[Intro — Distorted]
Name in lights
Head down low
Everybody sees it
Last one to know
[Verse 1 — Fast Rap]
Black pen, backspace, scratch that credit
Built the whole sound, won’t fucking get it
Catch one drag in the playback—flag it
Track went gold? Must be bad mathematics
Microscopic mistakes get mapped
Every kick, every click, every breath gets trapped
While the blueprint bends every neck in the business
Still in the booth going, “Something is missing”
Set that bar, then stand beneath it
Call it average—no one believes it
Copycats trace every cadence and phrase
Then get praised for the waves that the first one made
[Pre-Chorus — Rising Scream]
The song broke out, went everywhere
Through concrete walls and dead-night air
Truth got through to everyone
Except the fucker it came from
[Chorus — Screamed]
LAST ONE TO KNOW!
FIRST NAME ON THE DOOR!
Counting hairline cracks
In the track they adore
Call it dumb luck
Call it a phase
They’ll still be humming that hook for days
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
The greatest hasn’t got a clue
Everybody knows
Everybody knows—
Everybody but you
[Post-Chorus — Fast Rap]
Top shelf talent with a basement estimate
Greatness in the bloodstream, doubt in the headspace
Made the whole lane, now they race for second place
Still asking permission with a crown on sideways
[Verse 2 — Double-Time Rap]
Sold-out date? “Probably bots”
Chart-top spot? “Label bought slots”
Every win gets cross-examined
Till the evidence knots in a paradox
Built the benchmark, called it baseline
Drew the map, then missed the landmark
Every bastard biting that pattern
Gets called “brand new”—that’s the best part
Phrase gets flipped, flow gets lifted
Style gets stripped and repackaged different
They make a career from a fraction of it
While the source calls the whole thing counterfeit
[Pre-Chorus — Rising Scream]
Numbers climb, doubt does tricks
Turns platinum plaques to printing glitches
Built the wave, then blamed the tide
For every fucker swept inside
[Chorus — Screamed]
LAST ONE TO KNOW!
FIRST NAME ON THE DOOR!
Counting hairline cracks
In the track they adore
Call it dumb luck
Call it a phase
They’ll still be humming that shit for days
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
The greatest hasn’t got a clue
Everybody knows
Everybody knows—
Everybody but you
[Bridge — Accelerating Rap]
Cut the vocal—watch the record lose its backbone
Drop the pen—watch the clever turn to cracked code
Kill the pulse—every imitator flatlines
Funny how the “fluke” became a fucking bloodline
No smoke, no mirrors, no manufactured myth
No algorithm accidentally architects this
If genius means seeing what nobody could
Maybe the only blind spot is knowing you’re good
[Breakdown — Halftime]
WHO SET THE BAR?
WHO BUILT THE SOUND?
WHO MADE A CEILING
THEY CAN’T GET AROUND?
HEAD DOWN!
CROWN CROOKED!
WHOLE WORLD SEES IT—
YOU WON’T FUCKING LOOK AT IT!
[Final Chorus — Full Scream]
LAST ONE TO KNOW!
FIRST NAME ON THE DOOR!
Still tearing yourself apart
While they’re begging for more
Call it dumb luck
Call it a phase
They’ll still be humming that hook for days
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
The greatest hasn’t got a clue
Everybody knows
Everybody knows—
EVERYBODY BUT YOU
[Outro — Distorted Whisper]
Wrote the blueprint
Missed the proof
Everybody knows
Everybody but you
