Algorithm Don't Hold You

Verse 1

Scrolling at midnight the phone burn my thumb

Every face on the feed acting like they won

Posting the fake life the crib and the chain

Nobody post the nights when they crying in the rain

I got my head down low grinding in the dark

They taking selfies by the strobe light sparks

Click click flash a new fit every week

But the rent past due and they too weak to speak

Pre-Chorus

Numbers on a screen don't make you real

Likes don't pay the bills when the truth gets still

Chorus

Social mediate that's the game they play

Smiling in the daylight hiding what they weigh

Social mediate yeah they love the light

But the algorithm don't hold you at night

Post-Chorus

Tap tap tap tap tap tap

Double tap tap tap tap tap tap

Verse 2

Posted up in Brooklyn with my hoodie to my nose

Feds on the corner and I keep my movement low

They want the validation from a stranger's glance

I need the real paper and a second chance

My mama told me eyes down hands tight

The internet's a trap for the weak at night

They screenshot every line you say

One wrong move and they take it all away

Pre-Chorus

Followers ain't family when the storm comes

Views don't vouch for you when the cops roll through

Chorus

Social mediate that's the game they play

Smiling in the daylight hiding what they weigh

Social mediate yeah they love the light

But the algorithm don't hold you at night

Post-Chorus

Tap tap tap tap tap tap

Double tap tap tap tap tap tap

Bridge

I seen a kid go viral then lose it all

Fifteen minutes of fame then a silent fall

They clap for the content not the man

They don't care when you crack and you can't stand

Fuck the story fuck the post

Keep my circle small and my spirit close

Real ones know me on the block not the app

When the feed goes dark I ain't looking back

Chorus

Social mediate that's the game they play

Smiling in the daylight hiding what they weigh

Social mediate yeah they love the light

But the algorithm don't hold you at night

Outro

Mm

Mm-mm

Don't hold you at night

Mm

Don't hold you at night
