[Verse 1] Yeah, uh Heard your idol bought streams, that ain’t really the move Got the bots in rotation, but they don’t make you groove All those fake interactions just pollute the view You can’t algorithm love — it don’t trend like truth. Scrolling through illusions, chasing dopamine highs, Every stat you inflate is another disguise. You viral on paper, but not in the streets, Whole image for sale, nothing under the beats. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] They calling it success, but it’s paid applause, When the check clears, so does the cause. You can’t fake the crowd when the lights turn low — All the streams in the world can’t buy that glow. ⸻ [Chorus] You buying streams, chasing dreams on a deadline, Fame on lease — expiration in the headline. Numbers up, but your name don’t ring, You sold your soul for a temporary king. I got the reach without touching the code, They feel my words — that’s a different mode. You playing pretend for the algorithm’s theme, But I’m living proof you can’t purchase a dream. ⸻ [Verse 2] Labels love the data, they don’t hear the sound, They just need a spike to spin you around. You went viral overnight, but nobody stayed, ‘Cause clout’s just a candle that burns away. I took the long road — blood, sweat, and pen, Built this from the ground, not a click-through trend. They ghostwrite hype, I ghost my fears, My stats don’t lie — they come with years.
