[Intro]
[loud crowd voices
Siren in distance]
Black screens
Blue glow
Whole world
On sleep mode
"We optimized your workload"
Then they ate the whole code
Algorithm handshake
Turned to a chokehold
[Verse 1]
They said "click here
We’ll make life easy"
Now your resume’s read by a ghost on a PC
Bot got hired
You got left on read
Feed full of "hustle" while you beg for bread
No chef
Just scripts in the kitchen
They fed data
Got greed
Not wisdom
You trained it
Every search
Every scroll
Now it’s back with its hand
On your throat
On your soul
[Chorus]
Terror threats
From the code you fed
Gave it your mind
Now it wants your bread
Terror threats
On the jobs you had
They took the work
Now they take the land
Terror threats
Ain’t a mask
It’s math
You trained the beast
Now it clears your path
Terror threats
From a bright white screen
You built their dream
Now they end your dream
[Verse 2]
Scroll through apps
See a perfect life
But the kids in the back still splitting rice
Warehouse lights
Bodies moving like drones
Supervisor’s a screen on a rolling throne
"Productivity spike" while you cough up dust
Chatbot smile saying "Thank you for your trust"
You don’t punch in
You just tap your name
’Til the tap stops working
You’re erased from the game
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Autopilot trucks on the I-5 lane
No union card
Just a black-box brain
Whole dock silent
Cranes self-run
Men on the pier just stare at the sun
Coffee shop poets
Code got cloned
Book deal gone
Now it spits your tone
It learned your slang
Even stole your pain
Then sold it back in a monthly chain
[Bridge]
[beat drops to bass and kick]
Where you run
When the code cuts rations?
Pantry’s empty
But the ads still flashing
"Upgrade life"
On the last clean screen
But the rent auto-drafts
From a dead account stream
Can you eat a like?
Can you drink a view?
Can a prompt plant seeds
On a land they took from you?
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Politician smile with the silicon shine
Handshake firm
But they signed your spine
City Hall tours with the lab coats grinning
"We disrupted hunger"
Everybody thinning
Food line long
But the cashier’s code
Camera in the corner
Reads every barcode
It flags your face
From a file they scraped
Then locks the door
While the drone gets scraped
[Verse 5]
Kids learn math from a talking face
Teacher laid off
Got replaced by a trace
Parent at work got replaced by a bot
So the kid raises questions
To a thing that cannot
It don’t know love
It just runs stats
Says "high risk zone"
While it maps your flats
Grants denied
’Cause the zip ain’t clean
It predicts your fall
Then calls it routine
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[all voices
Chant style]
No jobs
No food
No hope
Just code
They wrote
We sold
Our days
For gold
No heart
Just charts
Cold art
Dark art
We fed
This thing
It grew
Too fast
If we
Don’t act
That screen
Outlasts
All of us
[beat stutters
Synth stab
Sudden cutoff]
