Hi Jaefer,
Maybe that approach may work for other apps, but not in Figma. They exist as separate objects in Figma, so you can add a text layer above the rectangle layer.

Alternatively, you can convert the text layer into an auto layout by pressing Shift + A. That way, you can add a background fill to make it appear as a text within a rectangle.
