Chorus:
If a song drops on the internet and no one is around
Does it make a sound
Can you hear me now?
X2
Verse 1:
How come when nobody is watching is harder to give my all
I’m a keep rocking ain’t stopping because of who didn’t call
Everything matters to Abba no matter how big or small
Long before all of the cameras the batter must hit the ball
Daily I battle my shadow with arrows and win the war
Don’t wish I will it don’t want it I work with the wherewithal
See the writing on the wall like aerosol
Still I be on the court shooting air balls
It’s stressful trying to be successful
But what if you already are sacred and special
Forget moves motivated to get views
It’s better not to let the right know what the left do
Word is bond I got bars don’t bother the bailiff
Even if they never ever get caught on surveillance
I would never use my talent to be an assailant
Prayers of a righteous man they are bound to availeth
If a song drops on the internet and no one is around
Does it make a sound
Can you hear me now?
X2
Verse 2:
No quandary god speed how I’m doing this laundry
Fast like Ghandi until it is complete
With my peers yo I can't even compete
I’m busy kicking it with the kids on the concrete
Sipping this coffee and visiting Auntie
Playing my favorite song and I’m singing it off key
Probably off beat
Killing me softly
I’m just trying to live I ain’t trying to be lofty
However costly whatever it cost me
Big things small things God is in all things
I rub my eye trying to see through the nebula
Less separation beween sacred and secular
I don’t need the accolades or the props or the praises
To continue writing pages and rocking on stages
I’m just trying to find my way through the phases and mazes
To let me generation know that my God is amazing
If a song drops on the internet and no one is around
Does it make a sound
Can you hear me now?
X2
Verse 3:
I used to say I’m going to make it
Instead today I chose to make this
You can add this song to your playlist
And tell all your friends know it’s your favorite
We gon’ shine bright
Bright as the day is
But like Moses my light is fading
Still I rock like the cavemen
Cause I know whose image I’m made in
Sing a song for someone somewhere
Even if it seems like nobody does care
Even if its unclear what the plan is upstairs
Got bars but barely got bus fare
All I gotta do is work on the album rhythms
I don’t really got to worry bout algorithms
All I gotta do is work on the album rhythms
Dont gotta fret about the fans or how to get them
All I gotta do is focus on altruism
