You think your little mockery is gonna make me cry?
That I'm bawlin' 'bout the past that could have been?
Look around ya, Al!
I've been schemin' this whole time
I got a team, I got a dream
And all I'm gonna do is win!

You're in my house, with my rules
In my room, with my tools
And worse, you're at my mercy
Cursed to watch me take it all
You've gone ass up
You're deep fried
Your last luck has run dry
At last, your check has cashed
I'd laugh at how you look so small

Don't you forget
You're on my string
You can try to squirm and struggle and it wouldn't do a thing
Don't you forget!

You're so obsessed with me
I knew you'd need me here to be
Your unwilling audience
When you lose your marbles in act three

You're huffing glue if you think I won't end this tale a ruler
I'm just like you except I'm smarter, sharper, brighter, newer!
So, I'll keep your smug ass alive
To–

To show me you're not a loser?

Do you ever shut up?

Don't you forget

Oh, here he goes

You ain't won yet!

Ooh, I'm scared

You still need me like you did before

So cute you think I care.
Now I'm the master
And you're my bottomest bitch
No more Al, the high and mighty
Now that I flipped the switch
Though the radio's gone dead
You know the show must go on
By the time I've had my fun
You'll wish that you had stayed gone!

So, line up the lights, let the curtain fall
Every word you spit just proves I planned it all
You call this chaos, I call it design
Every step you take was written in my mind

I built this stage with your doubt and fear
Every laugh you gave just brought me here
You thought I’d crack, you thought I’d bend
But I’m the author of how this ends

Pull the strings tighter, hear ’em snap
You were the king once—now look at that
A crown of dust, a throne of lies
You finally see it through my eyes

Go on, scream louder, make your plea
Every echo just belongs to me
This isn’t rage, this isn’t hate
It’s patience paying interest rate

So watch the walls close, feel it click
Every move you make was my last trick
When silence hits and the lights are gone
You’ll know exactly who you leaned on

Don’t you forget—this wasn’t luck
I didn’t rise up, I *woke* you up
And when the story’s carved in stone
They’ll say I won it on my own
