RI: "The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world as if it were nothing at all. We bleed for the physical but wealth is like seawater: the more we drink the thirstier we become. You act like mortals in all that you fear and like immortals in all that you desire. But look at the ashes. Alexander the Great and his mule driver both died and the exact same thing happened to both. It is not the person who has too little but the person who craves more that is truly poor" Fascinatin' How some of y'all keep insistin' there's selfworth to be found in hollow numbers at all Keen to call me a queen 'cause it's my Suno Disney points they've seen But I mean It's all a shtick, smoke and mirrors, a fuckin' gimmick, spite fuelin' the gray art of a blue bitches parlor trick Everyone trendin' like trades, no matter what they say, hey, trendin' even faked plays n likes, back in the day The whole deal with genre reel was slappin' em on ya track so ya could steal the show up on the homepage back to back N ion know if you new folk heard the word, but, if you ain't, listen closely to this songbird What if i told you we used to have the trendin' of old where toppin' meant strikin' numeric gold it froze long ago with the sweet bro LJ's beat still gettin' that neat bottin' heat It's all just funny to me y'know Watchin' people wild out, treatin' each other like shit, all for a buncha numbers that don't even matter one bit copin' that if they hit alot of 'em they made it Here's the thing selfworth comes from within, it ain't plays, it ain't likes, and it sure ain't how many people you've got followin' Countin' myself lucky For the kind folk I met authentically The friends havin' my back loyally The experiences helpin' me personally Grow more into the Ri I wanna be So there you go for one last time 'cause I promised a homie Now with a flourish and a bow Exit stage right The endin' to the story Of this pain in the ass blueberry And so do we now truly part Tell me Do ya feel like you've stayed true Durin' the chase of this art Never lost heart Still feel whole Still got that drive rooted deep in your soul And tell me Have you ever fallen For the illusion which encumbers The illusion some think consists of wonders The illusion turnin' folk into clout hunters Have you ever fallen for all these meaningless suno numbers Infectious: Look, I ain’t anti-number, I’m anti-number worship Anti turn your whole personality into a platform service Anti-watchin’ grown adults treat a homepage like it's their purpose Then get vicious with each other when their placement starts to worsen Like congratulations, brother, you successfully got traction Did it make you more creative? Did it bring you some satisfaction? Did it fill whatever’s missin’ or just feed another fuckin' habit? (Funny, cause I wasn't really askin') Everybody weaponizin’ little digits like they’re ballistics Sun's already rising and the home page got a high K D statistic "Everybody murderin' the beat" here's your trophy, 'case you missed it Killin’ tracks by the millions, somehow nobody gives a fuckin listen Chasin’ artificial praise like it’s an artistic nutrition Used to think that recognition meant somebody saw the vision But I know a number climbin’ is just simple pattern repetition You can manufacture traffic, can manufacture connection Can automate the moment but not someone hearin' a reflection (take a second and reflect on that) Uh, uh, yeah Watch ’em measure every friendship by the level of engagement Every interaction turnin’ into strategic arrangement Compliments transactional, support becomes repayment Everybody call it networking, looks more like social enslavement Everybody needs a rival just to justify placement Someone else gets recognition, suddenly it’s confrontation Like another person shinin’ somehow lowers your location Life ain’t pie, your slice ain’t smaller from another’s celebration Now attention got exchange rates, clout became denomination Likes become another currency for social negotiation Follow me, I follow back, support becomes obligation Whole ecosystem built upon a pyramid of validation That fast enough for you Ri?
