Nike
[Verse 1]
I sit at the table, while you all laugh about me
I hear the things that you say, the "weird kid" that no one wants to be near
You think you're so coy and slick
You think you got away with it
And I let you think that, I let you think that

[Verse 2]
But little do you know, you're not the first ones to discount me
(Hmm) It's been a lifetime of pretty faces and ugly hearts underneath
So I'm silent as you celebrate
I even throw a smile your way
'Cause I'm waiting on the last laugh, oh, the last laugh

[Chorus]
I don't like to get on my soapbox
The day is coming that you'll be outfoxed
You judged this wrong
Yеah, you messed this up
'Cause onе day, you're at a bar in your hometown
I come on TV wearing a red gown
It hits you then
That your biggest flex is that you knew me
(Mmm)

[Verse 3]
While you stay in place, I rise like I'm Nike
I know that I'm bitter
(But after what you put me through, I will let myself be)
As these things have a winner, and I'm gonna make sure it's me
(Me, me, me, me)
[Verse 4]
And did you think that you threw me off?
That I don't already know I'm odd?
(Who cares?)
Yeah, the papers are gonna say "the girl is weird
But boy, can the girl write a fucking song"

[Chorus]
'Cause if you think it's war that you're brewing
I hate to say, you don't know what you're doing
You judged me wrong
Yeah, you messed this up
'Cause one day, you'll write and ask for a favor
And my silence cuts like a razor
It hits you then
That your big regret is that you knew me
(Mmm)

[Outro]
While you stay in place, I rise like I'm (Ni-, Ni-, Ni-, Ni-)
Nike's bust came to the Louvre broken
Years to assemble, now it's their token
You're short-sighted, so misguided
Yeah, Nike's bust came to the Louvre broken
Years to assemble, now it's their token
Single-minded, hope you don't mind it
That it's the end of your run, now
My sun rises, you're stuck in sundown
I hope it stings to hear me sing (Sing)
You'll read through my lyrics like it's a password
'Cause I always manage the last word
Hmm
