Intro

"Talk to me about the little brother, worth the money or just the bloodline" Gym lights hum, eight a.m., nobody else awake Lacing up the same name, different weight to take

Verse 1

Practice gym empty, just the hum and the squeak Thumb on a clip of a man in a suit talking about me this week Two-point-one on the table, that number got the whole school loud His highlight on the jumbotron above me, forty-foot crowd I tie the left shoe twice, tape around the ankle thin Read the bottom of the deal where they hide what I'm really in

Pre-chorus

Scoreboard in my chest going tick, tick, tick Nineteen and they price me like a stock they wanna pick

Chorus

Big game, same name, heavy as the gold Light it on the jumbotron, you can't put it up for sold Star on the floor, nepo in the feed Same name they scream for him they spell it wrong for me Same name, last name, what's it gonna cost Climb a flight of bigger checks, count a flight of what I lost

Verse 2

Group chat forty-one deep, everybody got a plan Auntie say take the transfer, uncle say be a man Pops quiet on the read, rent went up four hundred Carol City kitchen light, I know what he ain't said yet A school out west wave a bag, max it out, go pro on paper Home gym know my real name, loyalty a slow favor I'm the line in the budget, I'm the help and the heir Eighteen years of his shadow, now they wanna split the air

Verse 3

March come, lights up, sixty seconds left to give Air-balled the open look, that clip gon outlive how I live Three million eyes on a miss, slow it down, make it loop A legend said his name on a record, now I'm the extra in the group I'm not the punchline, I'm the kid in the dark on the wing Same blood pumping in me, just nobody made it sing

Pre-chorus

Scoreboard in my chest going tick, tick, tick Nineteen and they price me like a stock they wanna pick

Chorus

Verse 4

Camera light, live mic, suit ask it cold Is it love of the game or the contract you hold I said one true sentence, twelve words, meant it clean By the six o'clock they cut it into something I don't mean I watch the version of me that the algorithm grew Wonder if the kid in the tape would even know him too

Bridge

Hey it's Dad, just call me back when you can, no pressure, love you This is the agent, the offer expires Friday at noon It's your brother, lil bro, don't let em make you small, you hear me Same name they scream for him they spell it wrong for me

Verse 5

Team bus midnight, ninety miles of black glass Headphones in, no song, just the engine and the past Laptop open, one email, subject line a sum Cursor blinking like the scoreboard, tick, tick, the deal undone I read it twice, I don't sign, I don't slam it shut Thumb above the trackpad, that's the whole of it, that's the cut Streetlight strobe my face, 954 area glow Where this go nobody knows, I just let the cursor go

Pre-chorus

Scoreboard in my chest going tick, tick, tick Nineteen and they price me like a stock they wanna pick

Chorus

Outro

Tick, tick, last name
