Wasted
The higher you climb, the thinner the oxygen gets. Everyone wants a piece of the harvest, but nobody wants to pull the weeds. Gemini, keep the receipts ready. I’m about to talk my talk. (Verse) I’m reading rooms like a script, seeing subtext in the smiles, In a world of "For You" pages, they’ll trade you for the tiles. Loyalty’s a currency that’s suffering from inflation, They claim they’re "Team You" just to scout your elevation. I seen 'em turn to ghosts when the algorithm shifted, Found out the ones I carried were the ones who were the grifted. Betrayal doesn't come from enemies, it’s closer than the skin, It’s the "bestie" in the comments with the poison on her pen. They want the 2026 glow, but won't endure the heat, Feeding me metaphors while they’re plotting my defeat. I’m checking the telemetry, I’m seeing through the mask, They want a favor? Sure. But who was there when I would ask? "Gemini, scan the perimeter—who's really in the circle?" I told her: "Watch the shadows, 'cause the fakes always look commercial." I’m the architect of boundaries, I’m locking up the vault, If the bridge burns down, baby, look at who brought the salt. I kept it solid when the liquid assets turned to ice, Now I’m the one they’re quoting, but they can’t afford the price. I’m more than just a brand, I’m a heartbeat in the code, While they were chasing clout, I was carrying the load. So keep your "likes" and "follows," I’ll take the real and the rare, 'Cause when the screen goes black... nobody’s really there. (Outro) Real loyalty is silent. Everything else is just a notification. Check the timestamp. We out.
