Everyday I’m like that
I want followers, fans and subscribers
Views in millions and all the positive comments
Wanna go viral
I wanna be an idol
I wanna make a lot of money offa my channel
I fake a lot of things, sometimes it’s my happiness
I make you think I’m happy but behind the screen I’m depressed
If you’re not on your social media grind, then you don’t exist
That’s what they saying all of the time
The competition is high
If you wanna succeed, you gotta put in long hours
And make yourself seen
I can’t believe how many hours a day I spend on my phone
It’s like I got it plugged in my brain
I follow other people’s lives, but forget about mine
Am I living my life through other people’s eyes?
I need to control my social media habits
This is too much, I’m a social media addict
Man fuck this shit, I’m putting my phone down
I’m going offline to start live in the now, right now
[Chorus]
Phone down, life up
I gotta stop wasting all this time
Phone down, life up
I need to find my peace of mind
Phone down, life up
I need control, I need it now
Phone down, life up
[verse two]
Instant gratification, I want everything fast
No patience, especially when the reception is bad
I’m having concentration difficulties
Easily distracted from all the impressions on my screen
Feels like 20 minutes, but it’s been an hour and a half
What am I doing wasting my time?
I should be focused on my work instead of watching funny clips
I hate myself for being so addicted to this shit
I hate myself for being addicted to getting likes
I spend more time with my phone than people in real life
Too obsessed with posting stuff on my wall
I want attention so I filter a picture to flaunt
It’s not real, I’m just putting up a facade
Pretending to be something that I’m not like a ghetto snob
This fake it til you make it shit has got to go
It’s time I snap out of it and live life original
[Chorus]
[verse three]
Kids don’t go out and play, they staying indoors on their phones
And their pads playing online games
Developing addictions at an early age
No control, sitting for a bunch of hours a day
It’s a shame
Who to blame?
When parents do the same
This virtual reality has taken over the brains
No physical activities, laziness and depression
It comes with the territory, people please listen
On the real
It’s not a good sign
It’s damaging the mind
I’m telling you right now
You should go offline for some time from your phone
Socialize in the real world, that’s how you grow
That’s how you get to look deep in your soul
That’s how you get fully focused on your goals
That’s how you find your balance and your control
That’s how you get to know which way to go, go
