[Verse 1] Tommy's portfolio gleamed emerald last quarter Every stock pick struck gold, he felt invincible Called himself the market's fortune teller But September's crimson tide swept his kingdom down Now he swears he saw the crash approaching Rewrites his diary with phantom warnings [Chorus] Overconfidence whispers "you're the chosen one" Hindsight paints the past with knowing brush strokes Two-faced mirror tricks your trading mind Remember when you thought you were divine But yesterday's clarity was never really there Beware the bias pair that costs you everywhere [Verse 2] Sarah trades with laser-sharp precision Never doubts her research or her timing Doubles down when markets start their bleeding Her crystal ball reflects her own reflection Three losses later, she recalls the signals Claims she hesitated, almost pulled the trigger [Chorus] Overconfidence whispers "you're the chosen one" Hindsight paints the past with knowing brush strokes Two-faced mirror tricks your trading mind Remember when you thought you were divine But yesterday's clarity was never really there Beware the bias pair that costs you everywhere [Bridge] Document decisions while you make them Capture reasoning before results arrive Question every streak of golden victories Humility saves portfolios alive The rearview mirror lies about the journey What felt uncertain becomes crystal memory [Verse 3] Markets humble every sage and prophet No one owns tomorrow's stock performance Write your rationale in permanent ink Before you know if bets will pay dividends The mind rewrites its stumbling narratives Makes coincidence look like clairvoyance [Chorus] Overconfidence whispers "you're the chosen one" Hindsight paints the past with knowing brush strokes Two-faced mirror tricks your trading mind Remember when you thought you were divine But yesterday's clarity was never really there Beware the bias pair that costs you everywhere [Outro] Check your swagger at the trading door Yesterday's prophet, tomorrow's amateur
