[Intro]

Yeah

Turn me up better


[Verse]

Yeah, I came into this game off of Rumors

Saying I was a bully was the rumor

Had the silver magnum with the Ruger

Back when me and 80 proved these niggas couldn't move us

We was outside, never beefing on computers

I was pushing buttons

Was never going back and forth with niggas that was wack

That never been a hunnid, no jumper but I'm offense

Where these boys at? Bet they harmless

Now they disrespect and say it's content

The clicks and thе clout

These niggas still go on Clubhouse

Hassan Campbеll yelling on his couch

The shit is getting creepier

Lord save me from these killers on social media

YouTube made it easier

For them to skip the facts

Been ten toes down, matter fact

I zip niggas up, let's get to that

I'm from the crack epidemic

I dropped school 'cause I wasn't good with academics

Running wild, I was a menace

Here's a million dollars worth of game, a comment for your section

I been around the world, I met a couple Harlem legends

That's before I was on TV

Ask Vlad; Live on Gates, I was Gully TV; Smack DVD

Niggas be like "Maino man, wassup with you and 5-0?"

I'm like, I really feel like I been beefing with the Five-0

Guess they got a movement, "Who?" 050

They claim it's just entertainment, far as I know

50 tried to use the nigga Max as a pawn

Causing more division for the city, got us torn

It remind me of them battles I been in behind the wall

I held it down inside them big yards, ask Fuquan

Staring in the mirror, see a killer in reflection

Don't let that go over your head, the dirty section

I came up from the 90's

We was throwing bullets, me and Gotti

Running from the Jake, 1090

It is what it is, we gon' probably die the way we live

It's all about the numbers for these kids

Don't matter if it's lies

As long as they page is monetized

'Cause on the internet the strong survive

Here's a toast, take a drink champ

I pray that one day that we gon' meet, champ

These niggas going viral just to be stamped

The internet is doing what the streets can't

They do it for the algorithm


[Outro]

Yeah

You see what's going on out here

These niggas ain't got no morals; no principles

They say anything, they do anything

It's all about the numbers

Disrespect and then say it's content

Hahahahaha

Disrespect and they say it's content, nigga!

It's all about the numbers, it's all about the algorithm

It's all about the algorithm!

Yeah!
