Numbers Lie 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
