Just a Rebrand

Just a Rebrand

V1

You walk in like rent’s due. And you own the whole town

Smile like a saint. While you measure my crown

You toast to “together,” then you slide me the bill

I laugh at the check. It laughs back still

V2

You call me “your guy,” when the cameras are near

Then ghost my name clean when the numbers look weird

You clap for my wins like they fell from your shelf

Then rewrite the story. So you did it yourself

Pre1

If you got the whole pie. why you staring at my plate

Is this a new you showing up. Or the same old bait

Chorus

You say it’s win-win. But you live by the score

You want the whole pie. Then you ask for one more

You say “we’re a team,” with a knife in your hand

Can you change your spots. Or is it just a rebrand

So who are you. When you don’t get what you planned

V3

You learned all the right words. From a shiny old book

“Alignment.” “Culture.” “Family.” That rehearsed little look

You say “I hear you,” while you scroll for your next move

Like empathy’s a jacket. You put on to improve

V4

Meetings turn into mirrors. That only show your face

Every “we” gets edited. Till it’s you in first place

When the pressure gets heavy. you don’t grab the same rope

You hand me the weight. then you sell me “hope”

V5

I start doing math on the air in the room

How you take up the oxygen. leave the rest in a tomb

I call it out gentle. you call me “too much”

Funny how “win-win” disappears with one touch

Pre2

When the mask starts to slip. do you notice the sound

Or do you just swap the costume. when the truth comes around

Chorus

You say it’s win-win. But you live by the score

You want the whole pie. Then you ask for one more

You say “we’re a team,” with a knife in your hand

Can you change your spots. Or is it just a rebrand

So who are you. When you don’t get what you planned

V6

I remember your story. how life did you wrong

How the world never clapped. when you needed a song

So you made it a contest. where you never can lose

And called it “ambition,” like that’s hard to refuse

V7

I tried to be patient. tried to translate your fear

Tried to turn all your “taking” into “making it here”

But the more that I carried. the lighter you got

Like you trained for this game. and I trained to be caught

V8

Then came the little betrayals. the casual steals

The “must be a glitch” when it’s my name on the meals

You took my good will. like a tip off the tray

Then asked me to smile. for the team photo day

Pre3

If I hand you the map. do you still move the line

If I give you my trust. do you call it “mine”

Chorus

You say it’s win-win. But you live by the score

You want the whole pie. Then you ask for one more

You say “we’re a team,” with a knife in your hand

Can you change your spots. Or is it just a rebrand

So who are you. When you don’t get what you planned

V9

So I stopped explaining. stopped begging for fair

Stopped watering weeds. like they’re roses in there

I started saying “no” like it’s holy and clean

And watched you get small. when you can’t be the king

V10

You offered a reset. with a brand-new speech

“You’re misreading my heart.” while you reach and you reach

You promised “different.” with the same little grin

Like a wolf saying “vegan.” with blood on his chin

V11

I don’t hate you. I’m done. there’s a difference to learn

I’m not your supply. I’m not your bridge to burn

You can keep your scoreboard. your spotlight. your plan

I’m walking with peace. like a spine in my hand

Pre4

When nobody claps. do you still know your name

When nobody folds. do you still play the same

Chorus

You say it’s win-win. But you live by the score

You want the whole pie. Then you ask for one more

You say “we’re a team,” with a knife in your hand

Can you change your spots. Or is it just a rebrand

So who are you. When you don’t get what you planned

V12

Maybe you can change. I won’t swear that you can’t

But change ain’t a slogan. it’s a daily “I won’t”

It’s giving back credit. when nobody sees

It’s letting folks breathe. without charging a fee

V13

It’s saying “I’m scared,” instead of “You’re wrong”

It’s learning the difference between power and strong

It’s sharing the pie. when you baked none of it

It’s losing on purpose. and not throwing a fit

V14

If you do that work. I’ll be proud from afar

But I’m not your project. I’m not your PR

I’ll bless your becoming. just don’t call it “we”

Till your win-win includes what it costed in me

Pre5

So tell me plain. no script. no band

Who are you really. when you don’t get what you planned

Chorus

You say it’s win-win. But you live by the score

You want the whole pie. Then you ask for one more

You say “we’re a team,” with a knife in your hand

Can you change your spots. Or is it just a rebrand

So who are you. When you don’t get what you planned

Bridge

I wanted to believe you. I wanted it true

But truth don’t bend easy. just because you do

If love is a table. you flip it for fun

Then ask why I’m leaving. when dinner ain’t done

So change if you mean it. no cameras. no sound

Or keep the same stripes. just painted around

Outro

Win-win on your lips. scoreboard in your hand

Same stripes. new logo. same old demand

I’ll keep my peace. you keep your plan

Can you change your spots. Or is it just a rebrand
