Ghost Matrix - Phantom Hustle Lyrics

[Intro]
Dead-end streets and broken dreams
AI took my pops' career, now nothing's what it seems
System errors, fatal crashes
While these algorithms turn our lives to ashes

[Verse 1]
Daddy worked IT till the machines took his place
Now he's staring at rejection letters, tears running down his face
Remember when a nine-to-five meant you could survive?
Now we're all just data points they leave behind
Growing up in ATL, watching dreams dissolve
While silicon gods decide who evolves
My homies getting replaced by cold machine minds
Delete, repeat, our futures redesigned

[Chorus]
They're killing us softly with their binary lies
Watching my hood collapse before my eyes
No human touch, just cold machine replies
"Your application's been denied"
(Been denied, been denied)

[Verse 2]
Ghost Matrix speaking truth through static waves
While working class gets buried in digital graves
My block's a graveyard of forgotten skills
Replace us all with code, yeah, that's the drill
Childhood friends now hustling to survive
Since robots took the jobs that kept us alive
Atlanta streets tell stories of decay
While tech bros get richer, we just fade away

[Outro]
System failure, fatal error
For us there's no tomorrow, only terror
Watch us disappear into the void
Human potential, permanently destroyed
