WHEN THE SCAPEGOAT ESCAPES- ORIGINAL SONG

THE G.O.A.T ANTHEM

[Verse 1]

You’ve been dustin’ off old pages,


Rewriting every scene.


You keep tweaking past chapters,


I keep rewriting destiny.


You’ve been riflin’ through the records,


Redacting every storyline.


You keep polishing old memories,


Like you’re burnishing a crime.

[Verse 2]

You’ve been editing the archives,

Footnotes dripping with deceit.

Swapping saints for sudden sinners,

Writing guilt between the beats.

But the past ain’t yours to doctor,

The proof is in the climb.

Your scapegoat wrote a comeback,

Right between your crooked lines.

[Pre-Chorus]

Yes, revisions lose their power

When confronted face-to-face,

And the goat you tried to scapegoat

Became the G.O.A.T. anyway.

[Chorus]

When the scapegoat escapes,


Tell me, who will you break?


Who’s left for you to remake,


Spin, rewrite, fabricate?


All your negates


And backdated debates,


Doll, none of that plays


When the truth levitates.

’Cause your rewrite of grace


Ain’t deciding my fate,


And I won’t stay in this space


Where your blame leaves a trace.


So, go twist, go inflate.


I’m done carrying your weight.


Yeah, the whole world awakes


When the scapegoat escapes.

[Verse 3]

You’ve been digging up old bones


Just to dress 'em in new clothes.


You change parts, recompose,


Till truth starts to decompose.


You resurrect old beginnings,


Just to twist ’em out of shape,


But, babe, history gets shaky


When the scapegoat finally escapes.

[Pre-Chorus]

Yes, revisions lose their power

When confronted face-to-face,

And the goat you tried to scapegoat

Became the G.O.A.T. anyway.

[Chorus ]

When the scapegoat escapes,


Tell me, who will you break?


Who’s left for you to remake,


Spin, rewrite, fabricate?


All your negates


And backdated debates,


Doll, none of that plays


When the truth levitates.

’Cause your rewrite of grace


Ain’t deciding my fate,


And I won’t stay in this space


Where your blame leaves a trace.


So, go twist, go inflate.


I’m done carrying your weight.


Yeah, the whole world awakes


When the scapegoat escapes.

When the scapegoat escapes.
