[Verse 1]
They built another website overnight,
Put Wall Street pictures underneath the lights,
A shiny little logo, a certificate too,
A man you've never met says, “I've got something for you.”

“Don't worry about trading, we've got experts inside,
Just follow the signals, come along for the ride,
Deposit your crypto, we'll handle the rest,
Our artificial genius only picks the best.”

They've got SEC written all over the screen,
FINRA and FinCEN to make it look clean,
But registration doesn't mean what they say,
And somehow that detail gets hidden away.

[Pre-Chorus]
If the money was easy,
If the profits were free,
Why would some stranger
Need an investment from me?

[Chorus]
Wake up before you pay up,
Learn before you lose,
A fancy little dashboard
Doesn't make the numbers true.

Wake up before you pay up,
Ask who holds the cash,
Because the next amazing opportunity
Could be the same old scam.

New logo, new website,
New professor with a plan,
But education is the weapon
That can stop it where it stands.

[Verse 2]
“Follow our analysts — easy profits!” they say,
“Unlimited potential!” — what could go astray?
Professional traders with incredible gains,
But ask for their credentials and nobody explains.

Your balance keeps climbing, you're feeling alive,
Ten becomes twenty, then twenty becomes five—
Hundred thousand dollars glowing on your phone,
But try taking it out and suddenly you're alone.

“Pay another tax.”
“Your account has been frozen.”
“Upgrade to VIP.”
“Your withdrawal wasn't chosen.”

Funny how the problems only start to appear
When you stop sending money and try getting it here.

[Chorus]
Wake up before you pay up,
Learn before you lose,
A fancy little dashboard
Doesn't make the numbers true.

Wake up before you pay up,
Ask who holds the cash,
Because the next amazing opportunity
Could be the same old scam.

New logo, new website,
New professor with a plan,
But education is the weapon
That can stop it where it stands.

[Verse 3]
They show you a certificate, framed up nice,
Because official-looking paper has a psychological price,
Colorado corporation — “See, we're legitimate!”
But registering a company doesn't validate an investment.

Then comes the alphabet marching in line:
SEC, FINRA, MSB — everything looks fine,
Until somebody bothers to check what they mean,
And the regulatory story isn't quite what it seemed.

One page says they're regulated,
Another says “underway,”
One says leverage comes tomorrow,
Another sells it today.

And buried in the contract, for everyone to see:
“Governed by the laws of...
[for example: Delaware], maybe?”

[Breakdown]
Wait.

They forgot to finish the template.

But you want me to send them my Bitcoin?

[Heavy Chorus]
WAKE UP BEFORE YOU PAY UP!
CHECK BEFORE YOU SEND!
DON'T LET A WHATSAPP STRANGER
BECOME YOUR FINANCIAL FRIEND!

WAKE UP BEFORE YOU PAY UP!
QUESTION EVERY CLAIM!
THE WEBSITE MAY BE DIFFERENT,
BUT WE'VE SEEN THIS BLOODY GAME!

Different company!
Different coin!
Different “expert”!
Different name!

Same greed.
Same pressure.
Same bloody game.

[Bridge]
Stop asking,
“How much can I make?”

Start asking,
“How can I verify it?”

Who owns the company?
Who holds the funds?
Who executes the trades?
Where does the crypto run?

Can I verify the broker?
Can I verify the shares?
Can I withdraw my money
Without paying something else?

Don't show me screenshots.
Don't show me your mate got paid.
Don't show me numbers on an app
That somebody else has made.

Show me evidence.

[Verse 4]
Because yesterday was BG Wealth,
Tomorrow something new,
Same promises recycled
For another trusting crew.

They'll change the website address,
They'll change the token name,
They'll find another “professor”
And restart the bloody game.

And every time it collapses,
Someone says, “How could we know?”
But the warning signs were screaming
Long before the money flowed.

We cannot stop every scammer,
We cannot close every door,
But we can make their job much harder
Than it ever was before.

[Final Chorus]
Wake up before you pay up,
Learn before you lose,
Nobody gets to pressure you
Into something you can't prove.

**Wake up before you pay up,
Teach your family too,
Because scammers lose their power
When their victims know the clues.

New logo, new website,
Let them dress it how they can—

An educated investor
Is a nightmare for a scam.

[Outro]
Before you invest...

Check the company.
Check the regulator.
Check the people.
Check the money.

And if somebody promises
easy profits with almost no effort...

Don't ask how quickly you can get in.

Ask why they're so desperate to get you in.
