Lyrics
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
