Lyrics
Dark Chicago drill, minimalist and restrained, inspired by Kane Beats with an Ace Mac–style vocal pocket
INTRO
Mm
Yeah
Read it close
⸻
HOOK
I read the fine print when I signed my name
Everything cost, I don’t complain
Lost some access, lost some friends
Still stand firm on the terms and conditions
Peace over noise, I made that switch
Cold decisions, steady wrist
What I protect, I protect to the end
Still stand firm on the terms and conditions
⸻
VERSE 1
I chose quiet rooms over crowded praise
Shorter lists, but the math stay straight
Used to chase highs, now I pace my wins
Less reaction, more discipline
I watched trust thin when the margins tight
Who stayed solid when the lights went white
I don’t blame ‘em, I adjusted quick
Some bridges burn when you don’t bend shit
Every yes cost more than it paid
So I learned when to step away
Sleep come easy when the rules set clear
No surprises when the terms right here
⸻
HOOK
I read the fine print when I signed my name
Everything cost, I don’t complain
Lost some access, lost some friends
Still stand firm on the terms and conditions
Peace over noise, I made that switch
Cold decisions, steady wrist
What I protect, I protect to the end
Still stand firm on the terms and conditions
⸻
VERSE 2 (REFLECTIVE / GRIM)
I miss some faces, I won’t pretend
But I don’t miss the way it all would bend
When loyalty leaned on convenient truths
And silence only showed when it suited you
I learned distance don’t mean defeat
Sometimes space what you need to breathe
I don’t move fast, I don’t move thin
I move exact, let the rest move in
No big speeches, no closure scenes
Just clean exits and quieter dreams
What I built now don’t need applause
It stand on rules, not fragile laws
⸻
BRIDGE
Mm
Nothing personal
Just what it cost
Yeah
⸻
FINAL HOOK
I read the fine print when I signed my name
Everything cost, I don’t complain
Lost some access, lost some friends
Still stand firm on the terms and conditions
Peace over noise, I made that switch
Cold decisions, steady wrist
What I protect, I protect to the end
Still stand firm on the terms and conditions
⸻
OUTRO
If it don’t touch first… it don’t move
Mm
