im a square

Yeah. They love to paint me as the villain. Put the target on my back, adjust the lighting. Fine. Let’s give 'em the show they’re paying for. Look. (Verse 1) They want a monster, so I put the mask on Heavy is the crown but I keep the gas on Started as a shadow, now I’m what they blast on Every single rumor that they tried to pass on I became the threat because I wouldn’t compromise Saw through the fake handshakes and the hollow eyes Funny how the tables turn, watch the drama rise Now they gotta look up just to evaluate my size I’m the friction in the system, the wrench in the machine The coldest competitor that you have ever seen They want me to lose it, they want me to scream But I’m collecting royalties while living out the dream. (Chorus) If being real makes me the enemy, then sign the papers Shoutout to the critics and the under-the-table haters You wanted a villain? Well, welcome to the final boss Count up my victories while you calculate your loss Yeah, I’m the enemy, the one you love to blame But you can't talk about the industry without mentioning my name. (Verse 2) They talk behind closed doors, whispering a plot Trying to erase the legacy, pretending that I'm not The blueprint, the baseline, the one who set the pace Now they’re running scared trying to clear me out the space But I’m a fixture, rooted deep, you cannot move the anchor Every piece of hate just fills the fuel tank up Go ahead and twist the narrative, tell 'em that I'm ruthless Leaving every single opposition silent and toothless I don't need a circle when the square is built this tight I shine a direct beam, blinding in the night So point the finger, make me the danger in the zone The enemy is comfortable sitting on the throne. (Chorus) If being real makes me the enemy, then sign the papers Shoutout to the critics and the under-the-table haters You wanted a villain? Well, welcome to the final boss Count up my victories while you calculate your loss Yeah, I’m the enemy, the one you love to blame But you can't talk about the industry without mentioning my name. (Outro) Keep that same energy. When the curtains fall and the lights go down. You need people like me. The enemy. The one who keeps it honest. Yeah. Fade it out.
