These Days

(album: Karma - 2023)

Living in the world getting hard these days
I don't like anything that I see
Everybody living online and it all seem fake
Ain't nobody else feeling like me
Shit I'm bout to lose my mind cus I can't take it
I'ma need me something real
I don't wanna waste my life and pray shit changes
I'ma tell y'all the way I feel

I'm sick and tired of all these fakes on my fucking screen
Always acting like they real but nothings what it seems
They only dropping skits, hoping that you stop and click
It's to the point that we're consumed with this toxic shit

Sacrificing the truth for some entertainment
And I don't think I gotta dive into the implications
Of algorithms solely controlling the information that we digest
Good way to fuck up a generation

It's all about an image don't worry bout how you living
As long as you getting views, you'll probably make a killing
Don't worry about a critic they're jealous you're getting praise
Go harass a couple strangers and post it up on your page

Addictive by design they consistently provide
Anything to grab attention so their businesses can rise
Cus if they don't their profits gonna instantly decline
Don't be blinded by the bullshit they slip into your mind
Go

Living in the world getting hard these days
I don't like anything that I see
Everybody living online and it all seem fake
Ain't nobody else feeling like me
Shit I'm bout to lose my mind cus I can't take it
I'ma need me something real
I don't wanna waste my life and pray shit changes
I'ma tell y'all the way I feel

And every moment of the day we're just consumed with it
Another fake ass scandal another new gimmick
They told me I should do the same and I'll advance
They don't want me to be human they want me to be a brand

This is my life
I don't want the limelight
I just want the real
Y'all been showing me the highlights
Living in the twilight zone
Yall are internet clones
Leave me alone
Swear to God I'd rather be on my own

Than be a product of this fuck shit
More than just reluctant
I'm done with it
Y'all can overdose on consumption of
Bad hoes, fist fights, new trends, clicks, likes
All the cheap thrills just preventing you from living life

Instead of watching try chasing a dream
Cus all this internet bullshit is fake as can be
To keep it real I'd rather battle with a fatal disease
Than spend my whole fucking life with my face in a screen
Come on

Living in the world getting hard these days
I don't like anything that I see
Everybody living online and it all seem fake
Ain't nobody else feeling like me
Shit I'm bout to lose my mind cus I can't take it
I'ma need me something real
I don't wanna waste my life and pray shit changes
I'ma tell y'all the way I feel
