Intro

Clause seven point three: voice, likeness, cadence, stems, synthetic features, worldwide, in perpetuity. Clack, beep, SIGN.

Verse 1

Eleven-forty, small room, takeout foil on the chair, A&R smiling like the future had a parking space there. He played three demos, all my breath with a plastic bend, Said, "Scale your output before the rent asks again." Blue pad floating, sub low, ceiling full of glare, My adlib glitched like it learned to sleep inside the air. He said, "Think bigger, kid, calendars multiply." I watched the waveform blink like somebody opened my eye.

Pre-chorus

Pen felt warm, printer still sweating, One small clause had my whole mouth netted.

Chorus

Clone me, owe me, let the ghost go roam, Copies walking out the file, wearing rented chrome. Clone me, owe me, count it cold, count it close, They trained it on my throat, so I charged rent to the ghost. Clack, beep, SIGN, clack, beep, SIGN, Sold my voice by the terabyte, billed them by the line. Clone me, owe me, I don't fold, I code, I learned the same machine and made the machine owe.

Verse 2

Clause twelve in the margin, tiny type with teeth, "Cadence, likeness, derivative works" underneath. No approval chain, just a PDF grin, A lawyer's middle name where my future got pinned. Cracked phone lit, 305 rain on the glass, 954 in the footer, split page cut in half. They fed dry takes to a dataset in the back, Then sent "congrats" with a dashboard screenshot attached.

Verse 3

Friday drop said me, but I was asleep in Queens, Tuesday fake feature booked me for three different streams. Fans asked, "Which one real?" under every post, Promoter called my clone and gave my body to a ghost. Numbers spiked green where the label held the key, My mouth made rent for rooms that never rented me. Release schedule leaked, all smoke, no call, Five versions of my hunger with my name off the wall.

Pre-chorus

Ink looked calm, inbox kept betting, One small clause had the whole crowd guessing.

Chorus

Bridge

Perpetuity, territory, nonexclusive grin, No tiny waiver gets to tell me who I been. I underlined "likeness" till the paper looked awake, Then watched the dashboard blink like a beautiful mistake. Signature melting into waveform, blue ink turning black, Every clause that bit me left a tooth I could track.

Verse 4

Two-thirteen, black hoodie, fan spinning like a drone, I learned prompt chains quiet, trained clones of my own. Stems in folders, splits in sheets, aliases clean, Private models talking with a knife in the screen. I didn't steal the system, I read what they wrote, Put my cadence in a vault, put a toll on the throat. Now their fake release calendar got crowded by mine, Same machine, new owner, same blinking green sign.

Verse 5

I became my bad contract with cleaner aim, Worst enemy, best weapon, same mouth, new frame. I don't call it freedom, I call it leverage with pulse, A rigged game prints me, so I invoice every ghost. Villain mode quiet, no cape, just terms, Every synthetic chorus brings the ledger what it earns. When my copies walk out, they don't walk alone, I sign the ghost back home, then I make the ghost own.

Pre-chorus

Pen went cold, printer stopped sweating, Now my whole mouth owns the room they're renting.

Chorus

Outro

Voice. Likeness. Cadence. Stems. Voice. Likeness. Cadence. Splits. Clack, beep, SIGN.
