Hard
Social media is addictive and most of us overdose
brains just go comatose
Cause its so easy
Everyone saying they got this depression
But its really this scrolling that made them dependent
What did they expect, we were only 11
What did you expect when you gave us a bottomless pit of the pleasure that our brains stay craving
And now they're debating if we went insane and if we were the problem and we didn't make it
But look what you gave us, like this is what made us this way and you turned a whole generation into a battle of alphas and betas
But they really played us cause no one was winning
Fight videos in our feed and they're wondering why we're so violent
This shit didn't come out of nowhere
They blame us and say its about you, about me
But they don't point fingers at silicon valley
The don't give a fuck if we're losing our team
They making sure zuck is still getting his cheese
Destroying the millions for 10 peoples greed
Comparing yourself when you’re taking some rest
To people whos posting when they’re at their best
We all part the problem, but we’re all the victims
And the people thats winning are cashing their checks
It's really no question that socials be causing depression and it's not a side effect it's their intention
To hijack attention, To keep us in mentions and keep asking questions
And giving us all the wrong answers
Im proud of myself then see a post that says that i can't even manage
Go to a concert and all you see cameras
Can't cut if off though, i wont even know what these people be talking bout when they be having their convos
So i put up with all of these posts of these people who go on vacation in condos
Not gonna make this too long so lets get to the heart of the issue
This won't go away by itself they probably gon try to dismiss you
Gen Alpha is screwed if it keeps going like this, we gotta protect them dont want ‘em to be like us
These companies making this money off kids like we’re oil or coal but they’re gonna exhaust us
Most of us feel like they already lost us, and we lost each other
Internet beefing is breaking up brothers
Always Reminded of people above us yeah
I know we can do it, i know we can reconnect, none of us trapped to the internet
Got out that position i’ve been in that
Really just sad that Its so deep inside our society we can't get out of it, we need some help
I'm calling on people with power to do it But if you don't listen I'm guess im just going to have to do it myself
Hard
Thanks!
