Verse 1: Life’s a tightrope, walkin’ with a crack in the line, Everybody’s playin’ roles, wearin’ masks to the blind, They smile in your face, but the knife’s in the spine, I’m seein’ through the lies, every word’s a design. The 1% sittin’ in their castles of gold, While we out here hustlin’, tryna break from the cold, They buy the politicians, got the system controlled, We just numbers in a game, hearts bought and sold. People talk real, but they actions say less, They flex for the ‘Gram, but they drown in the stress, Fake friends in the mix, only show when it’s blessed, Disappear when you fall, when you broke or depressed. Life’s a game, but they rigged it from the start, People fake, play their part, hide the truth in the dark, The 1% laugh while they break us apart, But I rise from the ashes, got fire in my heart. Verse 2: They livin’ in mansions, we fightin' for rent, We clock in, clock out, while they countin’ the cents, Every dollar that we make, it’s a deal with the debt, They stack wealth on the backs of the poor they forget. Fake smiles in the office, they tryna climb high, Sellin’ out their souls just to live the lie, But I see through the smoke, watch the truth pass by, They stuck in the illusion while I aim for the sky. The rich own the ladder, we just stuck at the base, But I ain't tryna beg ‘em for a seat in their space, We buildin’ our own, not a rat in their race, While they feast on the power, I’m savin' my grace. Life’s a game, but they rigged it from the start, People fake, play their part, hide the truth in the dark, The 1% laugh while they break us apart, But I rise from the ashes, got fire in my heart. Verse 3: I see through the glitz, all the chains and the fame, They postin’ highlights, but inside it’s the same, The rich get richer, leavin’ us in the flames, But I’m breakin’ the cycle, refusin' the game. People front like they real, but they fold under pressure, Chasin’ all the trends, thinkin’ that’s how they measure, The 1% watch, tryna tighten the tether, But I’m livin’ off the grid, freein' up every pleasure. A system built to fail us, but we learn to survive, Through the fakes and the frauds, still I manage to thrive, Got my own foundation, keep the fire alive, And one day, we’ll see the walls crumble and dive. Life’s a game, but they rigged it from the start, People fake, play their part, hide the truth in the dark, The 1% laugh while they break us apart, But I rise from the ashes, got fire in my heart. In a world full of fakes, I’m stayin' true to my lane, They can play all their games, but I won’t wear the chains, The 1% reign, but we breakin' their frame, This is life in the struggle, but I’m still in the game.
