Intro
Yeah...
Verse 1
Slid the card for the band on my wrist Boat lights flashing, Miami at dusk Borrowed the fit, shades from my cuz Group chat blowing up, "you in or what?" Posted the story, champagne in frame They don't know the account's running on fumes Eviction notice under the mat But for tonight, I'm the king of the yacht
Pre-chorus
Lights flashing, cameras snapping They see the glow, don't see the spin
Chorus
Rented wristband, flexing for the 'gram Champagne popping, but the bank's in the red They see the boat, don't see the struggle Temporary king in a borrowed bubble
Verse 2
Stories stacking, likes coming in fast Old friends watching, envy in the comments cast Girls sliding, DMs full of fire But back home the lights flicker, landlord on the wire Same cracked phone, same overdue mail Same ceiling stain telling the same tale
Chorus
Rented wristband, flexing for the 'gram Champagne popping, but the bank's in the red They see the boat, don't see the struggle Temporary king in a borrowed bubble
Verse 3
Whole city's full of rented glows and filtered lies South Beach dreams sold cheap under neon skies IG perfect, real life strained and cracked We all chasing status, the illusion intact Digital currency, but the bills still due Flex culture feeding on me and you
Bridge
Wristband on the dresser, glowing in the dark One night of belonging, now the real world starts I know it's fake, but the feeling hits so hard Tomorrow I'll do it again, play my part
Verse 4
Eviction notice on the counter, cold coffee in the cup Account balance negative, but the post said "up" Borrowed clothes, borrowed time, borrowed shine One night king, morning peasant in line
Verse 5
Same routine, same lie, same temporary high Rented wristband, rented life, watch the time fly They clap for the post, I laugh at the price But the glow is the drug, and I'm hooked for life
Chorus
Rented wristband..., yeah Flexing for the 'gram..., fake it Temporary king..., in the bubble
Outro
Wristband on the dresser... tomorrow again
Inside the recording
Yeah...
Lights flashing, cameras snapping They see the glow, don't see the spin
Wristband on the dresser... tomorrow again
