If either one or both of you doesn't conduct yourselves like you need to today, I'll hold you in contempt, the both of you

Feel like I'm stuck inside of a puppet show

And everybody dancing but they cut their own ropes

These rappers claiming they're real but they softer than souffle

Acting like they gods but their knees bent like blu-ray

Everything's a script, everybody stick to roles

Bunch of Tik-Tok Gangsters with these emoji souls

They said they got beef, now they're just lactose

Watch them pull up to the mic, watch them freeze like Mac Pros

And I don't do the capping, no, I don't do the acting

And everybody flexing but nobody packing

They talk about guns and then they talk about racks

But boy, your credit score looking like a temperature check

And I don't trust nobody, I move like a ghost

I'm cut from a cloth that you bums just can't approach

I see through the lies like a windshield crack

I could body your career with a 12-bar track

Dance little puppet, go and play your part

Act tough and act real, act like you got a heart

You're pulling them strings, you let the lies unfold

But the crowd don't clap when the truth gets told

Dance little puppet, go and play your part

But the show's been rigged and it's from the very start

We all act out what we're told to be

And then they're pulling the strings, so really, who's free

Look at politicians, their fake as they Twitter feeds

Talk about change while they pocket the biggest fees

Sell you a dream and then they tax it to death

And then they flip it off the poor while they cashing the checks

These influencers, man, they just selling you lies

They got filters on filters, fake lips, and fake lives

They told you to love yourself, then sold you a scam

Told you be different and then copied the brand

And I ain't impressed by a chain or a pendant

Your car's on a lease and your house got a tenant

You flex on the gram like you ballin' and rich

But no, you overdraft more than you post up a pic

And the synesthete's faker than a Santa at Macy's

They love you, then dump you like these groupie old ladies

They build you up, then they put you in suits and ties

Strip you of your soul to commercialize

Dance little puppet, go and play your part

Act tough and act real, act like you got a heart

You're pulling them strings to let the lies unfold

But the crowd don't clap when the truth gets told

Dance little puppet, go and play your part

But the show's been rigged and it's from the very start

We all act out what we're told to be

And then they're pulling the strings, so really, who's free

I'm feeling like a glitch in the system, like a virus

And y'all in the manger still stuck behind wires

They gave you a cage, but then they painted gold

And then they clap and you dance, but you ain't pay what they owed

These labels, they vultures, know, they pick at your bones

They dangle the fame, then they wanna strip what you own

These labels got artists on chains like these pets

Then they drop them like stocks when they posing a threat

The world's a joke, I know I'm done with the laughs

And yeah, you worship these frauds, but they live off the past

But see, I'm calling the shots, I'm ripping up the script

There ain't no circus, now we know that I burned down the tent

And it's as real as it gets, it's just as real as it be

Who thought the KC could really just be free

As he hangs from a tree, cause he's cut from the strings

And if you're looking at him, he's as dead as can be

Dance little puppet, go and play your part

Act tough and that's real, act like you got a heart

You're pulling them strings, you let the lies unfold

But the crowd don't clap when the truth gets told

Dance little puppet, go and play your part

But the show's been rigged and it's from the very start

We all act out what we're told to be

And if you're looking at me, you see I hang from the strings
