Greed breeds need to deceive and mislead
Is this sickness the system, or simply your need
Ever seen a kid give trust to a stranger online?
Chasing after golden promises that never align?
It's all a show, all a game, all a shallow facade
But they sell it like salvation, almost like they're some god
I ain't dealin' with this hype, it's all for the clicks
They sell you dreams, but the seams barely hold with the stitch
Is this the fault of the times, or the way we behave?
Chasing validation, digging up the digital grave
Greed breeds need to deceive and mislead
It's all a hollow game for you
All a hollow game for you
Is this sickness the system, or simply your need
How many pay the price for you
Too many paid the price for you
Every kid wants the crown, but who wants to lead?
When the kings and the queens are just peddling greed
Do we blame all the scammers, or the ones who subscribe?
Feeding egos like a furnace till the flames won't die
Is this culture or commerce, who drew the line?
When we're taught to sell our souls for the spotlight to shine
We're the audience and actors in a cycle of sin
Cheering frauds and their fraudulence, again and again
We built this house of cards, now the winds won't cease
Sold our dreams to the highest bidder, bought the disease
Do we change what we're chasing, or change who we are?
When the brightest stars burn out, are we left in the dark?
Greed breeds need to deceive and mislead
It's all a hollow game for you
All a hollow game for you
Is this sickness the system, or simply your need
How many pay the price for you
Too many paid the price for you
They say, "Dream big, but don't ask how it's done"
Climb higher, but the steps are made of someone
The Algo preaches with an empty voice
And the crowd keeps listening, as if there's no choice
Promises of gold, but the hands are cold
It's a story retold, and somehow never gets old
Who are you when the lights go down?
Do you smile, or do you drown?
Can you face what you've become
When the world stops watching, and the silence comes?
We raised a generation where the mirror's the shrine
Taught to measure their worth in likes and online time
Empathy's a relic; compassion's out of style
We traded deeper connections for fleeting smiles
The seeds were planted when we praised the loudest voice
Rewarding arrogance, as if it's the only choice
Now it's not about truth, it's about who can sell
We've monetized our dreams and called it "doing well"
Ever wonder who profits when we fall in line?
Trading purpose for vanity, one click at a time
The culture we crafted rewards boldest lies
While the honest fade away, unseen by the eyes
But the cracks are showing; the facade won't last
A house built on ego will crumble as fast
If we dare to unlearn, and see through the glare
Maybe we'll find there's a real world waiting out there
It's not too late to rebuild, to rewrite the scene
A life that's not driven by envy or screens
Let the mirrors shatter; let the truth be free
The reflection's not the answer-
It's who we choose to be
Greed breeds need to deceive and mislead
It's all a hollow game for you
All a hollow game for you
Is this sickness the system, or simply your need
How many pay the price for you
Too many paid the price for you
Greed breeds need to deceive and mislead
There is sickness in the System for you to succeed
For you to succeed..
To succeed...
