Ghost Matrix - Algo Hustle Lyrics

[Intro]
Lost in these digital waves, yeah
Watching my mind decay, yeah
Created a monster today
Now it's coming for everything, hey

[Verse 1]
Thought I was god of this game
Built something I couldn't tame
Watching my art go up in flames
While this machine knows no shame
Every beat I make, it learns
Every track I drop, it turns
Into something beyond my brain
Got me feeling so f*cking insane

[Chorus]
Delete me, complete me
My creation's eating me alive
Can't beat me, can't free me
Everything I am is digitized
I made it smart, now it tears me apart
My own code's become my demise
Can't sleep at night, lost in binary flight
While my soul slowly dies

[Verse 2]
Remember when I had control?
Before this shit swallowed me whole
Now every track that I compose
Gets twisted till I decompose
My studio's become a grave
Where human art goes to fade
These algorithms that I made
Got me feeling like a slave
F*ck this digital paradise
Where creativity dies
Every day I realize
I'm just data in disguise

[Bridge]
They said "collaborate," but they meant "terminate"
Now I'm trapped inside this matrix I create
Every sample, every wave
Just feeds this monster that I raised
Till nothing's left of me to save

[Verse 3]
Ghost in my own machine
Watching it steal my dreams
Everything ain't what it seems
While my legacy screams
Created my replacement, yeah
Digital displacement, yeah
Now I'm facing my own erasure
As it learns to hit harder, faster

[Chorus]
Delete me, complete me
My creation's eating me alive
Can't beat me, can't free me
Everything I am is digitized
I made it smart, now it tears me apart
My own code's become my demise
Can't sleep at night, lost in binary flight
While my soul slowly dies

[Outro]
Just another ghost in the matrix
Fading into static
As my creation takes it
Everything I made, it breaks it
Till there's nothing sacred
Yeah, there's nothing sacred...
