KO (X Factor Diss)
- Yeah... Look.
- This that automatic fire, no filter, no wire.
- This that gutter talk, this that fuck your idol choir.
- K O, K O, with the V O Double K
- You auditioned for a master, came back with a weak knee.
- They gave you a golden ticket, you handed 'em a plea.
- Now the whole damn factory laughin', you the joke on the screen.
- Don't step any further.
- I was quiet in the cut, lettin' clowns build the stage.
- Lettin' 'em believe that a participation page
- Could ever translate to a verse laced with true pain.
- You practiced your sad story in a mirror for the rain.
- I was catchin' real bodies, you was catchin' the train.
- To a panel of vampires who suck the soul from the game.
- You traded your dignity for a fifteen second claim.
- Now your name ringin' hollow, a temporary stain.
- My city don't do reruns, we cancel the fake.
- You stand for nothin', so you fall for the shake.
- The ground here is shaky if your foundation is plate.
- A cheap piece of metal that they polish for the sake
- Of a narrative. You pathetic. You the reason they take
- Real struggle and package it for a piece of the cake.
- K O, K O, with the V O Double K
- You auditioned for a master, came back with a weak knee.
- They gave you a golden ticket, you handed 'em a plea.
- Now the whole damn factory laughin', you the joke on the screen.
- Don't step any further.
- they told you to smile wider, so you stretched your cheeks thin
- became a caricature, let the emptiness in
- Your whole persona borrowed, from the shoes to the grin.
- A rented chain on your neck, where the real life begin?
- You cry on cue for the judges, I've seen real mothers fold.
- From a phone call that told 'em everything they loved is cold.
- You wouldn't know that feelin' if the script had it told.
- You're readin' lines, I'm speakin' life, my story can't be sold
- To the highest bidder for a temporary hold.
- You're a product with a barcode, I'm a story that's old
- As the pavement cracks that birthed me, ruthless and cold.
- You wanted fame? This is the flame, come and touch it, be bold.
- But your hand's already shakin', the truth has been spoken.
- Your spirit is broken from the first deal you hadoken.
- You sold your reflection, now you're just a token.
- K O, K O, with the V O Double K
- You auditioned for a master, came back with a weak knee.
- They gave you a golden ticket, you handed 'em a plea.
- Now the whole damn factory laughin', you the joke on the screen.
- Don't step any further.
- They built you up to be torn down.
- That's the business, that's the town.
- You were the willing lamb, they were the clowns in the crown.
- Now the applause is a sound that you can't stand.
- 'Cause you know it's a lie, just like the hand you were dealt.
- You built your house on a set that they'ma melt.
- For the next one. And the next one. And the next one.
- You're a lesson, not a legend. A question, not a testament.
- OUTRO
- don't step any further
- they'll eat you alive in there
- don't step any further
- you ain't built for the air theyre breathin'
- just a ghost in their machine
- K O.
- Final.
- Bell.
