[Verse 1] Scrolling through the feed, everybody’s awake Another “check my track” for the numbers’ sake “Hey bro, click my link, go stream my song!” “Drop a heart, hit follow, help me get along!” From Tokyo to L.A., it’s the same old noise Chasing empty numbers like they’re brand-new toys Begging for attention, begging to be seen Forgetting why we started making music in the first place [Pre-Chorus] Chase the clicks Count the hearts But numbers don't make A song have a soul [Chorus] Stop asking for likes Stop begging for a remix Music ain't a sales pitch You gotta make it hit Put your hands on the beat Give them something they can feel If the track hits hard They'll know it's real Don't say, “Check my song!” Don't beg, “Please stream!” Make something people want Without the sales pitch [Verse 2] “Bro, remix my stems, make it go viral!” Spamming every server in a desperate spiral “Go stream my new song! Tell your friends to share!” By the tenth reminder, nobody really cares Fifty songs a week, but nothing feels alive Chasing every trend just to stay in the ride Algorithm gods don't owe you anything Fake applause won't make the real fans sing [Bridge] Less self-promo More real sound No sub-for-sub No fake applause No “bro, please stream” No “check my page” Make something worth Coming back to [Breakdown] Stop begging. Start cooking. Stop chasing. Start creating. [Final Chorus] Make the track hit Make the bass shake Give them a reason To press replay No “check my song” No “please stream” No begging for a number On a screen If they want it They'll come back If they feel it That's a fact Stop begging. Start cooking. Make the music. Let it speak. [Outro] No sales pitch. No begging. Just music. Let it speak. Well… this one came right back at me. 🤣 Sorry, I was guilty of it too! I’ll do better. Time to stop chasing numbers and start making better music. 🎵 Lyrics: Mount-Kay
