Intro
Yeah… they smile in your face, right? But watch the tone, the eyes, the pace— Some love’s a loan, not a grace, I learned truth don’t always wear grace.
Verse 1
They say, “You real,” but they over-agree, Mirror your words like glass in the sea. Talk sweet first, then cut where you bleed, Validation trap, it’s the oldest scheme. Whisper “Be careful” when you not around, Planting your name just to water doubt. Touch too close, just testin’ the ground, You blink once wrong, they know your bounds.
Pre-chorus
They play victim in a story they wrote, Hero with a halo that’s floatin’ broke, Steal your joy, but call it a joke— Soon you see the mask, but the mask already spoke.
Chorus
🚨 RED FLAGS — see ‘em in the eyes not the talk! 🚨 RED FLAGS — they smile while they chalk your walk! 🚨 RED FLAGS — don’t let ‘em ride when they mock! 🚨 RED FLAGS — trust your gut when it knocks!
Verse 2
They love the stage, can’t share the light, Shift the shine, call it “equal right.” Say “we” too soon, fake unite, Then flip when your truth outshines their bite. Praise you by trashin’ the crowd next door, Same mouth gonna drag you more. Joy thief grin when you start to soar— That’s envy in Dior.
Pre-chorus
They overreact to the smallest spark, Actin’ like angels with teeth in the dark, One mask slip and the world remarks, How the kindest tone left a hidden mark.
Chorus
🚨 RED FLAGS — see ‘em in the eyes not the talk! 🚨 RED FLAGS — they smile while they chalk your walk! 🚨 RED FLAGS — don’t let ‘em ride when they mock! 🚨 RED FLAGS — trust your gut when it knocks!
Bridge
You can spot it in the silence, First minute, pure science. Energy off? That’s guidance. Boundaries ain’t defiance. Write the truth, let the fake unfriend, One pattern—pause. Two?—it’s the end. Four-five years lost if you don’t defend, Trust your peace more than you trust a trend.
Chorus
🚨 RED FLAGS — eyes don’t lie when the soul ain’t pure! 🚨 RED FLAGS — stay solid, let your light endure! 🚨 RED FLAGS — they test you soft, then open the door! 🚨 RED FLAGS — cut the cord, that’s self-love war!
Outro
No hate, just lesson learned, No bridge burned, just peace earned. Toxic tales, I flipped the script, Now I guard my vibe like a championship. They play victim in a story they wrote, Hero with a halo that’s floatin’ broke,
Inside the recording
Yeah… they smile in your face, right? But watch the tone, the eyes, the pace—
They play victim in a story they wrote, Hero with a halo that’s floatin’ broke,
No hate, just lesson learned, No bridge burned, just peace earned.
