Read the lyric sheet
Intro
They sell you the illusion of a win. But the house always wins. Watch the numbers change.
Verse 1
They hike the price a month before the date Then drop it down to make the value great It's calculated, clearing out the shelf You think you saving, hurting for yourself That Q4 revenue is all they chase A frantic sprint inside the retail race They move the old stock just to clear the floor Before the new lines walk inside the door
Pre-chorus
The countdown clock is messing with your mind The urgency is crafted and designed Is it a steal or just a mental trap? The inventory moving off the map
Chorus
Black Friday shadows on the concrete street You chasing discounts in the winter heat Authentic value or a phantom deal? Hard to distinguish what is fake or real The percentage sign is blinding to the eye While profit margins climb into the sky
Verse 2
Check the model number on the box It ain't the premium, it's paradox Specific versions made with cheaper parts To satisfy the hunger in your hearts The doorbusters are bait to pull you in With limited supply, nobody win The bots are eating deals inside the net While algorithms placing every bet
Pre-chorus
The countdown clock is messing with your mind The urgency is crafted and designed Is it a steal or just a mental trap? The inventory moving off the map
Chorus
Black Friday shadows on the concrete street You chasing discounts in the winter heat Authentic value or a phantom deal? Hard to distinguish what is fake or real The percentage sign is blinding to the eye While profit margins climb into the sky
Bridge
The wealthy clicking from a comfort zone Comparison is easy on the phone But if you living paycheck to the check This holiday can turn into a wreck Impulse buying when the pressure peaks Can ruin budgets for the coming weeks
Verse 3
Inequality inside the aisle They target access with a plastic smile The social pressure rising in the crowd The scarcity is screaming out loud From warehouse floors to every shopping cart They masterminded consumerist art So read the history and track the cost Before your sanity and cash are lost
Pre-chorus
The countdown clock is messing with your mind The urgency is crafted and designed Is it a steal or just a mental trap? The inventory moving off the map
Chorus
Black Friday shadows on the concrete street You chasing discounts in the winter heat Authentic value or a phantom deal? Hard to distinguish what is fake or real The percentage sign is blinding to the eye While profit margins climb into the sky
Outro
Don't let the illusion take the wheel. Know the price. Know the game.
