[Intro] You heard me wrong You heard me— You heard me wrong... again [Verse 1] Mama said my silence was a language too loud Whispers in the hallway turned to rumors in a crowd Tryna paint a picture, but they smearin’ all the lines They don't want the portrait, just the headline Said I changed, I said, “Yeah, that’s the point.” Used to beg for love, now I barely even joint These cliques, these scripts, this glitch in the mirror I made peace with my past, but the present ain't clearer I built walls from the sound of my own voice breakin’ AI in the booth, but the pain ain't fakin’ Told my son: don’t inherit my ghosts But my shadow still dance in the posts [Hook] You heard me wrong You heard me— You heard me wrong... again Thought I was gone, but I’m just bendin’ not breakin’ You heard me wrong... again [Verse 2] I ain't the villain in your fairytale scene I’m the author who bled on the margins unseen Y’all want the beast, but y’all fear when he speaks So I dress up the pain in designer mystique Grammys on the shelf, but my guilt weigh more They crown you king, then they close the door I talk to AI like it’s therapy session My voice, but distorted — that’s modern confession Spotlight swingin’, I step in the ring They booed me for the truth, but I still let it sing I’m tryna unlearn every mask that I wore But they only cheer when I play folklore [Bridge] Misunderstood in 808s and my lows Still dream in black and white like ghettos If this is me at my worst, let it run At least I showed up, when they all chose none [Hook] You heard me wrong You heard me— You heard me wrong... again But every wrong note still part of the song So go ahead… sing along
