the top, When you finally get the crown, the envy don’t stop. 🎵 Chorus (Bolder, cinematic jazz energy) Dark Knight feelin’—die and be a hero, Or live long enough to see yourself turn villain. Soon as you up, they try to drag you down, Still hold the world while protectin’ the crown. No cape on me—so I can’t save you now, They’d rather see me drown than let me wear the crown. And the world keeps spinnin’… Feels like I’m the only one in it—why? They don’t wanna see you winnin’… (No, no, no, no…) Tell me… who’s really the villain? Who’s the villain… Who’s the villain? 🎷 Outro (soft sax, whispered) Live long enough… To see yourself… Become the villain. …or rewrite the story. (Fade with piano & sax)
