Yo, listen up, here's a story that's quite tragic
'Bout folks livin' large, but it's all just magic
Flashin' brands and bling, they step out with swagger
But check the bank account, and it's just a stagger
Rollin' in a Benz, but the lease is tight
Wearing Gucci belts, but something ain't right
Droppin' cash on jewels, they sparkle and gleam
But it's all on credit, if you know what I mean

They're chasing clout, but it's all for show
Buying things they can't afford, just to let you know
They want that status, want that fame
But in the end, it's just a losing game

Sippin' on champagne, but the rent's overdue
Talkin' 'bout trips to places they never flew
Got the latest tech, but it's all a facade
'Cause deep down inside, they're just playin' a charade
They're livin' a dream, but it's all a mirage
Chasin' after status, it's a full-on barrage
Designer threads, but the tags still on
'Cause they're goin' back to the store by the break of dawn

They're chasing clout, but it's all for show
Buying things they can't afford, just to let you know
They want that status, want that fame
But in the end, it's just a losing game

Big house parties, but the fridge is empty
All for the 'Gram, but in reality, it's just a bumpy
They talk a big game, say money ain't a thing
But when the bill comes, it's a different kind of sting
Flashy watches, but time's runnin' out
To keep up appearances, they're filled with doubt
It's a cycle of spend, but where's the wealth?
True richness is in happiness and health

They're chasing clout, but it's all for show
Buying things they can't afford, just to let you know
They want that status, want that fame
But in the end, it's just a losing game
