[Intro] [staccato synth riff, record scratch] [vocal chop: down, down, down, down...] [kick drum enters] IiId1ky411 In the stream, stream, stream, stream [full drums and bass enter] Push, push thru the cold Never fold, never sold Push, push, You don't know where this goes Never, never, never, never, never [Chorus] [heavy bass, driving beat] Never, never, never, never (don't stop) [soft spoken/whisper] [Verse 1] [male rap vocals] They told you work hard, play by the rules, stay small Built the whole pyramid, never once got the call The system wasn't broken, it worked as designed Keep the bottom paying rent while the top dining fine Ninety percent of the wealth in the hands of the few And they sell you the dream like it's something you're born to pursue But the gate's always locked when you ain't got the key Push, push, I don't beg for a seat, I just leave Push, push, facts don't lie Kush, push, watch the truth get high Don't settle, don't shrink, don't fall Never, cold push hard The music industry's a mirror of the world outside Ten percent authentic, ninety percent contrived They stream you for fractions of a cent per play While the label takes the building and the artist takes the fray You chase the validation of the crowd and the click But the algorithm's rendered and the platform's got a trick Every feed designed to make you hungry, make you scroll Push, push, own your masters, own your sound, own your soul Push, push, facts don't lie Push, push, watch the truth get high Don't settle, don't shrink, don't fold Never, cold push hold [Verse 2] Street philosophy, nothing comes to those who wait Everything you owe already left through someone else's gate Comfort is the enemy of everything you could become And the clock don't negotiate, it's always on the drum You were never meant to settle for the life they assigned Every boundary ever set was set inside somebody's mind So when they say impossible, remember who's defining it Push, push, I'm not arriving, I'm designing it Every system tells you where your ceiling is Every institution profits from your doubt The hustle isn't optional The push is the only way out [Chorus] Cook cook push, push, facts don't lie Push, push, watch the truth get high Don't settle, don't shrink, don't fold Never cold push hold NEVER [Outro] [vocal chops: go down, go down, go down] IiId1ky411 Peace, I'm out [synth riff fades, final kick drum]
