Yo, it's a trap, not talking about beats
Popularity's a cage, trapping minds and fleets
Originality drowned, lost in the stream
Everybody chasing trends, living in a dream
Used to be unique, now it's all the same
Copycat culture, it's a damn shame, come on

The Trap of Likes

Social media's got us on a leash
Likes and follows, trading in our speech
Lost in the numbers, forgetting what's real
In the trap of likes, let's find the key
You know why?
Because I won't conform
I won't be a pawn
Originality in my heart is
It's grown
Breaking the chains, reclaiming my throne
In a world of copies, I
Goddamn, I stand alone, right, baby?

You see, popularity's a fickle friend
Originality, that's the doll right over there
With a message to send
Trap style rap, breaking the trend
Gotta rise above, let our voices blend
Because now every track is sounding like it's from the same, same game

In the trap of likes, let's find the key
Unlock our minds, set our minds free
Popularity, one more time
Popularity, can't define you or me
Can't define you or me, popularity

Popularity's killing originality
Lost in the crowd, no individuality
Trapped by the trends, no creativity
In the echo chamber, where's the authenticity?
Social media's got us on a leash
Likes and follows, trading in our speech
Lost in the numbers, forgetting what is real
I used to stand out, but now I blend
Blend, blend, blend, blend, blend
Popularity's killing originality
Lost in the crowd, no individuality
Trapped by the trends, no creativity
In the echo chamber, where's the authenticity?

Thank you for sticking with me and listening to my songs. I notice the ones who show up, the ones who keep coming back, the ones who let this music into their life. That means more to me than I can put into words.

I hope these songs have given you the same strength and peace they’ve given me. I write them to lift the soul and the spirit, because in times like these, we need every bit of light we can find.

If there’s one thing I want you to remember, it’s this: never give up on yourself. If you want something, you have to work for it and sometimes you have to work hard as hell just to move forward. But I believe in you. I believe you’ll reach that first goal on your journey. And when you do, don’t stop. Keep going. There’s always another level waiting.

In the meantime, there’s a whole universe of music here for you to explore. These songs are written from lived experience and created to be felt, not just heard. If any of them speak to you, let me know.

Welcome to the way my mind works.

Welcome to my world.

Cheers,
MDRJR
