Write My Name In Your Rules

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You said the contract was clean; I read the clause you hid. I kept your little shortcut in a folder marked “bullshit.” You smiled like a landlord counting rent before the month. I learned your favorite trick: call a threat a compromise. You want my hands to shake so yours can look composed. Cute. I brought the numbers, every crooked little sum. You brought a speech that couldn’t survive one question. [Pre-Chorus] You keep saying “trust me” like it pays the damn bill. I keep saying “show me,” and you dodge it still. [Chorus] You don’t get to write my name in your rules. You don’t get to dress your greed up as truth. You can talk that shit till your throat goes raw— I’m not your fool, I’m not your fool. You don’t get to write my name in your rules. [Verse 2] You told the crew the delay was my fault. I saved your message, time-stamped, clean as a confession. You blame the kid who hauls the cases while you take the credit. Then ask me why I’m done playing nice. I said, “You’re full of shit,” and the room went still. Good. You wanted a witness; now you’ve got six. You wanted a scapegoat; pick somebody else. [Pre-Chorus] You keep saying “trust me” like it pays the damn bill. I keep saying “show me,” and you dodge it still. [Chorus] You don’t get to write my name in your rules. You don’t get to dress your greed up as truth. You can talk that shit till your throat goes raw— I’m not your fool, I’m not your fool. You don’t get to write my name in your rules. [Bridge] No more favors. No more hush money. You can keep the cheap applause and the company hoodie. I kept the dates, the sums, the names you tried to bury. You said I’d fold; I’m standing here, and you’re the one who’s sweating. That’s your whole damn empire in a spreadsheet cell. [Final Chorus] You don’t get to write my name in your rules. You don’t get to dress your greed up as truth. You can talk that shit till your throat goes raw— I’m not your fool, I’m not your fool. You don’t get to write my name in your rules. [Outro] You don’t get to write my name in your rules.
