Numbers Lie

Your favorite rapper keep begging me for a bag Saying I need them then get left on seen and it's sad Saying I should pay for a drop Should get a feature and fast Before they never reaching back out Then a week'll just pass Guess who back in my inbox to sell it cheaper and Gas me like I'm next up Then set a fee up to add All my songs to your playlists to get hella streams on my stats Selling dreams cause they broke too, better keep it a stack Cause Numbers lie You know that these numbers lie Hov told me men lie, women lie, numbers don't I determine my own worth Numbers won't You know that these numbers lie How many starving artists get duped? By the fakest marks in some suits Saying they know just how to market your music Your targeted groups but it's all an illusion The spots you pursuing are lost in confusion Let's start at the root You see the industry's decline Is due to streaming's imminent design Dictating the algorithms they provide Companies incentive hoping you won't skip the ad and buy The bullshit they wanna sell you Once you click it they revise the budget Dump more money, then they round the whole amount Pennywise you get a third of that, you clown control your mouth They'll replace you with a plant Make up clout and throw him out there With a following of like a hundred thousand ghost accounts Your favorite rapper keep begging me for a bag Saying I need them then get left on seen and it's sad Saying I should pay for a drop Should get a feature and fast Before they never reaching back out Then a week'll just pass Guess who back in my inbox to sell it cheaper and Gas me like I'm next up Then set a fee up to add All my songs to your playlists to get hella streams on my stats Selling dreams cause they broke too, better keep it a stack Cause Numbers lie You know that these numbers lie Hov told me men lie, women lie, numbers don't I determine my own worth Numbers won't You know that these numbers lie How many starving artists get duped? Getting DM's from superstars for some loot Saying they know just how to market your music Like they ain't messaged the same shit To a thousand other motherfuckers charging a few Little racks And try to say that this a bargain for you Then have the nerve to go in the booth And say they pockets is bulging? Nah What they fed you is trash saying you could level up fast And send you a Cashapp request for a bag It'll get you the stats, they won't even remember the fact You shouldn't rap, we'll even throw in a commemorative plaque You don't gotta put in the work to see the rest of the map Cause your song's a bop from all these bots that we connected to apps On this journey trying to walk a few steps'll probably Get you there faster than you jogging through yet I'm like awesome, cool, yes, you got a lot of views, bet But blue hundreds ain't coming if you bought your blue checks, look Your favorite rapper keep begging me for a bag Saying I need them then get left on seen and it's sad Saying I should pay for a drop Should get a feature and fast Before they never reaching back out Then a week'll just pass Guess who back in my inbox to sell it cheaper and Gas me like I'm next up Then set a fee up to add All my songs to your playlists to get hella streams on my stats Selling dreams cause they broke too, better keep it a stack Cause Numbers lie
