CHALLENGER'S RAP

• (Verse 1)
• They counting streams like they worth something more than just a rhyme
• Call it a puppetish punk the grind slipped their minds
• Yeah, charts full of clout, man sometimes they cheat with the bots
• While those who actually need to are out there starving from empty patches
•  
• Algorithm kings; they lacking in the pen
• Ghostwriters ghostin while they frontin for the Gram
• A million followers, not even one fan
• They chasing all the digits, but they never understand
•  
• all that hype is burying talent deep
• They are circus men playing with your life in the industry
• It's streams over substance, and it's a numbers game they play
• But who gon remember a word that they said when the smoke clears?
•  
• (Verse 2)
• They sell their souls to get a place on the charts
• They don't care about the craft it's all about the cash for them
• Contracts like chains: for bread they're dancing
• But when that light fades, guess who's left feeling punked?
•  
• No tales they weave against the recycled verses
• They talking bout them streets and they ain't never seen a shell
• It's just all a front, really a game for weak people
• Spittin' them empty bars, chasin' trends every week
•  
• They came out with a new flex, but the culture be broke
• It's like a puppet on strings, dude. All just one big joke, man
• Most of the real ones are the sideline ones
• While these numbers nuts do their dance chasing fame
•  
• (Verse 3)
• They say it's all numbers, but c'mon kick the real math
• Streams are just glorified padded labels
• Purchase fake views bots that can boost plays
• But once the smoke clears, the art begins to rot
•  
• They fixin charts, payola on the rise
• Just paying off positions, but built on lies
• It's a money race, it's corrupt
• Talents get slept on cause dollars all the chase
•  
• They got a hold of the hype and never seen one gage
• They're pushing out all these phony stories because that's what pays
• Artists that the machine stifles and shelves
• While the hype pockets in off a completely empty, hollow dream
•  
• (Hook)
• It's all about the numbers, but you gotta check the receipts
• Paying for clout while the real ones retreat It's wholesale streams
• but the talents are outdated In this business, only the fakes truly battle
• its all about the numbers but the truths on ice Who cares about degrees?
• Go cook the books They're making money fast, but the culture's messed up
• For in this business of lies Only the truth can bring peace
