I booked the smallest room and they sent no one
My demo fell through cracks and still weighed a ton
I etched my name on plastic cups beside the sink
The whole crowd checked their phones, they didn't even blink
No offer ever came, no call, no ping
I practiced every riff until the strings would ring
I wore my heavy coat through the whole year
The building knew my face but not my name here
I knew the sound was gold, they called it noise
But doubting me was cheap, that was their choice
I sharpened every hook and built my own
The silence was my boost, I stood alone
They used to scroll right past my name, now they press play
Now everyone who passed me wants to have a say
The cash began to circle in the bay
I'm number one on every list today
The velvet rope drops
They slide their cards across my desk
I know my worth was never up for debate
I smile when they pretend they saw my fate
I don't need the hype
They treat my name like gold when I walk by
I give them just a glance, they multiply
The ones who laughed now ask about my sky
Yeah that's right
They ask me for the secrets that I kept
I tell them I was busy when they slept
The boardroom that ignored me rings my phone
They say they always knew I'd find a home
The red flags turn to banners in the square
The investors wave and call me over there
I'm still that quiet kid who wrote in the car
Except I own the building and the bar
They put my face on posters by the gate
I used to wait in line, now I set the rate
The silence turned to numbers in my screen
I built the castle from the chips unseen
Now every door I touch swings open on its own
The ones who used to judge now beg to share the throne
I keep my quiet pace and my routine
The numbers talk, I just remain serene
The velvet rope drops
They slide their cards across my desk
I don't need anyone to validate
I turned their no's and whys into my estate
The vault is all mine
They queue up at the door and form a line
I take the offers only when I'm fine
The offers stack like floors in a skyline
Oh so fine
