[Verse 1] I woke up viral, ten-K in a night, Cat memes and hot takes, burnin’ up the light. Now I post gold and the timeline just shrugs, Hundred views if the wind blows, maybe a couple likes from friends. [Chorus] Oh, the algorithm got me down on my knees, Used to ride that wave, now I’m lost in the seas. “Elon fixed it, trust me bro,” that’s the lie they sell, But my dreams stay buried in the shadow-ban hell. [Verse 2] I thread like a prophet, twelve slides of pure fire, Truth bombs and dad jokes, still stuck in the mire. Blue-check ghosts float by with their recycled lines, While my notifications starve like forgotten vines. [Chorus] Yeah, the algorithm got me down on my knees, Used to ride that wave, now I’m lost in the seas. “Elon fixed it, trust me bro,” echo in the dark, But my reach is a whisper, can’t even leave a spark. [Bridge] I paid for the check, I danced for the bot, Hashtagged my soul, still connectin’ no dots. They say “post at 3 a.m., engage every reply,” I’m a ghost in my own feed, watchin’ legends fly by. [Verse 3] Remember the summer when likes rained like confetti? Now I screenshot crickets, frame ’em—call it petty. Every creator I know sings the same damn tune, We’re blues in the timeline, howlin’ at a coded moon. [Final Chorus] Yeah, the algorithm got us down on our knees, We rode that wave once, now we beg in the breeze. “Elon fixed it, trust me bro,” we laugh through the pain, [DROP] But tomorrow we’ll post—’cause creators remain. [BRIDGE, Joseph M Lenard remix addition] Fix the X-spaces, can't do those, take a hatchet to the Communities, those get hosed. Algos got no rhythm Too bad, don't bug me bro. Pay for Premium, like just flaming cash X has become a real pain-in-the-ass [Outro] Trust me bro… (laughs into silence) Trust me bro… [H/T to @uschuck83 for the original. I could not keep myself from remix (aka: Algorithm Injustice) chance. Quasi blends with my ONLINE CHAOS (extended online chaos v2) vibe connectivity and HASHTAGS IN MY HEAD in my parody playlist as well as AutoBiographical TOO MUCH TIME ONLINE song. Added additional BRIDGE before OUTRO. I call this alternatively ALGO GOT NO RHYTHM (or Algo Gone Loco) Joseph M Lenard (author/podcaster). related: https://x.com/JLenardMichigan/status/2047154239177175077 ]
