Intro Yeah… Lights on, phone up… let’s go. Verse 1 Mirror on the wall got a filter face, Rent due soon but I’m flexin’ lace. Mama said “girl, find a better way”, But the bills don’t care what your prayers say. Flash that smile for a quick escape, Every heart in the chat wanna take my shape. They don’t see the nights I’m wide awake, Countin’ tips while my soul feels fake. Pre-Chorus They love the skin, never ask my name, Click so fast but they miss my pain. Got a thousand eyes, still I feel unseen, Livin’ for a crowd that I’ve never met. Chorus / Hook Make it rain online, let it pour downtown, They cheer for the body, never hear the sound. Laugh in the chat, but I’m breaking down, Big bag life on OnlyFrowns. Golden on the feed, but my heart goes brown, All these fake “I love you”s dragging me down. Smile for the pic while I slowly drown, Yeah, big bag life on OnlyFrowns. Verse 2 Designer dreams on a budget soul, Trade my peace just to reach that goal. Every sub got a piece of me, Funny how they buy what I used to be. Friends say “girl, you’re a star right now”, But stars burn out if they shine too loud. When the Wi-Fi dies and the room goes dark, Ain’t no likes gonna fix this heart. Pre-Chorus They love the view, never stay too long, When the show is done, they’re already gone. Got a million words but I bite my tongue, ‘Cause pain don’t sell if it ain’t in fun. Chorus / Hook Make it rain online, let it pour downtown, They cheer for the body, never hear the sound. Laugh in the chat, but I’m breaking down, Big bag life on OnlyFrowns. Golden on the feed, but my heart goes brown, All these fake “I love you”s dragging me down. Smile for the pic while I slowly drown, Yeah, big bag life on OnlyFrowns. Bridge If I log out, will I still exist? Without the crown, without the hits? Is there more than this rented glow, Or am I stuck in a one-way show? Pray for a door, pray for a sign, ‘Fore I sell what’s left of this heart of mine. Break (half beat) No camera… no crowd… just me. Final Chorus Make it rain online, let it pour downtown, They love what they see, never what I found. Laugh in the chat, but I’m breaking down, Big bag life on OnlyFrowns. Built this throne on a shaky ground, Every gold coin got a hollow sound. Smile for the world while I’m falling down, Yeah… welcome to OnlyFrowns. Outro Lights off… phone down. Who am I now?
