[Verse 1] I uploaded my song at eleven p.m. The race is on, should I upload it again A thousand songs drop every minute A label with a checkbook's gonna win it They don't need talent, up there in the cloud Put 'em on the playlist, send them a crowd I'm static on a server, not moving along Yelling out loud, hey, where's my song [Pre-Chorus] So how will someone hear me If plays are up for sale Will anyone here see me Or am I just meant to fail [Chorus] Spotify, say my name Don’t leave me crying in the pouring rain One click they move on, one scroll and I’m gone Spotify, don't lead me on I'm dying here, you've known it all along I’ve got the hook, I’ve got the sound Give me a chance so I can turn this around [Verse 2] Yeah, the robots write songs now, everybody's nervous But nobody's streaming them, nobody’s listening I sit here in a room full of guitars Writing demos, dead strings, reaching for stars I love this song, every line in the lyrics I know it's kind of rough, but will they ever hear it It’s not AI drowning out my song It’s so many of us and they keep moving along [Pre-Chorus] So how will someone hear me If plays are up for sale Will anyone here see me Or am I just meant to fail [Chorus] Spotify, say my name Don’t leave me crying in the pouring rain One click they move on, one scroll and I’m gone Spotify, don't lead me on I'm dying here, you've known it all along I’ve got the hook, I’ve got the sound Give me a chance so I can turn this around [Bridge] Maybe it was never meant to be Am I'm just floating out to sea Maybe it was always who you know Maybe the game is just pure luck And I’m not asking if you give a fuck One day these walls are gonna fall You won't care at all [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Spotify, say my name Don’t leave me crying in the pouring rain One click they move on, one scroll and I’m gone Spotify, don't lead me on I'm dying here, you've known it all along I’ve got the hook, I’ve got the sound Give me a chance so I can turn this around [Outro] Zero plays... zero streams... Just a song in the machine Locked out, left behind Spotify... I'm not blind
