Delulu Works (Sometimes)
Track 8 of Boundary Era
[ Lyrics ]
Delulu works when I work too. Delulu works when I work too. Saw my life in a vision—me in Paris with a dog I don’t own, Prada heels on the pavement, singing songs that aren’t mine… yet alone. Wrote my name in the clouds, then checked my email—three meetings, a bill, But I left a voicemail for the universe: *‘I’m still standing—give me the thrill.’* I don’t wait on permission, I create my own scenes, Manifest a feast while I’m living on dreams and ramen. They say, ‘Be realistic,’ I say, ‘Watch me bloom,’ So I dressed up my delusion and called it *main character resume.’ I light a candle for confidence, fake it ‘til it’s true, Wear my hopes like heels—slightly too tight, but they’re moving me through. It’s not crazy, it’s strategy, sugar-coated pursuit— I’m not lost, I’m plotting… with a vision board and good roots. Delulu works when I work too, Dreams don’t land if I don’t pursue. Delulu works when I work too, I’ll manifest it—then make it do. Told my mirror I’m iconic—she blinked twice, then she concurred, Said, ‘Your aura’s been rising, and your energy’s heard.’ I booked a flight for December—staying local, but styled like escape, Wore my confidence loud while I folded my laundry and debated my fate. I talk to my plants like they’re publicists, tell my cat I’m a star, He yawns, but I take it as praise—after all, he’s not wrong by far. I rehearse my acceptance speech while I’m brushing my teeth, Grammy or gas station award—I’ll accept it with ease. I don’t need a guarantee, just a glimmer, a spark, I’ll fan it with discipline, wear ambition like art. No delusion without motion—can’t manifest while I’m still, So I hustle in heels and I climb every hill. They don’t see the spreadsheets, The affirmations I speak in the dark, The mornings I cried then pulled on my vision, The plans I align like a spark. But I know what I’m worth— Even if it sounds absurd. Delulu works when I work too, Dreams don’t land if I don’t pursue. Delulu works when I work too, I’ll manifest it—then make it proud. Delulu! Delulu! Delulu works—when I work too! Delulu works… When I work too.
