Jealousy is a Tribute

Verse 1

They watch me from the sidelines

Scratching at the window like they wanna climb in

I don't turn around no more

Their whispers float past like some weather I ignore

Funny thing about the hate they carry

Heavy on their shoulders but they never bury

It's not my load to lift or understand

I just keep on moving with my feet in the sand

Pre-Chorus

They say I'm too proud about luck too much But their noise will never adjust my touch Let them burn their little candle at both ends

I'm not the fire they think they can attend

Chorus

Jealousy is a tribute

A bow they never knew they gave

They're Jealousy is a tribute

they never knew they gave

they're only hurting themselves with it

down in a hole they dug into a grave

Let em hiss wish they spent

Second-guessing who they are

Every time I raise the bar

I don't owe them my attention

Their own reflection is the tension

Pre-Chorus

They can double down or fade away

I'm not the one who loses when they stray

Let them sharpen words until they dull

I'm unbothered running full

Chorus

Jealousy is a tribute

A bow they never knew they gave

They're only hurting themselves with it

Down in a hole they dug and can't save

Let em hiss let em scheme

Out here I'm living out my dream

Their envy is a crown they made for me

And I wear it silently

Post-Chorus

Watch me watch me

From the corner of their eye

Bother me no

I'm already passing [Bridge]

Their hearts lacks the hunger

Underneath afraid of their wonder

I'm at the right time and place

Every note I ever played

Was never meant for them to understand

I built who I am by being my biggest fan [Chorus]

Jealousy is a tribute

A bow they never knew they gave

They're only hurting themselves with it

Down in a hole they dug and can't save

Let em hiss let em scheme

Out here I'm living out my dream

Their envy is a crown they made for

And I wear it silently

Post-Chorus

Let them watch me

From the corner of their eye

Bother me, I pay no mind

Obviously, that's why

Nothing can stop me

I'm just passing by

Verse 3

I've been moving in my lane while they stay parked

Counting my mistakes from a window in the dark

Every time I level up they reroute the story

Little men with big mouths but no real glory

They check my numbers daily like a habit

Wonder how I got this far when they can't have it

Selling dream to themselves and calling it a meal

While I'm eating off the plate they swore they'd never steal

Pre-Chorus

They study my footsteps like a science

Then get sick when they can't find a weakness to rely on

I don't owe a single second of my day

To the ones who only ever wanted me to fade

Chorus

Jealousy is a tribute

A bow they never knew they gave

They're only hurting themselves with it

Down in a hole they dug and can't save

Let em hiss let em scheme

Out here I'm living out my dream

Their envy is a crown they made for me

And I wear it silently

Post-Chorus

Keep on watchin

From the corner of your eye

Why you bothered

I'm already passing by

Verse 4

They wrote a script for me before I wrote my own

Cast me as the villain when I built my home

Now the sequel's out and they don't like the part

Where the lead is everything they swore they'd never start

I was born with stones in both my pockets

Made them skip across the water till they got me

Not a wave can sink me not a storm can break

I'm the architect of every risk I take

Bridge

Piano keys under pressure make a song

I been through the fire and I came out strong

Every key I hit is a victory march

Every note I strike leaves a permanent scar

On the story they told to make themselves feel right

I'm the anthem playing in their quiet nights

Chorus

Jealousy is a tribute

A bow they never knew they gave

They're only hurting themselves with it

Down in a hole they dug and can't save

Let em hiss let em scheme

Out here I'm living out my dream

Their envy is a crown they made for me

And I wear it silently

Outro

(I wear it)

(Yeah I wear it)

Silent

(Silent)

Say it in your head a hundred times a night

Doesn't change the fact I'm living right

Crown of envy sittin heavy on my name

But I don't even feel the weight

(I'm one of one)

(Too many of them)

(I wear it)

(I wear it silently)
