NPC

Yeah, look at all these NPCs
Runnin' the same three lines
Wave hello and watch 'em freeze
Main character online

Look around the room and it's a lobby full of bots
Same three sentences, recycling they thoughts
Dialogue tree, only got the one reply
Wave at 'em real nice and watch 'em buffer, watch 'em lag and cry
I been coded different, main character, no cap
Every scene I walk in got a soundtrack and a map
You respawn at the same spot every single day
I'm out here leveling, you stuck on the tutorial, hey

You're just an NPC, background of the frame
Same lines on a loop, and it's always the same
I got the aura, I got the plot, I got the quest
You're just an NPC; I'm the main character, yes

Programmed for the small talk, nice weather, how's the kids
Same loop, same script, keep it locked on the grid
I press X, you repeat, then you turn and walk away
No free will in the code, just a canned little play
Me? I'm improvising, I don't run on a track
Side quests for breakfast, never looping back
Skibidi little side-guy in a crowd that all agrees
Wave goodbye to the extras, they're just NPCs

You're just an NPC, background of the frame
Same lines on a loop, and it's always the same
I got the aura, I got the plot, I got the quest
You're just an NPC; I'm the main character, yes

You a background extra, blurry in the shot
Reading the same cue card, it's the only one you got
Have a nice day, traveler, bro, is that all you say
I been the main quest since the tutorial, all day
You clap on a trigger, laugh on a delay
Preset little side-guy, I don't render you okay
Zero-aura energy, sponsored by the crowd
Standing where they left you, I'm the reason it's loud

You're just an NPC, background of the frame
Same lines on a loop, and it's always the same
I got the aura, I got the plot, I got the quest
You're just an NPC; I'm the main character, yes

No shade, somebody gotta fill the crowd
Somebody gotta clap for the hero, nice and loud
Somebody gotta stand there looking pretty in the back
While the main character stays locked in on track

You're just an NPC, background of the frame
Same lines on a loop, and it's always the same
I got the aura, I got the plot, I got the quest
You're just an NPC; I'm the main character, yes

Beep boop, nice to meet you
Beep boop, how's the weather
Beep boop, have a nice day
NPC, powering down
Me? I'm the main character
