The Algorithm Don’t Know Me

Lyrics

[Intro – Digital Static, Distant Youth Choir]

[Choir – Whispered Unison]

Swipe
Judge
Count
Compare

But you don’t know me
You were never there

[Rap Verse 1]

My page said I was winning
While I barely knew myself
Kept the cleanest parts in public
Put the real stuff on the shelf

Every post became a question
“Will they watch or scroll away?”
Started measuring my value
By the numbers on display

Then one clip did better than me
Now the pressure said repeat
Turn your pain into a series
Keep the people in their seats

But the crowd don’t know the prayers
That I whispered after dark
And a trending little moment
Can’t explain a human heart

[Pre-Chorus – Rising Harmonies]

You know the image
God knows the person
You know the caption
God knows the purpose

[Chorus – Full Rap Choir]

The algorithm don’t know me
It can’t tell me what I’m worth
It can track what keeps me watching
But it never gave me birth

The algorithm don’t know me
It can’t name what God designed
I am more than what gets noticed
I am more than what gets liked

[Choir Hits]

Known by God!
Not by stats!

Built for truth!
Not for apps!

[Rap Verse 2]

I watched people fake a lifestyle
Just to keep the numbers high
Saw them turn their whole identity
Into something they could buy

Everybody selling answers
Everybody building brands
But some smiles are just a costume
And some followers ain’t friends

So I stopped checking every hour
Stopped refreshing for applause
Let a quiet life feel honest
Without proving I was called

Now I post what I believe in
But I don’t belong to reach
I won’t let a recommendation
Decide the truth I’m meant to speak

[Pre-Chorus – Split Choir]

You know the image
God knows the person
You know the caption
God knows the purpose

[Chorus – Full Choir, Anime Strings]

The algorithm don’t know me
It can’t tell me what I’m worth
It can track what keeps me watching
But it never gave me birth

The algorithm don’t know me
It can’t name what God designed
I am more than what gets noticed
I am more than what gets liked

[Bridge – Call and Response]

[Leader]
What if nobody shares it?

[Choir]
Truth is still truth!

[Leader]
What if nobody saves it?

[Choir]
God still sees you!

[Leader]
What if your numbers drop?

[Choir]
Purpose does not!

[Leader]
Who defines your name?

[Choir]
The Lord alone!

[Rap Breakdown]

I am not a data point
Not a product in a feed
Not a pattern they can study
Then predict what I will be

I can log off
I can breathe
I can hear what heaven speaks
When the screen stops giving orders
I remember I am free

[Choir Drive]

Not the views!
Not the shares!
Not the comments everywhere!

Not the hype!
Not the trend!
God knew me before all them!

[Final Chorus – Key Change]

The algorithm don’t know me
It can’t tell me what I’m worth
It can track what keeps me watching
But it never gave me birth

The algorithm don’t know me
It can’t name what God designed
I am more than what gets noticed
I am more than what gets liked

[Final Tag – Massive Choir]

Before the post
Before the name
Before the crowd
Before the fame

God saw me
God chose me
God knows me
Completely

[Outro – Soft Choir]

The algorithm don’t know me
But God does
