Lyrics
[Verse 1] Phone face down, room on mute, News crawl begging for a substitute. Green room TV preaching play-by-play, I got a heartbeat mix and a better way. Every open tab says “prove you belong,” I close them all and turn up one song. If the world needs volume just to feel proud, I’ll set my feet and make the quiet loud. [Pre-Chorus] Count me in—one, two—cut the static out, If you’ve got something honest, say it now. [Chorus] I hit noise cancellation—now I hear me loud, Turn the city down to a single vow. If you want my attention, say it proud, I hit noise cancellation—I hear me now. No more pleading with a crowded cloud— Flip the switch, and watch the signal crowd. [Post-Chorus] Cancel—noise. / Boost—voice. Cancel—noise. / Boost—voice. [Verse 2] DM pressure from a friendly brand, “Make the verse less you,” bold demand. A&R notes in a midnight file, I underline no with a steady smile. Algorithm knocking like a neighbor’s drum, I don’t owe the timeline overtime. If it needs a filter just to land as truth, It isn’t truth—just something dressed as proof. [Pre-Chorus] Count me in—one, two—cut the static out, If you’ve got something honest, say it now. [Chorus] I hit noise cancellation—now I hear me loud, Turn the city down to a single vow. If you want my attention, say it proud, I hit noise cancellation—I hear me now. No more pleading with a crowded cloud— Flip the switch, and watch the signal crowd. [Bridge] Mute the rumor, leave the pulse, Fade the shimmer, keep the hull. I won’t bend into your faders, I’m a signal, not a trend you can tailor. If the room can’t stand the truth at zero, Turn the lies down—watch the truth go hero. [Final Chorus] I hit noise cancellation—now I hear me loud, Hands on heart like a stadium crowd. If you want my attention, say it proud, I hit noise cancellation—I hear me now. No permission slip, no borrowed mouth— Flip the switch and feel the feedback bow. [Tag] Speak it clean—or speak it later. Speak it clean—or speak it later.
