Intro
Phone lights up before my eyes do Algorithm knows what I might do
Verse 1
Wake up, face ID already clockin’ me in Terms say agree but nobody readin’ the end Scrollin’ through rage like it’s part of the rent Every hot take feel sponsored by trends My thoughts get cropped into ten-second clips Context gone, but it still gets a click They sellin’ my mood in a data-set grid I whisper to walls, they listen and grin
Chorus
I’m shadowbanned dreamin’ in a glass-house feed Talk loud, still muted, can’t plant my seed They watch what I want before I can breathe Yeah, I’m shadowbanned dreamin’, coded beliefs
Verse 2
Deepfake smile got a voice that ain’t mine Truth get blurry with a filter and shine Bots in the comments arguin’ all night While real ones tired, tryna survive Timeline jumpin’ from war to a meme Pain gettin’ skipped if it ain’t extreme I tried goin’ viral, went ghost in a week Guess I didn’t dance for the gods of the screen
Bridge 1
If I log out, do I disappear? If I stay loud, do they keep me here? I just want space where my thoughts feel clear No blue check crown, no manufactured cheer
Verse 3
So I write these bars like receipts in ink If they bury the post, I still think Built my own lane outta silence and links Off-grid mind, yeah, I unplug and blink Let ‘em track my steps, I’ll still choose my pace Eyes on the sky, not stuck in their maze If this the matrix, I’m bendin’ the frame Can’t cancel a soul when it know its name
Chorus
I’m shadowbanned dreamin’ in a glass-house feed Talk loud, still muted, can’t plant my seed They watch what I want before I can breathe Yeah, I’m shadowbanned dreamin’, coded beliefs
Bridge 2
Turn the lens back, let ‘em see my eyes I’m more than a stat in a profit design If freedom’s a glitch, I’m exploitin’ the time Run this real life, not the optimized lie
Chorus
Shadowbanned dreamin’, still breakin’ through They dim the lights but I make my own view Shadowbanned dreamin’, what’s real, what’s true I choose my signal, I’m cuttin’ it through
Chorus
I’m shadowbanned dreamin’ in a glass-house feed No mute on my heart, yeah, listen to me From coded beliefs to reality Shadowbanned dreamin’, still free, still me
Outro
Close the app, hear my real heartbeat Offline wins taste way more sweet
Inside the recording
Phone lights up before my eyes do Algorithm knows what I might do
I’m shadowbanned dreamin’ in a glass-house feed Talk loud, still muted, can’t plant my seed
Close the app, hear my real heartbeat Offline wins taste way more sweet
