Nepo baby
Hayley Monroe
Hayley Monroe woke up after the
morning rush Another day starting late,
but she calls it taking time
Coffee on the balcony watching the
city below Everybody chasing dreams while
she's moving slow Her phone’s full
of numbers she’ll never have to
call Her last name opens every
door in the hall Designer on
the floor,
sunlight through the glass Another day
where the future looks just like
the past The ‘gram lighting up
all her hypocrite fans But she's
unbothered by the ringer,
she's gotta work on her tan
No lines on her body only
lines from her credit Every kind
of girl you bash with others
on a private Reddit Six floors
above everybody still couldn’t see the
ground Sleep sleep sleep sleeps like
a baby rich walls drown out
poor sound City keeps on spinning
while she's slowing down Thinks the
world stops moving when she finally
comes around
Nepo baby living like the world's
your stage Everybody else is just
a name on a page You
got a head start and still
running in place Wearing someone else’s
crown like you earned your place
Nepo baby you don't hear the
city cry Too busy counting blessings
that were never yours to find
Six floors high but you're still
looking down The world keeps moving
while you're waiting for the crowd
Hayley Monroe got a name that
opens every gate Never had to
prove herself,
just had to show up late
Graduated with a picture and a
story to tell Everyone says she
made it but nobody knows how
well Daddy's friends became the stepping
stone she walked across Called it
independence, never counted what it cost
She's got a million followers but
nobody knows her name Just a
million different strangers feeding into the
fame Every room she enters everybody
knows the script Compliments and handshakes
but they're all a little stiff
She's surrounded by a crowd that
disappears when she falls Funny how
the loudest cheers don't echo through
the wall She's got everything they
told her she should want
But nobody ever asked and others
just taunt Built a castle out
of things she didn't choose Now
she's staring out the window but
can't see their point of view
Nepo baby living like the world's
your stage Everybody else is just
a name on a page You
got a head start and still
running in place Wearing someone else’s
crown like you earned your place
Nepo baby you don't hear the
city cry Too busy counting blessings
that were never yours to find
Six floors high but you're still
looking down The world keeps moving
while you're waiting for the crowd
She watches the world from behind
tinted glass Never sees the people
that she's leaving in the past
Another name another face another number
on her phone Another person she
forgets the second that they're gone
This city could fall apart and
she'd never notice the sound
As long as her reflection is
still staring back around
Six floors above everybody
comfortable and proud
She doesn't hate the world
She just never looks down
Nepo baby living like the world's
your stage Everybody else is just
a name on a page You
got a head start and still
running in place Wearing someone else’s
crown like you earned your place
Nepo baby you don't hear the
city cry Too busy counting blessings
that were never yours to find
Six floors high but you're still
looking down The world keeps moving
while you're waiting for the crowd
