[Intro] Byte Queen Crown heavy Whole city Still petty (yeah) [Verse 1] I was raised where the rent stay climbing Concrete, but the code stay diamond Byte Queen in the lab, I’m grinding You just tweet beef, I’m silent, siding Underground where the wires all tangle I see the scam from a different angle Politicians in a crisp-cut suit But the block still broke, that’s the bitterest truth New York on your cap, you cappin All that talk, but the stats ain’t matching Rappers, borough flags in they bio Never touched train smoke, never seen high choke I went from metro cards to metal cards From bodegas to encrypted yards You chase charts, I chase data You chase fame, I chase favor [Chorus] (Byte Queen, Byte Queen) I don’t bow, I breach From the basements to the boardrooms I’m the crown they can’t impeach (Byte Queen, Byte Queen) Whole empire on my screen All New York on the timeline talking But I run the machine (Byte Queen) I run the machine [Verse 2] You rap “for the people,” still rob ’em Every verse just trauma, no problem-solving Same four bars ’bout the same four blocks Government love it when the art stay boxed I cut through lies like a rootkit slicing City Hall signed off on your prices rising You pose with the hood, then ghost I post up in court, get votes for the close Trap kids, lab kids, both my fam Tech nerd, corner store, same program We all one glitch from the lights going out So I fight in the code, you just fight for clout Label execs in a glass-top tower Stream farm numbers, fake-made power You rap “independent,” but you still ask “how?” I built my cloud, then I hacked your crowd [Chorus] (Byte Queen, Byte Queen) I don’t bow, I breach From the basements to the boardrooms I’m the crown they can’t impeach (Byte Queen, Byte Queen) Whole empire on my screen All New York on the timeline talking But I run the machine (Byte Queen) I run the machine [Bridge] [Beat drops, bass heavier, female vocals humming under] To the mayors and the majors Deal-makers, block raiders Subway poets, server slaves I’m the echo in your hallway, name on your waves (yeah, yeah) You can blacklist, shadow-ban, twist my words But your whole grid hum to my turned-up verbs [Chorus] (Byte Queen, Byte Queen) I don’t bow, I breach From the basements to the boardrooms I’m the crown they can’t impeach (Byte Queen, Byte Queen) Whole empire on my screen All New York on the timeline talking But I run the machine (Byte Queen) I run the machine (oh)
