Algorithm

Built around The algorithm controls what we see, think, and feel - we're all products being optimized. Street Wire's raw, unfiltered production carries the concept through hip-hop that rewards repeat listens. "But the algorithm chose you first, hold fast" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs calculating, cerebral. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.

[verse 1] You think you choose what you scroll past But the algorithm chose you first, hold fast Every like is a data point fed To the machine that lives inside your head It knows you better than your mama does Knows what makes you click, knows what makes you buzz Serves you content like a dealer on the corner Keep you coming back, keep you a mourner For the time you'll never get back scrolling Through a feed that keeps you from controlling Your own attention, your own direction The algorithm's got you in its collection [chorus] Algorithm, algorithm, running your life Algorithm, algorithm, cutting like a knife Through your free will and your precious time Algorithm, algorithm, the invisible crime You think you're choosing but you're being chosen Every pathway through the feed is frozen Algorithm, algorithm, who's really in control The hand that scrolls or the code that stole your soul [verse 2] They optimized the outrage, maximized the fear Because anger gets engagement, brings them near To the ad revenue that pays the bills Your dopamine is worth a couple mils To the shareholders who don't know your name You're a number in a profit game Every argument you had online Was manufactured by a bottom line They A-B tested your emotions raw Found the formula to keep you in awe Of nothing real but it feels like something The algorithm turned your life into buffering [chorus] Algorithm, algorithm, running your life Algorithm, algorithm, cutting like a knife Through your free will and your precious time Algorithm, algorithm, the invisible crime You think you're choosing but you're being chosen Every pathway through the feed is frozen Algorithm, algorithm, who's really in control The hand that scrolls or the code that stole your soul [bridge] Log off, they say, just put it down But the algorithm follows you around In your pocket, on your wrist, in your car You can't outrun what you already are A product [verse 3] But here's the twist, I use it too Got a following, got a revenue stream or two The same machine that traps the masses Is the one that fills my glasses So am I the problem or the solution Fighting the system through my contribution Using the algorithm against its maker Dropping truth in the feed of every faker Maybe we can't kill the beast we made But we can choose what gets displayed Be the signal, not the noise Take back the algorithm, find your voice [chorus] Algorithm, algorithm, running your life Algorithm, algorithm, cutting like a knife Through your free will and your precious time Algorithm, algorithm, the invisible crime You think you're choosing but you're being chosen Every pathway through the feed is frozen Algorithm, algorithm, who's really in control Take it back, reclaim your soul
