The Reckoning is Here

part 2

By Forest GreenPublished about 3 hours ago 1 min read

You claim you’ve “made a difference,” yet your philanthropy’s just a vanity

The streets hear you whisper “P. Diddy,” but they mute you when you try to sway

Your swagger’s a costume, stitched from old trends that can’t keep up with real dudes

You pop champagne in empty rooms, while the real hustlers grind on a real day

You call yourself “the king of hip‑hop,” but your crown’s forged from counterfeit dimes

Every headline you chase is a billboard, a flash that dims before the night’s blaze

You’re a brand extension, a product placement, a fad that’s losing its sense

The game you think you own is a pawn, and you’re stuck in a loop you can’t even pay

You’ve sold your name to suits, now you’re a mascot for a corporate sentence

Yet no one’s listening when you mumble, because the beat you ride never hits, okay

You brag about “the throne,” but you’re just a court jester with cracked smiles

Your legacy’s a slideshow of Photoshop, a glitch in the system that won’t go away

So take a seat, Diddy, watch the real ones rise while you count stale miles

The final hook? Silence, because even your echo can’t survive this savage slay
