Nowadays, rappers like to front like they so hard
You ain't no holds barred, you just no bars
But I ain't here to talk about no rappin', man that's played out
Underhanded comments, I don't go the Willie Mays route
Stay out you fears, man I got too much to say now
Companies tryna buddy me for money, ain't your pay-pal, nah
See music bout to feed me, but it kept me breathin'
Kept me believin' when I ain't have nothin' to believe in
Now I listen to the river and I stare out at the foliage
On my Axel Foley shit, breakin' all the rules
While servin' all these bad guys like a waiter up at Trump Towers
Young cowards inhale all the smog 'til they lungs shatter from the smoke blown by the ones with the most power
Sit and watch how the net work like my own router
Everyone got voices they ain't earned and it's dangerous
All terms are lame and shit, so how do I explain this shit?
The Internet lied to us
But shouts to Soundcloud where you play this song
Said the Internet lied to us
So share this on Facebook when you get home
Tell 'em 'bout me on the Gram, I ain't got no other plan
We at war on her land, and she got the upper hand
How we gon' see our reflection in this murky water?
Said how we gon' see our reflection?
Nowadays, I sleep less, cause I'm up hittin' refresh
We exposed to more than before yet we see less
And I ain't even know if it's bad as it can be yet
Kids buried in a screen and they ain't even got all their teeth yet
Food for thought slidin' down the gullet, they can't chew it right
Sure to choke 'em if they don't use it right
They ain't usin' sight to guide, but wait up, gimme a second, my phone buzzin' man
I got notifications think I got myself another fan
Where was I? Oh yeah, distractions gettin' heavy
We opened up the floodgates but we ain't worked on the levee
So I'm in the heart of the storm tryin' to explain what rain is
Forced to engage with anyone with whom I've made acquaintance
I try my best to be good, I ain't say that I was patient
Pennin' statements algorithms cannot tell me what their fate is
Days when I'm not sure quite how to explain it
So let me just say this, I'll put it in layman's
The Internet lied to us
But shouts to Soundcloud where you play this song
Said the Internet lied to us
So share this on Facebook when you get home
Tell 'em 'bout me on the Gram, I ain't got no other plan
We at war on her land, and she got the upper hand
How we gon' see our reflection in this murky water?
Said how we gon' see our reflection?
