lirik lagu k-cipher - golden cage

[taylor swift ~ intro & verse 1]
(a bright, clean acoustic guitar and light synth lead the track)
i remember the skyline from the window of a greyhound bus
it looked like a promise back then, shining just for us
we were sixteen, maybe seventeen, sketching names on a dirty glass pane
wishing on a star that knew nothing about the pouring rain
now the view is different, they built the walls so high
and the spotlight’s a perfect circle that follows you into the sky
i got the key to the city, but the locks are all on the inside. (oh, isn’t that nice?)
this velvet life, this gilded truth… where exactly can i hide?

[taylor swift ~ chorus]
welcome to the top floor, where the silence is so loud
you can wave to the people but you can’t escape the crowd
they polished the bars until they shimmered like gold leaf
gave me everything i wanted, gave me endless grief
it’s a golden cage, honey, perfectly constructed
the most beautiful prison—totally un0bstructed
i’m singing through the wire mesh, hoping someone hears the plea
i thought i flew away, but the cage just followed me. (it followed me)

[k~cipher ~ verse 2]
(beat drops harder, synth bassline takes over. k~cipher enters with a sharp, narrative flow)
yo, i’m standing on the pavement, looking up at the penthouse suite. (uh~huh)
they call my block a dungeon, but at least the bars are concrete
you talk about a cage that’s shining; mine was stained with rust
fighting just to breathe the air, tryna turn the dirt to trust
my perspective is parallel, we’re both trapped in the optics
you’re boxed in by the velvet rope, i’m caged by the toxic
cycle of the poverty that keeps the dreams on ice
the price of admission is your identity—you pay it twice
they cheer for the teen rapper, the story of the escape artist
but they don’t see the blueprint, the hunger that’s the sharpest
taylor, your walls are crystal, mine were cinder block and grime
but the common denominator? we’re both running out of time. (running out)
[taylor swift ~ chorus]
welcome to the top floor, where the silence is so loud
you can wave to the people but you can’t escape the crowd. (no, you can’t)
they polished the bars until they shimmered like gold leaf
gave me everything i wanted, gave me endless grief
it’s a golden cage, honey, perfectly constructed
the most beautiful prison—totally un0bstructed
i’m singing through the wire mesh, hoping someone hears the plea
i thought i flew away, but the cage just followed me

[bridge ~ duet: k~cipher & taylor swift]
k~cipher: the freedom’s a mirage, the success is just a disguise. (it’s a lie)
taylor swift: we bought the fairytale, now we’re paying for the surprise. (ooh, that hurt)
k~cipher: they want the show, they want the flaw, the drama and the hype
taylor swift: but all i want is that simple bench under the street light
both: we trade one cage for another, trading grit for the gleam
we’re living the high~res version of a broken, beautiful dream

[k~cipher ~ outro]
yeah… the price of the ticket, man
the chronicles of the caged bird… chapter six
doesn’t matter if the bars are gold or iron, a lock is still a lock. (checkmate)
we just learned how to rap from the inside out
(it’s true.)
