Yo Fam, lemme tell you something
Half the dudes on The 'Gram that like your posts
Are really scammers trying to sell you something
What's even worse to me, personally
Producers who pretend they heard your music
To try to get you to purchase beats
More artists on The Gram than there's hot women
And that's a whole helluva lot, isn't it?
Just a barrage of noise bombarding the listener
Making it harder to make 'em wanna stop and listen
How do you stand out
In a landscape where everybody got their hand out
Artists who just started, and washed up rappers that never panned out
All competing for the attention of the same damn crowd
Feels like it might swallow my soul
Do a TikTok challenge, watch my followers grow
Spit some shit that's out of character and follow the mold
Of whatever else is poppin' and your bound to explode
Got me feeling like a clown and a chode
Didn't start writing bars cuz I wanna be famous
I wanna be the one your favorite artist regards as the greatest
Don't wanna pay to be considered for your playlist
Just to have you tell me there's really no place that you can place this
But it's a necessary evil
And we need to speak the language if we wanna reach the people
This shit has helped me meet alotta like-minded emcees
That show a lot of love and support each other as equals
But on the flip, it's a sick scheme
My post got 600 likes, but the song only has 6 streams?
Guess we do what we gotta do to survive

I guess there ain't no use in fighting the grind
I just gotta say goodbye to my pride
I think loneliness has found me now
Roaming through a house of doubts
So many choices - I'm cycling in the roundabout
So many voices - hoping that I could drown 'em out
And just avoid them and stay focused on my travel route
Hoping this joint hits
Cuz this is pointless
Like a broken arrow tip
I'm not mad, I'm disappointed
Like your parent is, it's so embarrassing
Hearing you full of arrogance
But there is no comparison
To music that I cherish in
My heart just like a child of mine
Not just a product that I've catalogued and itemized
These bar codes should keep us all in line
I'm just being honest
I don't think that half of ya'll could even qualify
For rocking on my Spotify
Let alone to be dropping rhymes upon the mic
So when I'm on the track - take it all in stride
More to gain, never compromise
The message for a price
I'm just gonna optimize
I am never not in prime
Condition with my fitness
I be slippin like I'm on the ice
Got me witnessing the signs
This life is all divine
My mission's all in line
Pour it in like
I guess it's coffee time cuz I am up and on the grind
And it's a necessary evil
If this wasn't in your feed
we probably never would've reached you
All the artistic expression don't amount to shit
Unless you play the game and try to overcome the algorithm
It's a necessary evil
