Intro

Yeah, you hear that tickin'? That's the family feud, always kickin' Older than the mountains, older than the script Listen to the ego on eternal lips... let's go

Verse 1

I'm the second, I'm the spark, I'm the flash, I'm the start! I'm the heartbeat in your chest, I'm the reason it's art! I'm the panic in the clutch, I'm the blink, I'm the twitch You don't move, you don't breathe 'less I flip that switch! Hold up, little man, you just noise in the track You're a fleeting feeling, you ain't never comin' back I'm the one they measure, I'm the substance, the weight Sixty of you die just to put food on my plate, wait!

Chorus

We the spoiled kids, we the ancient ones Fightin' over rank 'fore there ever was a sun It's a family problem, it's a cosmic brawl We the backbone of it, built to hold the wall Yeah, we run this, but we hate the biz Actin' immature, but we eternal as it gets

Verse 2

Y'all are bickerin' 'bout nothin', I'm the one who builds the block I'm the "9-to-5," I'm the power, I'm the clock History gets written when I show up to the meetin' I'm the empire they're buildin', I'm the deadline they're defeatin' That's a cute opinion, but you're blind to the light You're just 24 parts of my day and my night I'm the one who turns the page, I'm the sunrise, the set You're a narrow-minded number, I'm the whole alphabet I'm the good and the bad, I'm the joy and the stress You just punch a card, I'm the one they confess to

Bridge

They talkin' trash, but they can't leave the room Trapped in the cycle from the cradle to tomb All of 'em right, all of 'em wrong Just different notes in the exact same song

Verse 3

I'm the rhythm, I'm the growth, I'm the check on payday Seven days of hustle, that's the only way we play I'm the pattern, I'm the habit, I'm the reason that you heal You a pattern? You're forgettable, I make the moon real I'm the season, I'm the harvest, I'm the rent that's always due I'm the reason that they celebrate, I'm older than you Quiet. All of you. Just... quiet. I'm the elder, I'm the architect, I'm the diet I'm the wisdom that they chase, I'm the age in their face I'm the curse, I'm the blessing, I'm the judge of the race Without me, none of you would even have a place.

Chorus

Bridge

They fight for the crown, but the crown is all theirs Immortal beings actin' like they're heirs Before the first heartbeat, before the first breath We were the only thing left after death

Chorus

Outro

It's just art, see? The eternal static... the family. We ain't goin' nowhere. We are nowhere... and everywhere. Tick.
