Intro
Midnight on the stadium lights, paper stacks inflamed Profit margins do the dash, valuations rearranged Echoes of a deal struck back when nobody watched the game Now it’s Forbes covers and billion-dollar names
Verse 1
Started with a hunch and a locker room funk Now it's private jets from a 200-mil chunk Inflation ain't just in the bread, it's in the brand Franchise flip like a crypto scam with fan demand Wasn't nothin’ but bleachers and beers Now the merch cost racks and the seats need veneers Streaming rights move faster than a ghost trade Add some zeros to the price, like the league got played
Chorus
How you buy a dream for a milli, sell it for a billy? Turn a court to a kingdom, every brick feel chilly Sponsorships stacked high like it’s inflation season It ain’t loyalty, it’s leverage—franchises breathin’ That’s sports biz magic, now run the replay Cashball, not hardball, every deal prepaid From broke to bespoke, in the blink of a frame It’s not a game no more, it’s just the name
Verse 2
Luxury tax look like a flex, owners stuntin’ Bubbles blowin’ up faster than rookies runnin’ Analytics chase ghosts, hearts on the ticker But the numbers rise quicker than a Wall Street flicker Five years deep, that value tripled Not 'cause the team won—just brand got rippled NFT jerseys, AI scouts, skybox stocks Turned passion to product, and love to shock
Bridge
Was it ever about the score? Or just the scoreboard? Legacy bought in Bitcoin, legends can’t afford Parity’s a parody, parody’s the plug When the hustle’s inflation, who really got the dub?
Chorus
How you buy a dream for a milli, sell it for a billy? Turn a court to a kingdom, every brick feel chilly Sponsorships stacked high like it’s inflation season It ain’t loyalty, it’s leverage—franchises breathin’ That’s sports biz magic, now run the replay Cashball, not hardball, every deal prepaid From broke to bespoke, in the blink of a frame It’s not a game no more, it’s just the name
Outro
Echo in the rafters, chant of the crowd Used to be love—now it’s metrics loud If the jersey sells more than the soul it holds Then the scoreboard wins, and the story’s sold
Inside the recording
Midnight on the stadium lights, paper stacks inflamed Profit margins do the dash, valuations rearranged
How you buy a dream for a milli, sell it for a billy? Turn a court to a kingdom, every brick feel chilly
How you buy a dream for a milli, sell it for a billy? Turn a court to a kingdom, every brick feel chilly
