Stupid Filter

[Verse 1] Head down, walkin' in, hands sweaty on the door Got a new track finished, something I ain’t made before Got the low-end perfect, got the pulse sittin’ low Gonna hit the playback, wait for that proud flow. [Pre-Chorus] I say, "Baby, listen, check the new sound, check the mood." You don’t drop the tablet, don’t even finish your food. You turn your head slowly, give the side-eye glance Then you hit me with the phrase that kills the whole damn dance. [Chorus] "Stupid." That’s the filter you put over my success. Takes my high achievement, strips it down to nothing less. I show you my highlight reel, you just show me the door You drain the damn power from everything I f***t for. [Verse 2] Last week, my gaming crew, we finished a whole story arc I told you about the dragon, standing there in the dark. I was the Master, running 40 hours of lore Felt like a genius, man, finally settling the score. [Pre-Chorus] Your only comment back, while looking at the sink: "Honestly, that whole thing just seems stupid, don’t you think?" It ain’t the game I’m selling, it’s the passion in my chest It’s a little piece of me, trying to pass your damn test. [Chorus] "Stupid." That’s the filter you put over my success. Takes my high achievement, strips it down to nothing less. I show you my highlight reel, you just show me the door You drain the damn power from everything I f***t for. [Bridge] I need my partner, my teammate, not a constant critic there I’m putting out my vulnerability, and you just don’t care. I could fail on my own, I don’t need your help to fall I just need you to listen, and try to respect the call. [Outro] Stupid. (Whispered, with heavy delay) I try. You just say stupid. I win. You just say stupid.
