[Verse]
Frontin’ at the lunch table, tales too tall
Borrowed a backbone, it wasn’t yours at all
Flexin' on a name that ain't even your crew
Never hard, never cool, it was someone you knew
Talkin’ like a giant, but your shadow don’t stretch
Tryna claim the field, but you ain't left the bench
Stories so borrowed, they should charge you rent
Bricks in your boast, but the walls still bent
[Chorus]
Never hard, never cool, nah, you never paid dues
It was him, it was her, it was someone you knew
Never fought, never ran, never walked in their shoes
Your whole myth is a ghost, just someone you knew
[Verse 2]
Echo of a legend, not a voice of your own
Claiming thrones you ain’t built, homes you don’t own
Sharp words, but your blade came blunt, no shine
Stealing valor like it’s yours, counterfeit the grind
Whispers in the hallway, puffin' up your chest
But the truth got receipts, and it failed the test
It’s a rerun, every story you recycle
Secondhand fame, but it’s never been rightful
[Bridge]
You wore their stripes, but never saw the war
You held their mic, but never knew the score
Their struggle, their hustle, you just played a role
An actor in the shadow, never earned the soul
[Verse]
