No Invite

[Intro]
[Verse]
Scrawling lines on a greasy receipt
Night bus hum with the rhythm in my feet
E3 chill but the bars got heat
Blue light flickering, no retreat
I was writing hooks in the back of the class
While the industry snakes were cutting the grass
Now the sub bass vibrates through the glass
Watch the local girl take the fast pass
[Pre-Chorus]
Mic check one, two, hear the feedback roar
From the back of the shop to the venue floor
Static in the air, yeah they want some more
Knocking till I’m kicking down the heavy door
[Chorus]
I didn’t need an invite to the party
Started in the basement, now I’m hardly
Ever at the bus stop, looking for a ride
I’m the main event, yeah I’ve turned the tide
Own the crown, keep the pride
Nowhere left for you to hide
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah I’m the main event
Every penny well spent
Yeah I’m the main event
No invite, no consent
[Verse]
Suit and tie guys checking out the data
Used to ignore me, now they wanna cater
“Sign on the line”, yeah I’ll see you later
I’m my own boss, my own creator
You wanted plastic, I gave you the grit
You wanted polished, I stayed in the pit
Now the viral clip is a global hit
And your gatekeeper keys don't even fit
[Pre-Chorus]
Mic check one, two, hear the feedback roar
From the back of the shop to the venue floor
Static in the air, yeah they want some more
Knocking till I’m kicking down the heavy door
[Chorus]
I didn’t need an invite to the party
Started in the basement, now I’m hardly
Ever at the bus stop, looking for a ride
I’m the main event, yeah I’ve turned the tide
Own the crown, keep the pride
Nowhere left for you to hide
[Bridge]
Sub bass shaking up the concrete slab
Glitch in the system, take what I can grab
Fast talk, sharp walk, never being drab
From the open mic to the taxi cab
One take, no mistake, watch the record break
Everything I have is everything I make
I’m the real deal, you’re the lucky fake
Feel the earth move, feel the city quake
[Breakdown]
(Glitchy synth solo)
(Heavy distorted bass drop)
Check the flow
Check the stats
We don't talk to the rats
[Verse]
Upload, download, watch the numbers climb
Trading every second for a golden rhyme
Basement sweat, yeah it’s about time
Turning every penny to a silver dime
From the rainy street to the neon glow
This is my world, this is my show
If you didn't know then, now you know
Watch the fire in the F minor grow
[Chorus]
I didn’t need an invite to the party
Started in the basement, now I’m hardly
Ever at the bus stop, looking for a ride
I’m the main event, yeah I’ve turned the tide
Own the crown, keep the pride
Nowhere left for you to hide
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah I’m the main event
Every penny well spent
Yeah I’m the main event
No invite, no consent
[Outro]
