Song

Narcissistic Grandiosity

A sharp, swaggering track about ego as armor, confidence as performance, and pain dressed up as self-respect.

Lyrics

Walk in clean, got the whole room
pressed
Face card gold, got a no-decline
flex
I do not chase light, I become
the glare
Whole room dim when I step in
there
My mirror gas me like a biased
witness
Even my ego got reps in the
fitness
Too clean, too fit, too slick,
all facts
Even my attitude got a six-pack
High standards, no cheap thrills
Top-shelf taste with expensive
skills
If I touch it once, I upgrade the
grade
I do not chase hype, hype send
invites
They say be humble, I say that’s
cute
That works better when the fit
stay mute
I walk in glowing, no weak
mismatch
Even my confidence got a six-pack
Too much sauce, make subtle look
tragic
I make self-love sound platinum
classic
I talk real big, but the facts do
too
If confidence paid rent, I own
this room

I know I’m a lot, that’s the
charm on me
Little too sharp, little hard to
read
Talk my talk, then I back that up
Whole room freeze when I
half-smile once
I wear my pride like a tailored
fit
Even my flaws look expensive in
it
You call it extra, I call it art
Let the best parts play their
part

I’m narcissistic, I know that
Talk my talk, I back that
Too much sauce, can’t hide that
Main character, that’s all facts
I’m narcissistic, I know that
What I say, I back that
Walk in clean, all eyes snap
Big ego, no shame in that

Say less, nah, I was built say
more
One step in, now the floor a
runway floor
Every flaw dressed up
designer-made
I make bad habits look couture
and trained
Not conceited, just correctly
rated
Top-tier posture, well calibrated
I say my bad with elite composure
Even my guilt need VIP closure
Self-image bright like camera
flash
Talk too smooth, let the whole
room crash
You call it a lot, I call it
refined
You call it too much, I call it
design
I roast myself and still steal
the scene
Self-aware flex in high
definition
If I throw one look, that’s a
photo op
Even my silence make the whole
room stop
Whole lotta charm with a petty
edge
I can turn self-love to a
business pledge
If I seem too polished, that is
true
I make overkill look responsible
too

I know I’m a lot, but I wear that
clean
Every flaw framed like a magazine
Talk my talk, then I back that up
No one this proud should be this
cut
Little dramatic, little refined
Little too pretty to stand in
line
If I’m doing the most, let it be
known
I’d rather shine too hard than
shrink my tone

I’m narcissistic, I know that
Talk my talk, I back that
Too much sauce, can’t hide that
Main character, that’s all facts
I’m narcissistic, I know that
What I say, I back that
Walk in clean, all eyes snap
Big ego, no shame in that

But let’s be honest, this ain’t
fully me
This just the version that feel
safest for people to see
I built him piece by piece, made
him sharp, made him clean
Made him loud enough to cover
what I really mean
Some of that pride real, I won’t
lie for effect
But some of that ego is damage
dressed as self-respect
Some of that flex is fear with
good posture
Pain in nice clothes, standing up
straighter
I talk like I’m solid, like
nothing can move me
Cause saying I’m hurt still feel
weak to me
So I make it sound funny, I make
it look cool
Turn my cracks to charisma, make
trauma look smooth
But when it gets quiet, all that
shine disappear
And I’m left with myself and the
things I still hear
No crowd, no pose, no mirror, no bit
Just me and the truth and how
hard I avoid it
So if I act perfect, that’s not
all a lie
It’s me building a mask just to
stay alive
