[Talking Intro]

Sometimes the hardest thing to fix isn't the machine, it's the fact that they keep breaking it on purpose just to see if you can put it back together. (so Majestic)

 The Prototype That Works

Verse One

I wake up to a world that’s always broken (yeah)

Solving puzzles that nobody else can even see

I give them the design, the prototype that works (man, come on)

But as soon as it’s alive, they pull the plug on me

It’s a cycle that never ends, just one problem after another (forget that)

Like they’re afraid if I win, I might finally take a breath (boss)

So they keep the pressure on, keep the dopamine blocked (yeah)

While I’m out here working myself to death (real talk)

They take the idea and they move it a level deeper (nah)

While I’m left staring at the same old ceiling fan (so Majestic)

It is a waste of time to optimize what is finished (yeah)

But they need me back at the start of the plan (that's out)

I am looking for the exit but the door is just a wall (yeah)

They want the prototype but they do not want the man (boss)

Sixteen hours in and I am still chasing the spark (don't even)

Trying to find the light before the day is gone (so Majestic)

Chorus

It’s problem after problem, a never-ending line (yeah)

They cancel my success just to keep me in the grind (real talk)

I’m the factory of ideas, the one they always use (so Majestic)

But no matter what I solve, I’m the one who’s gonna lose (yeah)

Verse Two

They take it a level deeper, optimize it for the secret (yeah)

While I’m left standing here, feeling the weight (real talk)

Constant psychological pressure, trying to prove my worth (stop it)

Like I’ve been solving their problems since the date of my birth (yeah)

One solution turns to ten, and the truth is hard to swallow (no way)

I’m spelling out the words while they’re just passing by (yeah)

They want me on my toes, never resting on my laurels (not happening)

While I’m the one caught up in all their petty quarrels (yeah)

They get the prototype that works the first time you turn it on (real talk)

Then they cancel the project and tell me to move on (cut it out)

It is a cycle of seeking a reward that never stays (so Majestic)

Just a hamster in a wheel for the rest of my days (yeah)

They use the smartest people just to keep the engine hot (unbelievable)

Taking every single drop of the focus that I got (yeah)

I am tired of the game and the way they play the part (so Majestic)

Trying to find a way to make a brand new start (yeah)

Chorus

It’s problem after problem, a never-ending line (yeah)

They cancel my success just to keep me in the grind (real talk)

I’m the factory of ideas, the one they always use (so Majestic)

But no matter what I solve, I’m the one who’s gonna lose (yeah)

Bridge

Maybe I’m just too focused for my own good (yeah)

Doing all the things that they never thought I could (boss)

But I’m tired of the cancel, tired of the block (no more)

I’m ready to stop watching the hands on the clock (so Majestic)

Verse Three

I’m breaking the cycle, I’m finding my own way (yeah)

No more solving problems for a world that won’t pay (real talk)

I’m taking my designs, my prototypes, my heart (I'm good)

And I’m making sure this time, I’m the one who gets to start (yeah)

From the first verse to the last, I’m claiming what is mine (it's over)

No more letting them dictate how I’m gonna shine (yeah)

The factory is closed, and the lights are finally on (so Majestic)

By the time they realize it, I’ll already be gone (no thanks)

I will not be the one they use to fill the gap (real talk)

I am stepping off the grid and I am jumping off the map (yeah)

They can find another mind to optimize their greed (not me)

I have finally realized I have everything I need (yeah)

Two feet on the floor and a vision in my head (real talk)

I am waking up alive instead of crawling back to bed (nah)

No more cancellations, no more dopamine delay (so Majestic)

I am taking back the power and I am starting today (yeah)

Chorus

It’s problem after problem, a never-ending line (yeah)

They cancel my success just to keep me in the grind (real talk)

I’m the factory of ideas, the one they always use (so Majestic)

But no matter what I solve, I’m the one who’s gonna lose (yeah)

Talking Outro

You can't keep feeding a system that only thrives when you're hungry. I'm taking my energy back. Let them solve their own mess from now on. (so Majestic)
